Psychometric Indicators and Modification of the Negative Attitudes Towards Robots Scale (NARS)

The results of the modification of the Russian-language version of the Negative attitudes towards robots scale are presented. On a sample of 245 people it has been shown that the questionnaire allows to study the features of a negative attitude towards robots through three components: a negative attitude towards interaction with a robot, a negative attitude towards the social influence of robots, and a negative attitude towards emotions in interaction with a robot. Necessary parameters of the questionnaire were achieved: Cronbach's  for the scale of negative attitude to interaction with the robot is 0.788, for the scale of negative attitude to the social influence of robots is 0.739, and for the scale of negative attitude to emotions in interaction with a robot is 0.644. Validity of the modified scale has been confirmed by inverse correlations between emotional stability and all types of negative attitudes towards robots, as well as an inverse relationship between the openness of new experience and a negative attitude towards interaction with robots.
