Field Experiment Tests How AI Voice Agent Personas Influence Children's Persuasion
A randomized field experiment on a German Santa Claus hotline tested how different AI voice agent personas (high authority vs. low authority) affect children's susceptibility to persuasion.
Conversational agents increasingly interact with children, yet evidence on how their design shapes children's susceptibility to persuasion comes almost entirely from the lab. We report a $2\times2$ randomized field experiment embedded in a public German Santa Claus telephone hotline. Children's calls were randomly...
Understanding how AI voice agent design influences children's responses is crucial as conversational agents become more common in child interactions. This research moves beyond lab settings to provide evidence from naturalistic environments.
