(2018): Tomorrow’s human–machine design tools: From levels of automation to interdependencies. In: Journal of Cognitive Engineering and Decision Making 12 (1), S. 77-82. DOI: 10.1177/1555343417736462
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/1555343417736462 Abstract: The growth of sophistication in machine capabilities must go hand in hand with growth of sophistication in human–machine interaction capabilities. To continue advancement as we build today’s intelligent machines, designers need formative tools for creating sociotechnical systems. In this article, we will briefly assess the appropriateness of ’levels of automation’ as a tool for designing human–machine systems. Additionally, we present coactive design and interdependence analysis as a viable alternative tool moving forward into more advanced and sophisticated human–machine systems.

(2018): GAN Lab: Understanding Complex Deep Generative Models using Interactive Visual Experimentation. In: IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics, S. 310-320. DOI: 10.1109/TVCG.2018.2864500
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30130198 Abstract: Recent success in deep learning has generated immense interest among practitioners and students, inspiring many to learn about this new technology. While visual and interactive approaches have been successfully developed to help people more easily learn deep learning, most existing tools focus on simpler models. In this work, we present GAN Lab, the first interactive visualization tool designed for non-experts to learn and experiment with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), a popular class of complex deep learning models. With GAN Lab, users can interactively train generative models and visualize the dynamic training process's intermediate results. GAN Lab tightly integrates an model overview graph that summarizes GAN's structure, and a layered distributions view that helps users interpret the interplay between submodels. GAN Lab introduces new interactive experimentation features for learning complex deep learning models, such as step-by-step training at multiple levels of abstraction for understanding intricate training dynamics. Implemented using TensorFlow.js, GAN Lab is accessible to anyone via modern web browsers, without the need for installation or specialized hardware, overcoming a major practical challenge in deploying interactive tools for deep learning.

(2018): Social Robots for Early Language Learning: Current Evidence and Future Directions. In: Child Development Perspectives 12 (3), S. 146-151. DOI: 10.1111/cdep.12277
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/cdep.12277 Abstract: In this article, we review research on child–robot interaction (CRI) to discuss how social robots can be used to scaffold language learning in young children. First we provide reasons why robots can be useful for teaching first and second languages to children. Then we review studies on CRI that used robots to help children learn vocabulary and produce language. The studies vary in first and second languages and demographics of the learners (typically developing children and children with hearing and communication impairments). We conclude that, although social robots are useful for teaching language to children, evidence suggests that robots are not as effective as human teachers. However, this conclusion is not definitive because robots that tutor students in language have not been evaluated rigorously and technology is advancing rapidly. We suggest that CRI offers an opportunity for research and list possible directions for that work. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)

(2018) : Key challenges for developing a Socially Assistive Robotic (SAR) solution for the health sector: 2018 IEEE 23rd International Workshop on Computer Aided Modeling and Design of Communication Links and Networks (CAMAD): 2018 IEEE 23rd International Workshop on Computer Aided Modeling and Design of Communication Links and Networks (CAMAD): Barcelona, Spain: IEEE, S. 1-7
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/CAMAD.2018.8515005 Abstract: To help meet the health and caregiving needs of an increasingly ageing population, Engineering is developing SARA, a ''Socially Assistive Robotic Solution for Ambient assisted living'', as an extension of its commercial AREAS Enterprise Resource Planning suite for the Health sector. SARA is a complex distributed home automation and robotics system providing health monitoring and (socially interactive) assistance in daily living tasks to the elderly (and their caregivers) at home - with the aim to prolong their autonomy and delay their institutionalization. While advances in artificial intelligence and internet-of-things technologies are converging to make SARA (and similar automated solutions) ever more technically feasible and economically viable, there nevertheless remain significant technological challenges to overcome. This paper introduces SARA, describes some of the key challenges faced in its development, and explains how smart end-to-end IoT interoperability, connectivity and security can help tackle these challenges.

