作者：
Highlights：
• According to the uncanny valley hypothesis android robots likely evoke eeriness.
• We predicted that science fiction reduces the eeriness of androids.
• An experiment was conducted that involved real-life human–android interactions.
• A fictional story (but not non-fictional information) improved perceptions.
• Increases in perceived human-likeness mediated the effect on eerieness.
