In a world where humans and technical agents (e.g., robots, AI) work collaboratively, processes of social inclusion and exclusion in human-agent interaction (HAI) gain importance. However, the current focus of social exclusion in HAI is too narrowminded and neglects many forms of social exclusion (e.g., averted eye gazes, microaggressions, hurtful laughter). To change this, the effects of different types of social exclusion will be explored in a series of experiments against the background of William’s need-threat model [34]. By doing so, we will test the transferability of the model, build a HAI-specific taxonomy, and derive prevention strategies. We look forward to interdisciplinary discussions about this topic and hope to receive valuable feedback and inspiration for the presented PhD project which has just started a few months ago.
