(2015): Developmental social robotics. An applied perspective. In: International Journal of Social Robotics 7 (4), S. 417-420. DOI: 10.1007/s12369-015-0312-0
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s12369-015-0312-0 Abstract: This article provides an overview of the special issue on developmental social robotics. The aim of this special issue is not to contribute in the understanding of fundamental process of social development. The focus is to identify and address some of the important milestones, steps, and building blocks of development of social intelligence, and how to adapt, extend and apply them into robotics by identifying as well as addressing the underlying research and development (R&D) challenges when combination of such blocks should be functioning together. The special issue consists of high quality research papers along three broader categories: (i) Methodologies for embodiment of some basic social developmental blocks (ii) User perception, evaluation and design guidelines for social embodiment of robots with some basic social developmental blocks (iii) Potential societal applications of social robots embodied with some of the social developmental blocks. This special issue has touched an important aspect of developmental robotics: the applied side in the domain of social robotics. The special issue incorporates a balance of high quality research papers on embodiment mechanisms, evaluations, design guidelines and applications of some of the fundamental building blocks and capabilities constituting the development of social intelligence.

(2015): AUDIENCE-MODULATED VARIATION IN ONLINE SOCIAL MEDIA. In: American Speech 90 (2), S. 187-213. DOI: 10.1215/00031283-3130324
Abstract: Stylistic variation in online social media writing is well attested: for example, geographical analysis of the social media service Twitter has replicated isoglosses for many known lexical variables from speech, while simultaneously revealing a wealth of new geographical lexical variables, including emoticons, phonetic spellings, and phrasal abbreviations. However, less is known about the SOCIAL role of variation in online writing. This article examines online writing variation in the context of audience design, focusing on affordances offered by Twitter that allow users to modulate a message's intended audience. We find that the frequency of nonstandard lexical variables is inversely related to the size of the intended audience: as writers target smaller audiences, the frequency of lexical variables increases. In addition, these variables are more often used in messages that are addressed to individuals who are known to be geographically local. This phenomenon holds not only for geographically differentiated lexical variables, but also for nonstandard variables that are widely used throughout the United States. These findings suggest that users of social media are attuned to both the nature of their audience and the social meaning of lexical variation and that they customize their self-presentation accordingly.

(2015): The Festive Frame. Festivals as Mediators for Social Change. In: Ethnos 81 (4), S. 600-616. DOI: 10.1080/00141844.2014.989869
Abstract: Building on Erwin Goffman's (1974) notion of frame, the article approaches the festive' as a socially produced conceptual structure by means of which people organize their perception of and participation in the world. Picking up on the epistemic threats initially developed in early French sociology, it explores the ability of different elements and forms of the festive' to act as mediator for social change.

(2015): Framing Event Variables. In: ERKENNTNIS 80, S. 31-60
Abstract: I find myself writing two papers that are due around the same time. This one develops an objection, based on Davidson’s (1967a) analysis of action reports, to truth-theoretic accounts of linguistic meaning. The other one is about the relevance of Liar Paradoxes for such accounts; see Pietroski (forthcoming). In both papers, the first numbered sentence is (1). (1) The first numbered sentence in “Framing Event Variables ” is false. But here, (1) is simply a reminder of a familiar difficulty for the idea that declarative sentences of a Human Language have truth conditions; where for these purposes, a Human Language is a spoken or signed language that any biologically normal child can acquire given an ordinary course of linguistic experience. In my view, (2) and (3) present further difficulties for this idea. (2) Alvin chased Theodore gleefully and athletically but not skillfully. (3) Theodore chased Alvin gleelessly and unathletically but skillfully. Following Davidson and others, I think action reports have “eventish ” logical forms like (2a-3a).

