About
Sung Min Park is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the psychological mechanisms underlying trust between humans and social robots. Their most influential work, "How Humans Develop Trust in Communication Robots: A Phased Model Based on Interpersonal Trust" (2019, 7 citations), introduces a groundbreaking phased model that adapts principles of interpersonal trust from social psychology to explain how humans gradually build trust in robotic companions. This model not only maps the stages of trust development but also explores the moderating role of self-esteem, offering novel insights into individual differences in robot acceptance. Park's research bridges social psychology and robotics, providing a theoretical foundation for designing more trustworthy and socially adept robots. Their work is essential reading for students and researchers in human-robot interaction, social robotics, and trust dynamics, as it lays the groundwork for future empirical studies and practical applications in assistive and communication technologies.
