Social Functionality of human emotion
Annual Review of Psychology, 2012Co-Authors: Paula M Niedenthal, Markus BrauerAbstract:Answers to the question “What are human emotions for?” have stimulated highly productive programs of research on emotional phenomena in psychology and neuroscience in the past decade. Although a variety of functions have been proposed and examined at different levels of abstraction, what is undeniable is that when emotional processing is compromised, most things Social go awry. In this review we survey the research findings documenting the functions of emotion and link these to new discoveries about how emotion is accurately processed and transmitted. We focus specifically on emotion processing in dyads and groups, which reflects the current scientific trend. Within dyads, emotional expressions and learning and understanding through vicarious emotion are the phenomena of interest. Behavioral and brain mechanisms supporting their successful occurrence are evaluated. At the group level, group emotions and group-based emotions, two very different phenomena, are discussed, and mechanistic accounts are reviewed.

Modeling Social causality and responsibility judgment in multi-agent interactions
IJCAI International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2013Co-Authors: Wenji Mao, Jonathan [ed] GratchAbstract:Intelligent Agents are typically situated in a Social environment and must reason about Social cause and effect. Social causal reasoning is qualitatively different from physical causal reasoning that underlies most intelligent systems. Modeling the process and inference of Social causality can enrich the capabilities of multi-agent and intelligent interactive systems. In this thesis, first we explore the underlying theory and process of how people evaluate Social events, and present a domain-independent computational framework to reason about Social cause and responsibility. The computational framework can be generally incorporated into an intelligent system to augment its cognitive and Social Functionality. For the fidelity of the modeling, this work is based on psychological attribution theory. Attribution theory identifies several key factors people use in forming their judgments, such as physical cause, intentions, foreknowledge and coercion. Based on the theory, our work formalizes commonsense reasoning of deriving the beliefs about the key factors from natural language communication and task execution. In addition to developing the model, we design and conduct experiments to empirically validate the model, using real human data. The experimental results show that model predictions of the overall judgments, intermediate beliefs about the variables and inferential mechanism are consistent with people responses. The computational framework has been applied to several applications, such as emotion modeling, natural language conversation strategies and performance assessment in group training. Other potential applications include interactive system design, adaptive user interfaces and coherent internal models for virtual humans. In the end of the dissertation, we summarize the research contributions and raise some issues for future considerations.

Social Functionality and internalized stigmatization levels of forensic psychiatry patients
Anatolian Journal of Psychiatry, 2015Co-Authors: Leyla Baysan Arabaci, Ceyda Basogul, Ayse BuyukbayramAbstract:Objective: The aim was to determine the internalized stigma and Social functioning levels of the individuals who committed crime and had mental disorder and were treated in forensic psychiatry units of Mental Health and Illnesses Hospitals.Method: This cross-sectional research was carried out between the dates of January and April 2013. It was planned to carry out the research in five hospitals having Forensic Psychiatry Unit in Turkey, but because of two hospital administrations disapproval, it was carried out in 3 hospitals. Of the patients treated in those three hospitals (N=109), totally 87 patients participated our research except the patients who had psychiatric symptoms at a level that they couldnt participate (n=22). Data were collected by talking to the patients face to face. In the research, Descriptive Information Form, Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI) and Social Functioning Scale (SFS) were used. In data evaluation, number-percentage distribution was done and the relationship between the variables was examined by t-test, variance analysis and correlation analysis.Findings: 94.3% of the patients were men and their average of age was 37.78±11.12. Patients ISMI and subscale average points were respectively found as xself-stigma= 44.43±12.80 (max:91); Xalienation=14.33±3.58(max:24); Xapprovingliteraljudgements=16.90±3.85(max:28); xperceiveddiscrimination=12.11±2.89(max:24); xSocialwithdrawal=14.34±3.61(max:24) and Xresistagainststigma=13.26±2.03(max:20). SFS subscale average points was found as Xwithdrawal=10.44±2.48; Xinterpersonalcommunication=4.87±2.28; Xindependenceperformance=12.25±6.98; Xindependencecompetence=31.54±8.36; Xhobbies=8.54±4.73; XinitialSocialactivity=8.23±7.31 and Xjob=4.16±2.60. It was determined that the more self-stigma scale average points increased, the more Social functioning average points decreased (P

