ABSTRACT
This paper investigated the influence of a social robot which discloses a backstory of its experiences on the development of trust in human-robot interaction with respect to the nature of backstories. We compared three cases of backstories, a happy backstory, a sorrowful backstory and no backstory told by the robot during interaction with participants. The results indicated that the robot disclosing a happy backstory provided the participants with higher impression of trustworthiness in general and affective trust compared to the robot telling no backstory. However, the robot with sorrowful backstory was not evaluated to lead to higher trustworthiness than the robot with no backstory. Furthermore, the happy backstory condition scored higher than the sorrowful backstory condition in general, affective and cognitive trust. Thus, participants rated a happy backstory tied to positive self-disclosed emotion, to be significantly more influential in human-robot trust.

Social Interaction Moderates Human-Robot Trust-Reliance Relationship and Improves Stress Coping
HRI '16: The Eleventh ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot InteractionPrevious work with non-social human-robot interaction has found no links between trust and reliance (Desai et al., 2013). The current study tested the question: Can social interactions moderate trust-reliance relationship? Human-robot interactions may ...
User Experience in Social Human-Robot Interaction
Socially interactive robots are expected to have an increasing importance in human society. For social robots to provide long-term added value to people's lives, it is of major importance to stress the need for positive user experience UX of such ...
Human-Robot Trust: Just a Button Press Away
HRI '17: Proceedings of the Companion of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionMany of the benefits promised by human-robot interaction require successful continued interaction between a human and a robot; trust is a key component of such interaction. We investigate whether having a person "n the loop" with a robot---i.e., the ...
