Evaluating the validity of a German translation of an uncanniness questionnaire
When researching on the acceptance of robots in Human-Robot-Interaction the Uncanny Valley needs to be considered. Reusable and standardized measures for it are essential. In this paper one such questionnaire got translated into German. The translated indices got evaluated (n=140) for reliability with Cronbach's alpha. Additionally the items were tested with an exploratory and a confirmatory factor analysis for problematic correlations. The results yield a good reliability for the translated indices and showed some items that need to be further checked.
