TSUNDERE Interaction: Behavior Modification by the Integrated Interaction of Cold and Kind Actions

Abstract

In order to reinforce behavior modification, we first applied a user's favorite avatar with TSUNDERE type to operant conditioning, an approach that reinforces desired behaviors by providing a combination of punishment and reward. Then, we considered TSUNDERE Interaction, an interaction using TSUN (cold action) as punishment, DERE (kind action) as reward, and TSUN/DERE action by that avatar. Furthermore, we use a 3D virtual avatar superimposed on the robot using augmented reality technology as an avatar, and use the user's state of concentration to provide appropriate feedback to the user. In this paper, we discuss the core concepts we have implemented to develop the system based on their idea as a means of behavior modification.
