Measurement of General Attitude Toward AI and its Relationship with AI Anxiety, Attitude Toward Robots and Belief in Human Nature Uniqueness: Polish Adaptation of the ATTARI-12 Questionnaire.

This study examines the relationships between general attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI), AI anxiety, attitudes toward robots, and the Belief in Human Nature Uniqueness (BHNU). Conducted by Jakub F. Juranek and Grzegorz Pochwatko from the Institute of Psychology at the Polish Academy of Sciences. The work is dedicated to the adaptation of the ATTARI-12 scale to Polish language (ATTARI-12-PL).

The ATTARI-12-PL demonstrated strong psychometric properties, including a single-factor structure and high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.94). This indicates that the scale is a reliable tool for measuring general attitudes toward AI. Key findings also indicate strong negative correlations between AI attitudes and negative attitudes toward robot interaction, moderate negative correlations with AI anxiety, and a mild negative association with BHNU. Gender differences were observed, with men demonstrating more positive attitudes toward AI.

This work contributes to the fields of human-computer interaction, technology acceptance, and robotics, offering a reliable tool for measuring AI attitudes in the Polish context. Researchers in psychology, cognitive science, and AI ethics will find may find it particularly valuable.
