This paper deals with the phenomenon of online self-disclosure. Two qualitative data analyses of YouTube videos were conducted. The studies revealed emerging forms of self-disclosure online, which are not necessarily bound to conditions of visual anonymity. This finding puts previous research results into question, which stress the strong correlation between self-disclosure and visual anonymity...

We propose a model of group processes that accords a key role to the verification of people’s self-views (thoughts and feelings about the self). This approach partially incorporates past work on self-categorization (under the rubric of verification of social self-views) and introduces a new set of processes (the verification of personal selfviews) to the groups literature. Conceptual analysis a...

Most previous experiments attempting to establish the existence of the selfserving bias have confounded it with strategic behavior. We design an experiment that controls for strategic behavior (Haman effects), and isolates the bias itself. The self-serving bias that we measure concerns beliefs about the rationality of others. We find very limited support for the existence of the bias. To help u...

This paper addresses the problem of position tracking control of robot manipulators in the presence of parametric uncertainty and additive periodic disturbances. Specifically, a self tuning, Lyapunov-based adaptive controller with desired dynamics compensation term and a disturbance estimator has been designed to ensure that the link position tracking error converges to zero asymptotically, des...

We present some ideas on self-validating (SV) methods. This note is especially intended to give some background for the articles in this special volume of LAA. It is not intended to be a survey of the big variety of all possible aspects of SV-methods but rather a summary of some basic concepts. Especially, some common misconceptions are mentioned and explored.
