Given that perceived moral status is key to how people accept others, past scholarship has investigated the role of moral agency in human-robot interaction. However, little empirical work attends to dynamics of moral patiency—the extent to which robots are seen as deserving moral consideration. This investigation addresses two questions: (1) What is the relationship between perceived moral agency (PMA) and perceived moral patiency (PMP) when robots are positioned as moral patients and (2) (how) is PMP associated with trust in a robot? An online experiment explored these questions as people reacted to a robot being subjected to humans’ (im)moral actions. Findings show that PMP is positively linked to PMA (against the moral typecasting hypothesis) and trust, robust to context/valence.
