Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this paper, we proposed an artificial school class game to solve the bullying problem. A multi-player type game, in which many players participate, needs a few hours, so that the players get tired. Oppositely, in a single-player type game, the player do not play seriously because the others are not human but the agent programmed. To solve this issue, we used the single-player type game, but cheated the participant making the half of others to be players. As a result, all the participant were deceived. Especially, they recognized that the following three features, 1) a counterattack behavior against the exclusion behavior, 2) a refusal of the inclusion to others, and 3) an irrational behavior, should be human-like.
