SummaryA research paper on conversational agents that support decision-making reflection. The authors argue adaptive dialogue policies map observable user behavior to next actions but miss the user's underlying reasons. They introduce a collaborative reflection method that pauses the agent to surface its observation and ask the user to interpret the pattern, deriving a nine-category taxonomy from a study with 62 users and 232 collaborative moments.
Why it mattersFindings directly inform how reflection-support agents should be designed: behavior alone is insufficient. The nine-category taxonomy is a concrete artifact for builders of decision-support dialog systems.
