ABSTRACT
A variety of chatbots were developed to elicit people’s emotional responses and manage the emotions of people. These chatbots often use text-based emotional sentences. However, there are few studies that chatbots use extremely simplified communications to induce some emotional responses. We investigated the effect of mood contagion and tried to induce positive or negative words from people on our web-based ”word chain game” system as the most simplified conversational style. We also defined the system’s emotion as making the system use words that have polarity, which means each word’s strength of positive or negative emotion. The result shows that users of the system using positive words were slightly influenced to use more positive words than the neutral or negative system.
