(2007): What's in an FTA?. Reflections on a chance meeting with Claudine. In: Journal of Politeness Research. Language, Behaviour, Culture 3 (2). DOI: 10.1515/PR.2007.011
Abstract: This paper is about face-threatening acts (FTAs). It upholds the usefulness of the general concept as first introduced by Brown and Levinson but presents a different view of (1) what an FTA is and how it arises and (2) how to gauge the relative severity of one. Regarding (1), it argues that no act is intrinsically face-threatening and that FTAs cannot be equated with speech acts. They can only be identified in the context of the ongoing interaction. An FTA, it is suggested, is simply any move which predicates a change in face. However, its ultimate identification rests with interactants. With regard to (2), the paper demonstrates that Brown and Levinson's 'weightiness' formula does not work. It is suggested that the severity of an FTA is the product of two factors: the amount of face-change it predicates and the amount of salience accorded to face at the time. But the values of these factors are also ultimately determined by participant reactions. Both matters are addressed largely through the close examination of one particular moment in one particular encounter.

Abstract: Today there is a large movement towards creating social and cognitive robots. Today there is research aiming at using robots as care support as well as social agents introduced in geriatric care and home care. Much of the research is aimed at the development of cognitive and social agents, since robot agents are considered to need ways of interacting with the people in the surrounding areas. In this perspective it is necessary to start thinking of robots not only in terms of social, cognitive or sociable, but also of socially acceptable. What are the requirements for a socially acceptable robot, and which properties in a robot provide for making it more or less acceptable as part of a social environment? In this paper a set of tentative acceptance properties is presented, together with the results from a pilot study trying to assess the importance of some of these properties for the social acceptance of domestic service robots.

(2007): Boundary Issues in Academia. Student Perceptions of Faculty—Student Boundary Crossings. In: Ethics & Behavior 17 (2), S. 117-129. DOI: 10.1080/10508420701378065
Abstract: Boundary crossings in academia are rarely addressed by university policy despite the risk of problematic or unethical faculty—student interactions. This study contributes to an understanding of undergraduate college student perceptions of appropriateness of faculty—student nonsexual interactions by investigating the influence of gender and ethnicity on student judgments of the appropriateness of numerous hypothetical interactions. Overall, students deemed the majority of interactions as inappropriate. Female students judged a number of interactions as more inappropriate than did male students, and with a few exceptions, Mexican American and Anglo American students were similar in their ratings of the appropriateness of faculty—student interactions. These findings suggest that universities need to be proactive in establishing guidelines concerning faculty-student boundary crossings.

(2007) : Entertaining In: R. Margulis, Alexander: The Road to Success: Burlington: Academic Press, S. 79-84
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-012370587-7/50019-0 Abstract: Publisher Summary There are certain rules for entertaining colleagues, subordinates, and seniors in a professional atmosphere. Entertaining means sharing one's privacy, time, and hospitality with other people. There is a great difference between private and business-related entertaining. As you ascend in your career the latter becomes more frequent, and doing it well assumes increasing importance. The chapter discusses the rules of entertaining, which change depending on who one has to entertain. The basic rule states that one should not appear snobbish, miserly, or extravagant while entertaining professional guests. Moreover, one should not lose touch of one's own tastes and identity. This chapter is divided into different sections that outline ways to entertain superiors at a restaurant, entertain superiors at home, plan lunches with superiors, entertain equals, and entertain subordinates. It also discusses the rules of presenting and accepting gifts from colleagues. Entertainment has its own rules when it comes to entertaining at a professional level. One should conform to them in order to maintain decorum and dignity at the workplace.

(2007): Familiale Kontexte und sozial-emotionale Entwicklung. In: KINDHEIT UND ENTWICKLUNG 16 (4), S. 199-208. DOI: 10.1026/0942-5403.16.4.199
Abstract: The various behavioral domains of childhood social development and the most prominent domains in the socialization process are summarized, i.e., significant characteristics of immediate family members, social and societal environment, attachment behavior, parenting behavior, and couple relationship qualities. For each domain, a short state-of-the-art overview is provided, and significant relationships with the social development of children are described. It is concluded that a description of possible developmental processes calls for multivariate longitudinal studies modeling the interplay of the various domains over time, as well as the study of possible relationships or overlap between concepts in various domains, e.g., sensitivity in the domain of attachment and parenting behavior.

