“…For this, we drew on the person-level factors from the intersectional design framework represented in the design cards created by Jones and colleagues [37] and expanded upon it based on recent developments within HCI, HRI, and adjacent spaces. Our framework thus includes: sex alongside gender [37,40]; ethnicity alongside race [14,35,37]; sexuality [37] as a factor of social identity linked to sex and gender, but also with implications for family configuration [37]; disability [37,41,42], which overlaps with but is distinct from the body [42,43]; ideology beyond political affiliation and nationlevel governance structures [44]; and domain expertise [45], particularly engineering, computer science, informatics, and related fields for HRI research.…”

Critical voices within and beyond the scientific community have pointed to a grave matter of concern regarding who is included in research and who is not. Subsequent investigations have revealed an extensive form of sampling bias across a broad range of disciplines that conduct human subjects research called “WEIRD”: Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, and Democratic. Recent work has indicated that this pattern exists within human–computer interaction (HCI) research, as well. How then does human–robot interaction (HRI) fare? And could there be other patterns of sampling bias at play, perhaps those especially relevant to this field of study? We conducted a systematic review of the premier ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (2006–2022) to discover whether and how WEIRD HRI research is. Importantly, we expanded our purview to other factors of representation highlighted by critical work on inclusion and intersectionality as potentially underreported, overlooked, and even marginalized factors of human diversity. Findings from 827 studies across 749 papers confirm that participants in HRI research also tend to be drawn from WEIRD populations. Moreover, we find evidence of limited, obscured, and possible misrepresentation in participant sampling and reporting along key axes of diversity: sex and gender, race and ethnicity, age, sexuality and family configuration, disability, body type, ideology, and domain expertise. We discuss methodological and ethical implications for recruitment, analysis, and reporting, as well as the significance for HRI as a base of knowledge.

“…Initiatives in the field of HCI and especially at CHI have highlighted and pressed for recognition and engagement on matters of diversity, equity, and inclusion beyond gender. Could postcolonial masculinities complement the work this review has found on rugged masculinities [146,185], for example? This also means taking an intersectional lens to gender and in this case masculinities.…”

“…• Alternative masculinities, a pluralistic concept where "men are able to express their emotions, reject violence, and champion fighting all forms of oppression of women and other men" ... a "'softer' form of masculinity" [168,211], referencing Pascoe and Bridges [152]. • Rugged masculinity, described as "taming 'virgin' nature, the problems of habitation by indigenous peoples, and the issues of the supernatural associated with the encounter with wilderness" ... "'rugged individualism' culture in computing" [146,185], referencing Dourish [53], Ensmenger [57], Fox and Tang [65], and Salter and Blodgett [172].…”

Gender is a hot topic in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). Work has run the gamut, from assessing how we embed gender in our computational creations to correcting systemic sexism, online and off. While gender is often framed around women and femininities, we must recognize the genderful nature of humanity, acknowledge the evasiveness of men and masculinities, and avoid burdening women and genderful folk as the central actors and targets of change. Indeed, critical voices have called for a shift in focus to masculinities, not only in terms of privilege, power, and patriarchal harms, but also participation, plurality, and transformation. To this end, I present a 30-year history of masculinities in HCI work through a scoping review of 126 papers published to the ACM Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) conference proceedings. I offer a primer and agenda grounded in the CHI and extant literatures to direct future work.
