About
Anja Strobel is a researcher specializing in the social perception of embodied digital technologies (EDTs), with a particular focus on how humans perceive and interact with robots, prosthetic users, and telepresence systems in both public and professional environments. Her work sits at a compelling intersection of social psychology, human-robot interaction, and legal perception, addressing urgent questions about how emerging technologies can be meaningfully integrated into hybrid societies. Among her most significant contributions is the development and validation of the Social Perception of Robots Scale (SPRS), a dedicated psychometric instrument designed to measure attitudes and perceptions critical for successful human-robot interaction. Her research consistently examines key dimensions such as anthropomorphism, technicality, trustworthiness, and gender attribution in shaping how people relate to robotic and bionic entities. Her most cited work (27 citations) explores both social and legal frameworks for accepting robots and prosthesis users as legitimate "co-workers," a question with profound practical implications. More recently, Strobel has expanded her inquiry into artificial morality, investigating how people respond differently to moral decisions made by human versus artificial agents. Collectively accumulating over 75 citations within just a few years, her research is rapidly establishing a foundational framework for understanding the psychological and societal dimensions of our increasingly technology-populated world.
