| Research Abstract |
This study investigatse whether the SEM model (Self-evaluation maintenance model) can be applied in HRI in relation to psychological safety of a robot as a concept of well-being. The SEM model deals with social comparisons, and predicts the cognitive mechanism that works to enhance or maintain the relative goodness of the self. The results obtained from 139 participants show that the higher self-relevance of a task is related to a lower evaluation of the robot. Simultaneously, a higher evaluation of performance relates to higher safety.
Anthropomorphism is one of important factors in social comparison. In Japanese sample, the perspectives of anthropomorphism were divided into positive and negative factors in contrast to Western data.
