Abstract

Nowadays, artificial intelligence is becoming more and more popular all over the world in different fields. Scientists have worked with great passion for combining artificial intelligence with physical healthcare, natural disaster defense, accessible e-learning, and emotional healing (Zárate-Torres & Correa, 2023). What individual personality traits, identified through the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) affect interactions with chatbots is also one of the hot topics (Hogan, 2007). This research explores whether diverse personality types of experience chatbot communication differently and how chatbot design can be improved to meet the need for this variation. The purpose is to improve user engagement and satisfaction. The research combines some interesting literature reviews, user interviews, and a comparative usability study to test the relationship between personality traits and user chatbot interactions. By using a qualitative approach, it shows that users’ personality traits significantly influence their preferences and interaction patterns with chatbots. Meanwhile, this research has limitations. The sample size is small, short-term interaction is not long enough to monitor chatting results. However, it helps people believe that user-centered chatbot responses based on the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) can improve user satisfaction and engagement.
