Human-robot interaction (HRI) research requires new techniques for understanding the social dynamics that occur atthe interface between humans and robots. Prior work has focused on incorporating the social cues and social signalsdistinction from the field of social signal processing and complementing this with recent advances in understandinghuman social cognition that specify two primary types of cognitive processes. A related account, stemming from SocialJudgment Theory (SJT), specifies a Lens Model for which cues can be interpreted as well as the task conditions thatwould induce either of the types of cognitive processes. Surprisingly, SJT-based research has not yet examined thesocial cue and signal relationship. We argue it provides an ideal path forward for such research and we integrate theserelated disciplines of study to provide a theoretically derived account that can be useful for both the design of humanhumanand HRI experiments focused on social interaction dynamics.