(2018): Spillover modes in multiplex games. Double-edged effects on cooperation and their coevolution. In: Scientific reports 8 (1). DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-25025-3
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29720679 Abstract: In recent years, there has been growing interest in studying games on multiplex networks that account for interactions across linked social contexts. However, little is known about how potential cross-context interference, or spillover, of individual behavioural strategy impact overall cooperation. We consider three plausible spillover modes, quantifying and comparing their effects on the evolution of cooperation. In our model, social interactions take place on two network layers: repeated interactions with close neighbours in a lattice, and one-shot interactions with random individuals. Spillover can occur during the learning process with accidental cross-layer strategy transfer, or during social interactions with errors in implementation. Our analytical results, using extended pair approximation, are in good agreement with extensive simulations. We find double-edged effects of spillover: increasing the intensity of spillover can promote cooperation provided cooperation is favoured in one layer, but too much spillover is detrimental. We also discover a bistability phenomenon: spillover hinders or promotes cooperation depending on initial frequencies of cooperation in each layer. Furthermore, comparing strategy combinations emerging in each spillover mode provides good indication of their co-evolutionary dynamics with cooperation. Our results make testable predictions that inspire future research, and sheds light on human cooperation across social domains.

(2018) : Moral judgment: Reflective, interactive, spontaneous, challenging, and always evolving. In: Gray, Kurt James; Graham, Jesse (Hg.): Atlas of moral psychology: What do we evaluate when we evaluate moral character? - Helzer, Erik G.; Critcher, Clayton R.: New York, NY: The Guilford Press
Abstract: Why is moral reasoning fundamental to an explanation of the development of morality? Reasoning is the process by which humans create and apply principles for how individuals ought to treat one another; it is neither innate nor inculcated, but constructed through everyday interactions over the course of development. In this chapter, we discuss the developmental origins of morality, drawing on theories and empirical research in developmental science. Understanding the origins and developmental changes of any phenomenon provides insights into sources of influence, change, and evolution throughout the life course. Although morality was once thought to be the province of adulthood (children were viewed as selfish, antagonistic, or as a blank slate), a large body of research has demonstrated that children are social beings, oriented toward others, motivated to help others and to cooperate, and, beginning in early childhood, capable of drawing categorical distinctions between mo ral cons iderations and other social organizational norms. Moreover, starting at preschool age, children justify moral judgments by reference to fairness, rights, or others’ welfare, whereas they justify conventional judgments by reference to rules, authority, and social traditions. Over several decades, empirical evidence has demonstrated that the developmental emergence of morality stems out of social interactions, both with peers and through adult-child exchanges, and changes slowly over the life course. Morality is constructed through social interactions and observations of events in the world, involving evaluation, reflection, and judgments about the fair treatment of others.

(2018): Religion, moral attitudes and economic behavior. In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 148, S. 282-300. DOI: 10.1016/j.jebo.2018.02.022
Abstract: Using data for a representative sample of the Dutch population with information about participants’ religious background, we study the association between religion and moral behavior and attitudes. We find that religious people are less accepting of unethical economic behavior (e.g., tax evasion, bribery) and report more volunteering. They are equally likely as non-religious people to betray trust in an experimental game, where social behavior is unobservable and not directed to a self-selected group of recipients. Religious people also report lower preference for redistribution. Considering differences between denominations, Catholics betray less than non-religious people, while Protestants betray more than Catholics and are indistinguishable from the non-religious. We also explore the intergenerational transmission and the potential causality of these associations.

