(2015): On the Relative Importance of Personal Values. In: Journal of Individual Differences 36 (2), S. 119-129. DOI: 10.1027/1614-0001/a000162
Abstract: The relative importance of values is a central feature in Schwartz's value theory. However, instruments used for validating his theory did not assess relative importance directly. Rather, values were independently rated and scores then statistically centered, person-by-person. Whether these scores match those that result from explicitly comparing values has not been tested. This is studied here using the Computerized Paired Comparison of Values (CPCV). This instrument was applied to samples from Germany, Brazil, Spain, and Israel, together with Schwartz's Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ). CPCV- and PVQ-data were analyzed by separate and joint multidimensional scaling, generalized procrustes, and response time analyses. Results support the validity of Schwartz's structural theory, independently of the assessment instrument used.

(2015): Toward a general model of fairness perception formation: A critical review and revision of fairness theory.. Dissertation. University of Arizona, Arizona, US, zuletzt geprüft am 07.03.2018
Abstract: Fairness theory represents a widely cited framework for modeling the cognitive processes that underlie the formation of fairness perceptions in the workplace. Nonetheless, imprecise language and scant empirical research limit its ability to further organizational justice research. Therefore, in this dissertation I provide a review and critique of fairness theory suggesting several revisions. I then build upon this revised model to develop a new model of fairness perception formation. The developed model is tested via a laboratory experiment and a field study, both of which provide initial evidence in favor of the proposed model.

(2015): Critical Proximity as a Methodological Move in Techno-Anthropology. In: Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 19 (2), S. 266-290. DOI: 10.5840/techne201591138
Abstract: Techno-Anthropology is a new field, operating with a broad range of methodologies and approaches. This gives rise to the question: What does it mean for Techno-Anthropological research to be critical? In this paper, we discuss this question by developing and specifying the notion of ‘critical proximity.’ Critical proximity offers an alternative to critical distance, especially with respect to avoiding premature references to abstract panoramas such as democratization and capitalist exploitation in the quest to conduct ‘critical’ analysis. Critical proximity implies, instead, granting the beings, fields, and objects we study their own rights and abilities to problematize grand scale claims. Critical proximity further entails that we as researchers are implicated in issues and their formation in ways that allow us to register these critiques and methods, and to emphasize or supplement them. We work through two cases—one on the involvement of users in innovation projects and another on commercial web technologies for tracing issues—to show how critical proximity may be practiced. We sum up the lessons derived in four methodological guidelines for doing research with critical proximity.

(2015): Der „kommunikative Raum“ in der kulturologischen (Un)Höflichkeitsforschung. In: Glottodidactica. An International Journal of Applied Linguistics 40 (1). DOI: 10.14746/gl.2013.40.1.3
Abstract: The paper attempts to define the term "communicative space” for (im)politeness research. “Communicative space” is a crucial notion for the definition of concepts such as “ritual balance”, “discursive rule”, “discursive position”, “territoriality”, “field of action” and “co-construction of communicative interaction” (Jacoby, Ochs 1995). “Communicative space” cannot be reduced to the mere physical space in which an (im)polite communicative interaction takes place (“transactional space” according to Kendon 1990). It is a mental space, which is “co-constructed” in so far as it is the result of the convergence of the mental worlds of interactants mediated by utterences. In this sense it can be defined as a “phenomenal space” which is ruled by structuring principles and field laws. The capacity of creating convergent communicative spaces is a key competence which lays the foundations for dialogue capacity and permits successful communicative interactions; therefore it is defined as a very important educational goal in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (2001).

(2015): Vocative intonation preferences are sensitive to politeness factors. In: Language and speech 58 (1), S. 68-83. DOI: 10.1177/0023830914565441
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/0023830914565441 Abstract: Although intonation has been traditionally associated with the expression of attitudes and intentions on the part of the speaker, little is known about whether sociopragmatic factors, such as power or social distance, or situational ones, like physical distance or insistence, can constrain the use and felicity of pitch contours. This article investigates the felicity conditions underlying the choice of three vocative pitch contours in Central Catalan by means of two experiments, namely a production experiment based on the Discourse Completion Task (320 vocative contours produced by 20 speakers), and an acceptability judgment task in which 72 listeners were asked to rate the appropriateness match between a set of vocative contours and a previous discourse context (3,456 responses). The results from the two experiments show that both situational and social politeness factors govern the choice of vocative intonation. Finally, the results are discussed in line with the traditional classification of politeness strategies defined by Brown and Levinson, in the sense that the three intonation contours can be linked to negative, positive, and bald on-record politeness strategies.

