What robots can teach us about intimacy: The reassuring effects of robot responsiveness to human disclosure
作者：
Highlights：
• We examined whether robot responsiveness affects human perceptions and behavior.
• A responsive robot elicited approach behavior and desire to use it under stress.
• Humans perceived a responsive robot as more competent, sociable, and responsive.
• Perceived responsiveness, in turn, improved self-perceptions during a stressful task.
• Humans may ascribe social intentions to robots and use them as a source of security.
