## Abstract | ||
|
||
In a society where gender biases persist, technological advancements are not immune to perpetuating existing prejudices against women. While initial research was | ||
able to show the potential of social robots to counter gender stereotypes, this study | ||
seeks to investigate their role in addressing sexist remarks within group settings. | ||
Using a mixed methods laboratory approach, the study examined how people react | ||
when the social robot Pepper intervenes in sexist encounters. Participants (N = | ||
68) engaged in a game scenario where a sexist comment was uttered, prompting | ||
Pepper to intervene in one of three ways: 1. avoidant, 2. argumentative, or 3. | ||
morally judgmental. Participants were assigned roles as either the target of the | ||
comment or the bystander. Results revealed that exposure to sexist remarks elicited | ||
negative emotions among participants. Participants who were the target of the | ||
sexist comment rated the sexist confederate significantly worse than both the robot | ||
and the bystander. This demonstrates that actively engaging in group conflicts and | ||
intervening may enhance individuals’ perceptions of Pepper’s suitability as a team | ||
member, potentially reaching human ratings. | ||
|
||
Furthermore, the study found that an avoidant response from Pepper may not effectively address the sexist nature of the comment, while a confrontational approach | ||
showed promise. There are tendencies that the morally judgmental response risks | ||
escalating conflicts. Further research is necessary to verify these findings. | ||
|
||
In conclusion, this study demonstrates the potential of social robots to intervene | ||
in sexist encounters and prompt reflection on individual reactions. These findings | ||
underscore the importance of exploring innovative approaches to interventions in | ||
interpersonal interactions through morally competent robots |
