We give an overview of engagement in human-agent interaction. We discuss the different definitions of engagement in human and social science, specify how they relate to certain other concepts, and give an overview of the high level behaviour that is often associated with engagement. This work serves to position our future research on engagement in human-agent interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
