For the aim at exploring factors determining negative attitudes toward robots, the study conducted an online questionnaire survey for a total of five hundreds of persons varying from 20’s to 60’s. The measurements consisted of the Japanese version of the Negative Attitudes toward Robots Scale, Critical Thinking Attitude Scale, and questionnaire items related to conservative attitudes and tendencies of preserving the status quo.
