(author)Programs that aim to reduce symptoms of social anxiety in children generally include multiple components, such as exposure and cognitive restructuring. It is unknown if separate components yield positive intervention effects in children or whether a combination of components is required. We investigated the effectiveness of exposure, cognitive...article 2023

Hosseini, Z. (author), Nyholm, S. (author), le Blanc, P.M. (author), Preenen, P.T.Y. (author), Demerouti, E. (author)Experimental technologies, including AI and robots, are revolutionising many types of work. For example, the logistics warehouse sector is witnessing a wave of new technologies, such as automated picking tools, collaborative robots and exoskeletons, affecting jobs and employees. Notably, it is not always possible to predict the effects of such...article 2023

Stam, J.V. (author), Kallen, V.L. (author), Westenberg, P.M. (author)Internalizing disorders in adolescence have been associated with disturbances in autonomic and endocrine functioning. Because the prefrontal cortex and the limbic system play a central role in regulating both the autonomic and the endocrine systems, their joint functioning is hypothesized to provide information about the potential development of...article 2023

Du, Z. (author), van den Berg, J.L. (author), Dimitrovski, T. (author), Litjes, R. (author)Social VR aims at enabling people located at different places to communicate and interact with each other in a natural way. It poses extremely strong throughput and latency requirements on the underlying communication networks. This paper investigates the potential of using cross-layer design approaches for radio access scheduling in order to...conference paper 2023

Sharan, N.N (author), Toet, A. (author), Mioch, T. (author), Niamut, O. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author)Effective interpersonal communication is important to maintain relationships and build trust, empathy, and confidence. In this digital age, communication has become mediated, which filters out many of the social cues that are essential to facilitate interpersonal communication. This paper investigates the extent to which social cues influence...conference paper 2022

(author)Prior research has related children's prosocial behavior to overall well-being, and stimulating prosocial behavior is the aim of many social-emotional skills interventions. This study assessed if affirming children's autonomy stimulates their psychosocial behavior. We conducted a three-arm microtrial with four repeated measures to assess if a...article 2022

Hattum, M.T. (author), Huisman, G. (author), Toet, A. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author)In recent years, there has been a significant increase in research on mediated communication via social touch. Previous studies indicated that mediated social touch (MST) can induce similar positive outcomes to interpersonal touch. However, studies investigating the user experience of MST technology predominantly involve brief experiments that...article 2022

Saravanan, A. (author), Tsfasman, A. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Oertel, C. (author)In ongoing and consecutive conversations with persons, a social robot has to determine which aspects to remember and how to address them in the conversation. In the health domain, important aspects concern the health-related goals, the experienced progress (expressed sentiment) and the ongoing motivation to pursue them. Despite the progress in...conference paper 2022

Ligthart, M.E.U. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author)In this article we discuss two studies of children getting acquainted with an autonomous socially assistive robot. The success of the first encounter is key for a sustainable long-term supportive relationship. We provide four validated behavior design elements that enable the robot to robustly get acquainted with the child. The first are five...article 2022

Alvarez, M. (author), Toet, A. (author), Dijkstra-Soudarissanane, S. (author)Social communication is increasingly performed through video communication (VC) tools such as Teams or Zoom. Although VC is an effective way to maintain relationships remotely, it is still limited in creating a sense of social connectedness since the interaction does not feel as natural as a physical encounter. We evaluated the user experience...conference paper 2022

Dhondt, S. (author), Kraan, K.O. (author), Bal, M. (author)The impact of technological change on the content of jobs and accompanying skills is a central topic across disciplines. To date, ample research has directly linked the technological change to shifts in skills use; however, organisational change is rarely considered as an influencing factor. Based on a panel survey, this paper uses a Luhmannian...article 2022

Liu, X. (author), Achterberg, M.A. (author), Kooij, R.E. (author)pinion dynamics models study how the interaction among people influences the opinion formation process. In most opinion dynamics models, only one opinion can exist in the steady state, which is different from the real-life opinion formation process. In 2009, Shao et at. introduced a Non-Consensus Opinion (NCO) model, which allows different...conference paper 2022

Recent studies have shown how extended reality (XR) technologies can help in executing remote meetings in new and possibly better ways. One important factor for meetings in e.g. Virtual Reality (VR) is avatar realism, with the...conference paper 2022

van der Zwaan, B. (author), Broecks, K. (author), dalla Longa, F.

We develop scenarios for how public acceptance may constrain the diffusion of CCS, either by reducing the overall amount of instal- lable CCS capacity or by delaying its introduction, and show...article 2022
