Did the Maids Return? The Long History of Devaluing Care Work and the Mixed Economy of Welfare
For several years now, sociologists studying paid domestic care work have been arguing that the servant culture of the nineteenth century has returned. They focus on specific forms of care work: that done as informal or illegal employment, mostly carried out by migrants. To an historian, such a reference to the past is most intriguing. This article looks at the servant of the past to shed new light on the emergence of an informal labour market fo…
Reinvention mediates impacts of skin tone bias in algorithms: Implications for technology diffusion
Two studies examine how skin tone bias in image recognition algorithms impacts users’ adoption and usage of image recognition technology. We employed a diffusion of innovations framework to explore perceptions of compatibility, complexity, observability, relative advantage, and reinvention to determine their influence on participants' utilization of image recognition algorithms. Despite being more likely to encounter algorithm bias, individuals w…
Risks and protective measures for synthetic relationships
Using time travel in virtual reality (VR) to increase efficacy perceptions of influenza vaccination
This study examined the unique affordance of time travel in virtual reality (VR) to enhance the perceived efficacy of influenza vaccination. Effective vaccine communication hinges on raising awareness of the risk of contracting a contagious virus and spreading the infection to others. According to the extended-parallel process model, behavioral changes are achieved when an individual perceives sufficient levels of threat and efficacy to prevent n…
Sexual Interaction in Digital Contexts: Opportunities and Risks for Sexual Health
I agree with you, bot!” How users (dis)engage with social bots on Twitter
This article investigates under which conditions users on Twitter engage with or react to social bots. Based on insights from human–computer interaction and motivated reasoning, we hypothesize that (1) users are more likely to engage with human-like social bot accounts and (2) users are more likely to engage with social bots which promote content congruent to the user’s partisanship. In a preregistered 3 × 2 within-subject experiment, we asked N …
The detection of political deepfakes
Deepfake technology, allowing manipulations of audiovisual content by means of artificial intelligence, is on the rise. This has sparked concerns about a weaponization of manipulated videos for malicious ends. A theory on deepfake detection is presented and three preregistered studies examined the detection of deepfakes in the political realm (featuring UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Studies 1–3, or former U.S. President Barack Obama, Study 2…
Aufwachsen in überwachten Umgebungen: Interdisziplinäre Positionen zu Privatheit und Datenschutz in Kindheit und Jugend
Digital technologies are exerting a growing influence on the lives of children and teenagers: from video monitoring of babies and educational robots in nursery school to AI-powered learning assistants used to guarantee individual success in education. However, issues relating to privacy, surveillance and data protection are seldom reflected on with regard to this sensitive and important social sphere. The majority of these applications generate d…
Revisiting Human-Agent Communication: The Importance of Joint Co-construction and Understanding Mental States
The study of human-human communication and the development of computational models for human-agent communication have diverged significantly throughout the last decade. Yet, despite frequently made claims of "super-human performance" in, e.g., speech recognition or image processing, so far, no system is able to lead a half-decent coherent conversation with a human. In this paper, we argue that we must start to re-consider the hallmarks of coopera…
Desinformation aufdecken und bekämpfen: Interdisziplinäre Ansätze gegen Desinformationskampagnen und für Meinungspluralität
Digitalisation takes the lie to a new level. In this volume, renowned researchers present the results of their comprehensive analyses, which they obtained in an interdisciplinary approach with regard to digital disinformation: What makes disinformation on the German-language internet special? How does disinformation work? How can it be recognised with the help of technical means? What can and could be done against disinformation by means of regul…
Self-transcendent Media Experiences: Taking Meaningful Media to a Higher Level
Interest in the meaningful sides of media entertainment has blossomed over the last decade, with numerous scholars examining how certain media content can enhance social good and well-being. Because social scientific work in this area is relatively new and is rapidly evolving, numerous conceptualizations of meaningful media experiences have been introduced. In this paper we argue for the importance of recognizing a unique form of media experience…
Die völkische Ordnung von Armut: Kommunale Sozialpolitik im nationalsozialischen München, by Florian Wimmer
In 2015, Florian Wimmer died unexpectedly at a very young age. His doctoral thesis on Nazi welfare policy has now been published. The book centres on the Munich welfare office (Wohlfahrtsamt) during the Nazi period. Using a local focus had become a crucial approach to the history of National socialism some decades ago and, as current research is very much interested in the ways in which Nazi rule was implemented and how the concept of the people’…

Broadcasting one world: How watching online videos can elicit elevation and reduce stereotypes
Research on non-hedonic entertainment suggests the experience of elevation as an important construct leading to beneficial outcomes such as prosocial motivation. This study builds on first findings in this realm by distinguishing between different meaningful media contents. In a 3 × 4 between-subjects online experiment, we varied type of video (beauty of the earth, unity of humankind, portrayals of human kindness, and funny control videos) and co…
Die Entwicklung des Voluntary Sector in Großbritannien und Perspektiven für die Erforschung gesellschaftlichen Wandels in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren
There is currently a strong interest within British historiography in the voluntary sector and voluntary action during the twentieth century. This article focuses on the history of the regulation of social relations and the interplay between welfare state and individual in the 1970s and 1980s. It offers insights on the “moving frontier” between voluntary sector and state, especially the contradictory effects of the Thatcher government’s policy to…
Not Breaking Bonds on Facebook–Mixed–Methods Research on the Influence of Individuals’ Need to Belong on ‘Unfriending’ Behavior on Facebook

Volksgenossinnen on the German Home Front
German wartime society benefited from and was deeply marked by the mobilization of women. Female activism in organizations such as the Air Raid Protections Squads or the Auxiliary Service stabilized the home front in numerous ways. Women sewed for the Wehrmacht, provided practical help after air raids, and supported evacuees on their way to more secure areas of the Reich. Women also figured as recipients of state and party managed welfare, which …

Audience-Tuning Effects on Memory: The Role of Audience Status in Sharing Reality
After tuning messages to their audience's attitude, communicators' subsequent memories for the topic are often biased toward their audience-congruent messages. In the context of personnel assessment in an organization, we examined the role of audience characteristics in this audience-tuning effect. Student communicators tuned their description of an employee to either an equal-status audience (a student temp) or a higher-status audience (a compan…
