Overview

Mediation study reveals how attachment style influences problematic AI chatbot use via social anxiety and human-robot empathy.

Key Points

  • Anxious attachment significantly heightens social anxiety and human-robot empathy, leading to problematic AI chatbot use.
  • Avoidant attachment mainly influences problematic use through increased social anxiety without significant empathy effects.
  • Both social anxiety and human-robot empathy act as mediators, enhancing engagement with AI chatbots and fostering problematic patterns.
  • The study uncovers emotional pathways in human-AI interactions, shedding light on behaviors in the digital age.
