Abstract: Amid escalating environmental pollution, conservation organizations strive to involve the public in combating the issue. This study investigated how a chatbot with a higher experiential mind engages people in interaction with a pro-environmental chatbot, leading to more successful persuasion. Findings suggest that a chatbot with a higher level of experiential mind (vs. lower) simultaneously triggers eeriness and amazement, leading to higher cognitive absorption and a positive message attitude. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