(2018): Evaluation of Social Skill Education of 4-6 Age Children Designed with Creative Drama Method. Okulöncesi Dönemi Çocukları İçin Yaratıcı Drama Yöntemi İle Kurgulanan Sosyal Beceri Eğitiminin Değerlendirilmesi. In: Journal of History Culture and Art Research 7 (1). DOI: 10.7596/taksad.v7i1.1296
Abstract: Compared to a child who plays basic games, it is seen that children who play exploratory games develop further. Social development is a process with wide spectrum which extends from babyhood to old age. Creative drama activities provide opportunities for thinking critically, learning, social interaction skills, social development and social change and allows for the development of skills within group. For this reason, creative drama is believed to be the most important tool to be used in the supporting of social skill development of children in early childhood with its game-like processes, child-centred construct, urging the child to imagine and providing freedom to the child within certain limits, as well as its employment of games as sub-dimension. In the study, single group pre-test / post-test model which is an experimental research pattern was used in order to identify the impact of creative drama education on social skills of students. Prior to the data collection process permission was granted from the parents and Hasan Avcioglu's Social Skills Evaluation Scale for 4-6 Age groups was used for data collection. The study involved in total 22 children from ages 4 and 5 with equal number of children within each group. Within the framework of social skills evaluation scale, 13 creative drama workshops were prepared each of which were 55 minutes long and the opinion of a field expert was sought. When the scores obtained from the research by the students are examined, it is seen that the mean score from the entire scale before training was 3,41 +/- 0,57 whereas the mean score after training increased to 3,68 +/- 0,72. It was found out that the difference between the scores obtained by children covered in the study before and after the training was statistically significant (p<0,05). These findings suggest that the study had significantly positive impact on the creative drama-based social skill education and social skill development of children, especially in terms of peer pressure, self-expression, listening and task-completion skills.

(2018): "It's all about incentive": Social technology as a potential facilitator for self-determined physical activity participation for young people with physical disabilities. In: Developmental neurorehabilitation 21 (8), S. 521-530. DOI: 10.1080/17518423.2017.1370501
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/17518423.2017.1370501 Abstract: PURPOSE To investigate the perceived role of social technologies in promoting physical activity participation for young people with physical disabilities and to identify design considerations that should be addressed when creating social technologies to promote physical activity. METHOD Interactive design workshops for young people with physical disabilities aged 12-18 (n = 8) were held. Data were analyzed using interpretive thematic analysis. RESULTS Young people perceived significant benefit for social technologies to promote physical activity as they have the potential to overcome many barriers to physical activity participation. Design features recommended by the participants included (1) options for diverse interests and preferences, (2) provision of informational support, (3) support through equitable technology design, (4) incentive through competition and play, and (5) opportunities to develop community. CONCLUSIONS Social technology has potential to provide tailored, equitable opportunities for social engagement and physical activity participation for young people with physical disabilities through needs- and preference-specific design.

(2018): Should we love robots? – The most liked qualities of companion dogs and how they can be implemented in social robots. In: Computers in Human Behavior 80, S. 132-142. DOI: 10.1016/j.chb.2017.11.002
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2017.11.002 Abstract: In the future, robots may live with users as long-term companions, thus it is important that some sort of attachment relationship develop between humans and agents. Man's best friend the dog provides a model for investigating what makes a heterospecific companion a lovable social partner. Thus, we studied people's attitudes toward dogs and robots comparatively, with a special focus on those features in dogs that cause people to accept them in their homes and love them. Additionally, we explored from what kind of behaviors people infer these qualities. We found that people's attitude toward robots is much more negative than towards dogs. Having emotions, personality and showing attachment were the most frequently reported advantages of dogs. Respondents showed high agreement about the behavioral manifestation of these qualities, which are necessary for engineers to be able to implement such advantages into the social robots' programs. Based on our results, in the future roboticists may supply social robots with these preferred qualities, which will aid in the designing of successful social robots.

(2018): Implementation via rights structures. In: Journal of Economic Theory 176, S. 479-502. DOI: 10.1016/j.jet.2018.04.009
Abstract: Implementation of socially desirable alternatives can be thought of as a way to design power distribution in a society such that the equilibrium outcomes coincide with the alternatives chosen at each preference profile. In this paper, we introduce a new institutional framework for implementation, which takes power distribution in a society as its point of departure. We use the notion of a rights structure, introduced by Sertel (2001), to formalize the power distribution in a society. We formulate and characterize implementability via rights structures under different specifications, which require having well-defined convergence dynamics and being consistent with farsighted behavior. We identify how implementation via rights structures is related to implementation via mechanisms. In the presence of at least three agents, we find the class of rights structures, implementability via which is equivalent to Nash and strong Nash implementability. We also introduce a strategic counterpart of implementation via rights structures in terms of deviation-constrained mechanisms.

