(2012) : Ethnomethodology and conversation analysis In: Cooper, Harris; Camic, Paul; Long, Debra; Panter, Abigail T.; Rindskopf, David; Sher, Kenneth J. (Hg.): APA handbook of research methods in psychology, Vol 2: Research designs: Quantitative, qualitative, neuropsychological, and biological: Washington: American Psychological Association, S. 103-117
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1037/13620-007 Abstract: Ethnomethodology (EM) and conversation analysis (CA) are the somewhat confusing names of two related research traditions that were developed in the 1960s in the United States by Harold Garfinkel and by Harvey Sacks (with his coworkers Emanuel Schegloff and Gail Jefferson), respectively. The contexts for their initiatives were the theoretical and methodological debates in sociology that were current at the time. Since then, EM and CA have become more or less established paradigms that have attracted researchers from a range of disciplines around the world. As a first characterization, one can note their interest in the detailed ways in which members of society collaboratively constitute the situations in which they find themselves and the (inter)actions that take place in those situations. The general sociological issue of social order is reconsidered as a local achievement of members in situations, and the research objective is to explicate how this is done in an accounta ble way. CA can be seen as a specialized form of EM, originally focusing on verbal interaction and later also considering nonvocal aspects. It has developed a rather specific, relatively conventionalized research style using audio or video recordings and detailed transcripts as basic data. Other forms of EM use a much wider range of data types, such as ethnographic observations, while the approach is closely fitted to the chosen topic and the properties of the research site.

(2012): Effects of multisensory environments on stereotyped behaviours assessed as maintained by automatic reinforcement. In: Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID 25 (6), S. 509-521. DOI: 10.1111/j.1468-3148.2012.00697.x
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23055285 Abstract: BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the sensory equipment provided in a multi-sensory environment (MSE) and the level of social contact provided on levels of stereotyped behaviours assessed as being maintained by automatic reinforcement. METHOD Stereotyped and engaged behaviours of two young people with severe intellectual disabilities were observed while the participants were either in a living room or in a MSE and receiving either high or low levels of interaction from carers. RESULTS For both participants, levels of stereotyped behaviour were lower in the MSE irrespective of the level of carer attention received, while levels of engagement were higher under conditions of high carer attention in both environments. CONCLUSIONS The results are consistent with the hypothesis that reductions in stereotyped behaviour observed in MSEs are due to the increased levels of specific sensory stimulation provided by such environments. zitiert von 14

(2012) : Dumb robots, smart phones: A case study of music listening companionship: 2012 IEEE RO-MAN: The 21st IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication: Paris, France: IEEE, S. 358-363
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/ROMAN.2012.6343779 Abstract: Combining high-performance, sensor-rich mobile devices with simple, low-cost robotic platforms could accelerate the adoption of personal robotics in real-world environments. We present a case study of this "dumb robot, smart phone" paradigm: a robotic speaker dock and music listening companion. The robot is designed to enhance a human¿s listening experience by providing social presence and embodied musical performance. In its initial application, it generates segmentspecific, beat-synchronized gestures based on the song's genre, and maintains eye-contact with the user. All of the robot's computation, sensing, and high-level motion control is performed on a smartphone, with the rest of the robot¿s parts handling mechanics and actuator bridging.

(2012): Cultural Differentiation of Negotiating Agents. In: Group Decision and Negotiation 21 (1), S. 79-98. DOI: 10.1007/s10726-010-9190-x
Abstract: Negotiations proceed differently across cultures. For realistic modeling of agents in multicultural negotiations, the agents must display culturally differentiated behavior. This paper presents an agent-based simulation model that tackles these challenges, based on Hofstede’s model of national cultures. The context is a trade network for goods with a hidden quality attribute. The negotiation model is based on the ABMP negotiation architecture and applies a utility function that includes market value, quality preference and risk attitude. The five dimensions of Hofstede’s model are the basis for the modification of ABMP parameters and weight factors in the utility function. The agents can observe each other’s group membership and status. This information is used, along with the indices of Hofstede’s dimensions, to differentiate behavior in different cultural settings. The paper presents results of test runs that verify the implementation of the model. The model helps to explain behaviors of actors in international trade networks. It proves that Hofstede’s dimensions can be used to generate culturally differentiated agents. Further validations of the model with case studies from literature and experiments have yet to be conducted. Extensions can make this model a useful tool for training traders who engage in cross-cultural negotiation and for implementation in negotiation support systems.

