Intention to work with social robots: the role of perceived robot use self-effi...
Giger, Jean-Christophe; Piçarra, Nuno; Pochwatko, Grzegorz; Almeida, Nuno; Almeida, Ana SusanaRecent studies have enlightened the crucial role of perceived robot use selfefficacy in human robot interaction. This paper investigates the interplay between perceived robot use self-efficacy, attitudes towards robots, and beliefs in human nature uniqueness (BHNU) on the intention to work with social robots. Participants (N = 117) first filled out a questionnaire measuring their BHNU and attitudes towards robo...

Development of the beliefs in human nature uniqueness scale and its association...
Giger, Jean-Christophe; Piçarra, Nuno; Pochwatko, Grzegorz; Almeida, Nuno; Almeida, Ana Susana; Costa, NeuzaThere is an actual trend for humanizing technological artifacts, especially social robots. However, human-like social robots trigger negative attitudes by threatening human uniqueness as well as humanness. The present paper presents the development of the Belief in Human Nature Uniqueness Scale (BHNUS) to assess the individual tendency to deny social robots the possibility to have human features considered to b...
Social representation of robots and its impact on trust and willingness to coop...
Pochwatko, Grzegorz; Możaryn, Jakub; Różańska-Walczuk, Monika; Giger, Jean-ChristopheRepresentations of social robots influence the formation and change of attitudes toward them. Researchers propose a study focused on representation to explain the psychological factors determining behaviour toward robots and intercultural comparisons of attitudes toward them. The primary goal is to provide insights for the enhanced construction of such robotic systems and the optimization of human-robot interac...
Discourse comprehension and simulation of positive emotions
Horchak, Oleksandr V.; Giger, Jean-Christophe; Pochwatko, GrzegorzRecent research has suggested that emotional sentences are understood by constructing an emotion simulation of the events being described. The present study aims to investigate whether emotion simulation is also involved in online and offline comprehension of larger language segments such as discourse. Participants read a target text describing positive events while their facial postures were manipulated to be ...
