(2006): Reconceptualizing knowledge accumulation in sociology. In: The American Sociologist 37 (2), S. 57-66. DOI: 10.1007/s12108-006-1005-9
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s12108-006-1005-9 Abstract: Let me begin with a simple paradox. On the one hand, we have today descriptive data on social life at a level undreamed of a hundred years ago. Sociological data-gathering provides only the tiniest fraction of this, of course; most of it is gathered passively in the course of activities like paying wages, selling goods and services, collecting taxes, and monitoring compliance with laws and regulations. But wherever it comes from, the sheer amount of data is utterly astounding. On the other hand, it is equally clear that our foundational approaches to social life are little different from what they were a century ago. There are four approaches: the utilitarian individual framework, the social forces framework, the dialectical and other conflict frameworks, and the process/ecologies framework. To these over the past century has been added perhaps one new general approach, appropriate enough for the "information century": the view that social life is basically about the working out of symbolic systems. Between these two extremes--the vast amount of data on the one hand and the five basic theoretical schemes on the other--are myriad levels of theories and generalizations and hypotheses and stylized facts and so on. The question of cumulation in sociology is basically concerned with these layers in between, with levels of sociological work that change at a medium rate, something between the grand stasis of our theoretical paradigms and the Brownian churning of micro data.

(2006): How do we know the minds of others? Domain-specificity, simulation, and enactive social cognition. In: BRAIN RESEARCH (1), S. 25-35. DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2005.12.127
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brainres.2005.12.127 Abstract: In what ways, and to what extent, is social cognition distinguished from cognition in general? And how do data from cognitive neuroscience speak to this question? I review recent findings that argue social cognition may indeed be specialized, and at multiple levels. One particularly interesting respect in which social cognition differs from the rest of cognition is in its close interaction with the social environment. We actively probe other people in order to make inferences about what is going on in their minds (e.g., by asking them questions, and directing our gaze onto them), and we use the minds of other people as a collective resource. Experiments from our own laboratory point to the amygdala as one structure that is critically involved in such processes.

(2006): Knowing your place: Self-perceptions of status in face-to-face groups. In: Journal of personality and social psychology 91 (6), S. 1094-1110. DOI: 10.1037/0022-3514.91.6.1094
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17144767 Abstract: Status is the prominence, respect, and influence individuals enjoy in the eyes of others. Theories of positive illusions suggest that individuals form overly positive perceptions of their status in face-to-face groups. In contrast, the authors argue that individuals' perceptions of their status are highly accurate--that is, they closely match the group's perception of their status--because forming overly positive status self-perceptions can damage individuals' acceptance in a group. Therefore, the authors further argue that individuals are likely to refrain from status self-enhancement to maintain their belongingness in a group. Support for their hypotheses was found in 2 studies of status in face-to-face groups, using a social relations model approach (D. A. Kenny & L. La Voie, 1984). Individuals showed high accuracy in perceiving their status and even erred on the side of being overly humble. Moreover, enhancement in status self-perceptions was associated with lower levels of social acceptance.

Antor, Heinz (2006): Inter- und transkulturelle Studien. Theoretische Grundlagen und interdisziplinäre Praxis. Heidelberg: Winter (Anglistische Forschungen). Online verfügbar unter http://deposit.dnb.de/cgi-bin/dokserv?id=2771505&prov=M&dok_var=1&dok_ext=htm
Abstract: Der vorliegende Band präsentiert Ergebnisse der Arbeit des Zentrums für Inter- und Transkulturelle Studien (CITS) der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln. Zentrale Fragen der Kulturwissenschaften im Zeichen der Globalisierung werden hier aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive untersucht. Dabei werden bekannte Paradigmen wie jene der Multi- und Interkulturalität durch neuere Ansätze im Sinne einer transkulturellen Verfasstheit von Kultur(en) ergänzt. Neben theoretischen Überlegungen stehen immer auch praktische Konsequenzen im Zentrum der Analysen. Dabei ergeben sich neue Perspektiven für künftige akademische Forschung und Lehre, aber auch für Denken und Handeln in der globalisierten Welt jenseits der Universitätsmauern. Dies bedingt eine Überschreitung traditioneller Fächergrenzen und den Dialog zwischen unterschiedlichen disziplinären Positionen. Daher verbindet dieser Band Ansätze und Perspektiven der philologischen Fächer wie etwa der Anglistik, Skandinavistik, Romanistik, Lateinamerikanistik, Japanologie oder Sinologie mit solchen der Kommunikationswissenschaft, der postkolonialen Studien, der Soziologie, der Philosophie und der Pädagogik.

