    In order to study short-term and long-term influence of communication robots in daily-life applications, it is necessary to develop psychological scales measuring mental states of users of robots and social trends on them. This paper focuses on negative attitudes and anxiety toward robots, and shows results obtained through development of scales measuring them.
