子供とLLMチャットボットの間の擬人化:ドライバーと結果に関する体系的レビュー
Anthropomorphism in Children's Interactions with LLM Chatbots (arxiv.org)
要約
本論文は、子供と大規模言語モデル(LLM)チャットボットとのインタラクションにおける擬人化現象を体系的にレビューしたものです。2022年から2025年にかけて発表された35の研究を分析し、人間のようなペルソナ構築、適応的スキャフォールディング、支援的なコンパニオンシップ、非人間的な具現化デザインが子供の擬人化インタラクションを促進するドライバーであることを特定しました。また、子供が示すパラドキシカルな社会的・道徳的反応、チャットボットに対する二重意識、多様な社会的つながりの形成、社会的境界の探求、会話の途絶に対する人間的な物語の帰属といった5つの擬人化の結果を明らかにしました。これらの知見は、子供の幸福に焦点を当てたLLMチャットボットの将来的な設計と開発に役立ちます。

Abstract:Researchers across domains have investigated children's use of LLM-based chatbots through various perspectives and methodologies.
However, prior research remains fragmented regarding anthropomorphism, the tendency for children to assign human characteristics to those large language Model (LLM) chatbots as non-human objects.
By analyzing 35 empirical studies published between 2022 and 2025, this systematic literature review identifies the drivers of anthropomorphism in children's LLM chatbot interactions and the subsequent outcomes of these interactions.
We found that human-like persona construction, adaptive scaffolding, supportive companionship, and non-human embodied design drive children's anthropomorphic interactions.
Additionally, five anthropomorphic outcomes emerged, including children exhibiting paradoxical social and moral responses, dual consciousness about the chatbots, forming varying social ties, exploring social boundaries, and attributing human narratives to conversation breakdowns.
The findings, including both benefits and risks, can inform the future design and development of LLM chatbots focused on children's well-being and promoting sustainable interactions that meet children's developmental needs.
