Abstract

The first part of the article is devoted to an overview of the main theoretical approaches in sociology to the study of the interaction between a robot and a person, with an emphasis on the barriers and fears of such interaction. Then the research methodology is described, which has become a factorial survey using the vignetting method, which is a fictional brief description of a certain object, individual or situation, which contains systematically varying experimental factors. Students of Moscow universities aged 18 and over took part in the study. According to the results of the study, the perception of human-robot interaction was mediated by a number of sociocultural phenomena and there was a tendency for higher assessments of the admissibility of a humanoid robot in all situations, but a contrast in assessments depending on the situation for an android robot was also noticeable. The study made it possible to comprehensively assess the importance of factors in the perception of neomorphic subjects, which are most often mentioned in thematic scientific publications.
