用大模型模拟人际信任,发现价值观相似度越高关系越紧密
Value-Based Large Language Model Agent Simulation for Mutual Evaluation of Trust and Interpersonal Closeness
- 设计可控制价值观的提示词,让大模型扮演具有特定价值取向的虚拟人
- 语言相同情况下,价值观相似的模型对彼此信任度和亲密感评分更高
- 为社会学理论提供可验证的数字实验平台,适合研究社交机制的学者
大型语言模型(LLMs)已成为通过具备特定特质的人类型代理模拟复杂社会现象的强大工具。在人类社会中,价值观相似性对建立信任与亲密关系至关重要;然而,这一原则是否适用于由LLM代理组成的人工社会尚不明确。为此,本研究通过两个实验探究了价值观相似性对LLM代理间关系构建的影响。首先,在预实验中评估了价值观在LLMs中的可控性,以确定最有效的模型与提示设计。随后,在主实验中生成具有特定价值观的代理对,让其通过对话后互评信任度与人际亲密程度。实验在英语和日语环境下进行,以考察语言依赖性。结果表明,价值观相似性更高的代理对表现出更强的相互信任与人际亲密感。研究证明,LLM代理模拟可作为社会科学研究理论的有效验证平台,有助于揭示价值观影响关系形成的机制,并为社会科学催生新理论与洞见奠定基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for simulating complex social phenomena using human-like agents with specific traits. In human societies, value similarity is important for building trust and close relationships; however, it remains unexplored whether this principle holds true in artificial societies comprising LLM agents. Therefore, this study investigates the influence of value similarity on relationship-building among LLM agents through two experiments. First, in a preliminary experiment, we evaluated the controllability of values in LLMs to identify the most effective model and prompt design for controlling the values. Subsequently, in the main experiment, we generated pairs of LLM agents imbued with specific values and analyzed their mutual evaluations of trust and interpersonal closeness following a dialogue. The experiments were conducted in English and Japanese to investigate language dependence. The results confirmed that pairs of agents with higher value similarity exhibited greater mutual trust and interpersonal closeness. Our findings demonstrate that the LLM agent simulation serves as a valid testbed for social science theories, contributes to elucidating the mechanisms by which values influence relationship building, and provides a foundation for inspiring new theories and insights into the social sciences.
