“An explanation for this may be due to the human tendency to anthropomorphize virtual characters (Gong, 2008), a tendency, it is proposed, that meets two needs; social interaction and control of the environment (Epley, Waytz, Akalis & Cacioppo, 2008).”

“Nine-point scales were used to allow future direct comparison with previous experiments investigating the Uncanny Valley in characters (see e.g. MacDorman, 2006; Tinwell, 2009; Tinwell and Grimshaw, 2009; Tinwell et al., 2010) where 9-point scales were also used.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