(2015): Intra and inter-individual differences in social intelligence of Portuguese students. In: Paidéia 25 (61), S. 153-161. DOI: 10.1590/1982-43272561201503
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1590/1982-43272561201503 Abstract: Social intelligence is a favorable condition for career decision-making and development. The social intelligence indices of Portuguese students in school years prior to a career transition are characterized and intra and interindividual differences are analyzed. Participants were 1095 students (552, 50.4% women) with a mean age of 14.78 years (SD = 1.86), in the 8th (542, 49.5%), 10th (295, 26.9%) and 11th (258, 23.6%) grades. The Cognitive Test of Social Intelligence (PCIS) was administered at two moments, six months apart. Results indicate that the 8th grade obtained higher average scores in Problem Solving, Motivation and Self-confidence (time 1), while the 10th grade obtained better results in Problem Solving, Motivation and Familiarity (time 2). Between the assessment moments, all school years register an increase in Problem Solving and Self-confidence in social situations. These results constitute favorable psychological conditions for the promotion of ethical questioning in career guidance interventions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

(2015): Decorum and the Meanings of Materials in Triumphal Architecture of Republican Rome. In: JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS 74 (3), S. 289-311
Abstract: In Decorum and the Meanings of Materials in Triumphal Architecture of Republican Rome, Maggie L. Popkin argues that the literal and figurative values of materials in republican triumphal architecture stemmed from complex interactions among patron, architect, audience, and sociohistorical context. Several case studies—the Temple of Fortuna Equestris, the Porticus Metelli, the Round Temple on the Tiber, and Temple B in the Area Sacra di Largo Argentina—demonstrate that the juxtaposition of multiple materials, changing historical circumstances, and new groups of viewers resulted in constantly shifting meanings of materials in republican architecture. The Roman notion of decorum helps explain the shifting uses and valuations of materials. Factors such as the monument’s patron, the event that sparked its construction, its location, the monument type, the availability of materials, and the intended audiences affected the choice of materials and their intended and perceived meanings, which had rich conceptual and imaginative potential to evoke Roman conquest, piety, and spectacle.

(2015): Neural learning of the topographic tactile sensory information of an artificial skin through a self-organizing map. In: Advanced Robotics 29 (21), S. 1393-1409. DOI: 10.1080/01691864.2015.1092395
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/01691864.2015.1092395 Abstract: The sense of touch is considered as an essential feature for robots in order to improve the quality of their physical and social interactions. For instance, tactile devices have to be fast enough to interact in real time, robust against noise to process rough sensory information as well as adaptive to represent the structure and topography of a tactile sensor itself ? i.e. the shape of the sensor surface and its dynamic resolution. In this paper, we conducted experiments with a self-organizing map neural network that adapts to the structure of a tactile sheet and spatial resolution of the input tactile device; this adaptation is faster and more robust against noise than image reconstruction techniques based on electrical impedance tomography. Other advantages of this bio-inspired reconstruction algorithm are its simple mathematical formulation and the ability to self-calibrate its topographical organization without any a priori information about the input dynamics. Our results show that the spatial patterns of simple and multiple contact points can be acquired and localized with enough speed and precision for pattern recognition tasks during physical contact.

(2015) : Research ethics in human-computer interaction: A review of ethical concerns in the past five years: 2015 2nd National Foundation for Science and Technology Development Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS): Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: IEEE, S. 180-185
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/NICS.2015.7302187 Abstract: In recent years, novel technologies have been introduced to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research community. Research contexts and the range of studies have been widen. As technology progresses, new ethical issues are posed. This paper examined and reviewed ethical issues and concerns in recent HCI research. An overview of the existing codes of conduct was also provided, in order to get clear a comprehension on the existing concerns in research protocols. The review focused on top-twenty conference series and journals in HCI, published during 2010-June 2015. The purpose was to comprehend the latest ethical issues from the premier work in HCI research community. Altogether 13 categories of ethical concerns were identified. Some of them were consistent with the existing codes, while some of the issues were specific to HCI research. There were some identified issues that should be accentuated, as they currently were not in any of the existing codes.

