This is the data and analysis code for the first two rounds of the formative assessment of the Dutch translation of the English Artificial Social Agent (ASA) Questionnaire. This questionnaire can be used to characterize interactions between humans and ASAs.
The original English questionnaire can be found with this DOI: 10.4121/19650846.
Studies
The formative assessment so far consists of two rounds of assessing the correlation between original English questionnaire items and their Dutch translations. English items with too low correlation scores in a round are retranslated and re-assessed in the subsequent round. The assessment consists of people who indicate having Dutch as their first and primary language, being fluent in English, and being bilingual rating the English items and their Dutch translations for the human-ASA interaction depicted in a 30-second video clip. The studies were run on the online crowdsourcing platform Prolific.
So far, we have only done the first two of three rounds (each consisting of a translation of English items into Dutch and a subsequent evaluation of the resulting correlations based on a crowdsourcing study). The two studies were run between the 29th of May and the 17th of June 2023.
The studies have been pre-registered here: https://osf.io/adknw.
Data
For each of the two rounds, we provide the ratings for the English and Dutch questionnaire items as well as data on the characteristics of the participants (age, gender, highest completed education level from their Prolific profiles). A random identifier called "rand_id" can be used to link the data files.
