  • 隨著人工智慧與社交型機器人逐漸應用於健康相關決策,機器人正從資訊傳遞工具轉變為可能影響使用者理解、評價與決策的推薦代理人。過去研究多分別探討訊息框架、推薦解釋透明度與擬人化程度,較少在同一具身推薦互動中整合檢驗三者的作用。本研究以社交人型機器人 Pepper 作為推薦代理人,在保健品推薦情境中探討三項說服設計因素對使用者反應的影響。經三輪前導研究修正刺激與互動設計後,正式研究招募60位大學生與研究生,採用2 × 2 × 2混合因子設計:訊息框架(獲益與損失)為受試者內因子,推薦解釋透明度(高與低)及擬人化程度(高與低)為受試者間因子,每位受試者完成兩輪推薦任務。本研究以感知推薦品質為主要評價結果,理解程度為過程相關構念,購買意願為後續行為意圖,二元接受決策則作為補充決策指標,並結合問卷、系統紀錄與半結構式訪談進行分析。操弄檢核顯示,框架操弄僅獲部分支持,主要反映於損失導向線索的感知;透明度操弄未形成顯著主觀差異;高擬人化則使 Pepper 被知覺為更具人性化與外向性。三項實驗因素均未對感知推薦品質產生顯著主效果,預設的二因子交互作用亦未獲支持,但理解程度與感知推薦品質呈顯著正向關聯,感知推薦品質亦與購買意願呈強烈正向關聯。系統紀錄與訪談資料進一步顯示,受試者主要依據產品是否符合需求、推薦理由是否清楚,以及安全性、劑型與便利性等實際考量評估推薦,並透過追問、比較與產品切換補充資訊。透明度感知多在整體互動中逐步形成;損失導向語句雖較容易被注意,卻常被理解為一般健康提醒;高擬人化則提升了 Pepper 的人性化與外向性印象,但未改善推薦評價。整體而言,使用者反應與推薦適配性、理由清楚度、互動流暢度及選擇空間較為密切,未呈現由單一說服設計因素所主導的模式。


    As AI-driven social robots increasingly serve as recommendation agents in health-related decision-making, message framing, recommendation explanation transparency, and anthropomorphism have each been studied as persuasive design factors, yet few studies examine them together in the same interaction. After three rounds of pilot testing, 60 participants completed a 2 × 2 × 2 mixed-design experiment. Framing was manipulated within subjects, while transparency and anthropomorphism were manipulated between subjects. Manipulation checks showed partial support for framing, no significant perceived difference in transparency, and stronger human-like and extraverted impressions under High Anthropomorphism. None of the three factors significantly affected perceived recommendation quality, and the hypothesized two-way interactions were unsupported. However, understandability was positively associated with perceived recommendation quality, which was strongly associated with purchase intention. Behavioral logs and interviews showed that participants focused mainly on need–product fit, recommendation rationale, and practical concerns. Transparency developed across the interaction, loss-oriented statements were often interpreted as general health reminders, and stronger anthropomorphic impressions did not improve recommendation evaluation. Overall, user responses were more closely related to recommendation fit, clear reasoning, interaction fluency, and room for choice than to any single persuasive design factor.
