(S)he's Got the Look: Gender Stereotyping of Robots 1
Abstract
Previous research on gender effects in robots has largely ignored the role of facial cues. We fill this gap in the literature by experimentally investigating the effects of facial gender cues on stereotypical trait and application ascriptions to robots. As predicted, the short‐haired male robot was perceived as more agentic than was the long‐haired female robot, whereas the female robot was perceived as more communal than was the male counterpart. Analogously, stereotypically male tasks were perceived more suitable for the male robot, relative to the female robot, and vice versa. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that gender stereotypes, which typically bias social perceptions of humans, are even applied to robots. Implications for design‐related decisions are discussed.

“The tendency for individuals to judge and react to computers as they do to other people has been observed across different kinds of computerized agents, from embodied conversational agents to robots and text-only chatbots (Eyssel & Hegel, 2012; Krämer et al., 2012; Reeves & Nass, 1996).”

“This way, we would integrate aspects of the classic CASA paradigm (Nass & Moon, 2000), adapt it to anthropomorphic robots (Powers et al., 2005), and then extend it by researching additional social cues that might be used in inferring traits and functionalities from a robot’s physical design.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
