    A Naturalistic laboratory setup for real-world HRI studies
    (Association for Computing Machinery, 2024-03-11) Pekçetin, T.N.; Evsen, Şeyda; Pekçetin, S.; Karaduman, Tuvana Dilan; Acarturk, C.; Ürgen, Burcu Ayşen
    We present our novel naturalistic laboratory setup that facilitates the presentation of real-world live-action stimuli by physically present actors in a controlled manner. Participants observe liveaction stimuli through a screen, which is surrounded by curtains, akin to a theatre experience, and promptly evaluate them when the screen turns to its opaque mode. Additionally, we introduce key components of the setup, including curtains, an actor PC, a security camera, and a bell, and the insights we gained during the task development. This innovative setup holds promise for advancing real-world investigations in Human-Robot Interaction.

    Investigating mind perception in HRI through real-time implicit and explicit measurements
    (Association for Computing Machinery, 2024-03-11) Pekçetin, T.N.; Acarturk, C.; Ürgen, Burcu Ayşen
    Social robots have revolutionized social interaction and communication. Thisstudy explores our perception of robots, focusing on the factors infuencing evaluations of Agency and Experience - two dimensions of mind perception. Three distinct aspects of our research include: investigating perceiver determinants alongside perceived agents and their actions, utilizing a naturalistic setup featuring live actions of both human and robot actors, and employing a comprehensive approach with both implicit and explicit measurements. In-person data were collected from 160 individuals across four generations. Future steps involve data analysis and result discussion. This study reevaluates the determinants of mind perception using a real-time paradigm, intending to contribute to the ongoing debate and deepen our understanding of mind perception in HRI.
