With the introduction of socially assistive robots in many avenues of children’s lives, it is becoming increasingly vital to understand how children’s perceptions of the robot affect their evaluation and interaction. The main objective of this work is to investigate how children’s anxiety towards robots has influenced their perceptions of their interaction with a Nao robot. We collected data from 37 children (8 - 13 years old) who interacted, for about 30-45 minutes, with the robot which delivered initial pleasantries and four different tasks to help assess their mental wellbeing in a lab setting. We collected audio-visual recordings of the interaction. At the end of the session, we asked children to answer three self-report questionnaires to evaluate: the robot’s role as a confidante, the anxiety towards the robot, and the children’s perception of the robot’s behaviour and capabilities. Based on their responses to the robot’s anxiety questionnaire, children were divided into two categories: “low anxiety” (anxiety score <= median anxiety score) and “high anxiety” (anxiety score> median anxiety score). Our results show that i) most children (89.2%) irrespective of their wellbeing, experience some degree of anxiety towards the robot, ii) children’s anxiety has influenced their willingness to participate in the initial pleasantries conducted by the robot, and iii) children’s anxiety has also affected their evaluations of the robot as a confidante and their perceptions of the robot’s behaviour and capabilities. Findings from this work have significant implications for designing effective and successful robot-led initiatives for assessing mental wellbeing in children, by taking into account their mindsets and dispositions.
