Seriously, What Did One Robot Say to the Other? Being Left out From Communication by Robots Causes Feelings of Social Exclusion
While humans actually need some overt communication channel to transmit information, be it verbally or nonverbally, robots could use their network connection to transmit information quickly to other robots. This raises the question how this covert robot-robot communication is perceived by humans. The current study investigates how transparency about communication happening between two robots affects humansâ trust in and perception of these robots as well as their feeling of being included/excluded in the interaction. Three different robot-robot communication styles were analyzed: silent, robotic language, and natural language. Results show that when robots transmit information in a robotic language (beep sounds) this leads to lower trust and more feelings of social exclusion than in the silent (i.e., covert) or natural language conditions. Results support the notion that humans are over-sensitive to signs of ostracism which seems to be detected in this style of overt but nonhuman robot-robot communication
Interactive Tango Milonga: An Interactive Dance System for Argentine Tango Social Dance
abstract: When dancers are granted agency over music, as in interactive dance systems, the actors are most often concerned with the problem of creating a staged performance for an audience. However, as is reflected by the above quote, the practice of Argentine tango social dance is most concerned with participants internal experience and their relationship to the broader tango community. In this dissertation I explore creative approaches to enrich the sense of connection, that is, the experience of oneness with a partner and complete immersion in music and dance for Argentine tango dancers by providing agency over musical activities through the use of interactive technology. Specifically, I create an interactive dance system that allows tango dancers to affect and create music via their movements in the context of social dance. The motivations for this work are multifold: 1) to intensify embodied experience of the interplay between dance and music, individual and partner, couple and community, 2) to create shared experience of the conventions of tango dance, and 3) to innovate Argentine tango social dance practice for the purposes of education and increasing musicality in dancers.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Music 201
Pediatric Providers\u27 Perceptions of their Role in Early Detection of Postpartum Depression
The birth of a child is usually a happy occasion in a woman\u27s life. It is also often a time of overwhelming anxiety, stress and hormonal changes. Postpartum depression (PPD) could occur during the first year of childbirth in approximately 10-20% of mothers (Waldrop, Ledford, Perry, & Beeber, 2017). PPD is the most common maternal health problem within the first year after childbirth (the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2018). Recognition of mothers who are at risk for PPD allows health professionals to initiate care that can prevent further problems for the mother, infant, and the rest of their family. Screening, assessing, and treating maternal mental health problems should be a main concern in pediatric care, since maternal depression has major effects on children. There is overwhelming evidence of the long-term impact maternal PPD has on infant well-being throughout various research articles. Although there is evidence of the impact PPD has on the mother-infant dyad, there continues to be a lack of implementation within the pediatric care areas, and the lack of national guidelines and policies. Pediatric providers play a significant role in the prevention of negative outcomes for the infant and the maternal-infant dyad (Kurtz, Levine, & Safyer, 2018). Pediatric providers are in a perfect position to support healthy positive outcomes for maternal/infant health. Eleven providers who see infants within their first year of life from five different organizations were interviewed. the participants were interviewed regarding their perceptions of their role in early detection of PPD. Using a descriptive, qualitative methodology, the data from the interviews were analyzed. the data from the interviews were coded into 7 codes, and consisting of thirteen sub-codes. the codes that emerged consisted of a wide range of perceptions from healthcare providers who see infants and their mothers during the first year of life. Data from the interviews demonstrated how providers perceive their role as a critical aspect of early detection. Participants unanimously stated the importance of their role in early detection. Although participants were in accordance with the importance of their role in early detection, many issues and concerns did develop from the interviews. These issues ranged from inconsistencies regarding the lack of resources available to offer mothers, lack of collaboration, lack of screening protocols, and the lack of education the providers felt they received. Findings from this study offer much insight into the perceptions providers that see infants within their first year of life have regarding their role in early detection of PPD. in conclusion, this study demonstrates the need to increase awareness, and ensure that proper national guidelines are implemented among healthcare providers, policy makers, and organizations to secure a proper and efficient protocol to ensure the practice of screening all mothers. in addition, the results from this study have major implications in public policy, nursing practice, education, and further research
