Abstract
The willingness to use service robots plays a pivotal role in human–robot interaction. To establish a valid measure in the Chinese context, this study aimed to revisit the validity and reliability of the Service Robot Integration Willingness (SRIW) Scale among Chinese adults. A total of 955 participants were recruited to complete the Chinese version of the SRIW. Our findings revealed a four-factor model comprising 31 items, indicating a strong model fit. Furthermore, trust in automation correlated positively with the Chinese SRIW, while negative attitudes toward robots exhibited a significant inverse correlation, supportting the Chinese SRIW’s substantial criterion-related validity. In conclusion, this article introduces an updated Chinese SRIW, underscoring its efficacy in measuring the readiness to adopt service robots in China.
期刊介绍:
Social Robotics is the study of robots that are able to interact and communicate among themselves, with humans, and with the environment, within the social and cultural structure attached to its role. The journal covers a broad spectrum of topics related to the latest technologies, new research results and developments in the area of social robotics on all levels, from developments in core enabling technologies to system integration, aesthetic design, applications and social implications. It provides a platform for like-minded researchers to present their findings and latest developments in social robotics, covering relevant advances in engineering, computing, arts and social sciences.
The journal publishes original, peer reviewed articles and contributions on innovative ideas and concepts, new discoveries and improvements, as well as novel applications, by leading researchers and developers regarding the latest fundamental advances in the core technologies that form the backbone of social robotics, distinguished developmental projects in the area, as well as seminal works in aesthetic design, ethics and philosophy, studies on social impact and influence, pertaining to social robotics.
