Adults still can't resist: A social robot can induce normative conformity

作者:

Highlights:

• We investigate the more likely scenario in which social robots represent the minority in human-robot interactions.

• Using the classic Asch paradigm, we find that a social robot as a member of group does elicit normative conformity.

• A social robot who dissents a correct answer reduces conformity and increases accuracy.

• A social robot who dissents with another incorrect answer decreases conformity but does not increase accuracy.
