PAPER
Bartneck, C., Kulić, D., Croft, E., & Zoghbi, S. (2009). Measurement instruments for the anthropomorphism, animacy, likeability, perceived intelligence, and perceived safety of robots. International journal of social robotics, 1, 71-81.
Construct Summary
The authors report that the scale was developed to measure “users’ perception of service robots” (p. 71) and “take the often-used concepts of anthropomorphism, animacy, likeability, and perceived intelligence and perceived safety as starting points to propose a consistent set of five questionnaires for these concepts.” (p. 72)
Final Scale Items (24 total):
Items use a semantic differential format, with two opposing words (separated below by “/”) anchoring a 1–5 response scale.
Anthropomorphism: fake/natural, machinelike/humanlike, unconscious/conscious, artificial/lifelike, moving rigidly/moving elegantly
Animacy: dead/alive, stagnant/lively, mechanical/organic, artificial/lifelike, inert/interactive, apathetic/responsive
Likeability: unfriendly/friendly, unkind/kind, unpleasant/pleasant, awful/nice
Perceived Intelligence: incompetent/competent, ignorant/knowledgeable, irresponsible/responsible, unintelligent/intelligent, foolish/sensible
Perceived Safety: anxious/relaxed, agitated/calm, quiescient/surprised
Rating = 23%
| Check? | Guideline Item |
|---|---|
| ✓ | Is the construct defined? |
| ✓ | Does the final version of the items capture the construct as it has been defined by the authors? |
| ✖ | Is the item generation process discussed (e.g., literature review, Delphi method, crowd-sourcing)? |
| ✖ | Person to items 10:1 for the initial set of items? |
| ✖ | Did they perform an EFA, PCA, Rasch, or similar test to determine the item to factor relationship? |
| ✖ | Did they describe how they determined number of factors? |
| ✖ | Did they report the full initial set of items? |
| ✖ | Did they provide loadings (EFA) or item fits (Rasch) of all items? |
| ✖ | Is there a description of the item removal process (e.g., using infit/outfit, factor loading minimum value, or cross-loading values)? |
| ✓ | Did they list the final number of items included in the scale? |
| ✖ | Did they include a factor structure test (e.g., second EFA, CFA, DIF, test for unidimensionality when using Rasch, or similar)? |
| ✓ | Was a measure of reliability (e.g., Cronbach’s alpha, McDonalds Omega_h or Omega_t, Tarkkonen’s Rho) reported? |
| ✖ | Was a test of validity (e.g., predictive, concurrent, convergent, discriminant) reported? |
