HRI Carryover Effect: Can Interactions With Robots Influence Subsequent Human-Human Interactions?
summary
Fifty-two participants play a ball‑toss game with two non‑humanoid robots using the Robotic Ostracism Paradigm where toss ratios are preprogrammed (10% Exclusion condition vs 33% Inclusion condition). Afterward a robot‑free interview measures seating orientation, distance, and willingness to complete an extra questionnaire. Exclusion produces closer seating (beside and reduced distance) and higher compliance; participants remain unaware of the robot interaction causing these prosocial carryover effects.
