About

Yi-Ling Lin is a rising scholar at the intersection of human-robot interaction and communication technology, with a primary focus on how intimacy, proactivity, and communication approaches shape trust in human-humanoid relationships. Her most influential work, "The Effects of Intimacy and Proactivity on Trust in Human-Humanoid Robot Interaction" (2022, 32 citations), provides foundational insights into the psychological dynamics that govern user acceptance of social robots—a critical area as these machines become more embedded in daily life. Lin also explores the darker side of technological adoption in "Exploring the role of media richness to information disclosure" (2020, 4 citations), where she investigates how media characteristics influence users' willingness to share personal data, addressing pressing privacy concerns in an era of rapid tech change. Her 2021 study on communication approaches and intimacy further refines our understanding of how a robot’s interaction style can foster or hinder relational bonds. Though early in her career, Lin’s work is already shaping conversations in human-robot trust and privacy, marking her as a thoughtful voice in designing more ethical, effective social technologies.