(2015): The Technological Construction of the Self. In: Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 19 (2), S. 211-232. DOI: 10.5840/techne20159936
Abstract: This paper aims at constructing the ontological and epistemological background for a methodology to be applied in Techno-Anthropological reflection and practice. The background is constructed as a patchwork, where structuralism, constructivism and post-phenomenology are woven together in order to support Techno-Anthropological reflection and practice in relation to the construction of the self through and with technology. The paper will specifically address what has been named the morality of things, primarily by Jacques Ellul, Hans Jonas, Michel Foucault and Peter-Paul Verbeek. It is the intent of this paper to point out a direction for an appropriate and value-based Techno-Anthropology. This direction is represented by a codex that here has been coined as the 7 ‘E’s: engagement, empathy, embodiment, enactment, enhancement, empowerment, and emancipation. The paper will conclude by showing how these are connected within a Techno-Anthropological perspective.

(2015) : Emotional and social intelligence and behavior In: Goldstein, Sam; Princiotta, Dana; Naglieri, Jack A.; Goldstein, Sam (Ed); Princiotta, Dana (Ed); Naglieri, Jack A. (Ed) (Hg.): Handbook of intelligence: Evolutionary theory, historical perspective, and current concepts: New York, NY, US: Springer Science + Business Media, S. 243-262
Abstract: Of the various levels at which emotional intelligence (EI) and social intelligence (SI) exist within a person, the behavioral level has received the least amount of attention in academic research but holds the most promise for a concept and measurement approach that relates to job and life outcomes, as well as allowing others to 'see' EI and SI in action. In this chapter, we will review the major models or theories which constitute levels of EI and SI and the tests appearing in research publications. The chapter will then focus on the behavioral level and the measurement at this level currently most in use. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

(2015): Post-Normal Techno-Anthropology. In: Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 19 (2), S. 233-265. DOI: 10.5840/techne20159937
Abstract: This paper identifies, explains, and illustrates the meaning of Post-Normal Techno-Anthropology as a two-step methodological strategy for analyzing policy-relevant scientific dissent in different segments of science, techno-science, and technological innovation. The first step focuses on epistemological and ethical analyses of the dissenting parties’ positions, and identifies conflicting arguments and assumptions on different levels. The second step involves scholarly discussions on how the analyses of policy-relevant scientific dissent can inform decision-makers and science advisors’ phronetic judgments. Dissenting views on climate change of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change is used as an illustrative example.

(2015): Teaching professional and humanistic values. Suggestion for a practical and theoretical model. In: Patient education and counseling 98 (2), S. 162-167. DOI: 10.1016/j.pec.2014.10.022
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25468396 Abstract: OBJECTIVES To suggest and describe a practical and theoretical underpinning for teaching professional and humanistic values. METHODS The author describes four learning methods that together comprise a model for teaching professional and humanistic values. The author defends this model by citing evidence and relevant literature as well as his extensive experience with numerous colleagues in successfully applying the model in large scale programs. RESULTS The combination of teaching methods that comprise the model evolved over 30 years from the experience of several large collaborations with educators in teaching learners at all levels of medical education. The four teaching methods are (1) experiential learning of skills, (2) critical reflection, (3) a supportive group process, and (4) a sufficiently longitudinal curriculum. Together, these methods create a theoretical model with mutually reinforcing elements for enhancing commitment to core values and optimizing professional identity formation. CONCLUSIONS This paper describes the combined model and the methods in detail and reviews evidence favoring incorporation into curricula. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS The combined model educationally enhances core values that underlie the professional identity formation of physicians. The model is practical and generalizable, and should be used by curriulum planners.

(2015): Freie Beiträge. Gemeinschaftsgefühl – (k)ein Geheimnis mit neun Siegeln. In: Zeitschrift für Individualpsychologie 40 (4), S. pp. 368-385.. Online verfügbar unter http://www.v-r.de/de/zeitschrift, zuletzt geprüft am 16.03.2018
Abstract: In his theory of Individual Psychology Adler attached central importance to the concept of social interest. In the community of Individual Psychologists, however, the concept led to a good deal of controversy. In order to bridge this discrepancy, we present in this paper a model of social adaptation using the concept of System Theory. In this model, human thought, action and feeling are related to perception, adaption and experience and then applied to the perspectives, »Me«, »You« and »Us«. Thus, in all, nine aspects of community-oriented social behaviour are derived, which are then combined to make a »Social Matrix«. In the course of children's unconscious learning processes, when they are living in the family where they grow up, only a part of the inherent social potential of an individual can be developed. This shows up as differences in the patterns on the Social Matrix. In this article the author illustrates ways in which the Social Matrix can be correlated to the A dlerian concepts of life-tasks, lifestyle and social interest. By taking specific steps to vary the significance of the fiactors that influence social learning, a new learning process can be initiated with a more balanced and personalised Social Matrix. In this process, social interest can be developed and strengthened. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)

