Empathy: a motivated account. (2014, background): “…secondary emotions such as hope and jealousy or uniquely human internal states (Cuddy, Rock, & Norton, 2007; Epley et al., 2013; Harris & Fiske, 2006; Haslam & Loughnan, 2014; Leyens et al., 2000; Merola & McGlone, 2011; Vaes, Paladino, Castelli, Leyens, & Giovanazzi, 2003; Waytz et al., 2010).”
To Err Is Human(-oid): How Do Consumers React to Robot Service Failure and Recovery? (2020, background): “Accordingly, experience and agency perceptions map well on to warmth and competence dimensions of social cognition (K. Gray and Wegner 2010; Waytz et al. 2010).”
Minds without spines: Evolutionarily inclusive animal ethics (2020, background): “Disgust can cause people to fail to attribute (or to underattribute) not only intentional cognitive states but also experiential qualities such as pain perception (Waytz et al. 2010), leading to ‘moral disengagement’ (Bandura 2002).”
Blame the Bot: Anthropomorphism and Anger in Customer–Chatbot Interactions (2021, background): “…researchers suggest that one reason behind the “ uncanny valley ” (i.e., the tendency for a robot to elicit negative emotional reactions when it closely resembles a human; Mori 1970) is because robots do not perform in the agentic manner that their human resemblance would imply (Waytz et al. 2010).”
Parasocial interactions with real and virtual influencers: The role of perceived similarity and human-likeness (2022, background): “In turn, these reduced attributions of mental prowess seem to affect how people approach the respective entities (e.g. Waytz et al., 2010; Yam et al., 2021), for instance, resulting in less empathy and adapted moral expectations.”
Effects of personification and anthropomorphic tendency on destination attitude and travel intentions (2017, background): “This is supported by earlier research that finds that anthropomorphism varies by individual (Waytz et al., 2010a).”
The mind behind anthropomorphic thinking: attribution of mental states to other species (2015, background): “…already proposed that mind attribution is based on the same processes engaged in social cognition (Epley et al., 2007; Kwan, Gosling, & John, 2008; Waytz et al., 2010), only a few systematic studies have identified the specific processes, triggers and factors influencing these attributions…”
