About

Stefan Larsen is a leading figure in the psychometrics of human-robot interaction, dedicated to understanding how people perceive social robots. His primary research focus is the development and validation of standardized scales for measuring human attitudes toward these technologies. Larsen’s most significant contribution is the creation of the "Attitudes towards Social Robots" (ASOR) scale, a systematic tool designed to assess attitudinal stances. His foundational work, "Towards a new scale for assessing attitudes towards social robots" (2020), has garnered 30 citations, establishing a benchmark for the field. This builds on his earlier development of the ASOR-5 (2016), a generic questionnaire aimed at providing consistent, validated methods for researchers. By addressing the critical need for reliable assessment tools in a rapidly expanding field, Larsen’s work enables more rigorous cross-study comparisons. His contributions are essential for anyone studying the social acceptance of robotics, ensuring that future research is built on a solid, empirical foundation.
