(2019): Towards ethical guidelines of using telepresence robots in residential care. In: International Journal of Social Robotics, S. 1-9. DOI: 10.1007/s12369-019-00529-8
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s12369-019-00529-8 Abstract: Robotic telepresence is a potential technology to help alleviating the loneliness of elderly people. The impacts of long-term use of telepresence robots in residential care are not well known. We were interested in how using a telepresence robot influences the resident, family members and care workers at a facility, and what challenges and solutions there are for wider adoption of such robots in residential care. With a telepresence robot Double, we arranged a series of three trials in two separate residential care facilities: one 12-week trial in a private facility and two successive 6-week trials in a public facility. In each trial, we installed the telepresence robot in a room of a long-term care home resident for communicating with her/his family members. Based on the results, telepresence robots do increase presence and possibly engagement of family members in residential care, but privacy is a central concern. The mobility of a telepresence robot is hard to utilize in residential care, and to be able to do so, ethical consideration and guidelines are needed. We provide a draft of such ethical guidelines.

(2007): Review of Social intelligence. The new science of social relationships. In: South African Journal of Psychology 37 (3), S. 663-665. DOI: 10.1177/008124630703700318
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/008124630703700318 Abstract: Reviews the book, Social Intelligence: The New Science of Social Relationships by Daniel Goleman (see record [rid]2006-13172-000[/rid]). The book proposes the concept of social intelligence, its components and forms of socially unhealthy behavior within a multidisciplinary perspective. The major strength of the book is the attempt to integrate research in fields such as developmental psychology, social psychology, neuroscience, and evolution, within the nexus of social intelligence. The primary tenet of the book revolves around the biological basis of socially healthy behavior and forms of maladaptive behavior such as Machiavellianism and narcissism. The author argues that attributes of human behavior have been fragmented into separate parts such as social intelligence and emotional intelligence, and that there is a need to consider the cognitive, affective, behavioral, and biological aspects within anintegrative discourse. The book contains interesting aspects of the biological underpinning of various aspects of social intelligence. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
