摘要

随着机器人越来越多地扮演社会角色（如助手、同伴），拟人化（即对实体具有人类特征的认知）在人机交互（HRI）中发挥着重要作用。然而，目前在HRI中对拟人化的概念化还没有充分区分拟人化的前兆、后果和维度。在先前研究的基础上，我们将拟人化概念化为人类认知的一种形式，其核心是将人类的心理能力归因于机器人。因此，与机器人的形状和运动相关的感知是拟人化的潜在前兆，而将人格和道德价值归因于机器人则是拟人主义的潜在后果。我们认为多维概念化最能反映拟人化的概念方面，基于Wellman（1990）的心理理论（ToM）框架，我们提出HRI中的拟人化包括将思维、感觉、感知、渴望和选择归因于机器人。最后，我们讨论了我们的概念化在HRI研究中的应用。

Anthropomorphism in human–robot interactions: a multidimensional conceptualization

With robots increasingly assuming social roles (e.g., assistants, companions), anthropomorphism (i.e., the cognition that an entity possesses human characteristics) plays a prominent role in human–robot interactions (HRI). However, current conceptualizations of anthropomorphism in HRI have not adequately distinguished between precursors, consequences, and dimensions of anthropomorphism. Building and elaborating on previous research, we conceptualize anthropomorphism as a form of human cognition, which centers upon the attribution of human mental capacities to a robot. Accordingly, perceptions related to a robot’s shape and movement are potential precursors of anthropomorphism, while attributions of personality and moral value to a robot are potential consequences of anthropomorphism. Arguing that multidimensional conceptualizations best reflect the conceptual facets of anthropomorphism, we propose, based on Wellman’s (1990) Theory-of-Mind (ToM) framework, that anthropomorphism in HRI consists of attributing thinking, feeling, perceiving, desiring, and choosing to a robot. We conclude by discussing applications of our conceptualization in HRI research.

期刊介绍： Communication Theory is an international forum publishing high quality, original research into the theoretical development of communication from across a wide array of disciplines, such as communication studies, sociology, psychology, political science, cultural and gender studies, philosophy, linguistics, and literature. A journal of the International Communication Association, Communication Theory especially welcomes work in the following areas of research, all of them components of ICA: Communication and Technology, Communication Law and Policy, Ethnicity and Race in Communication, Feminist Scholarship, Global Communication and Social Change, Health Communication, Information Systems, Instructional/Developmental Communication, Intercultural Communication, Interpersonal Communication, Journalism Studies, Language and Social Interaction, Mass Communication, Organizational Communication, Philosophy of Communication, Political Communication, Popular Communication, Public Relations, Visual Communication Studies, Children, Adolescents and the Media, Communication History, Game Studies, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Studies, and Intergroup Communication. The journal aims to be inclusive in theoretical approaches insofar as these pertain to communication theory.