(2012): Politeness and impoliteness in ethnic varieties of New Zealand English. In: Journal of Pragmatics 44 (9), S. 1063-1076. DOI: 10.1016/j.pragma.2011.11.006
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pragma.2011.11.006 Abstract: Many aspects of New Zealand English (NZE) have been well described, especially the distinctive vocabulary, phonology, and some syntactic differences in relation to other varieties of English. Building on earlier research describing pragmatic features of NZE, and identifying ways in which politeness is expressed in NewZealand(NZ) workplace talk, this paper extends the socio-pragmatic analysis of NZE in several ways. Using the theoretical model that we have developed to analyse workplace interaction, we adopt an emic approach, focussing on intercultural interactions between Māori and Pākehā, and data from both Māori and Pākehā workplaces to throw light on distinctive features of politeness in NZE workplace discourse. With this goal,we examine the important value of egalitarianism in NZ society, and explore its pervasive influence on the ways in which politeness is interactionally achieved in different NZ communities of practice.

(2012): Affect and culture
Abstract: Discusses different approaches to explaining cultural similarities and differences. First, the ongoing debate between evolutionary and culture-relativistic approaches is addressed. Then, it is argued that an integrative developmental perspective on the ontogenetic emergence of emotions is of importance in identifying the ontogenetic roots of their cultural similarities and differences. It is further maintained that a developmental perspective can also serve as a validation of indigenous approaches, as well as for cross-cultural comparisons of adult emotions. This approach focuses on emotional expressions as a culturally constructed sign system that mediates between the cultural and psychological spheres.The acquisition of expression signs in interpersonal interaction is suggested to lead to a transformation of biologically determined precursor emotions of neonates into the culturally functional and differentiated emotions of adults. Such an approach is concluded to facilitate the identification of constitutive components of culturally differentiated emotions and their constitutive sociocultural factors that channel common and culture-specific pathways of emotional development. zitiert von 8

(2012): (Im)politeness in cross-cultural encounters. In: Language and Intercultural Communication 12 (4), S. 284-301. DOI: 10.1080/14708477.2012.722097
Abstract: In this article I will first discuss the notions of 'politeness' and 'impoliteness' including a multilevel model of politeness and impoliteness that relates universal levels to culture-and language-specific ones. Given this framework and my earlier postulation of a set of parameters along which members of two linguacultures differ in terms of communicative styles and preferences conventionally holding in a particular linguaculture, I will provide several examples of cross-cultural interactions in academic advising sessions. These examples will be discussed and some conclusions about misunderstandings in cross-cultural communication and ways to mitigate or avoid them will be drawn.

(2012): Respect in prisons: Prisoners’ experiences of respect in public and private sector prisons. In: Criminology & Criminal Justice 12 (1), S. 3-23. DOI: 10.1177/1748895811423088
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/1748895811423088 Abstract: Interpretations of ‘respect’ in prison have tended to be narrow, focusing on courteous and considerate staff–prisoner relationships. In a recent study, we found that respect was defined by prisoners not just in terms of interpersonal relationships but also ‘getting things done’ (what might be called ‘organizational respect’). We expected prisoners in the study, which compared quality of life in public and private sector prisons, to rate private prisons well in terms of respect, due to previous research findings and the history and self-declared values of the companies who run them. The findings from the study revealed a more complex picture. There was mixed support for previous claims that the private sector offers a more courteous prison environment than the public sector, and, among the matched prisons in our study, the public sector establishments were better than the private sector prisons at ‘getting things done’: a distinct component of respect in prison, according to prisoners. These differences influenced prisoners’ evaluations of the ‘respectfulness’ of their treatment in each sector.

Abstract: This paper presents a novel hand gesture system for intelligent human-computer interaction (HCI) and its applications in medical assistance, e.g. intelligent wheelchair control. The hand gesture vocabulary in the system consists of five key hand postures and three compound states, and its design strategy covers the minimal hand motions, distraction detection and user-friendly design. The experiment results show that the designed lexicon is intuitive, ergonomic, and easy to be remembered and performed. The system is tested in both of the indoor and outdoor environments and shows the robustness to lighting change and users' errors. The proposed intelligent HCI system can run in real-time and offers a natural and efficient interface for people with disability in their limbs to communicate with robots.

