COMMENTARIES on Blascovich et al.

Abstract: LIMITED EVIDENCE: MANY PITFALLS According to recent school surveys, about 30% of older students will have used an illicit substance at least once [1]; perhaps a third of these are regular users showing some adverse effects, including on educational performance. It is therefore an educational priority and a service to them to help enhance their learning and attainment. This paper is important in re-launching an important debate on school-based random testing (RSDT), and in the end calls for more research. It re… Show more

Do Robot Performance and Behavioral Style affect Human Trust?

An important aspect of a robot's social behavior is to convey the right amount of trustworthiness. Task performance has shown to be an important source for trustworthiness judgments. Here, we argue that factors such as a robot's behavioral style can play an important role as well. Our approach to studying the effects of a robot's performance and behavioral style on human trust involves experiments with simulated robots in video human-robot interaction (VHRI) and immersive virtual environments (IVE). Although VHRI and IVE settings cannot substitute for the genuine interaction with a real robot, they can provide useful complementary approaches to experimental research in social human robot interaction. VHRI enables rapid prototyping of robot behaviors. Simulating human-robot interaction in IVEs can be a useful tool for measuring human responses to robots and help avoid the many constraints caused by real-world hardware. However, there are also difficulties with the generalization of results from one setting (e.g., VHRI) to another (e.g. IVE or the real world), which we discuss. In this paper, we use animated robot avatars in VHRI to rapidly identify robot behavioral styles that affect human trust assessment of the robot. In a subsequent study, we use an IVE to measure behavioral interaction between humans and an animated

Proxemic behaviors as predictors of aggression towards Black (but not White) males in an immersive virtual environment

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study investigated the relationship between participant proxemic behavior and overt aggression during interactions with Black and White agents in an immersive virtual environment. In a series of two tasks, participants first interacted with two male agents (each of the same race) and then engaged in a violent shooting game with those agents. Participants’ proxemic behaviors (interpersonal distance and head movements) during the first task predicted aggressive and hostile participant shots against Black but not White agents in the subsequent task. Results supported the value of proxemic variables in predicting aggression and the utility of IVET for experimental social psychology

The purpose of this research was to illustrate the broad usefulness of simple video-game-based virtual environments (VEs) for psychological research on real-world behavior. To this end, this research explored several high-level social phenomena in a simple, inexpensive computer-game environment: the reduced likelihood of helping under time pressure and the bystander effect, which is reduced helping in the presence of bystanders. In the first experiment, participants had to find the exit in a virtual labyrinth under either high or low time pressure. They encountered rooms with and without virtual bystanders, and in each room, a virtual person requested assistance. Participants helped significantly less frequently under time pressure but the presence/absence of a small number of bystanders did not significantly moderate helping. The second experiment increased the number of virtual bystanders, and participants were instructed to imagine that these were real people. Participants helped significantly less in rooms with large numbers of bystanders compared to rooms with no bystanders, thus demonstrating a bystander effect. These results indicate that even sophisticated high-level social behaviors can be observed and experimentally manipulated in simple VEs, thus implying the broad usefulness of this paradigm in psychological research as a good compromise between experimental control and ecological validity.