(2007): Enhancing a classroom social competence and problem-solving curriculum by offering parent training to families of moderate- to high-risk elementary school children. In: Journal of clinical child and adolescent psychology : the official journal for the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, American Psychological Association, Division 53 36 (4), S. 605-620. DOI: 10.1080/15374410701662741
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18088218 Abstract: The Incredible Years parent and classroom interventions were evaluated for the first time in elementary schools. Culturally diverse, socioeconomically disadvantaged schools were randomly assigned to intervention or control (CON). In intervention schools, all children received a 2-year classroom intervention beginning in kindergarten. In addition, indicated children were randomly assigned to also receive parent training (PT + CR) or only the classroom intervention (CR). PT + CR mothers reported that, following intervention, children showed fewer externalizing problems and more emotion regulation than CR or CON children. Observations showed that child-mother bonding was stronger in the PT + CR condition than in the CON condition, and PT + CR mothers were significantly more supportive and less critical than CR or CON mothers. Teachers reported that PT + CR mothers were significantly more involved in school and that children in the PT + CR and the CR conditions had significantly fewer externalizing problems than in the CON condition.

(2007): Emotional and interpersonal competencies and leader development. In: Human Resource Management Review 17 (4), S. 418-426. DOI: 10.1016/j.hrmr.2007.08.008
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hrmr.2007.08.008 Abstract: A variety of recent leader development programs have focused on improving leaders' emotional and interpersonal competencies. Decades of leadership research suggest that these “people skills” are crucial for leader effectiveness. This paper reviews the history of these leader development programs as well as research on emotional and interpersonal competencies. Suggestions for grounding leader development programs in sound research on emotional and social competencies, as well as an agenda for future research on the development of leader emotional and interpersonal skills, are provided.

(2007): Cognition in emotion. An investigation through experiences with art. Amsterdam; New York: Rodopi (Consciousness, literature & the arts). Online verfügbar unter http://site.ebrary.com/lib/academiccompletetitles/home.action
Abstract: Emotions are essential for human existence, both lighting the way toward the brightest of achievements and setting the course into the darkness of suffering. Not surprisingly, then, emotion research is currently one of the hottest topics in the field of psychology. Yet to divine the nature of emotion is a complex and extensive task. In this book emotions are approached thought an exploration of the nature of cognition in emotion; the nature of thoughts in feelings. Different approaches to emotions are explored, from brain research to research at the level of experience, and it is argued that a

(2007): Humour in business. A double-edged sword. In: Journal of Pragmatics 39 (1), S. 4-28. DOI: 10.1016/j.pragma.2006.09.005
Abstract: This paper discusses the use of humour in a series of intercultural business meetings. The findings of the study show that humour is present in all meetings but the frequency and tone of the humour varies with the style of the meetings. Indeed shifts in style between formality and informality are a common feature of the meetings and humour is one of several interactive strategies which cluster together to mark these shifts towards greater informality. It appears that these style shifts and the humour within them can be used strategically to show solidarity and power, particularly by the dominant 'in-group' of western, male participants. It is suggested that, in these meetings, humour acts as a 'double-edged sword' being used to both positive and negative effect: facilitating, on the one hand, collaboration and inclusion and, on the other, collusion and exclusion.

(2007): The Effects of Homeownership. On the Self-Esteem, Perceived Control and Life Satisfaction of Low-Income People. In: Journal of the American Planning Association 60 (2), S. 173-184. DOI: 10.1080/01944369408975571
Abstract: A variety of claims have been made concerning the social benefits of homeownership. This paper describes research designed to assess the impacts of homeownership on the self-esteem, perceived control and life satisfaction of low-income persons. The longitudinal study assessed changes in these three constructs, pre- and post ownership, and compared them to those in a control group of continuing renters. The findings indicate that, relative to the control group, those in the homeowner group did not experience a significant increase in self-esteem or sense of control. They did, however, experience a significant increase in life satisfaction. Moreover, housing condition, regardless of tenure, was found to influence both self-esteem and life satisfaction. The policy implications of the results are discussed.

(2007): The representation of information about faces in the temporal and frontal lobes. In: Neuropsychologia 45 (1), S. 124-143. DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2006.04.019
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16797609 Abstract: Neurophysiological evidence is described showing that some neurons in the macaque inferior temporal visual cortex have responses that are invariant with respect to the position, size and view of faces and objects, and that these neurons show rapid processing and rapid learning. Which face or object is present is encoded using a distributed representation in which each neuron conveys independent information in its firing rate, with little information evident in the relative time of firing of different neurons. This ensemble encoding has the advantages of maximising the information in the representation useful for discrimination between stimuli using a simple weighted sum of the neuronal firing by the receiving neurons, generalisation and graceful degradation. These invariant representations are ideally suited to provide the inputs to brain regions such as the orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala that learn the reinforcement associations of an individual's face, for then the learning, and the appropriate social and emotional responses, generalise to other views of the same face. A theory is described of how such invariant representations may be produced in a hierarchically organised set of visual cortical areas with convergent connectivity. The theory proposes that neurons in these visual areas use a modified Hebb synaptic modification rule with a short-term memory trace to capture whatever can be captured at each stage that is invariant about objects as the objects change in retinal view, position, size and rotation. Another population of neurons in the cortex in the superior temporal sulcus encodes other aspects of faces such as face expression, eye gaze, face view and whether the head is moving. These neurons thus provide important additional inputs to parts of the brain such as the orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala that are involved in social communication and emotional behaviour. Outputs of these systems reach the amygdala, in which face-selective neurons are found, and also the orbitofrontal cortex, in which some neurons are tuned to face identity and others to face expression. In humans, activation of the orbitofrontal cortex is found when a change of face expression acts as a social signal that behaviour should change; and damage to the orbitofrontal cortex can impair face and voice expression identification, and also the reversal of emotional behaviour that normally occurs when reinforcers are reversed.

