	abstract = {In social psychology, emotional contagion describes the widely observed phenomenon of one person{\textquoteright}s emotions mimicking surrounding people{\textquoteright}s emotions [8]. While it has been observed in humanhuman interactions, no known studies have examined its existence
in agent-human interactions. As virtual characters make their way
into high-risk, high-impact applications such as psychotherapy and
military training with increasing frequency, the emotional impact
of the agents{\textquoteright} expressions must be accurately understood to avoid
undesirable repercussions.},