(2015): Emotionally expressive dynamic physical behaviors in robots. In: International Journal of Human-Computer Studies 78, S. 1-16. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijhcs.2015.01.006
DOI: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1071581915000191 Abstract: For social robots to respond to humans in an appropriate manner, they need to use apt affect displays, revealing underlying emotional intelligence. We present an artificial emotional intelligence system for robots, with both a generative and a perceptual aspect. On the generative side, we explore the expressive capabilities of an abstract, faceless, creature-like robot, with very few degrees of freedom, lacking both facial expressions and the complex humanoid design found often in emotionally expressive robots. We validate our system in a series of experiments: in one study, we find an advantage in classification for animated vs static affect expressions and advantages in valence and arousal estimation and personal preference ratings for both animated vs static and physical vs on-screen expressions. In a second experiment, we show that our parametrically generated expression variables correlate with the intended user affect perception. Combining the generative system with a perceptual component of natural language sentiment analysis, we show in a third experiment that our automatically generated affect responses cause participants to show signs of increased engagement and enjoyment compared with arbitrarily chosen comparable motion parameters.

(2015): Normative Guidance and Theory of Mind. In: RAGION PRATICA 44 (1), S. 103-129
Abstract: Normative guidance is a way of influencing others' behaviour which operates through the mind (through mental states and processes such as norm understanding, normative reasoning, belief in norm's validity, choice to follow it, etc.). Knowledge of the relevant aspects of the mind has therefore a clear importance in order to improve normative guidance ( increase its efficacy, rationalize it, moralize it, etc.). But the study of the relationship between mind and normativity is a too wide field, impossible to explore in its entirety: selection criteria are needed. In this article I propose some contributions to their elaboration. First, I point out the "phenomenon of normativity" (meant as the conscious experience of norms) as the general scope of the theories of mind relevant for normative guidance, offering a rough sketch of it. Second, I show how, inside this general scope, the theories of mind preferable for the purposes of normative guidance are not necessarily the best one from a scientific point of view. Thirdly, I explore in this light the possible relevance of "Eliminativism", i.e. the thesis, discussed in the philosophy of mind, that folk psychology concepts, such as propositional attitudes, misrepresent the mind, and that theories of mind built on the folk psychology framework are therefore bad scientific theories to be given up in favour of theories framed with totally different concepts, which could be provided by the neurosciences.

(2015): Understanding social norms and constitutive rules. Perspectives from developmental psychology and philosophy. In: Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences 14 (4), S. 699-718. DOI: 10.1007/s11097-015-9426-y
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11097-015-9426-y Abstract: An experimental paradigm that purports to test young children’s understanding of social norms is examined. The paradigm models norms on Searle’s notion of a constitutive rule. The experiments and the reasons provided for their design are discussed. It is argued that the experiments do not provide direct evidence about the development of social norms and that the concepts of a social norm and constitutive rule are distinct. The experimental data are re-interpreted, and suggestions for how to deal with the present criticism are presented that do not require abandoning the paradigm as such. Then the conception of normativity that underlies the experimental paradigm is rejected and an alternative view is put forward. It is argued that normativity emerges from interaction and engagement, and that learning to comply with social norms involves understanding the distinction between their content, enforcement, and acceptance. As opposed to rule-based accounts that picture the developm ent of an understanding of social norms as one-directional and based in enforcement, the present view emphasizes that normativity is situated, reciprocal, and interactive.

(2015): The Cultural Significance of a Smile. In: YOUNG 23 (2), S. 154-170. DOI: 10.1177/1103308815569388
Abstract: This article explores meaning-making in Norwegian youth sport. More specifically, how sport media becomes a tool in the instruction of youth athletes. Throughout the 2011-12 season I observed how coaches used portrayals of elite women handballers to educate their 13-year-old girl athletes. Depictions of smiling women were used in contextual attempts to convey the pragmatic benefits of smiling girls. I apply cultural sociology to investigate the processes where coaches mobilize and mould media depictions to inform youth's sport praxis. The account shows why and how the smile's pragmatics is shaped by and shape broad conceptions of youth, sport and gender. Analysis reveals that the smile encourages what the coaches perceive as appropriate strategies towards success. The cultural significance of the smile resides within its capacities to better the performance, to resolve tensions in team hierarchies and allow appropriate displays of aggression in girl handball.

(2015) : Politeness and Language In: Wright, James D.: International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences (Second Edition): Oxford: Elsevier, S. 326-330
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-08-097086-8.53072-4 Abstract: This article assesses the advantages and limitations of three different approaches to the analysis of politeness in language: politeness as social rules, politeness as adherence to an expanded set ofGricean Maxims, and politeness as strategic attention to ‘face.’ It argues that only the last can account for the observable commonalities in polite expressions across diverse languages and cultures, and positions the analysis of politeness as strategic attention to face in the modern context of attention to the evolutionary origins and nature of human cooperation.

