#### 3.2.2 Data Collection and General Demographics  
The questionnaire was prepared on Surveymonkey.com and delivered to the participants via online tools such as LinkedIn, Facebook, e-mail, and WhatsApp. Data were collected from the UK and Turkey in the same period. The study focused on experienced employees working in an office environment. In addition, the survey had a video that showed human-robot interactions in an office environment. The duration of the video was 2 min and 24 s.  
In the UK, the data were collected from December 2023 to January 2024. A total of 252 participants were recruited from Prolific and completed the survey via Survey-Monkey. Furthermore, 50 respondents volunteered to take part in the survey. A total of 302 participants provided data for the survey via the English version. In Turkey, the data were collected from October 2023 to January 2024. A total of 405 participants volunteered to be a part of the survey via the Turkish version.

Data from participants who were from outside of the UK or Turkey and had no office experience were removed. The participants who took less than 4 min to answer the survey were also deselected. Data with missing values and conflicts were removed as well. After data reduction, 273 data items were collected from the UK and 273 were collected from Turkey. The data reduction process is shown in Figure 11 from Appendix B.  
The respondents had different levels of work experience in office environments, providing a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing robot acceptance. Descriptive statistics are shown in Table 5.
