Summary:To investigate the effects of robots on human self-assessment under the more general contexts of learning, this research focused on the evaluative feedback by robots. A psychological experiment was conducted by using a human-sized humanoid robot. The results found that the evaluative context tended to increase the subjects' negative responses regarding disclosure of their skills to the robot and the robot evaluating the skills, and the internal locus of control and the fear of negative evaluation positively influenced the subjects' responses to disclosing their skills to the robot. This paper discusses the implications on the use of robots in self-monitoring for healthcare and education.