(2015): Studying Social Robots in Practiced Places. In: Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 19 (2), S. 143-165. DOI: 10.5840/techne20159833
Abstract: What is the strength of anthropological fieldwork when we want to understand human technologies? In this article we argue that anthropological fieldwork can be understood as a process of gaining insight into different contextualisations in practiced places that will open up new understandings of technologies in use, e.g., technologies as multistable ontologies. The argument builds on an empirical study of robots at a Danish rehabilitation centre. Ethnographic methods combined with anthropological learning processes open up new way for exploring how robots enter into professional practices and change values, social relations and materialities. Though substantial funding has been invested in developing health service robots, few studies have been undertaken that explore human-robot interactions as they play out in everyday practice. We argue that the complex learning processes involve not only so-called end-users but also staff, management, doings and discourse in a complex amalgamation of materials and values.

(2015): Psychological characteristics of the rules of subordination within the cultural and historical analysis. In: Cultural-Historical Psychology 11 (4), S. 89-95. DOI: 10.17759/chp.2015110408
DOI: https://doi.org/10.17759/chp.2015110408 Abstract: The article examines the psychology of submission. Given psychological characteristic standards of submission historically embodied in the moral codes and legal sources. The subject of analysis are historical regulations XII—XX centuries, the customs, in which the fixed rate of submission, as well as the memoir literature. There are four basic psychological lines of development in the history of the rules of subordination, in particular: a special regulation of the rules of subordination and increasing social importance of the role of subordinate. It is proved that psychological acceptance of a subordinate role and the satisfaction of its implementation includes the requirement of special rules regulating authority and emphasis on the social importance of the role of subordinate. It was established that one of the reasons that the job satisfaction of employees of state structures higher than employees of private companies, a large schema definition of relations with man agement. Hierarchical role is considered in terms of two components: the role of attributes and rules, rules of conduct. The article focuses on the fact that the individual external signs, locking status subordination, increase the level of self-esteem of subordinate.

(2015): Die Auswirkungen geschlechts(un)typischer Berufstätigkeiten auf die Aufteilung der Hausarbeit in Partnerschaften. In: KOLNER ZEITSCHRIFT FUR SOZIOLOGIE UND SOZIALPSYCHOLOGIE 67 (3), S. 475-507. DOI: 10.1007/s11577-015-0334-5
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11577-015-0334-5 Abstract: This article examines the role occupational sex segregation of both partners' jobs plays for the division of domestic labour in German dual-earner couples. To explain this relationship we contrast resource-based arguments and theories of gender role socialization with arguments from processes of 'Doing Gender' and the compensation hypothesis. Analyses with data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (1993-2011) suggest that women compensate a deviance from traditional gender roles by taking over more typically 'feminine tasks' (such as washing, cooking, cleaning), whereas men seem to compensate this deviance by doing more typically 'masculine tasks' (such as house repairs). In general, latter tasks are performed most seldom if a person works in a gender-balanced occupation. Apparently, deviance from traditional gender roles in context of the labour market is relevant for women as well as for men. This deviance is compensated mainly by household tasks that are traditionally ascribed to their gender. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved) zitiert von 4

DOI: http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1081941 Abstract: In Deconstructing Ethnography the authors show how ‘new’ calls are returning systems design to ‘old’ and problematic ways of understanding the social. They argue that systems design can be appropriately grounded in the social through the ordinary methods that members use to order their actions and interactions. This work is written for post-graduate students and researchers alike, as well as design practitioners who have an interest in bringing the social to bear on design in a systematic rather than a piecemeal way. This is not a ‘how to’ book, but instead elaborates the foundations upon which the social can be systematically built into the design of ubiquitous and interactive systems

(2015): (Un)expected behavior. Some general issues and a papal example. In: Journal of Pragmatics 86, S. 19-24. DOI: 10.1016/j.pragma.2015.06.008
Abstract: The definitional debate as to which concept - politeness or appropriateness - it to be chosen as the superordinate one is far from over in politeness studies. In this paper I will raise the question of whether unexpectedness could be a candidate as the encompassing category. I will also tackle two related issues: that of unexpected behavior as a marked choice in a given context, and that of the relevance of the emotive aspects of interaction to the construction of the context. To this end, I will advance the hypothesis that the following notions can together help understand interaction functioning: (a) the interplay/co-variance among different interactional parameters (Caffi, 2001, 2007), (b) the divergence of different kinds of expectations from anticipatory schemata (Caffi and Janney, 1994), and (c) the notion of interactional temperature (an extension of Watzlawick et al.'s, 1967 thermostat metaphor). After some preliminary remarks meant to illustrate the above-mentioned points, I will discuss an example of unexpected behavior, Pope Francis's first greeting after his election.
