These questions are drawn from an online study of Americans and Asian Indians conducted by Tsui, Desai, Yanco, Cramer, and Kemper (2010) into people’s attitudes toward telepresence robots. Robots are telepresence when they cannot be moved around without direct human control. To obtain your results, first reverse the scoring for the final three items (1 = 5, 2 = 4, 3 = 3, 4 = 2, 5 = 1) and then total Items 1 through 6, 7 through 11, and 12 through 14 to get three totals. Finally, divide each by the number of questions to obtain your average response. Your average for Items 1 through 6 reflects your attitude towards interacting with robots, your average for Items 7 through 11 indicates how you would feel about the future ability of robots to socially influence people, and the average for Items 12 through 14 indicates how you think you’d feel if robots could experience emotions. See how your attitudes compare to those of your classmates. Higher numbers mean more positive views of telepresence robots.
