Robotic Social Attributes Scale
Also known as: RoSAS, RoSAS-SF, Robotic Social Attributes Scale Short Form
A validated psychometric instrument developed by Carpinella et al. (2017) that measures how people perceive the social attributes of a robot along three subscales: Warmth (how likable, friendly, and companionable the robot feels), Competence (how capable, knowledgeable, and reliable it appears), and Discomfort (how eerie, uncanny, or unsettling it is to interact with). A short form (RoSAS-SF) exists for brief evaluations. In accessibility and assistive-robotics research, RoSAS is used alongside task-performance and workload measures to check whether robot-mediated assistance is socially acceptable to disabled users, not merely functionally effective.
