About
Dr. Pawinee Pithayarungsarit is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), specializing in the social perception of robots and the psychometric validation of measurement tools. Her work critically examines how people attribute social qualities—such as warmth, competence, and discomfort—to robotic agents, directly shaping the design of more intuitive and acceptable robotic systems. Dr. Pithayarungsarit is best known for her systematic validation of the Robotic Social Attributes Scale (RoSAS), a widely used instrument in HRI. Her 2025 study, which has already garnered 2 citations, rigorously tested the scale’s three-factor structure, addressing prior ambiguous findings and providing a more reliable foundation for future research. This contribution is vital for ensuring that studies on robot social perception are built on robust, replicable metrics. By refining how researchers measure human responses to robots, Dr. Pithayarungsarit’s work has significant implications for the ethical and effective deployment of social robots in healthcare, education, and service settings. Her meticulous approach to validation underscores her commitment to methodological rigor, making her a key figure in advancing the scientific understanding of human-robot relationships.
