Polish Version of the Negative Attitude Toward Robots Scale (NARS-PL)

Abstract

This paper presents the Polish adaptation of the Negative Attitude toward Robots Scale (NARS-PL), primarily created by 213 individuals participated in the study (49 professionals and 164 nonprofessionals). The Polish version obtained satisfactory psychometric properties for a two-factor structure. Both subscales, the Negative Attitudes toward Robots that Display Human Traits (NARHT) and the Negative Attitudes toward Interactions with Robots (NATIR) possess good internal consistency. Effects of participant gender and robot's appearance were found. Theory consistent relationships between attitude toward robots, belief in human nature uniqueness and robots' human-likeness are discussed.
