Service robot implementation: a theoretical framework and research agenda (2019, background): “Crucial human-like features include a head (Yu & Ngan, 2019) and facial expressions of emotions or intentions (Takanishi, 2000), especially during face-to-face interactions (Kiesler, Powers, Fussell, & Torrey, 2008).”
How perceptions of intelligence and anthropomorphism affect adoption of personal intelligent agents (2020, background): “Prior work explored robots ’ sociability, humanlikeness, and machine-likeness (Kiesler and Goetz 2002a, 2002b; Kiesler et al., 2008; Powers and Kiesler, 2006); robots ’ movement, artifi-cialness, fakeness, and consciousness (Bartneck et al., 2007, 2009); attributions of intentions, consciousness,…”
Avatars Versus Agents: A Meta-Analysis Quantifying the Effect of Agency on Social Influence (2015, background): “Although humans often anthropomorphize representations (Kiesler, Powers, Fussell, & Torrey, 2008), our ﬁndings indicate that the perception of human control in these interactions—not just human-like appearance—may be crucial for compliance.”
Anthropomorphism: Opportunities and Challenges in Human–Robot Interaction (2014, background): “Furthermore, the physical presence of a robot results in a decreased willingness of people to disclose an undesirable behaviour compared to a projected robot [92].”
The Role of Healthcare Robots for Older People at Home: A Review (2014, background): “Research has found that people develop stronger affinities to robots and interact with them in a similar style to the way they would interact with people, resulting in greater usage and greater compliance [67].”
Anthropomorphism and Human Likeness in the Design of Robots and Human-Robot Interaction (2012, background): “Results indicated that participants were more engaged, disclosed less undesirable behavior, and forgot more with the robot versus the agent [39].”
Consumers’ identification with corporate brands: Brand prestige, anthropomorphism and engagement in social media (2017, background): “Research on anthropomorphism of technical objects shows that people perceive the relationship with an anthropomorphised object as stronger, more positive and more personal (Luczak et al., 2003; Kiesler et al., 2008; Eyssel and Kuchenbrandt, 2012).”
