Perceived Human-Likeness of Social Robots
Cultural differences of a dual‐motivation model on health risk behaviour
This study investigated the cultural differences of a dual-motivation model of\nunhealthy risk behaviour in the Netherlands and Japan. Our model assumes dual\nmotivations involved in unhealthy eating behaviour, a behavioural willingness that\nleads behaviour unintentionally or subconsciously and a behavioural intention that\nleads planned or conscious behaviour. Participants consisted of 243 Dutch\nstudents and 321 Japanese students, who complete…
The Role of Trust in the Affective Evaluation of Novel Risks
There is general recognition that trust and affect are closely connected concepts. Usually, affect is modeled as an antecedent of trust. In the present research, we will argue that, particularly in new situations, trust can also evoke affect toward a risky object. Using structural equation modeling, support was found for the hypothesis that trust influences attitudes through this process. In the present study, we analyzed attitudes toward (carbon…
The role of negative associations and trust in risk perception of new hydrogen systems
In this study the moderating role of trust and negative affective associations on the inverse relationship between risk and benefit judgements is investigated. A survey (N = 406) was held in the Netherlands on the public perception of new hydrogen systems, during the time that a demonstration project with hydrogen buses was being undertaken. The data of the survey show that for the group of respondents with a negative evaluation of trust in actor…
Technology's Four Roles in Understanding Individuals' Conservation of Natural Resources
An overview is presented of four ways in which human beings and technology interact with respect to the conservation of natural resources. The four roles technology plays are: (1) as intermediary, (2) as amplifier, (3) as determinant, and (4) as promoter of environmentally significant behavior. A review of pertinent literature supports the conclusion that behavioral scientists can contribute considerably to reducing overall environmental impact b…
Energy conservation through product-integrated feedback
Improving the usability of research on the public perception of science and technology for policy-making
Studies on public reactions to science and technology may help policy makers who seek to involve the public in decision making on issues related to technological or scientific complexity. The paper seeks to understand how research on public reactions to science and technology can be used, addressing the following questions: What is good quality research? Which research offers data that are most useful for decision makers? An evaluation of the app…
Cognitive Structures in the Perception of Modern Technologies
Results of two survey studies (N = 197 and N = 2037) are presented. It is shown that attitudes of the public about "technology in general" are not stable and can easily be affected by how the subject is introduced. Eight areas of technology are compared on the basis of empirical relations in attitudinal judgments, in attribute ratings, in self- assigned importance weights of attributes, and in importance of reference groups and persons. On the ba…
