Evaluation of Person Interactions ::

Susanne Quadflieg
New York University

This experiment has ended. Here is a debriefing and description of what was done: "In our study, we presented participants with a series of photographs. Each photograph showed two people involved in an interaction. For instance, participants would see a person giving a gift to another, two people carrying boxes, a couple dancing and so on. In each picture, one of the two individuals was marked with a star (*). Participants were asked to focus on this target when making their judgments. For each picture, we asked participants to indicate whether the person seemed intelligent, likeable, animate, able to have emotions, and machine-like. We also asked participants to rate whether they would find “seeing a person acting like this” believable, eerie, and safe. At the end of the survey, we asked participants to complete a short personality questionnaire and to answer some demographic questions (age, gender, education, religion, nationality). We are interested in how ratings on the above dimensions may differ depending on whether a person is engaged in a mainly instrumental interaction (e.g., one person helping another with carrying boxes) or in a mainly social interaction (e.g., one person engaging in a chat with another), and whether differences (if any) are influenced by a perceiver’s personality and demographic background." The instructions were: "You will be asked to look at a series of person interactions and to evaluate each interaction according to several dimensions (e.g., how safe, intelligent, likeable etc. a target person seems to you). At the end of the study, we will ask you to provide some personality information (e.g., whether you consider yourself calm, extraverted etc.) and demographic information (e.g., your age, gender, nationality). Participation will take you about 30 min. "
This experiment has ended. Debriefing available.

How Likely? - A Plausibility Survey ::

Elizabeth Johnson, Jesse Snedeker
Harvard University

What kinds of information do we use in our everyday language comprehension? Word order, general knowledge, intonation, emotion... and plausibility. If you hear a restaurant employee ask "Can I bake your order?" you know that the resulting interpretation is implausible. It would be much more plausible to ask "Can I take your order?" In this study, we ask you to rate the plausibility of 48 sentences describing events taking place in a playroom setting. We hope to use these ratings as the basis for a more extensive exploration of our use of plausibility in language processing.
