The Electronic Mirror: Human-Computer Interaction and Change in Self-Appraisals.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
De Laere, Kevin H.; Lundgren, David C.; Howe, Steven R. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1998
Compares humanlike versus machinelike interactional styles of computer interfaces, testing hypotheses that evaluative feedback conveyed through a humanlike interface will have greater impact on individuals' self-appraisals. Reflected appraisals were more influenced by computer feedback than were self-appraisals. Humanlike and machinelike interface…
