Abstract
Studies on complex chatbots (defined as chatbots that involve users in long interactions resulting in making users process many pieces of information and taking many actions) show inconsistencies in the relationship between the perceptions of the complexity of these systems and adoption-related constructs. This paper reports on an ongoing research study that proposes a shift to attend to user goal frameworks and goal magnitudes to study this relationship. In this study, we synthesize the concepts of goal systems theory and goal framing theory to systematically develop a scale for measuring goal magnitudes within different goal frameworks during interactions with chatbots. Subsequently, we develop and test a theoretical model that represents the influence of user goals on the intention to switch to human representatives.