(2007): Conceptualizing face and relational work in (im)politeness. Revelations from politeness lexemes and idioms in Turkish. In: Journal of Pragmatics 39 (4), S. 681-711. DOI: 10.1016/j.pragma.2006.11.013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pragma.2006.11.013 Abstract: This article addresses two issues: the conceptualization of face and related aspects of self in Turkish, and the implications of the conceptualization of face and the self in interaction in Turkish for understanding relational work at the emic and the etic levels. The paper analyses two root lexemes and idioms derived from the lexemes in Turkish, which are posited as being crucial to understanding (im)politeness and relational work in Turkish culture, and discusses the implications of the analysis for conceptualizing relational work. It maintains that cultures may foreground different aspects of self toward which people show sensitivity in relational work, and that concerns over transactional issues are a major component of relational work.

(2007): A Concept of Social Integration. In: Philosophical Psychology 20 (5), S. 579-593. DOI: 10.1080/09515080701549314
Abstract: Clear definitions of alienation and solidarity are needed as a step toward an explicit theory of social integration. The idea of alienation has played a key role in the development of sociology, but it's meaning has never been clear. Both theories and empirical studies confound relational-dispositional, cognitive-emotional and/or interpersonal-societal components. This essay proposes definitions that follow from the work of Erving Goffman and others. Goffman's idea of "co-presence'' implies a model of solidarity as mutual awareness to the point of merging consciousness. It appears that this concept of solidarity could be the main component of shared context, consensus, genuine love and social facts. Two empirical approaches are described, one with moment by moment analysis of dialogue, the other using sample surveys. With the use of mathematical notation, the survey method might be used to analyze social facts. The model could also form the basis for an explicit and testable theory of social integration.

(2007): Being (im)polite in New Zealand workplaces. Māori and Pākehā leaders. In: Journal of Pragmatics 39 (4), S. 712-729. DOI: 10.1016/j.pragma.2006.11.016
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pragma.2006.11.016 Abstract: This paper investigates the ways in which leaders in ethnically diverse workplaces in New Zealand construct themselves as effective leaders in interaction with subordinates, whilst also taking account of the politeness norms of their specific workplaces. Case studies of two leaders, one from a Pākehā and one from a Māori workplace, illustrate that shared ethnic values and attitudes impact on the behaviour of all members of the leaders’ communities of practice. The analysis of meeting openings and the use of contestive humour demonstrate that what is considered appropriate behaviour in one organisational context, and what is perceived as constituting polite behaviour by group members, may be considered inappropriate and even impolite by members of another organisation. By behaving in ways that are in accordance with the norms developed in their ‘ethnicised’ communities of practice, leaders and other organisational members reinforce, maintain and shape these politeness norms.

(2007): Confronting Peaceful Co-existence: Psychological Warfare and the Role of Interdoc, 1963-72. In: COLD WAR HISTORY 7 (1), S. 19-43
Abstract: Interest in Cold War psychological warfare and propaganda operations by both East and West, and the institutions that have pursued them, has increased among diplomatic historians over the last decade. 1 As an addition to the burgeoning literature on the ideological dimension of the conflict, this article examines the foundation and purpose of the International Information and Documentation Center or 'Interdoc'. Founded in 1963 in The Hague, Interdoc was meant to develop a psychological response to the Soviet strategy of 'peaceful coexistence'. Its arrival was the result of discussions between French, German, and Dutch intelligence services, along with individuals from industry and academia, that had taken place over the previous six years. Interdoc's central focus was to increase the level of understanding of communist doctrine and practice by stimulating and making available well-researched information on the policies and realities of the Soviet bloc. By the end of the 1960s Interdoc had expanded into a centre of increasing activity for research, training, conference, and publication programmes. However, at the point when plans were being made to extend its operations by making contacts with the Eastern bloc, Chancellor Brandt's pursuit of Ostpolitik caused a catastrophic withdrawal of German financial support.
