Abstract

Social robots are being increasingly developed for long-term interactions with children. However, there are few validated assessments for measuring young children's relationships with social robots. In this paper, we discuss a variety of relational assessments that could be used in this context. We present a pilot study of two assessments, the Inclusion of Other in Self task and a Social-Relational Interview, that we have adapted for use with children aged 3-7. We show that children can appropriately respond to these assessments and that both have high internal reliability.
