IS THE BELIEF THAT HUMAN NATURE IS GOOD OR EVIL RELATED TO THE STANCE ON THE POSSIBLE SOCIAL INFLUENCE OF ROBOTS?

Abstract

One of the topics focused on by robotic technology manufacturers is to integrate robots into many social environments, especially in the workplaces. To achieve this integration, the human side of the human-robot interaction must be understood carefully. Thus, an individual level examination of how people look at the world through a cultural lens may help to understand the interaction with robots that are supposed to become part of society. In the line of this logic, 171 psychology students were reached through an online survey. The results support a positive relationship between respondents' perception that human nature is evil and negative attitude towards robots’ social influence. However, according to the results of the hierarchical regression analysis, the hopelessness of respondents does not affect this relationship. To adapt these technologies to the workplace, and to ensure efficiency, the organization may need to learn about what kind of cultural lens its employees look at the world in general.
