| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, the development of information technology and the decrease in opportunities for direct communication among young people have led to weakened “social skills”, namely, their ability to verbally communicate with others, interpersonal skills, and stress responses. Systems that simulate social-skills training using an animated character have been developed. However, the existing systems only assume scenes involving a one-to-one conversation; conflicts or pressure situations like highly social scenes are not considered. Therefore, we propose a training system that reproduces various kinds of communication scenes using multiple animated characters. Through role-playing and feedback, the user can experience various interactions among people and can acquire social skills.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
多人数状況下でどのようなソーシャルスキルを学ぶべきかを整理し、圧力状況下で断るスキル、会話から抜けるスキル、多人数の中で意見を言うスキルにおいて、実用的な会話シーンや選択肢を用意できたことに意義があったと考える。検証実験においてユーザが適切な選択肢（言動）へ変更することが見られ、ソーシャルスキルを向上させるシステムの開発の目的は達成できたと考える。ウェブ上で動作するシステム開発にも着手しており、今後さらに広く活用してもらえるシステムになると考える。
