| The following indices will be compared between the avatar hearing group and the face-to-face hearing group (1) Increment of heart rate index from baseline Heart rate is used as an indicator to reflect the mental state, and given the tendency of heart rate to increase and heart rate variability to decrease in response to tension and stress states [9], it is expected that such variability is likely to occur in both groups in the dialogue situation in this study as well. In addition, the avatar hearing group is expected to be less tense than the face-to-face group due to communication via avatars, and the heart rate index fluctuation is expected to be smaller than that of the face-to-face hearing group. (2) Speech information Using recorded speech, the amount of speech relative to the overall hearing time is calculated. It is expected that a comfortable speaking environment will increase the amount of speech and shorten the reaction latency (in this study, the time between hearing the previous speaker's utterance and speaking). (3) Increments in blood pressure from baseline Although blood pressure increases in response to stress conditions, it is expected that the increment in blood pressure will be smaller in avatar hearings than in face-to-face hearings. By confirming this, we expect to be able to show that tension during speech is smaller in avatar hearings. (4) Increments of oxytocin and alpha amylase from baseline Both indices, which are considered to be more likely to increase with stress conditions, are expected to show smaller increments in blood pressure with avatar hearing than with face-to-face hearing. By confirming this, we expect to be able to show that tension during speech is smaller in avatar hearings. (5) Skin conductance (SC) increment from baseline It is expected that the increment of SC, which is considered to increase in response to anxiety and stress, will be smaller in the avatar hearing than in the face-to-face hearing. By confirming this, we e | — |
