A dataset capturing anthropomorphic perceptions of Artificial Intelligence among university students in Ghana

This dataset captures both cognitive and perceptual anthropomorphism in this group, providing insights into how global narratives of AI human likeness translate into local perceptions of AI human likeness. By applying validated instruments, the cognitive anthropomorphism scale from Kumar et al. (2025) and the adapted Godspeed perceptual anthropomorphism subscale (Bartneck et al., 2009), this dataset offers a robust foundation for cross-cultural research, psychometric validation, and practical AI adoption strategy development.
