  • robotic handwriting multi Contact manipulation based on reactional internal Contact Hypothesis
    Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2014
    Co-Authors: Sungkyun Kim, Siddhartha S Srinivasa, Maxim Likhachev
    Abstract:

    When one uses a hand-held tool, the fingers often make the tool to be in Contact with the palm in the form of multi-Contact manipulation. Multi-Contact manipulation is useful for object-environment interaction tasks because it can provide both powerful grasping of the object body and dexterous manipulation of the object end-effector. However, dealing with the internal link Contact with the object is not trivial. In this paper, we propose Reactional Internal Contact Hypothesis that regards the internal Contact force as a reaction force so that the desired finger force can be reduced. By taking a handwriting task as an example, optimal configuration search and grasping force computation problems are addressed based on this Hypothesis and validated via dynamic simulation.

  • prejudice reduction in an educational setting practical outcomes from theoretical approaches
    Polish Journal of Applied Psychology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Malgorzata Wojcik, Katarzyna Popiolek
    Abstract:

    Our paper reviews research studies that have investigated interventions aimed at prejudice reduction. The theories and research results are summarized in the following categories: intergroup Contact, social identity, and categorization. The intergroup Contact approach inspired such techniques as Contact Hypothesis, jigsaw classroom, Pettigrew’s model, Contact with transgression, and imagined intergroup Contact Hypothesis; while social identity gave the ground for common ingroup identity and crossed categorization theories. We place special emphasis on methods applicable for a school setting, and try to answer the questions: when, why and under which condition will a given method work.

  • can one tv show make a difference will grace and the parasocial Contact Hypothesis
    Journal of Homosexuality, 2006
    Co-Authors: Edward Schiappa, Peter B. Gregg, Dean E. Hewes
    Abstract:

    Television has an opportunity to influence beliefs about groups with which individuals typically may have little direct social Contact. This study describes a synthesis of the Contact Hypothesis and the concept of Parasocial Interaction to pose what we call the Parasocial Contact Hypothesis to test whether exposure to gay men on Will & Grace can influence attitudes toward gay men in general. Based on a study of 245 university students, this study examines the relationships among number and intimacy of gay social Contacts, parasocial interaction, viewing frequency of Will & Grace, and scores on Herek's Attitudes Toward Gay Men and Lesbians scale. Increased viewing frequency and parasocial interaction were found to correlate with lower levels of sexual prejudice-a relationship that was most pronounced for those with the least amount of social Contact with lesbians and gay men.

  • The Parasocial Contact Hypothesis
    Communication Monographs, 2005
    Co-Authors: Edward Schiappa, Peter B. Gregg, Dean E. Hewes
    Abstract:

    We propose a communication analogue to Allport's (1954) Contact Hypothesis called the Parasocial Contact Hypothesis (PCH). If people process mass-mediated parasocial interaction in a manner similar to interpersonal interaction, then the socially beneficial functions of intergroup Contact may result from parasocial Contact. We describe and test the PCH with respect to majority group members' level of prejudice in three studies, two involving parasocial Contact with gay men (Six Feet Under and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) and one involving parasocial Contact with comedian and male transvestite Eddie Izzard. In all three studies, parasocial Contact was associated with lower levels of prejudice. Moreover, tests of the underlying mechanisms of PCH were generally supported, suggesting that parasocial Contact facilitates positive parasocial responses and changes in beliefs about the attributes of minority group categories.
