Popis: Gender is increasingly being explored as a social characteristic of robots perceived by people. Perceptions of robot gender have been linked to features of the voice and body of the robot. People are more likely to perceive gender in robots with features that express a degree of humanlikeness (anthropomorphism). Additionally, perceptions of the robot's age appear to influence perceptions of the robot's gender. Yet, most research does not assess these perceptions (such as through manipulation checks), and those that do tend to rely on limited models of gender based on human models, especially the gender binary (feminine or masculine). In response, we conducted a categorization study wherein we provided gender-expansive response options for rating eight robots ranging across four levels of anthropomorphism. We also captured perceived age. We provide our methods and hypotheses in this registration after data collection but before data analysis.
