Abstract
A Virtual Trainer (VT) for ethical expertise development can potentially contribute to organizational and personal moral well-being. For successful training, adapting the agent's strategy based on the performance of a user is crucial. We explore to what extent a user's gaze may be a suitable cue in this context. In our experiment, a VT confronted university employees with a complaint from an anonymous student on unfair grading, a plausible scenario. Addressing criticisms from students may be a stressful situation for many teaching professionals.
According to our preliminary look at post-experiment interviews, participants saw the value in a VT that lets them practice such encounters. What is more, many participants felt truly taken aback when our VT announced that a student is unhappy with them. Yet, in terms of gaze we found no significant within-subject difference between neutral moments and morally conflicting moments on grade disputes for our participants.
