To facilitate collaborative tasks that include different but related subordinate tasks, it is important to consider the
consistency and coordination between the objectives of the subordinate tasks (local objectives) and the purposes of the entire
task (global purposes). In this study, we propose a method that alternately propagates local objectives and global purposes during
a collaboration through interactions using a two-layer model. We investigated the effects of the proposed method on human
stress levels. We conducted an experiment in which we used two types of agents to evaluate the effect. Questionnaires confirm
that the proposed method significantly improved impressions of consistency and naturalness. The results of our electrocardiogram
analyses confirm that the participants’ stress levels increased throughout the task when they interacted with the traditional
agent. The analyses show the possibility that physiological indices can use to evaluate the collaborative task performance from
the viewpoint of human stress.
