Abstract
How can we increase acceptance and anthropomorphism of robots? In an experiment with N = 45 participants, we tested whether categorizing the humanoid robot NAO as an in-group member vs. an out-group member would result in more positive evaluations and higher levels of anthropomorphism of the robot NAO. Results fully support our hypotheses. Moreover, the present findings also indicate that sharing in-group membership with NAO led to greater willingness to interact with robots in general. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
