About
Ziying Yuan investigates the evolving dynamics of human-machine interaction, with a particular focus on how intelligent media and chatbots reshape social behavior. Her most cited work, "Impact of media dependence: how emotional interactions between users and chat robots affect human socialization?" (2024, 27 citations), explores the deepening dependency between humans and AI, arguing that emotional bonds with chatbots are fundamentally altering traditional social practices. Yuan’s research illuminates how media dependence has become a pervasive behavioral foundation in contemporary society, raising critical questions about the future of human connection. Her contributions are especially timely as conversational AI becomes ubiquitous, offering both theoretical insights and practical implications for understanding digital socialization. By examining the psychological and social consequences of human-chatbot relationships, Yuan provides a nuanced perspective on the intersection of technology and human behavior. Her work is essential reading for scholars and students interested in media psychology, human-computer interaction, and the societal impacts of artificial intelligence.
