  abstract  = {The number of people with cognitive impairments increases together with the aging population. Thus, social robots are being researched to aid relieve the nursing sector as well as to combat cognitive impairments. However, it raises concerns regarding how a social robot should relate to members of this group and what might be appropriate. In this thesis, research about the current state of social robots has been conducted and focus groups with people from the nursing and medical field were held. To verify the credibility of the results and the scenario developed, final user tests were conducted with representatives of the target group. When using a social robot in an interaction with persons who have cognitive disabilities, the robot should speak and behave more human-like and make use of its facial expressions, stressing empathy and responding to the person accordingly. Though the situation of interacting with a social robot may be more significant in future generations.},
