Abstract:

With the development of science and technology, robots have become increasingly integrated into people’s daily lives and work. This study developed the Public Robot Attitude Scale based on the Three-component Model of Attitudes encompassing cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions. The scale was then used to explore the role of personality in the public attitudes toward robots. In Study 1, 699 participants across the country were surveyed. Item analysis and exploratory factor analysis were conducted first, followed by confirmatory factor analysis and reliability and validity tests. The final Public Robot Attitude Scale consisted of three subscales-cognitive, affective, and behavioral-comprising 34 items in total, with good reliability and validity. In Study 2, 1567 participants nationwide were surveyed using the Public Robot Attitude Scale and the Big Five Personality Inventory to examine the role of personality in public attitudes toward robots. Results showed that conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness significantly positively influenced individuals’ cognitive attitudes toward robots. Neuroticism and extraversion significantly negatively affected individuals’ affective attitudes toward robots, while openness had a significant positive influence. Neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness significantly and positively influenced individuals’ behavioral attitudes toward robots. This research provides valuable insights into the relationship between personality traits and attitudes toward robots, offering a foundation for future studies and applications in human-robot interaction.

摘要：

本研究基于经典的三元态度理论，从认知、情感和行为三个角度编制民众机器人态度量表，并应用该量表探讨人格在民众对机器人的态度中的作用。研究1从全国抽取699人进行施测，先进行项目分析和探索性因子分析，然后进行验证性因子分析和信效度检验。最终民众机器人态度量表包含认知、情感和行为三个分量表，共34道题目，且信效度良好。研究2从全国抽取1567人，采用民众机器人态度量表和大五人格量表，探究人格在民众对机器人的态度中的作用。结果表明：严谨性、宜人性和开放性显著正向影响民众对机器人的认知态度；神经质和外向性显著负向影响民众对机器人的情感态度；开放性显著正向影响民众对机器人的情感态度；神经质、外向性和宜人性显著正向影响民众对机器人的行为态度。
