The conversational chatbots have evolved from text-based or speech-based tools to multimedia applications. The chatbot built into social media platforms soon becomes a new trend in digital marketing. They are revolutionizing the way major companies stay in touch with their customers to help forge a strong and long-lasting relationship. Experts suggest that giving chatbot a specific personality could facilitate users to feel the uniqueness of the company’s brand and develop emotional connections with the company. Therefore, how to make users aware of a company’s brand personality through its chatbot design, such as visual design, conversation style, and naming, has become a key to build an e-commerce chatbot. In social media, the appearance of a chatbot is only presented through the circular profile picture (avatar). Can the chatbot’s avatar design affect users’ perception of a chatbot’s brand personality? This study aims to explore the influence of the graphic elements of an avatar on the personality perception of chatbot through a questionnaire survey. Using Kansai Engineering’s method, the chatbots’ avatars available on the market were collected and analyzed to generalize the ten elements of avatar design, including face shape, eyebrow thickness, accessories, eye shape, mouth shape, bangs, hair color, hairstyle, hair length, and distance. Then 27 avatar samples were created by using these design elements. Participants were recruited via an online questionnaire to rate each avatar sample on Aaker’s (1997) brand personality dimensions, namely sincerity, excitement, competence, sophistication, and ruggedness. A total of 217 complete responses were received. The study found that: (1) participants could perceive chatbot’s brand personality and gender cues through different arrangements of avatar design elements. (2) The gender of participants affected the participants’ perceptions of the avatar’s personality. (3) Among the chatbot’s avatar design elements, the “face shape” element influenced the perceived “ruggedness” personality the most; for the rest of the personality dimensions, “sincerity”, “excitement“, “competence“, and “sophistication” , the “mouth shape” element had the most influence on participants’ perceptions. (4) To male participants, the “banging” element influenced the perceived “ruggedness personality the most; for the rest of the personality dimensions, the “accessories” element had the most influence on participants’ perceptions. (5) Regardless of the participant’s gender, the design element that affected the avatar’s gender most is the “hair length”. (6) The level of influence of each avatar design element on chatbot’s personality perception varied, depending on the gender of the participant. Finally, implications for chatbot avatar design and suggestions for future work in this area are also provided.zh聊天機器人聊天機器人個性品牌個性頭像設計感性工學ChatbotChatbot PersonalityBrand PersonalityAvatar DesignKansai Engineering聊天機器人頭像設計元素對其品牌個性感知之影響The Effects of Avatar Design Elements on Chatbot's Brand Personality Perceptionmaster thesis
