Experimental Data on Mind Perception and Eating Behavior in Edible Agents

Takuma Shimoyma's dataset contains anonymized experimental results evaluating mind perception, reluctance to eat, and feelings of guilt in response to edible agents. The data is stored in two Excel files, each corresponding to a different counterbalanced video evaluation order, and totals 300.9 KB. The dataset was last updated on May 20, 2026, and is associated with a research article submitted for publication.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between perceived mind in an edible agent and reluctance to eat based on experimental evaluations.
• Study the correlation between mind perception and feelings of guilt as described in the experiment.
• Compare behavioral responses between different video presentation orders (Video 1 first vs. Video 2 first).

Strengths

• Data is anonymized to protect participant privacy.
• Experimental design includes counterbalanced video order to control for sequence effects.
• Dataset is associated with a formal research article submitted to a journal.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
