About
Dr. Esther Greussing is a leading voice in computational communication science, with a sharp focus on the methodological frontiers of human-machine interaction. Her most-cited work, "Researching interactions between humans and machines: methodological challenges" (2022, 13 citations), serves as a critical roadmap for scholars navigating the complexities of studying communicative agents. In this pivotal paper, Greussing argues that these agents are not merely digital tools but are designed and perceived as "communicative subjects"—life-like partners that fundamentally alter the dynamics of communication. This insight challenges traditional research paradigms and calls for innovative, interdisciplinary methods. Beyond this core contribution, Greussing’s research consistently bridges communication theory, computer science, and social psychology, probing how people perceive, trust, and interact with algorithms and artificial entities. Her work is essential for anyone seeking to understand the shifting landscape of mediated communication, where the line between human and machine interlocutor blurs. By identifying the profound methodological and conceptual challenges ahead, Greussing is helping to define the next generation of communication research.
