Children aged 5, 7, and 9 years were required to attribute mental states to the NAO robot, which presents more human-like characteristics compared to the Robovie robot, whose physical features look more mechanical. The present study aimed to investigate the attribution of mental states (AMS) in children aged 5-9 years to two humanoid robots, NAO and Robovie, varying in their anthropomorphic physical features (DiSalvo et al., 2002; Duffy, 2003) . Interestingly, this result supports findings from a previous study (Di Dio et al., 2018) that compared 6-year-old children's mental state attribution to different entities (human, dog, robot, and God) . Overall, our results suggest that the assessment of HSRs in terms of mental states attribution may represent a useful measure for studying the effect of different robots' design for children. ./cache/cord-034080-4xav0u2u.txt ./txt/cord-034080-4xav0u2u.txt
