About
Janine Sosna is a researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and social psychology, whose work explores how social dynamics shape trust in autonomous systems. Her most-cited paper, "Social Conformity Effects on Trust in Simulation-Based Human-Robot Interaction" (2018, 18 citations), investigates the interplay between communication and social conformity in shaping human trust toward robots. This work is notable for bridging the gap between traditional social influence theories and emerging human-robot relationships, demonstrating that even in simulated environments, peer pressure and social norms can significantly alter how individuals perceive and rely on robotic agents. By highlighting the co-acting influences of social context and technological design, Sosna’s research provides critical insights for developing more adaptive and trustworthy autonomous systems. Her contributions are particularly valuable for fields like collaborative robotics, where understanding human biases is essential for effective teamwork. With a growing citation footprint, Sosna is establishing herself as a thoughtful voice in the study of trust, conformity, and the social dimensions of human-robot interaction.