(2012): Differentiation levels of cultural mediation within a socio-cultural sphere. A re-evaluation of the concept of culture. In: Integrative psychological & behavioral science 46 (3), S. 303-311. DOI: 10.1007/s12124-012-9205-z
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22684874 Abstract: Matusov and Smith (Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science 46: 3, 2012) use a genealogical analysis of the US middle class to show how classic concepts of identity do not only represent historically, politically, and culturally local phenomena, but also contribute to them. Their analysis nicely exemplifies how culture, as semiotic mediation, guides and constrains both societal as well as intra- and inter-personal structures. As not only the traditional notion of identity, but also the mainstream concept of culture, represents a limiting understanding of the person-culture relation, the first part of this article re-evaluates two main understandings of culture within psychology and then argue for a semiotic mediational conception that simultaneously guides and constrain not only intra- and inter-individual mechanisms, but also structures the socio-cultural sphere. What remains to be examined is: how exactly can personal agency and positioning be promoted and strengthened within the tensions of personal cultures and the socio-cultural sphere.

(2012) : Do people hold a humanoid robot morally accountable for the harm it causes? In: Yanco, Holly: Proceedings of the seventh annual ACMIEEE international conference on Human-Robot Interaction: the seventh annual ACM/IEEE international conference: Boston, Massachusetts, USA: 3/5/2012 - 3/8/2012. ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction; ACM Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence: New York, NY: ACM
Abstract: Robots will increasingly take on roles in our social lives where they can cause humans harm. When robots do so, will people hold robots morally accountable? To investigate this question, 40 undergraduate students individually engaged in a 15-minute interaction with ATR's humanoid robot, Robovie. The interaction culminated in a situation where Robovie incorrectly assessed the participant's performance in a game, and prevented the participant from winning a $20 prize. Each participant was then interviewed in a 50-minute session. Results showed that all of the participants engaged socially with Robovie, and many of them conceptualized Robovie as having mental/emotional and social attributes. Sixty-five percent of the participants attributed some level of moral accountability to Robovie. Statistically, participants held Robovie less accountable than they would a human, but more accountable than they would a vending machine. Results are discussed in terms of the New Ontological Category Hypothesis and robotic warfare.

(2012): "Robovie, you'll have to go into the closet now". Children's social and moral relationships with a humanoid robot. In: Developmental Psychology 48 (2), S. 303-314. DOI: 10.1037/a0027033
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1037/a0027033 Abstract: Children will increasingly come of age with personified robots and potentially form social and even moral relationships with them. What will such relationships look like? To address this question, 90 children (9-, 12-, and 15-year-olds) initially interacted with a humanoid robot, Robovie, in 15-min sessions. Each session ended when an experimenter interrupted Robovie's turn at a game and, against Robovie's stated objections, put Robovie into a closet. Each child was then engaged in a 50-min structural-developmental interview. Results showed that during the interaction sessions, all of the children engaged in physical and verbal social behaviors with Robovie. The interview data showed that the majority of children believed that Robovie had mental states (e.g., was intelligent and had feelings) and was a social being (e.g., could be a friend, offer comfort, and be trusted with secrets). In terms of Robovie's moral standing, children believed that Robovie deserved fair treatment and should not be harmed psychologically but did not believe that Robovie was entitled to its own liberty (Robovie could be bought and sold) or civil rights (in terms of voting rights and deserving compensation for work performed). Developmentally, while more than half the 15-year-olds conceptualized Robovie as a mental, social, and partly moral other, they did so to a lesser degree than the 9- and 12-year-olds. Discussion focuses on how (a) children's social and moral relationships with future personified robots may well be substantial and meaningful and (b) personified robots of the future may emerge as a unique ontological category. zitiert von 138