(2018): Being respected by nurses: Measuring older patients' perceptions. In: International journal of older people nursing 13 (3). DOI: 10.1111/opn.12197
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29701287 Abstract: AIM AND OBJECTIVE To investigate older patients' perceptions of respect in hospital nursing care and to test a newly developed instrument measuring the phenomenon. BACKGROUND Respect manifests itself in the older patient-nurse relationship in terms of nurses being with and doing for the patient. Empirical studies investigating respect from the older patients' perspective are rare. There is a need to maintain respectful behaviours and attitudes within hospital-based nursing practice. Furthermore, there is a lack of instruments measuring respect in the care provided by nurses. DESIGN AND METHODS A descriptive, cross-sectional explorative survey design was used. Data were collected between February and May 2016 by interviewing face-to-face 196 older patients in two hospitals in Finland. Respect was measured using the ReSpect scale (Parts A and B) developed for this study. Respect is based on the two dimensions of respect, nurses' Being with and Doing for patients. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods including the psychometric testing of the new instrument. RESULTS Older patients perceived respect in their care frequently and to a great extent, although there were also shortcomings. The findings highlight the need to improve respect to patients in care delivery by showing an interest in their views, acknowledging them positively and supporting their individual capacities. A two-factor structure of the ReSpect scale Part A and a four-factor structure of the Part B were confirmed. CONCLUSIONS Findings from this study suggest that older hospital patients perceived respect by nurses overall, but the area where there is the most room for improvement is that of listening and encouraging. The psychometric analysis demonstrated that the ReSpect scale shows promise in measuring respect. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The ReSpect scale could be a useful tool to measure respect, an important element of value-based health care.

(2018): Organizational socialization of newcomers. The role of professional socialization. In: International Journal of Training and Development 22 (2), S. 87-106. DOI: 10.1111/ijtd.12120
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/ijtd.12120 Abstract: Organizational socialization is the process through which newcomers learn the requisite social and task knowledge in order to resolve role uncertainty and become organizational insiders. Successful socialization of newcomers implies better retention of employees, higher productivity, and reduced recruitment and training costs. Many organizational newcomers undergo professional socialization through education and related work experience during their schooling. These newcomers may respond differently to an organization's efforts to socialize them when compared with newcomers without any related professional education or work experience. The importance of prior work experience and professional education for organizational socialization of newcomers, however, has received attention only recently. The aim of the research reported in this paper is to investigate the moderating effects of prior related work experience and professional education on the relationship between organi zational socialization tactics and newcomer's adjustment. The study was conducted with a sample of new graduates from an Asian university. Findings show that prior related work experience and professional education moderate the effects of socialization tactics on newcomer's role clarity, role conflict and organizational commitment. The moderators have effects on different outcomes and in opposite directions. The paper discusses theoretical and practical implications of these findings.

(2018) : A Computational Framework for Integrating Task Planning and Norm Aware Reasoning for Social Robots: 2018 27th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN): Nanjing, China: IEEE Robotics & Automation Society, S. 282-287
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/ROMAN.2018.8525577 Abstract: Autonomous robots are envisioned to increasingly become part of our lives in the house, restaurants, hospitals and offices. Additionally, self-driving cars will be soon appearing in city streets and highways and they will have to interact with cars driven by humans as well as other self-driving cars. In these settings the robots not only need to efficiently perform their tasks but also be able to interact with humans in socially appropriate ways. To accomplish this, robots must be able to reason not only on how to perform their tasks, but also incorporate societal values, social norms and legal rules so they can gain human acceptability and trust. Moreover, interactions with these robots will be long term. Long-term human interaction with robots as well as robot combined reasoning about both tasks and social norms generate multiple modeling and computational challenges. In this paper, we address one of the most important of these challenges, namely what is an appropriate and scalable computational framework that enables simultaneous task and normative reasoning. In particular, we report on our work on a novel computational framework, Modular Normative Markov Decision Processes (MNMDP) that integrates reasoning for domain tasks and normative reasoning for long-term autonomy. The MNMDP framework applies normative reasoning considering only the norms that are activated in appropriate contexts, rather than considering the full set of norms, thus significantly reducing computational complexity. The model modularity is also advantageous for long-term human-robot interaction. We present computational experiments that show significant computational improvements as compared with a base Normative Markov Decision Process (MDP) framework that includes the full set of norms.

