The Claim
Trust repair strategies in human-robot interaction have a marginal overall impact with a small effect size across studies, indicating limited success in fully restoring trust after breaches, even when employing the most effective approaches.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Even the best ways we have to fix trust between people and robots don't work very well — trust doesn't fully come back after it's broken.

The overall impact of trust repair strategies in human-robot interaction is marginal, with a small effect size observed across studies, indicating that current methods have limited success in fully restoring trust after breaches, even when using the most effective approaches.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Repairing Trust in Robots?: A Meta-analysis of HRI Trust Repair Studies with a No-Repair Condition
The study looked at how well robots can regain people's trust after making a mistake, and found that current methods only help a little bit — which matches the claim.
