Abstract
Social robots have revolutionized social interaction and communication. This study explores our perception of robots, focusing on the factors influencing evaluations of Agency and Experience - two dimensions of mind perception. Three distinct aspects of our research include: investigating perceiver determinants alongside perceived agents and their actions, utilizing a naturalistic setup featuring live actions of both human and robot actors, and employing a comprehensive approach with both implicit and explicit measurements. In-person data were collected from 160 individuals across four generations. Future steps involve data analysis and result discussion. This study reevaluates the determinants of mind perception using a real-time paradigm, intending to contribute to the ongoing debate and deepen our understanding of mind perception in HRI.
