Gender significantly impacts perception of affective movements, shaping interactive machine design.
The article explores how men and women perceive emotional hand movements differently. The researchers found that gender plays a significant role in how people interpret these movements, especially when displayed on different types of structures. The study shows that males and females have varying reactions to the emotions conveyed through hand movements, depending on whether they are shown on human-like or non-human structures. This research is crucial for designing interactive machines that can effectively communicate with users of both genders.
