Socially Assistive Robotics have been shown to have a great potential to support children with mental wellbeing-related issues. However, understanding how robots can be used to aid the measurement of these issues is still an open challenge. This paper presents a narrative review of child-robot interaction (cHRI) papers (IEEE ROMAN proceedings from 2016-2021 and keyword-based article search using Google Scholar) to investigate the open challenges and potential knowledge gaps in the evaluation of mental wellbeing or the assessment of factors affecting mental wellbeing in children. We exploited the SPIDER framework to search for the key elements for the inclusion of relevant studies. Findings from this work (10 screened papers in total) investigate the challenges in cHRI studies about mental wellbeing by categorising the current research in terms of robot-related factors (robot autonomy and type of robot), protocol-related factors (experiment purpose, tasks, participants and user sensing) and data related factors (analysis and findings). The main contribution of this work is to highlight the potential opportunities for cHRI researchers to carry out measurements concerning children's mental wellbeing.</p>","PeriodicalId":46494,"journal":{"name":"Interaction Studies","volume":" ","pages":"157-203"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7617098/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44681030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As sociosensitive and socioactive assistance systems advance, the question arises whether a machine’s\u0000 behavior should include considerations regarding social appropriateness. However, the concept of social appropriateness is\u0000 difficult to define, as it is determined by multiple aspects. Thus, to date, a unified perspective, encompassing and combining\u0000 multidisciplinary findings, is missing. When translating results from HHI to HMI, it remains unclear whether such insights into\u0000 the dynamics of social appropriateness between humans may in fact apply to sociosensitive and socioactive assistance systems. To\u0000 shed light on this matter, we propose the Five Factor Model of Social Appropriateness (FASA) which provides a multidisciplinary\u0000 perspective on the notion of social appropriateness and its implementation into technical systems. Finally, we offer reflections\u0000 on the applicability and ethics of the FASA Model, highlighting both strengths and limitations of the framework.","PeriodicalId":46494,"journal":{"name":"Interaction Studies","volume":"337 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41309726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Toward such a goal, we designed two personalities: one introverted with an empathic\u0000 and self-comparative interaction style, and the other extroverted with a provocative and other-comparative interaction style. To\u0000 evaluate the proposed technology acceptance model, we conducted an experiment (N = 209) at a public venue where\u0000 users were requested to play a game with the support of the TIAGo robot. Our findings show that the robot personality affects the\u0000 acceptance model and three relevant drivers: perceived enjoyment, perceived usefulness, and social influence. The extroverted\u0000 robot was perceived as more useful than the introverted, and participants who interacted with it were faster at solving the game.\u0000 On the other hand, the introverted robot was perceived as more enjoyable but less useful than the extroverted, and participants\u0000 who interacted with it made fewer mistakes. Taken together, these findings support the importance of designing proper robot\u0000 personalities in influencing users’ acceptance, featuring that a given style can elicit a different driver of acceptance.","PeriodicalId":46494,"journal":{"name":"Interaction Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47863087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to compare performance on an imitation task, as well as focus attention levels and the\u0000 presence of social behaviours of children with ASD and typically developing (TD) children during an imitation task under two\u0000 different conditions, with robots and human demonstrators. The results suggested that TD children did not imitate more than\u0000 children with ASD. Children with ASD did not imitate the robot more than they imitated a person, but they showed more focused\u0000 attention to robots and expressed more social behaviours in interaction with the robots. Behaviours that were significantly more\u0000 present in ASD children than in TD children included touching the robot in the robot demonstrator condition and focusing on the\u0000 robot in the person demonstrator condition. This implies a possible preference of children with ASD towards robots rather than\u0000 towards people.","PeriodicalId":46494,"journal":{"name":"Interaction Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47066451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