(2015): What does your selfie say about you?. In: Computers in Human Behavior 52, S. 443-449. DOI: 10.1016/j.chb.2015.06.032
Abstract: Selfies refer to self-portraits taken by oneself using a digital camera or a smartphone. They become increasingly popular in social media. However, little is known about how selfies reflect their owners' personality traits and how people judge others' personality from selfies. In this study, we examined the association between selfies and personality by measuring participants' Big Five personality and coding their selfies posted on a social networking site. We found specific cues in selfies related to agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness. We also examined zero-acquaintance personality judgment and found that observers had moderate to strong agreement in their ratings of Big Five personality based on selfies. However, they could only accurately predict selfie owners' degree of openness. This study is the first to reveal personality-related cues in selfies and provide a picture-coding scheme that can be used to analyze selfies. We discussed the difference between personality expression in selfies and other types of photos, and its possible relationship with impression management of social media users.

(2015): DATA DRIVEN NARCISSISM: HOW WILL 'Big Data' FEED BACK ON US. In: Journal of Consciousness Studies (22.9/10), S. 215-228
Abstract: How do 'big data' affect us as psychological beings? In this paper I argue that the user-specific contents spawned by analyses of massive data sets obtained by transaction data and online marketing software agents of Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. must tend to reinforce the respective user's 'self-image'. As long as this man-machine feedback loop is not interrupted by purposeful manipulation, it will thus lead to a general behaviour schematization enabling a yet more precise consumer prediction and so forth. The final result may be a population that is maximally predictable while at the same time each individual of that population may feel maximally singular. Is such a social end state heaven — or is it hell?

(2015): The designer as producer. Some thoughts on the idea of social responsibility in contemporary design. In: OBRA DIGITAL-REVISTA DE COMUNICACION (9), S. 28-41
Abstract: This text aims to reflect upon the wide range of "responsible" alternatives generated by design culture from the 1960s onwards, as opposed to the techno-centered, market-led model that has long dominated professional design practice. The re-reading of these perspectives in the light of Walter Benjamin's notion of author as producer allows us to underline the fundamental principles constituting the common ground for responsible, contemporary designers, defined as intellectual as well as material workers, who are capable of considering all the ethical, social, political, and cultural implications of their activity.

(2015): Sentilo. Frame-Based Sentiment Analysis. In: COGNITIVE COMPUTATION 7 (2), S. 211-225
Abstract: Sentilo is an unsupervised, domain-independent system that performs sentiment analysis by hybridizing natural language processing techniques and semantic Web technologies. Given a sentence expressing an opinion, Sentilo recognizes its holder, detects the topics and subtopics that it targets, links them to relevant situations and events referred to by it and evaluates the sentiment expressed on each topic/subtopic. Sentilo relies on a novel lexical resource, which enables a proper propagation of sentiment scores from topics to subtopics, and on a formal model expressing the semantics of opinion sentences. Sentilo provides its output as a RDF graph, and whenever possible it resolves holders’ and topics’ identity on Linked Data.

(2015): A framework for constructing cognition ontologies using WordNet, FrameNet, and SUMO. In: COGNITIVE SYSTEMS RESEARCH 33, S. 122-144
Abstract: Psychoinformatics is an emerging discipline that uses tools from the information sciences to organize psychological data. This article supports that objective by proposing a framework for constructing cognition ontologies by using WordNet, FrameNet, and the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO). The first section describes the major characteristics of each of these tools. WordNet is a large lexical data base that was begun in the 1980s by George Miller. FrameNet is a database of event schemas based on a theory of frame semantics developed by the linguist Charles Fillmore. SUMO is a formal ontology of concepts expressed in mathematical logic that supports deductive reasoning. The next section discusses the objectives of science ontologies and includes examples for psychoses and for emotion. The article then describes potential applications of cognition ontologies for (1) studying how people organize knowledge, (2) analyzing major theoretical concepts such as abstraction, and (3) formulating premises that can serve as a link between informal taxonomies and formal ontologies. The final section discusses extending cognition ontologies to related domains such as artificial intelligence and cognitive neuroscience.