(2018): Religion and Spirituality in Social Work Practice with Children and Adolescents. A Survey of Canadian Practitioners. In: Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal 35 (2), S. 153-167. DOI: 10.1007/s10560-017-0513-5
Abstract: Empirical evidence about the relevance of religion/spirituality for children and adolescents contrasts with the limited number of studies inquiring about the role of religion/spirituality when working with this population. In response to this lack of knowledge, this study explored the professional attitudes, experiences, and practice behaviors of social workers and social service workers working with youth and determined the predictive factors for using spiritually-derived interventions. A cross-sectional survey design, with proportionate stratified sampling, was used to gather data from 307 Canadian social workers and social service workers working with youth in Ontario (response rate was 40%, with 5.06% margin of error). Respondents reported favorable views toward the role of religion/spirituality in social work practice, in general. They also reported positive attitudes about the relevancy of religion/spirituality for this population and somewhat frequent encounters with religious/spiritual abuse and neglect. They used a wide variety of spiritually-derived interventions; however, over two-thirds (69%) reported their formal education "never" or "rarely" included content on the topic. Barriers to using spiritually-derived interventions included: lack of knowledge/experience, concern about presenting one's own bias, disapproval from caregivers, and lack of agency/supervisor support. Multiple regression analysis revealed two assessment variables, two attitudinal variables, one education/training variable, and one personal religious/spiritual variable predictive of the use of spiritually-derived interventions, accounting for 55% of the variance. Findings suggest a need for emphasizing spiritually-sensitive practice guidelines and for social work education and continuing education to include content about religious/spiritual diversity as well as content about spiritual development that includes spirituality in childhood.

(2018) : Readiness for Artificial Intelligence: 2018 IEEE 16th International Symposium on Intelligent Systems and Informatics (SISY): Subotica, Serbia: IEEE, S. 000235-000238
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/SISY.2018.8524740 Abstract: In the age of the fourth industrial revolution, where collaborative systems are the real innovation people are still not prepared for the results of the third revolution, namely for artificial intelligence. While every change has its life cycle with innovators, early adopters, early majority before it can reach its fruition, the age of robots has too fast been followed by the internet of things (IoT) of the fourth industrial revolution. Hence, people didn’t have enough time to adapt to the change. In present paper a primary research is presented, that aimed to explore the attitude of young adolescents towards artificial intelligence. Based on the result, trust is clearly one of the main issues regarding change in general and readiness in particular. People are not ready for robotic peers within their workplace yet. Psychological and emotive needs shall be addressed for the people to accept artificial intelligence in their workplace and surrounding.

(2018): Transforming infant wellbeing. Research, policy and practice for the first 1001 critical days. Abingdon, Oxon; New York, NY: Routledge
Abstract: Any system is most flexible while being built. Human brains under construction are designed to rapidly adapt to the family setting. Babies have no comparisons, and the quality of relationships is the prime component of their world. For the first years of life parents lend their brains to their child, sliding their unconscious into this growing mind. ‘From a basic biological perspective, the child’s neuronal system—the structure and functioning of the developing brain—is shaped by the parent’s more mature brain. This occurs within emotional communication’. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved) zitiert von 237

(2018): A path analysis of a cultural and racial socialization model in international transracial adoption. Racial awareness, self-efficacy, and socialization practices. In: Children and Youth Services Review 85, S. 333-340. DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2018.01.002
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to test a conceptual model using path analysis to examine direct and indirect relationships among factors contributing to transracial adoptive parents' cultural and racial socialization practices. Participants, responding to an online survey, were White mothers and fathers of children born in China and other Asian and non-Asian countries, and were associated with Families with Children from China, a support group. Included in a path analysis were 310 cases. As hypothesized, post-adoption education and support, racial awareness, and socialization self-efficacy were found to be important factors that positively influenced socialization practices. Researchers may be interested in further examination of the cultural and racial socialization model to address the parenting needs of international transracial adoptive parents, and ultimately to support the healthy ethnic and racial identity formation of transracial adoptees.
