abstract = {Employing social robots in public spaces to support employees at work is a frequently discussed scenario. However, the success of robotic systems often depends on people’s willingness to initiate interactions with them. This makes understanding people’s usage decisions crucial, yet only limited research has been done on why people select publicly accessible social robots over alternatives, such as human employees. Amongst various factors, people’s diversity characteristics are likely to influence this decision, such as people’s locus of control when using technology and their self-efficacy in human-robot interaction. To investigate this choice for or against using a robot, a field study (N = 65) was conducted in two public libraries in the Ruhr area (Germany). Participants had to decide to interact with a robot or an employee and were subsequently asked to explain their decision via a questionnaire and an interview. Results reveal that the decision could neither be explained by people’s locus of control when using technology nor by other diversity characteristics. Furthermore, no significant differences in self-efficacy in human-robot interaction between users who chose the robot instead of the human employee were found. Finally, the qualitative findings point to general interest in robots and people’s differences in dealing with novelty as reasons for their choice. Overall, our findings offer insights into the decision for or against the usage of a robot, which are relevant to both, research and the deployment of social robots in public spaces.},

abstract = {Technological systems, especially social robots in public spaces, need to interact with a diverse audience as citizens differ, e.g., in gender, educations, beliefs, and experiences with different technologies. However, a wide array of technological systems do not yet have the ability to cater for this human diversity, as evidenced by cases of algorithmic bias (e.g., a decreased usability of various systems for people of colour (Hankerson et al., 2016). At the same time, an inclusion of all audiences is imperative when deploying new technologies to avoid creating a digital divide between citizens who are affected by algorithmic bias and those who are not, as such a digital divide might have dire consequences for public life (Singh & Singh, 2021). The inclusion of diverse user audiences is an interdisciplinary challenge that has, so far, been neglected. Through the lens of media psy- chology, it is especially relevant to examine the influence that individuals’ diversity characteristics might have on the experience of algorithmic bias, and how these biased experiences could force individuals into selfselection and consequently cause digital divide. Additionally, when facing situations of algorithmic bias, do humans detect discriminations and how do they attribute a failed interaction to the system or themselves?

Addressing these questions, focus groups with Ruhr area citizens are conducted. Participants’ diversity features and attitudes towards technological systems are captured and put into context of their individual experiences with algorithmic bias. Additionally, scenarios of algorithmic bias are be discussed to learn how citizens interpret these scenarios, to capture their attribution of blame and learn of possible coping strategies. Finally, participants are asked to picture a utopian and dystopian scenario in which a social robot is deployed in a public library to examine possible biases and fears of discrimination.},

abstract = {Virtual Reality (VR) has become an attractive method to explore psychological challenges, also in human robot interaction. Environments offer the opportunity to model any place and robot behavior in the VR that would otherwise be costly or impossible to set up in public spaces. Technological progress not only offers high realism but also advances in tracking user behavior, e.g. via eyetracking. However, public spaces are typically characterized by a high level of detail and interaction dynamics (e.g. bystanders, noises, overall busy scenes) that come with extensive modeling requirements. Researching human robot interaction in public spaces using a VR lab requires finding a balanced solution between coding effort and level of detail required to transfer the obtained results to real world interactions.},
