Abstract How people behave towards others relies, to a large extent, on the prior attitudes that they hold them. In Human–Robot Interactions, individual robots have mostly been investigated via explicit reports can be biased by various conscious processes. present study, we introduce an implicit measure of robots. The task utilizes semantic priming evaluate whether participants consider humans and as similar or different. Our results demonstrate link between distance robots, humans,...

Anthropomorphism describes the tendency to ascribe human characteristics nonhuman agents. Due increased interest in social robotics, anthropomorphism has become a core concept of human-robot interaction (HRI) studies. However, wide use this resulted an interchangeability its definition. In present study, we propose integrative framework (IFA) encompassing three levels: cultural, individual general tendencies, and direct attributions human-like robots. We also acknowledge Western bias...

Evidence shows that a robotic agent in the presence of human can affect selective attention mechanisms same way fellow can. However, it's uncertain whether this process stems from anthropomorphism attribution. We investigated issue using task social-presence paradigm. One group participants performed so-called Eriksen Flanker (EFT) robot after verbal social teraction (i.e., socialrobot condition), while other did with only described nonsocialrobot condition). Results showed that,...

Humans interpret and predict behavior of others with reference to mental states or, in other words, by adopting the intentional stance. The present study investigated what extent individuals adopt stance towards two agents (a humanoid robot a human). We asked participants judge whether different descriptions fit behaviors robot/human displayed photographic scenarios. measured acceptance/rejection rate (as an explicit measure) response times making judgment implicit measure). Our results show...

In the near future, human social environment worldwide might be populated by humanoid robots. The way we perceive these new agents could depend on basic psycholog-ical processes such as categorization. Recent results indicate that humans can make use of stereotypes when faced with robots based their characterization "male" or "female" and a perception group membership. However, question applica-tion nationality-based to has not yet been studied. Given attribute different levels warmth...

How individuals interpret robots' actions is a timely question in the context of general approach to increase robot's presence human social environment decades come. Facing robots, people might have tendency explain their mentalistic terms, granting them intentions. However, how default or controllable this process still under debate. In four experiments, we asked participants choose between (intentional) and mechanistic (non-intentional) descriptions describe depicted robot various...

In human-robot interactions, people tend to attribute them mental states such as intentionality make sense of their behaviour:the intentional stance. These inferences deeply influence how one will consider, engage and behave towards robots. However,people highly differ in likelihood adopt this Therefore it seems crucial assess these interindividualdifferences better evaluate understand interactions. two studies we developed validated the structureof a task aiming at evaluating what extent...

In human-robot interactions, people tend to attribute robots mental states such as intentions or desires, in order make sense of their behaviour. This cognitive strategy is termed "intentional stance". Adopting the intentional stance influences how one will consider, engage and behave towards robots. However, differ likelihood adopt Therefore, it seems crucial assess these interindividual differences. two studies we developed validated structure a task aiming at evaluating what extent robot...

By forcing selection into response execution processes, the present mouse-tracking study investigated whether ongoing process of in colour-word Stroop task is influenced by conflict and facilitation at both level stimulus. Mouse-tracking measures including partial errors provided credible evidence that semantic (i.e., distinct constituents interference) contribute to overall interference effect even after a has been initiated. This contribution was also observed for (that credibly decomposed...

Dans le futur notre environnement social pourrait être peuplé de nouveaux êtres artificiels : les robots. Même si l’intérêt envers la robotique est plus en présent, paradoxalement perception ces agents et l’impact leur présence sur société reste peu étudiés. cette revue, au travers d’une littérature pluridisciplinaire, nous proposons dérouler processus sous-jacents à des robots du concept d’anthropomorphisme, c’est-à-dire l’attribution caractéristiques humaines un non-humain. Nous...

A future world populated by robots is a projection that has long inspired and still inspires science-fiction stories. As their complexity increase people can help but compare to these artificial entities why not question own "human nature". While it easy assess the superiority of humans on many dimensions, there one, central all in favor our kind: mortality. In this study, we investigate how individuals react toward robot makes comparison dimension stand out may define attitudes towards...

Attentional control does not have fix functioning and can be strongly impacted by the presence of other human beings or humanoid robots. In two studies, this phenomenon was investigated while focusing exclusively on robot gaze as a potential determinant attentional along with role participants’ anthropomorphic inferences toward robot. study 1, we expected found higher interference in trials including direct compared to an averted task measuring (Eriksen flanker task). Participants’ about...

Emotional contagion, in particular of happiness, is essential to creating social bonds. The somatic marker hypothesis posits that embodied physiological changes associated with emotions and relayed the brain by autonomous nervous system influence behavior. Perceiving others' positive should thus be activity regions relaying information from autonomic system. Here, we address this question using a unique corpus recorded during unconstrained conversations between participants human or humanoid...
