服务机器人的外观拟人化设计主要是为了获得消费者的认可和信赖,但当外观拟人化达到某一临界点时,外观拟人化设计将带来消极结果。在这一临界点尚未明确的背景下,本文基于拟人化理论探讨机器人拟人化与任务类型对消费者偏好的交互作用。三项实验表明,任务类型会引发消费者对服务机器人行为拟人化程度的预期。当高外观拟人化与高互动性任务所引发的高行为拟人化预期相匹配时,消费者更偏好高(vs.低)外观拟人化机器人执行高互动性服务任务,信赖感发挥中介作用;相反,当高外观拟人化与低互动性任务所引发的低行为拟人化预期不一致时,消费者对高(vs.低)外观拟人化机器人产生怪异感,更倾向于接受低(vs.高)外观拟人化的机器人执行低互动性服务任务。本研究不仅丰富了服务机器人拟人化研究情境,深化了拟人化理论,同时有助于管理者在不改变机器人拟人化程度的基础上发挥拟人化的积极作用并规避消极影响,对企业有效应用拟人化服务机器人具有重要启示。
