(2017): They Love Me, They Love Me Not?. Social Power Shapes Expectations of Acceptance and Concerns about Rejection. In: Social Cognition 35 (5), S. 563-584. DOI: 10.1521/soco.2017.35.5.563
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1521/soco.2017.35.5.563 Abstract: Four studies tested the overriding hypothesis that an actor’s high relative to low social power enhances the actor’s expectations of social acceptance, and attenuates his or her concerns about social rejection, from others. Study 1 yielded correlational support for this hypothesis, while Studies 2 and 3 produced causal evidence. Study 3 also suggested that actor-power effects on acceptance expectations and rejection concerns emerge in relation to both opposite-power counterparts and others in general, though the effects tend to be stronger for the former. Finally, Study 4 confirmed that our effects are driven at least partly by an actor’s power, though at times in interaction with the high or low power of potential sources of acceptance/ rejection. The present studies extend a growing literature on power’s effects on processes and phenomena related to social acceptance and rejection. We discuss limitations, implications, and future directions.

(2017): Contact with Counter-Stereotypical Women Predicts Less Sexism, Less Rape Myth Acceptance, Less Intention to Rape (in Men) and Less Projected Enjoyment of Rape (in Women). In: Sex Roles 76 (7), S. 473-484. DOI: 10.1007/s11199-016-0679-x
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11199-016-0679-x Abstract: Intergroup contact-(positive) interactions with people from different social groups-is a widely researched and strongly supported prejudice-reducing mechanism shown to reduce prejudice against a wide variety of outgroups. However, no known previous research has investigated whether intergroup contact can also reduce sexism against women. Sexism has an array of negative outcomes. One of the most detrimental and violent ones is rape, which is both justified and downplayed by rape myth acceptance. We hypothesised that more frequent, higher quality contact with counter-stereotypical women would predict lower levels of sexism and thus less rape myth acceptance (in men) and less sexualised projected responses to rape (in women). Two studies using online surveys with community samples supported these hypotheses. In Study 1, 170 male participants who experienced more positive contact with counter-stereotypical women reported less intention to rape. Similarly, in Study 2, 280 female participants who experienced more positive contact with counter-stereotypical women reported less projected sexual arousal at the thought of being raped. Thus, the present research is the first known to show that contact could be a potential tool to combat sexism, rape myth acceptance, intentions to rape in men, and sexualisation of rape by women.

(2017) : A study on the social acceptance of a robot in a multi-human interaction using an F-formation based motion model: 2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS): Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: IEEE, S. 2766-2771
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/IROS.2017.8206105 Abstract: As robots participate in human’s daily activities more and more frequently, mobility performance has become one of the main factors determining how robots will share an environment with humans harmoniously in the near future. Among several different kinds of mobile platforms, using omnidirectional configurations is gradually becoming a trend in the robotics community; however, few researchers have addressed the impact of omnidirectional mobility from the perspective of human-robot interaction (HRI). In this paper, we have proposed a socializing model for the robot while participating in an interaction with a group of human peers to achieve its socially optimal position. From a theoretic perspective, we first identify the most prominent features required for social acceptance of robots interacting with multiple humans, backing our arguments with relevant sociological theory. To validate our results, we have conducted experiments where human participants were invited to interact with a robot, which can be constrained to perform either holonomic or nonholonomic motions only. Then, through an observer survey, we testify the appropriateness of utilizing omnidirectional mobility and verify the promotion of social acceptance using the aforementioned features, which is a goal that both the HRI and robotics communities aim to achieve.

(2012): Presence, reciprocity and robotic mediations: The case of autonomous social roots. In: International Journal of Technoethics 3 (2), S. 9-16. DOI: 10.4018/jte.2012040102
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4018/jte.2012040102 Abstract: In this paper, the author proposes a theoretical framework for drawing a line between acceptable and non-acceptable technologies, with a focus on autonomous social robots. The author considers robots as mediations and their ethical acceptance as depending on their impact on the notion of presence. Presence is characterised by networks of reciprocity which make human beings subject and object of actions and perceptions at the same time. Technological mediation can either promote or inhibit the reciprocity of presence. A medium that inhibits presence deserves ethical evaluation since it prevents the possibility of a mutual exchange, thus creating a form of power. Autonomous social robots are a special kind of technological mediation because they replace human presence with a simulation of presence. Therefore, in interactions between human beings and autonomous robots, attention should be paid to the consequences on legal, moral, and social responsibility, and, at the same time, the impact of simulated forms of presence on human beings.

(2008): Emotional intelligence and social skills in adolescents with high social acceptance. In: Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology 6 (2), S. 319-338
Abstract: Introduction: Adolescence is a critical period for individual and social development in which youngsters face different situations that involve their Emotional Intelligence and social skills. One of the most significant challenges for the adolescent is social acceptance, expressed through popularity, indifference or rejection from peers. In social acceptance it is important to know the role of Emotional Intelligence and social skills, thus helping to clarify lines of action in intervention programs with socially weak adolescents. Method: Using BArOn EQ-i:YV, emotional intelligence was evaluated for a group of 62 adolescents with high social acceptance (average age 13). These were selected by partner nominations. Similarly, 331 students from natural groups, not identified by their degree of social acceptance, were also evaluated. Gismero's scale (2002) was used to evaluate their social skills. Results: Statistical analyses of the variables showed significant differences in emotional intelligence (self-report measure) in favor of the higher social acceptance group as compared to the natural group. In the former group, lower scores were found for several social skills, with the request-making skill being lowest. In the same way, statistically significant correlations were found among several factors from BarOn's test and from the social skills scale. Discussion: The high emotional intelligence scores of students in the higher social acceptance group are congruent with theoretical models and with results from other studies. Significant statistical correlations were found among the EI factors and social skills that showed a partial relationship between these constructs; however, the low scores in the area of social skills observed in adolescents with higher social acceptance uncover an opportunity for developing such skills with them, since these skills represent learned, situational and contextualized behaviors.