(2006) : Learning polite behavior with situation models: 3rd International Forum on Applied Wearable Computing 2006: Bremen, Germany: IEEE, S. 209-216
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1145/1349822.1349850 Abstract: In this paper, we describe experiments with methods for learning the appropriateness of behaviors based on a model of the current social situation. We first review different approaches for social robotics, and present a new approach based on situation modeling. We then review algorithms for social learning and propose three modifications to the classical Q-Learning algorithm. We describe five experiments with progressively complex algorithms for learning the appropriateness of behaviors. The first three experiments illustrate how social factors can be used to improve learning by controlling learning rate. In the fourth experiment we demonstrate that proper credit assignment improves the effectiveness of reinforcement learning for social interaction. In our fifth experiment we show that analogy can be used to accelerate learning rates in contexts composed of many situations.

(2006) : A Taxonomy of Applications that Utilize Emotional Awareness In: Erjavec, Tomaž; Žganec Gros, Jerneja (Hg.): Jezikovne tehnologije: Zbornik 9. mednarodne multikonference Informacijska družba IS 2006, 9. do 10. oktober 2006 = Language technologies : proceedings of the 9th International Multiconference Information Society IS 2006, 9th-10th October 2006, Ljubljana, Slovenia: Ljubljana: Institut "Jožef Stefan" (Informacijska družba), S. 246-250
Abstract: This paper deals with human-computer interaction applications that utilize emotional awareness. We will confine our discussion on speech-based applications. Prerequisites — training data, annotations — as well as state of the art in recognition and synthesis are addressed focusing on usability in possible applications and keeping restrictions in industrial environments in mind. We will present a taxonomy of applications using criteria such as online/offline, mirroring/non-mirroring, emotional/non-emotional and critical/noncritical system reactions. Based on a list of prototypical applications we check the consistency and usefulness of this taxonomy.

(2006) : Approaching Ambient Intelligent Home Care Systems: 2006 Pervasive Health Conference and Workshops: 2006 Pervasive Health Conference and Workshops: Innsbruck, Austria: IEEE, S. 1-10
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/PCTHEALTH.2006.361656 Abstract: Ambient Intelligence based home care systems (AHCS) have the potential to overcome problems current home care systems are facing with. On the downside, engineering full-fledged AHCS is a non-trivial task, and convincing solutions are still lacking. Current approaches still are focused mainly on technology rather than the user perspective and fail to address usability issues. Additionally, most solutions have a narrow focus, are not context-aware, and have difficulties to integrate with other living assistance solutions. This results in reduced assistance. In this paper, we (i) motivate the application of Ambient Intelligence technology for home care systems and identify shortcomings of current solutions, (ii) outline an integrated system approach to full-fledged AHCS, and (iii) introduce the amiCA system

(2006): Child social skills training in developmental crime prevention: Effects on antisocial behavior and social competence. In: PSICOTHEMA 18 (3), S. 603-610
Abstract: Social skills training for children is becoming increasingly popular as a measure for developmental crime prevention. Although previous reviews of such programs have shown positive effects, they have also revealed problems of research design, outcome measures, and long-term follow up. Accordingly, this article reports on a recent meta-analysis of randomized evaluations of the effect of social skills training in preventing antisocial behavior and promoting social competence. Of 841 retrievable references, 84 research reports with a total of 136 treatment-control comparisons fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Results showed a small but significant overall positive effect of d=.39 at post-intervention and d=.28 at follow-up (3 months and later). Effect sizes were somewhat greater for outcome measures of social competence than for measures of antisocial behavior, particularly when delinquency was assessed. Cognitive-behavioral programs revealed the best results in terms of generalization over time and on outcome criteria. In addition, prevention measures indicated for children and adolescents who already manifested some behavioral problems had higher effect sizes than universal approaches. Because most studies dealt with small sample sizes, non-official outcome data, and measurements after less than one year, the results should be interpreted with caution. Further high-quality studies with long-term empirical outcome criteria are needed, particularly outside the United States.

(2006): Conditions for Establishing a System of Fairness. Comment on Brosnan (2006). In: Social Justice Research 19 (2), S. 194-200. DOI: 10.1007/s11211-006-0001-0
DOI: http://www.springerlink.com/content/1573-6725/ Abstract: Comments on an article by S. Brosnan (same issue) on reactions to inequity among nonhuman species, which are assumed to mirror human response tendencies summarized as inequity aversion. Suggestions made by Brosnan concerning the continuity between humans and nonhuman species in cooperative behavior as well as the evolutionary processes that lead to the formation of a sense of equity are elaborated from a social-psychological perspective. The evolutionary process described as a four-step model may also be used to explain intervention process when equity is violated. The remarkable similarity between animals and humans in their sense of fairness is considered a confirmation of the assumed closeness of humans to their evolutionary ancestors.