Experiential avoidance, empathy, and anger-related attitudesin antiSocial personality disorder
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016Co-Authors: Kaasim Fatih Yavuz, Oktay Şahin, Sevinç Ulusoy, Okan Ufuk Ipek, Erhan KurtAbstract:In prevailing opinion, a strong relation exists between lack of empathy and antiSocial personality disorder (ASPD). However, recent data fail to wholly clarify this relation, especially in consideration of empathy dimensions. In this study our aim was to address ASPD and Social Functionality from a contextual behavioral science viewpoint. The present study was conducted with a sample of 34 individuals with ASPD and 32 healthy individuals as the control group. The participants were assessed with a sociodemographic form, Structured Clinical Interviews for DSM I and II (SCID-I and SCID-II), Social Functioning Scale (SFS), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II for measuring experiential avoidance, Interpersonal Reactivity Index for measuring empathy dimensions, and the State-Trait Anger Scale for anger-related attitudes. Experiential avoidance, dysfunctional anger regulation patterns, and lack of perspective-taking levels were higher in the ASPD group than in the control group. Experiential avoidance and perspective-taking processes were related with Social functioning in ASPD. These findings may provide initial data for understanding ASPD clinical features and related Social interaction problems. Further relations between scales and Social Functionality also analyzed and discussed.

long term effects of a rehabilitation program on the clinical outcomes Social Functionality and life quality of schizophrenic patients a follow up study
Anatolian Journal of Psychiatry, 2015Co-Authors: Mehtap Arslan, Ayla Yazici, Tulay Yilmaz, Sibel Coskun, Erhan KurtAbstract:Objective: Schizophrenia is a severe brain disease which leads to progressive clinical, cognitive, Social, and vocational deterioration. The results of a meta-analysis of studies from more than 100 years showed that the progress and outcomes of schizophrenia remain poor. However, evidence-based strategies combining pharmacological and psychoSocial treatments have obtained promising results and increased expectations regarding the outcome of schizophrenia. This study examined the effects of a multimodal, psychoSocial intervention program for schizophrenic patients at the end of the program and three years later. Methods: The study involved 60 patients between 18 and 65 years old who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia but had not participated in a multimodal, psychoSocial intervention program. At the beginning of, end of, and three years after the six-month program, all patients were assessed with the Bakirkoy Rehabilitation Form for Patient with Chronic Mental Illness, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, Moriskys Questions-Self-Report Measure of Adherence, Quality of Life Scale, Insight into the Three Components of the Evaluation Scale, Social Functioning Scale, and Disability Assessment Schedule. The three sets of measurements were compared to each other. Findings: In the end-of-program and third-year measurements, the severity of the symptoms had statistically and significantly decreased compared to measurements made before the program. As well, the frequency of hospitalizations decreased, while adherence to treatment, insight level, Social Functionality, and quality of life increased. Discussion: The structured psychoSocial interventions used throughout the program were found to increase patients insight level and adherence to treatment, which resulted in decreased severity of symptoms and frequency of hospitalizations. Recovery from negative symptoms, which the literature shows to be the most important causes of decreased Social and professional Functionality, could explain the increase in the scale scores measuring Social Functionality and quality of life. Likely also contributing to this result was the intense use of techniques in such areas as independent living skills, interpersonal relations, daily life activities, and Social affairs and behaviors. Results: The results of this study are important. They show that the applied program is effective and that its positive effects lasted three years after it ended. This program can serve as a model for the community mental health centers opening during the transition to and establishment of a community-based psychiatric system in Turkey.