Developing an Intervention Toolbox for the Common Health Problems in the Workplace
Development of the Health â Work Toolbox is described. The toolbox aims to reduce the workplace impact of common health problems (musculoskeletal, mental health, and stress complaints) by focusing on tackling work-relevant symptoms. Based on biopsychosocial principles this toolbox supplements current approaches by occupying the zone between primary prevention and healthcare. It provides a set of evidence-informed principles and processes (knowledge + tools) for tackling work-relevant common health problems. The toolbox comprises a proactive element aimed at empowering line managers to create good jobs, and a âjust in timeâ responsive element for supporting individuals struggling with a work-relevant health problem. The key intention is helping people with common health problems to maintain work participation. The extensive conceptual and practical development process, including a comprehensive evidence review, produced a functional prototype toolbox that is evidence based and flexible in its use. End-user feedback was mostly positive. Moving the prototype to a fully-fledged internet resource requires specialist design expertise. The Health â Work Toolbox appears to have potential to contribute to the goal of augmenting existing primary prevention strategies and healthcare delivery by providing a more comprehensive workplace approach to constraining sickness absence
Seeing through the shades of situated affectivity. Sunglasses as a socio-affective artifact
Debates on situated affectivity have mainly focused on tools that exert some positive influence on affective experience. Far less attention has been paid to artifacts that interact with the expression of affect, or to those that exert some negative influence. To shed light on that shadowy corner of our affective social lives, I describe the workings of an atypical socio-affective artifact, namely, sunglasses. Drawing on insights from psychology and other social sciences, I construe sunglasses as a social shield that helps us block spontaneous emotional expressions, as well as affecting other social processes that heavily depend on the eye region: gaze direction detection, identity recognition, and the sense of intimacy afforded by eye contact
The Social Construction of Choice within Screening Mammography: Implications for Policy, Practice, and Communication
There are increasing efforts to support cisgender women to make an informed decision before participating in biennial screening mammography. I adopted a feminist-relational perspective to explore womenâs knowledge about screening and determine how screening mammography is socially constructed by women, healthcare providers, and the media. The findings indicated that opportunities for women to make an informed choice regarding their participation in screening mammography are limited and underscore the need to reconceptualise informed decision-making

ITâS ALL THE RAGE: AN ANIMATED APPROACH TO SCREENING FOR POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION
Postpartum depression presents a complication for mothers which can, in some cases, be severe and even life-threatening. Instruments commonly used to screen for this psychological condition have been challenged by an extensive body of literature, with many mothers being unidentified and even untreated for their symptoms. The presented research introduces a newly developed screening instrument for detecting probable postpartum depression using text-free scenario-based animations, based on the lived experience of the condition as qualified by empirical research and the existing body of literature. Developed items were controlled for quality via Think Aloud Protocol and alignment studies with subject matter experts (mothers and clinicians). A consequently revised version of a scale was piloted within the United States (N=433) using an online survey platform and was tested for psychometric quality. Overall, the presented studies show promise for this newly developed tool and provide ample reason to believe that using animated scenario-based items to measure the construct of postpartum depression in a screening context is a viable option for practice and a method that deserves additional research. Additional research related to the practicality of this method of assessment and its potential to increase access and fairness in receiving care for mental health conditions is needed. The development of this assessment has the potential to innovate psychological screening practices and clinical assessment for patients at large. This approach to assessment, being patient-informed and technology-based, provides promise for lowering the rate of maternal suicide, creating a common language between patients and providers, and potentially expanding the field of psychological assessment by forming ways of reaching those who have been missed by limited screening tools (i.e., historically marginalized groups). By freeing instrument development from typical protocol and grounding the entire process in the lived experience, using animation introduces an innovative method of assessing which is not only feasible, but also favored by the users themselves
