When stereotypes meet robots: The double-edge sword of robot gender and personality in human-robot interaction
Computers in Human Behavior, 2014Co-Authors: Benedict Tiong Chee Tay, Younbo Jung, Taezoon ParkAbstract:With the emerging application of social and psychological concepts to human-robot interaction, we investigated the effects of Occupational Roles (security vs. healthcare), gender (male vs. female), and personality (extrovert vs. introvert) on user acceptance of a social robot. In a laboratory experiment, a robot performed two different Roles of a healthcare and security to address the potential usage of social robots at home. During the task, the robot manifested different genders and personalities via nonverbal cues. The results showed that participants (n = 164) preferred the robot with matching gender-Occupational Role and personality-Occupational Role stereotypes. This finding implies that the gender and personality of social robots do not monotonically influence user responses; instead, they interact with corresponding Role stereotypes to affect user acceptance of social robots. In addition, personality-Occupational Role stereotypes showed a stronger effect on users' responses than gender-Occupational Role stereotypes. The overall results lay a foundation for designers to reduce the wide design spaces of social robots by grouping the various parameters under the big umbrella of social Role stereotypes. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Occupational Role stressors coping support and hardiness as predictors of strain in academic faculty an emphasis on new and female faculty
Research in Higher Education, 1999Co-Authors: Suzanne H LeaseAbstract:The presence of work-related stress and strainis viewed as a serious concern for faculty, particularlynewer and female faculty. The present study examineddifferences in levels of Occupational stress and personal strain experienced by new andexperienced female and male faculty. Factors affectingthe stress-strain relationship were also examined. Therewere no significant differences on measures of stress or strain between male and femalefaculty or between new and more experienced facultymembers. Role overload and avoidant coping weresignificant predictors of strain measures with hardinessand responsibility for home-centered tasksaccounting for variance in some, but not all, of thestrain measures. Results on the negative impact of Roleoverload and avoidant coping on measures of personalstrain are consistent with the literature and suggestthe need for promoting different coping strategies inthe academic workplace as well as working with facultyto help them prioritize and balance their daily work loads.

Occupational Roles and life satisfaction in psychiatric outpatients with vocational disabilities.
Work-a Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation, 2020Co-Authors: Sari Prusti, Inga-britt BränholmAbstract:: OBJECTIVES: To investigate: 1) internalization of Occupational Roles and 2) levels of satisfaction in psychiatric outpatients with vocational disability. STUDY DESIGN: Twenty subjects, 8 men and 12 women, aged 20-55, participated in the study. The past, present and expected values of 10 Occupational Roles were identified. Levels of satisfaction with life as whole and on eight different domains were reported on a six-step scale ranging from very dissatisfied to very satisfied. RESULTS: The student and worker Roles were not part of current life, in contrast to the past (5 years ago) and the expected future. The Roles of family member and home maintainer were the most appreciated both in the past and at present. All of the participants expected to add both number and level of Role involvement in the future. No-one were satisfied with life as whole. All but one were dissatisfied with their vocational and financial situations. Most were also dissatisfied with their leisure situation, family life, partnership relations, sexual life, and contacts with friends. CONCLUSIONS: The low levels of satisfaction with life as whole and the different domains reflect the disadvantageous situation of the participants in the study. The low number of Occupational Roles and the low level of meaningful Role involvement support the associations between Occupational Roles and life satisfaction. It is suggested that Occupational Role assessment would be an important focus in Occupational therapy to help people to more adaptive daily routines and to improve their quality of life.

On non-work activity preferences: Relationships with Occupational Roles
Disability and Rehabilitation, 1994Co-Authors: Inga-britt Bränholm, A. R. Fugl-meyerAbstract:Occupational therapy is to a great extent based on the idea of engaging patients in meaningful activities. Using mailed checklists this investigation examines the preference attached to 50 activities by 201 adult (25–55 years old) northern Swedes using a four-grade ordinal scale. The self-reported levels of activity preferences were related to age and gender. Factor analysis was used to analyse the inter-relationships between activity preferences. The possible effects of activity preferences on self-reported Occupational Role internalization (10 items) were examined using discriminant analyses. Activity preferences were gender-dependent for more than half of the activities while only 14 of them were age-dependent. The factor analysis grouped 41 of the activities into 15 factors which were labelled ‘activity goals’. Fourteen of these were distinct classifiers (discriminant analyses) of the self-reported degree of internalization of 8/10 Occupational Roles. In this sample Occupational Role internalization h...

Occupational Role Preferences and Life Satisfaction
Occupational Therapy Journal of Research, 1992Co-Authors: Inga-britt Bränholm, Axel R. Fugl-meyerAbstract:Using responses from mailed checklists, the actual and expected values of 10 Occupational Roles were identified for 201 randomly selected 25-, 35-, 45-, and 55-year-old Northern Swedish subjects, who also reported their levels of satisfaction with life as a whole and with eight domains of life. The 10 Occupational Roles were clustered into four factors labeled “meta-Roles”: family, vocational, and two leisure meta-Roles. The Role preferences remained stable for men and women age 35 and 45; however, 25-year-olds expected to gain some Roles and 55-year-olds expected to lose the worker Role in 10 years. Hence, an age-related Role career was identified. Several of the 10 Occupational Roles and the meta-Roles (factors) exhibited logical adaptations to circumstances such as gender and parenthood, as well as Role career. The meta-Roles were closely related to level of satisfaction within six of the eight domains, indicating that fulfillment of different Occupational Roles is important for different aspects of li...
