To resolve the lack of labor caused by the aging population, the social progress of working robots is expected. To realize their social progress, we should analyze and remove the elements of making consumers avoid their social progress. In this paper, we attempt to clarify the differences in consciousness about robots caused by the different backgrounds of home-economics, science, and robotics students, through a lecture and group discussion. From the result, we found that 1) home-economics students tended to have negative emotions such as fear and anxiousness about robots and 2) the lecture was useful for mitigating such negative emotions.
