About

Jiaxin Lin is an emerging researcher working at the intersection of human-robot interaction and social psychology, with a particular focus on how emotional responses toward artificial agents shape human behavior. Their most notable work, "Gratitude to Robot Promotes Prosocial Behavior" (2025), explores a fascinating and timely question: whether feelings of gratitude directed at robots can spill over into broader prosocial tendencies among humans. This research sits at the cutting edge of a rapidly evolving field, as societies increasingly integrate robotic systems into everyday life, raising profound questions about the psychological and ethical dimensions of human-machine relationships. With 3 citations already accumulated shortly after publication, the work has begun attracting attention from scholars interested in affective computing, behavioral science, and the social consequences of automation. Lin's contributions suggest that interactions with robots are not emotionally neutral — they carry real psychological weight that can meaningfully influence how people treat one another. As robotics continues to advance, research of this kind will be essential for understanding and designing technology that fosters rather than diminishes human connection.
