About
Yujing Duan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, media psychology, and artificial intelligence. Her work fundamentally explores how emerging intelligent media—particularly conversational agents and chatbots—reshape human socialization and emotional bonds. Duan’s most cited study, “Impact of media dependence: how emotional interactions between users and chat robots affect human socialization?” (2024, 27 citations), provides a groundbreaking analysis of how deep, emotionally charged dependencies between humans and chatbots are becoming a behavioral cornerstone of modern social practice. This research reveals that as users increasingly rely on AI for companionship and communication, traditional human-to-human social structures are being transformed. Duan’s contributions are vital for understanding the psychological and societal implications of ubiquitous AI, offering critical insights for designers, policymakers, and social scientists. Her work is notable for bridging communication theory with empirical studies of emerging technologies, establishing her as a key voice in debates about the future of human relationships in an AI-mediated world.
