About
Junzhao Ma is a rising scholar in human-robot interaction, with a focused research agenda exploring the psychological and social dimensions of robotic anthropomorphism. His work critically examines how the design and intelligence of service robots influence human co-workers, a contribution that sits at the intersection of technology acceptance and organizational behavior. Ma’s most cited paper (2023, 64 citations) experimentally demonstrates that the level of a robot’s anthropomorphism and intelligence can significantly shape human collaboration and trust in workplace settings. He has also ventured into the ethically charged domain of sex robots, investigating the psychological mechanisms—such as attachment styles and social norms—that drive people’s receptiveness to intimate robotic companions (2022, 22 citations). This dual focus on both professional and personal human-robot relationships marks Ma as a versatile and forward-thinking researcher. His work is particularly notable for its rigorous experimental design and its relevance to the rapid deployment of social robots in real-world contexts, offering actionable insights for designers and policymakers.
