In a qualitative study in the field of user-companion interaction (UCI), we figured out that users of a system, which was meant to represent a preliminary step towards future Companion-systems, tend to individually ascribe (mostly human-like) characteristics to the system in order to turn it into a potential relational partner. Users’ intrinsic motivation to establish and maintain a relationship with these individualized systems was found throughout the analyses and led us to the development of a concept called ‘users’ relational ascriptions’. In this paper, we present the empirical background of this concept and describe defining characteristics of relational ascriptions, reasons for their formation, factors that influence their content and quality as well as factors, which are influenced by the ascriptions. We sum up with a definition of relational ascriptions and discuss practical implications and future work. |
