Abstract
The paper discusses correlation between interlocutors’ eye-gaze behavior and their perceived personality traits in human-human and human-robot interactions. Given that personality is related to the person’s typical manners and styles of behaving, it can be assumed that such underlying characteristics are reflected in the person’s gaze patterns as well. Starting from the comparison of human-human and human-robot interaction, the participant’s gaze frequency and length in regard to the human vs. robot partner’s face and body are related to the participant’s perceived personality traits. A positive correlation is found concerning the differences in gaze patterns and the extrovert personality trait. This seems highly reasonable, considering the basic function of gaze as a means to collect situational information and the extrovert communication style as actively looking for new information.