(2012): Justice and Conflicts. Theoretical and Empirical Contributions. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg
Abstract: Explained the complex construct of moral courage. Moral courage is defined as courageous behavior accompanied by anger and indignation which intends to enforce societal and ethical norms without regard to one's own social costs. It is the risk of negative social consequences that distinguishes moral courage from other forms of prosocial behavior. Similarities and differences between moral courage, heroism, and social control are discussed. Determinants promoting or inhibiting morally courageous behavior include situational factors and particular personality traits including justice sensitivity, empathy, high self-assurance, and open-mindedness. The presence or absence of others has been found to be a particularly significant determinant of helping behavior but not morally courageous behavior. Training programs designed to promote moral courage are outlined. In summary, moral courage is an important concept and should be promoted within society. zitiert von: 59

(2012): A TYPOLOGY OF VERBAL IMPOLITENESS BEHAVIOUR FOR THE ENGLISH AND SPANISH CULTURES. In: REVISTA ESPANOLA DE LINGUISTICA APLICADA (25), S. 69-92
Abstract: The present study takes as its point of departure Kaul de Marlangeon's (2008a) typology of verbal impoliteness in the Spanish-speaking cultures, and, using a corpus of English, attempts to test its validity and/or application to the English-speaking cultures. In that typology, the different types of impolite acts in the Spanish-speaking culture share in common either the intention to be impolite or the absence thereof. This common intention or lack of it is thought to be reflected and regulated by the culture in question. The main aim of such a typology was to find a taxonomy that would focus on the differences regarding impolite attitudes and behaviour within and along an impoliteness continuum. The results obtained make us feel inclined to argue in favour of the existence of more similarities than differences between the two macrocultures under scrutiny with respect to the types of impoliteness found in them.

(2012): The social brain in psychiatric and neurological disorders. In: Trends in cognitive sciences 16 (11), S. 559-572. DOI: 10.1016/j.tics.2012.09.006
DOI: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3606817 Abstract: Psychiatric and neurological disorders have historically provided key insights into the structure-function relationships that subserve human social cognition and behavior, informing the concept of the 'social brain'. In this review, we take stock of the current status of this concept, retaining a focus on disorders that impact social behavior. We discuss how the social brain, social cognition, and social behavior are interdependent, and emphasize the important role of development and compensation. We suggest that the social brain, and its dysfunction and recovery, must be understood not in terms of specific structures, but rather in terms of their interaction in large-scale networks.

(2012) : From good manners to facework. Politeness variations and constants in France, from the classic age to today In: Bax, Marcel; Kádár, Dániel Z. (Hg.): Understanding historical (im)politeness: Relational linguistic practice over time and across cultures, 41: Amsterdam: John Benjamins Pub. Co (Benjamins Current Topics), S. 131-153
Abstract: Forms and conceptions of politeness vary noticeably from one society to another, and also, within a given society, from one age to another. However, it can be assumed that the treatment of politeness phenomena in terms of “facework” as advocated by Brown and Levinson (1978, 1987) might help us to shed some light on both cultural variations and diachronic variations in politeness behaviour. This assumption is tested by considering the question of “good manners” in the French classic age as they are recorded in some prescriptive and literary writings. The study reveals that the profound logic that politeness obeys is the same in all eras. I take a special interest in the “double binds” we are confronted with in the exercise of politeness, looking at, for example, compliments as a ritual activity.

(2012): Natural interaction with culturally adaptive virtual characters. In: Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces 6 (1-2), S. 39-47. DOI: 10.1007/s12193-011-0087-z
Abstract: Recently, the verbal and non-verbal behavior of virtual characters has become more and more sophisticated due to advances in behavior planning and rendering. Nevertheless, the appearance and behavior of these characters is in most cases based on the cultural background of their designers. Especially in combination with new natural interaction interfaces, there is the risk that characters developed for a particular culture might not find acceptance when being presented to another culture. A few attempts have been made to create characters that reflect a particular cultural background. However, interaction with these characters still remains an awkward experience in particular when it comes to non-verbal interaction. In many cases, human users either have to choose actions from a menu their avatar has to execute or they have to struggle with obtrusive interaction devices. In contrast, our paper combines an approach to the generation of culture-specific behaviors with full body avatar control based on the Kinect sensor. A first study revealed that users are able to easily control an avatar through their body movements and immediately adapt its behavior to the cultural background of the agents they interact with.
