马库斯和北山认为，西方中心文化偏向于独立者，而不是相互依存的自我。我们认为，这导致了一种偏见，即社交机器人成为助手、同伴、副手和一对一的照顾者。因此，大多数商业社交机器人中的社交是与单一用户的模拟社交互动，是不必要互动的回音室，不可避免地创造出阻碍而不是鼓励社交互动的系统。由此产生的机器人跟班、唯唯诺诺的人和假装的朋友几乎没有长期用途。相反，我们认为，正是作为调解人、促进者以及在人类社区和团体内工作，才为社交机器人提供了真正的机会。
Markus and Kitayama suggests Western centric culture has a bias to the independent rather than the interdependence self. We argue that this has resulted in a bias for social robots to be assistants, companions, wing-men and one-to-one carers. Thus, the social in most commercial social robots is a simulated social interaction with a single user, an echo chamber of unnecessary interaction that inevitability creates systems that obstruct social interaction rather than encourage it. The resulting robot flunkies, yes-men and pretend friends have little long term utility. In contrast, we argue that rather it is as mediators, facilitators and working within human communities and groups that offers the real opportunity for social robots.
