About

Marlot Prinse is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of science communication, media studies, and public perceptions of emerging technologies. Her primary research areas include social robotics, cross-cultural comparisons of technology acceptance, and the role of media in shaping public attitudes toward innovation. Prinse’s most notable contribution is her content analysis of newspaper coverage of social robots, comparing Eastern and Western perspectives. Her study, “Social Robotics in Eastern and Western Newspapers: China and (Even) Japan are Optimistic” (2019), examined 120 articles from The Guardian, New York Times, China Daily, and The Japan Times. This work challenges simplistic East-West dichotomies, revealing that while both China and Japan exhibit optimism, Western coverage is more cautious and critical. With 5 citations, this paper has sparked discussions on how cultural narratives influence technological adoption. Prinse’s research is valuable for students and scholars interested in science communication, human-robot interaction, and the sociocultural dimensions of technology. Her work underscores the importance of nuanced, media-aware approaches to understanding global attitudes toward robotics.
