Individual differences predict sensitivity to the uncanny valley (2015, background): “…cannot be inferred, because the formal properties were not varied systematically as independent variables (as in, e.g., Burleigh, Schoenherr, & Lacroix, 2013; Cheetham, Pavlovic, Jordan, Suter, & Jäncke, 2013; Cheetham, Suter, & Jäncke, 2011; Looser & Wheatley, 2010; MacDorman et al., 2009).”
Service robot implementation: a theoretical framework and research agenda (2019, background): “Some evidence suggests Japanese customers are more prone to accept robots (MacDorman et al., 2009), and this trend might extend to other Asian cultures (Rau, Li, & Li, 2009).”
Too real for comfort? Uncanny responses to computer generated faces (2009, background): “The presence of android robots or CG characters in society, and the mechanistic view of human behavior that they engender, challenges human uniqueness and consequently undermines our sense of personal and human identity (MacDorman et al., 2008).”
A Systematic Review of Attitudes, Anxiety, Acceptance, and Trust Towards Social Robots (2020, unknown): “[49] [46] [62] [108] [44] [47] [117] [130] [61] [87] [40] [112] [45] [103] [38] [39] [41] [131] [119] [37] [125] [27] [78] [48] [59] [17] [18] [53] [60] [7] [58] [50]”
Population Ageing and Socially Assistive Robots for Elderly Persons: The Importance of Sociodemographic Factors for User Acceptance (2012, background): “[67] Robots in general This study compares attitudes towards robots between faculty members of an US-American and a Japanese university Age, gender, culture, education, robot related experience USA, Japan”
Revisiting the uncanny valley theory: Developing and validating an alternative to the Godspeed indices (2010, background): “…uncanny valley typically manipulate as an independent variable a character's ''objective " humanness—the human photorealism of the character's morphology, skin texture, motion quality, or other formal property (MacDorman, Coram, Ho, & Patel, 2010; MacDorman et al., 2009; Seyama & Nagayama, 2007).”
The thing that should not be: predictive coding and the uncanny valley in perceiving human and humanoid robot actions (2011, background): “A total of eight actions per actor were used in the fMRI experiment, including both transitive (drinking water from a cup, picking up a piece of paper from a table, grasping a tube of hand lotion, wiping a table with a cloth) and intransitive actions [waving hand, nodding affirmatively, shaking head”
Exploring influencing variables for the acceptance of social robots (2013, result): “Similar to previous findings [23,60], our study also demonstrates that people from different countries vary in their robot related experiences.”
