• Humanizing Products with Handwritten Typefaces (2018, background): “That is, products might be humanized by attributions of human-like emotions or features (Waytz et al. 2010), but our study shows for the first time that handwritten typefaces also can function as humanization cues.”
• Anthropomorphized species as tools for conservation: utility beyond prosocial, intelligent and suffering species (2013, background): “This has led to the use of anthropomorphism in campaigns dealing with products ranging from flavored fruit drinks to condoms to car parts (Spears et al. 1996; Waytz et al. 2010).”
• Interactions With Robots: The Truths We Reveal About Ourselves (2017, background): “Experimental work supports this hypothesis by showing that agents described as less predictable are anthropomorphized to a greater extent (Waytz et al. 2010).”
• The mind in the machine: Anthropomorphism increases trust in an autonomous vehicle (2014, background): “All participants first completed a driving history questionnaire and a measure of dispositional anthropomorphism (Waytz et al., 2010).”
• When Time Has a Will of Its Own, the Powerless Don't Have the Will to Wait: Anthropomorphism of Time Can Decrease Patience (2014, methodology): “One was the time anthropomorphism scale that we described in our pilot study (Waytz et al. 2010).”
• Anthropomorphism in AI (2020, background): “First, perceiving AIs as humanlike entails considering them as moral agents, and their actions as the result of an autonomous decision-making process (Waytz et al. 2010), thereby having a normative impact that they should not have.”
