contents This paper describes an experimental evaluation aimed at detecting the users' perception of the robot's empathic abilities during a conversation. The results have been then analyzed to search for a possible relationship between the perceived empathy and the attribution of mental states to the robot, namely the user's perception of the robot's mental qualities as compared to humans. The involved sample consisted of 68 subjects, including 34 adults and 34 between teenagers and children. By conducting the experiment with both adult and child participants, make possible to compare the results obtained from each group and identify any differences in perception between the various age groups.