(2015) : Perception of Affective Body Movements in HRI across Age Groups: Comparison between Results from Denmark and Japan: 2015 International Conference on Culture and Computing (Culture Computing): Kyoto, Japan: IEEE, S. 25-32
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/Culture.and.Computing.2015.14 Abstract: Social robots are envisioned to move into unrestricted environments where they will be interacting with naive users (in terms of their experience as robot operators). Thus, these robots are also envisioned to exploit interaction channels that are natural to humans like speech, gestures, or body movements. A specificity of these interaction channels is that humans do not only convey task-related information but also more subtle information like e.g. Emotions or personal stance through these channels. Thus, to be successful and not accidentally jeopardizing an interaction, robots need to be able to understand these implicit connotations of the signals (often called social signal processing) in order to generate appropriate signals in a given interaction context. One main application area that is envisioned for social robots is related to elder care, but little is known on how seniors will perceive robots and the signals they produce. In this paper we focus on affective connotations of body movements and investigate how the perception of body movements of robots is related to age. Inspired by a study from Japan, we introduce culture as a variable in the experiment and discuss the difficulties of cross-cultural comparisons. The results show that there are certain age-related differences in the perception of affective body movements, but not as strong as in the original study. A follow up experiment puts the affective body movements into context and shows that recognition rates deteriorate for older participants.

(2015): The recognition of moral issues. Moral awareness, moral sensitivity and moral attentiveness. In: Current Opinion in Psychology 6, S. 114-117. DOI: 10.1016/j.copsyc.2015.07.007
Abstract: In this brief review, we discuss foundational and recent research on the recognition of moral issues, an area generally referred to as moral awareness. Scholarly work in this area primarily focuses on three constructs: moral awareness, moral sensitivity, and moral attentiveness. Recent research on the antecedents of moral recognition has identified several biological, psychological, and socio-cultural factors; while research on the consequences of moral recognition is further validating the claims of the foundational theories on the topic. After discussing this recent work in some detail, we point to issues within the field that demand more scholarly attention.

(2015): "Lo siento, pero me parecen horribles!!!": Pragmalinguistic analysis of impoliteness in the Facebook social network. In: REVISTA DE FILOLOGIA DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE LA LAGUNA 33, S. 217-236
Abstract: This paper focuses on analyzing the strategies of impoliteness displayed on two corpora of publications extracted from the social network Facebook. To this purpose, theoretical models about impoliteness designed by Culpeper (1996, 2005) and Culpeper, Bousfield and Wichmann (2003), Kientpointner (1997, 2008), Kaul (2005, 2008) and Ridao (2009) have been studied. From this analysis, two main conclusions were obtained. On one hand, the absence of hurtful impoliteness in private profiles examined, in contrast to the presence of strategies of direct impoliteness in public profiles. On the other hand, the need to analyze impoliteness in social networks taking into account these variables: direction or indirection, intentional or not intentional, membership of the damaged image (sender or receiver), low or high group connection, degree of hierarchy and familiarity

(2015): The prosocial versus proself power holder. How power influences sacrifice in romantic relationships. In: Personality & social psychology bulletin 41 (6), S. 779-790. DOI: 10.1177/0146167215579054
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/0146167215579054 Abstract: Romantic partners often have to sacrifice their interests to benefit their partner or to maintain the relationship. In the present work, we investigated whether relative power within the relationship plays an important role in determining the extent to which partners are likely to sacrifice. Drawing from both classic theories and recent research on power, we tested two competing predictions on the relationship between power and sacrifice in romantic relationships. We tested whether (a) power is negatively related to sacrifice and (b) power is positively related to sacrifice. Furthermore, we also explored whether the association between power and sacrifice is moderated by commitment and inclusion of the other in the self. To test our hypotheses, we used different methodologies, including questionnaires, diary studies, and videotaped interactions. Results across the five studies (N = 1,088) consistently supported the hypothesis that power is negatively related to tendencies to sacrifice in close relationships. zitiert von 21

(2015): Focusing on deadlines. How orientation to time is a constitutive normative constraint at meetings in media organizations. In: Time & Society 24 (2), S. 183-200. DOI: 10.1177/0961463X15577261
Abstract: This article deals with the orientation to time and deadlines at morning meetings in news organisations. Time is a central structuring factor at the meetings, and the prevailing norm of ensuring progression and keeping the deadline of the meeting constitutes important normative constraints on the meeting. The study shows how deadlines are pursued through verbal and non-verbal interaction, and how progression is achieved in a subtle way in order to handle issues of impoliteness or losing face.
