“…Using this approach, we were able to specifically examine how our participants understood the power relations that structured how their everyday lives were lived; highlight the effects of institutional structures such as racism, housing, and neighborhoods on their experiences living with CHD; and explore the practical activities, behaviors, and actions they adopted and adapted to live with it. Critical interactionism allows a more penetrating exploration of the relationship between macro-structural conditions and the concrete realities that people live (Lather, 1986a(Lather, , 1986bSandstrom & Fine, 2003;Sandstrom et al, 2001).…”

How African American men and women respond to and manage living with coronary heart disease (CHD) is not well understood despite the well-documented disproportionate burden of CHD and its complications among African Americans in the United States. Through a critical interactionist perspective, we explore illness experiences of African Americans living with CHD and describe a broad range of micro-, meso-, and macro-contextual factors that influence their illness experiences. For participants in this study, CHD has become a "Black disease" wherein certain bodies have become historically and racially marked; a conceptualization maintained and passed on by African Americans themselves. Such findings highlight that CHD is more than a "lifestyle disease" where high-risk behaviors and lack of healthy choices are ultimate culprits. Rather, CHD is perceived by African Americans who have it as yet another product of ongoing racial and socio-structural dynamics through which their health burdens are created, sustained, and reproduced.

“…The multi-level mediation effects from principals" leadership, social support, and organizational commitment on teachers" efficacy indeed confirm the Bandura"s social learning theory [49], [50]. Teachers" efficacy in the real teaching settings are developed and transformed involving a series of complex intrapersonal self-recognition, interpersonal stimulation, and reflective adaption in response to environmental factors [51].…”

Abstract-The objectives of this study was to investigated in-depth understanding of teachers' efficacy by identifying the structural relationship of factors that influence teachers' efficacy in terms of principal's leadership, organizational commitment, social support, and psychological capital. A quantitative research design was conducted within purposive sampling method were used for data gathered from 204 high school teachers in Taiwan. The validated paper-pencil based questionnaires were employed in the study and analyzed undertaking descriptive analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings revealed that both principals' leadership and social support played a crucial role as a mediating factor that highly contributed to organizational commitment in enhancing teachers' efficacy. Finally, some suggestions were proposed for future research bridging theoretical and practical understandings of the formation and improvement of teachers' efficacy.

“…The conceptions of self that were once anchored in stable spatial, institutional and temporal contexts are now anchored in impulses and multidimensional contexts, in particular those shaped by information technology. Due to the pace and multiplicitous modes of life, proliferation of communication technologies and growing instability and ephemerality of social structures necessary to anchor the self, identities and the self become fragmented, "saturated" and incoherent [12,13,31].…”

“…Although interactionists acknowledge the importance of biological predispositions that give people the potential to become human, they argue that people "develop into distinctively human beings as they take part in social interaction" [31]. Thus, social interaction is of crucial importance for human growth and survival not only as a biological entity but above all a human being.…”

Social human-robot interaction (HRI) has been widely recognised as one of the major challenges for robotics. This social aspect includes designing robots that embraces various humanlike characteristics regarding robot appearance and behaviour. Few HRI studies, however, address the core goal of human social interaction, i.e. the development of the self. This paper argues that social robots can constitute an illusion or an extension of the human self and should be developed as such. The concept of the self and its meanings for HRI research are here discussed from the symbolic interactionism perspective.
