The Google family home. Smart speaker use in Dutch families and the impact of parents’ individual and contextual characteristics
Smart speakers are a growing phenomenon in families with young children. Yet, early scholarship suggests that the reality of welcoming a smart speaker in the family and ongoingly using it is rather complex – not only because of the non-uniformity of families who own a device, but also because smart speaker use in the family space is, in itself, multi-dimensional. To that end, this study looks beyond initial device ownership and acknowledges a tri…
What does the news say about Siri, Alexa, and co.? A topic model network analysis of Dutch news messages about virtual assistants between 2011 and 2022
News media can shape public perceptions of technology and meaningfully inform research on technology adoption. Yet, little is known about the news representations of a currently emerging technology: Virtual Assistants (VAs). By examining the Dutch news coverage (2011–2022; N = 2059) using the Analysis of Topic Model Networks, this study found that (1) news attention peaked in 2019 with a decline in the years thereafter (until 2022) and (2) discou…
Risks and protective measures for synthetic relationships
Virtual assistants in the family home. Understanding parents’ motivations to use virtual assistants with their Child(dren)
Virtual assistants (VA) like Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant are becoming household names - especially for families with young children. Scientific inquiry studying this user population and their intention to use VAs at home, however, remains scarce. By bridging the Technology Acceptance Model, Uses and Gratifications theory, and the first proposition of the Differential Susceptibility to Media Effects Model, this study disentangles (1) differen…
Personal Approach to Treatment Choices for HIV (PATCH)
XIII World Meeting, International Society for Research on Aggression
Recent hospital-based epidemiological research (e.g.Sullivan & Knutson, 1998) has confirmed the putative link between child maltreatment and the presence of disabilities.Although that research provided suggestive evidence that disabilities could be seen as risk factors for maltreatment, limitations of the design and the archival nature of some data precluded strong inferences regarding the hypothesis that disability occasions risk for abuse.Withi…
Visual attention in infant monkeys
Effects of dietary essential fatty acids on visual attention were explored longitudinally in infant rhesus monkeys with a visual paired-comparison paradigm. Sets of primate faces and of patterns were presented at Weeks 2, 5, 9, and 13 to 9 infants deficient in omega-3 fatty acids and 8 fed a standard nursery diet. Familiarization to 1 member of each pair preceded simultaneous presentation of both stimuli. Infants fed the deficient diet showed lon…
