Research on imitative action control indicate that participants have a strong preference to co-represent or imitate actions of their interaction partners - at least as long as these partners are (believed to be) biological agents or humans. For instance, observing a movement that is compatible (incompatible) with the to-be-performed action typically produces facilitation (interference) effects (Brass et al., 2001). These effects are modulated by animacy, meaning that the effects are stronger when observed movements stem from other humans, but are reduced or absent when observed movements stem from computers, robots, or nonbiological objects. Tentatively, this indicates that people have a certain reluctance to automatically imitate, co-represent, or utilize observed actions if these stem from nonhuman interaction partners. The present study explores whether this animacy effect is modulated by interindividual differences regarding attitudes towards (new) technologies. Accounts of technology acceptance would predict that tech-savvy individuals should be more willing to imitate robots (which implies reduced animacy effects). In turn, theories of anthropomorphization (Epley et al., 2007) would predict the opposite, as tech-savvy individuals have more elaborated knowledge about robots and thus should be less prone to attribute human-like features to robots, resulting in reduced imitation (which implies stronger animacy effects). I will present first data on this issue by studying automatic imitation effects for robots versus humans (manipulated within subjects) and measuring explicit attitudes towards robots and technological advances.
