Description

The HRIES is a questionnaire developed by Ackermann et al. for measuring perceived robot anthropomorphism across sociability, animacy, agency, and disturbance dimensions.

Components

  • HRIES: Human-Robot Interaction Evaluation Scale with four anthropomorphism subdimensions: The HRIES is a questionnaire assessing the anthropomorphism of a robot using a multicomponent approach based on dehumanization theory and psychosocial theory. As the article states, "It measures the anthropomorphism of a robot using four dimensions: perceived sociability, animacy, agency, and disturbance." Each dimension is a four-item subscale (e.g., sociability: warmth, trustworthy, likable, friendly; disturbance: scary, creepy, uncanny, weird), and the study used it in post-test questionnaires in which students rated the tutor agent. The article reports it has repeatedly shown good psychometric reliability and structural validity. (Ackermann et al. (2025))
