(2016): Editorial: Understanding Social Signals: How Do We Recognize the Intentions of Others?. In: Frontiers in psychology 7. DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00281
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00281 Abstract: Humans interact with each other seamlessly, smoothly, and without obvious effort. Social signals are the basis of this highly effective communication. These signals are speech utterances, body movements such as gestures, manipulations of objects, and combinations thereof. For example, interlocutors typically position themselves in an F-formation (Goffman, 1963; Ciolek and Kendon, 1980; Kendon, 1990) and thereby signal to each other that they are part of that interaction. If another participant joins that interaction, the interlocutors integrate her in a new F-formation. The movements of each individual were comparably inconspicuous, but the intention for producing them was easily recognizable to the recipient. Humans use these signals intuitively and without conscious awareness. But in order to enable a robot to understand and respond appropriately to social signals, their form and function have to be made explicit. This research topic presents methods for identifying, understanding, and applying social signals in human–machine interaction.

(2012): Designing awareness systems for social connectedness – A field study approach into theoretical foundations, design principles and evaluation. Online verfügbar unter https://repository.tudelft.nl/islandora/object/uuid:a79c4534-6681-4a27-aa1a-e76ccb1c2c35, zuletzt geprüft am 11.05.2018
DOI: https://repository.tudelft.nl/islandora/object/uuid:a79c4534-6681-4a27-aa1a-e76ccb1c2c35 Abstract: Being in touch, and being aware of the people in one’s social network strongly contributes to one’s sense of social well-being. As communication technology has become more ubiquitous, it is possible to always be in touch with friends and relatives in the periphery of one’s attention, e.g. through instant messaging and online social networks. This research investigated the effect of such social information on people’s sense of connectedness. Also, it was studied how such communication application can be integrated into the fabric of our everyday life as awareness systems. It was found that despite the subtlety, mediated social awareness has a measurable effect on social connectedness. Also, the findings strongly suggest that ambiguity in social cues is a strong enabler of the feeling of being connected. These findings may help designers of social network applications and products to more effectively design for increased social connectedness.
