9 | 2 | Gunnar Húni Björnsson | Roboticist Masahiro Mori developed a theory called The Uncanny Valley, which applies to the development of pediophobia. According to the theory, the more something looks like a human being, the more likable it is, until it reaches a point where it takes a sudden drop because it feels uncomfortable and uncanny. for some people, dolls may lie in this uncanny valley and thus cause distress and fear. |
