The Role of Name, Origin, and Voice Accent in a Robot's Ethnic Identity.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper presents the results of an experiment that was designed to explore whether users assigned an ethnic identity to the Misty II robot based on the robot's voice accent, place of origin, and given name. To explore this topic a 2 × 3 within subject study was run which consisted of a humanoid robot speaking with a male or female gendered voice and using three different voice accents (Chinese, American, Mexican). Using participants who identified as American, the results indicated that users were able to identify the gender and ethnic identity of the Misty II robot with a high degree of accuracy based on a minimum set of social cues. However, the version of Misty II presenting with an American ethnicity was more accurately identified than a robot presenting with cues signaling a Mexican or Chinese ethnicity. Implications of the results for the design of human-robot interfaces are discussed.
