About
Phuoc Thai is a rising scholar at the intersection of human-robot interaction, social psychology, and technology adoption. Their research centers on understanding how personality dynamics—both human and artificial—shape our relationships with social robots, particularly through the lens of parasocial interaction. Thai’s most cited work, “User and Robot Personality Interactions in Parasocial Presence and Intention to Use Social Robots” (2022), makes a foundational contribution by demonstrating that the perceived personality of a robot interacts with a user’s own personality to influence feelings of parasocial presence and para-friendship, which in turn drive continued use intentions. This insight is critical for designing more engaging and personalized robotic companions. While early in their career, Thai’s work has already garnered attention, with this key paper accumulating 2 citations, signaling growing interest among peers. By bridging social robotics with established communication theories, Thai is helping to chart a path toward more intuitive, human-centered technology, making their research essential reading for anyone exploring the future of social AI and human-machine relationships.
