Phase N/A

Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to develop (a) measures that can be used to understand the extent, nature, and bases of people's negative reactions to robots; (b) theoretical models of the causes and consequences of these negative reactionsl and (c) interventions that demonstrably reduce negative beliefs, attitudes, and behavior in intergroup human-robot interaction (HRI)

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: healthy
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

This study investigates negative reactions that people have towards robots. It aims to understand why these reactions occur and how they affect interactions between humans and robots. The study will also explore ways to reduce negative beliefs and behaviors during these interactions.

Participants will be involved in activities that measure their reactions to robots. These activities will help researchers develop models to explain these reactions and test interventions to improve human-robot interactions.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18-65 who have regular interactions with robotic technology.
  • Study details: Participants will engage in activities that measure their reactions to robots. Researchers will develop models to explain these reactions and test interventions to improve human-robot interactions.
