State which of the following statements is false. Measuring reaction-time in the interaction with the robot we can measure anthropomorphization implicity. We can compare this reaction-time with the reaction-time in the same interaction with a human, the more difference in the times, the most anthropomorphized the human perception. We can measure anthropomorphization by assesing the degree to which people attribute these key characteristics to robots: agency, human nature and uniqueness, emotions, intentions and free will. Anthropomorphization can be measured using the Godspeed Questionnaire Series in several languages. Anthropomorphization has been measured before under the terms mental state ascription/attribution, mind perception or theory of mind.

Your colleague Alex is developing a social robot and wants to test the user acceptance of her current prototype. She has to decide between usign the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) or the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Which statement from the following is wrong?. Both models are valid to use; it depends on what aspects of user acceptance Alex want to evaluate. The TAM is used for prototyping robots, whereas the UTAUT is used for evaluating robots once their design is complete. Alex should use the TAM because she's running a prototype. If the robot is designed for a social setting (e.g., to help out in a classroom), the UTAUT would be more appropriate. If Alex wants to test only the interaction between robot and user (i.e., ignoring context), she should use the TAM.

What does the model of dual processing refer to? Select one option from the following list: That the processing of the world around us can happen in an automatic or more deliberate way. That mind is attributed along the lines of uniquely human and human-nature traits. That the evaluation of agents depends on cognitive and affective factors. That mind is attributed along the lines of warmth and competence.

People's anthropomorphic judgements are triggered by human resemblance is: Behaviour and contingency. Appearance and agency. Contingency and appearance. Behaviour and appearance.

What are the basic dimensions of social judgments in social cognition? Select one or more options from the following list. Warmth and Competence. Agency and Experience. Human nature and uniqueness.

Ekman and Friesen proposed a set of six emotions. What was their purpose? Select one option from the following list: To define a set of negative emotions. To decribe the smallest shared set of emotions we all experience. To describe a list of facial expressions that are recognized across cultures. To define a set of basic emotions.

The OCC model of emotions distinguished valenced reactions to what? Select one or more options from the following list: The emotions of the human user. Consequences of events, aspects of objects and actions of agents. Aspects of agents. The robot's own emotional state.

Only certain study types allow you to establish causal relationship. Which studies allow you to establish a causal relationship? Select one or more options from the following list. Conversational analysis. Case studies. Observational studies. System studies. Controlled studies. Ethnographic studies.

There are two types of variables in scientific studies. Select one or more options from the following list: Measurements are independant variables. Dependent variables are aspects that the experimenter measures. Dependent variables are aspects that the experimenter manipulates. Independent variables are aspects that the experimenter does not manipulate. The experimenter manipulates measurements.

A researcher uses the significance level of p <= 0.5 to test the relationship between robot likability and 40 other measured items. In reality, not one of these 40 items is related to robot likability. On average, how many significant results would you expect?. Zero. Five. The question cannot be answered with the information given. Two.

What type of study offers the possibility of establishing correlation or even causation? Select one option from the following list. A quantitative study. A cross-selectional study. A qualitative study. A descriptive study.

In which experimental design do participants see all experimental conditions?. Between-subject design. Within-subject design. Longitudinal design.

What is a convenience sample? Select one option from the following list: A group selected based on participants' easy accessibility or proximity to the researcher, such as university students. A group of participants recruited online through a crowdsourcing service. A group of participants that you recruited in a convenience store. A statistical technique used to minimize bias in research studies.

Correlation and causation are important concepts in scientific study. Which statement is correct? Select one option from the following list. Causation is a synonym for correlation. Correlation causes causation. Correlation is a neccessary but insufficient criterion for causation. They are the same thing - if variable A is correlated to variable B, the it also causes B. Causation is a prerequisite for correlation.
