A questionnaire was presented to Dutch, Chinese, German, Mexican, American (USA) and Japanese participants based on the Negative Attitude towards Robots Scale (NARS). The American participants were least negative towards robots, while the Mexican were most negative. Against our expectation, the Japanese participants did not have a particularly positive attitude towards robots.enConference Contributions - Published2019-06-12Field of Research::08 - Information and Computing Sciences::0801 - Artificial Intelligence and Image Processing::080101 - Adaptive Agents and Intelligent RoboticsField of Research::08 - Information and Computing Sciences::0806 - Information Systems::080602 - Computer-Human InteractionField of Research::16 - Studies in Human Society::1601 - Anthropology::160104 - Social and Cultural Anthropologyhttps://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.22507.34085
