About
Fatima Albrehi’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction and social psychology, exploring how people perceive and respond to social robots in evaluative contexts. Her most-cited work, “Interpersonal impressions of a social robot versus human in the context of performance evaluations,” extends the Computers Are Social Actors paradigm by demonstrating that individuals apply human-to-human interaction scripts even when evaluated by a robot. Through a carefully designed between-subjects experiment, Albrehi revealed nuanced differences in how people form interpersonal impressions of robotic versus human evaluators, challenging assumptions about machine objectivity and social presence. With 43 citations, this study has become a foundational reference for scholars investigating robot credibility, social influence, and performance feedback in automated systems. Albrehi’s contributions are particularly significant for designing socially aware AI in workplaces and educational settings, where evaluative roles are increasingly automated. Her work not only advances theoretical frameworks in human-robot interaction but also offers practical insights for engineers and designers aiming to create robots that are both effective and socially acceptable.
