Is a robot that shares explicitly its emotions with users more believable and friendly? In a previous study addressing this question, results suggested that an emotion sharing feature in a robot may have negative effects in the perception of that robot. Here, we address the same question but also take into account the “competence” of a robot executing a task, to understand if some kind of interaction occurs.
