Affective computing systems are potentially problematic from an ethical viewpoint as they aim to isolate, measure, interact with and influence our emotions. This means that they may infringe on values such as privacy or autonomy. We propose that an interactional perspective on the design of affective systems as well as on how to enable negotiations of privacy or autonomy is a viable route to be...

A multisource field study of 103 employees and their supervisors tested an extension of uncertainty management theory (E. A. Lind & K. Van den Bos, 2002; K. Van den Bos & E. A. Lind, 2002). According to this theory, persons high in social comparison orientation (F. X. Gibbons & B. P. Buunk, 1999) experience chronic uncertainty about the self. It was hypothesized that this should strengthen the ...

The experience of job insecurity has been related to several organizational outcomes, both immediate and long-term. However, since the strength of these effects have been found to vary across studies, it is essential to identify factors that could influence the relationships. The current study examines interaction effects between job insecurity and organizational justice (distributive, procedur...

Both expectations towards interactions with conspecifics, and genetic predispositions, affect adults׳ social behaviors. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we report data to investigate the interaction between genetic factors, (oxytocin receptor (OXTR) and serotonin transporter (5-HTTLPR) polymorphisms), and adult interactional patterns in shaping physiological resp...

The present study is aimed to examine the mediating effect of psychological capital in the relationship between organizational justice and organizational citizenship behavior. Data has been collected from a sample of 350 employees from multimedia organizations operating in Malaysia through personally administered questionnaires. The mediation effect has been tested using structural equation mod...

We explored the relationship between interactants’ social anxiety and the interactional fidelity of virtual humans. We specifically addressed whether the contingent non-verbal feedback of virtual humans affects the association between interactants’ social anxiety and their verbal self-disclosure. This subject was investigated across three experimental conditions where participants interacted wi...

In this paper, we describe a number of augmented fridge magnet concepts that support (i) organization and planning in households; (ii) reminding; and (iii) methods household members use to assign ownership to particular tasks, activities and artifacts. These concepts are shown to be derived from field investigations into everyday fridge use in home settings and specifically the interactional pr...

Automatically extracting social meaning and intention from spoken dialogue is an important task for dialogue and information extraction applications. We describe a system for solving the new task of detecting elements of interactional style: whether a speaker is awkward, friendly, or flirtatious. We create and use a new spoken corpus of approximately 1000 4-minute speed-dates. Participants rate...
