When stereotypes meet robots: The double-edge sword of robot gender and personality in human–robot interaction

作者:

Highlights:

• We investigated the effect of role stereotypes on user acceptance of social robots.

• People respond to social robots based on gender and personality stereotypes in a role.

• People more easily accepted robots that were in line with their existing stereotypes.

• A social robot is neither a solely affective nor functional product.

• In-role robot personality, compared to gender, was more influencing on user responses.
