The Reduced-Length Connection–Coordination Rapport (CCR) Scale
Robots such as those serving as educational tutors, healthcare supporters, and collaborative partners must develop “rapport,” a construct that encompasses mutual understanding and interpersonal connection with people, to ensure their long-term success. In our earlier work, we constructed, evaluated, and validated an 18-item Connection–Coordination Rapport (CCR) scale to measure human–robot rapport (Studies 1–3). Even though the full-length 18-ite…
Robot Primals
Roboticists are continually improving the quality of social robot behaviors and interactions with humans. This is a major goal of the field of social robotics, which seeks to create socially competent robots and improve their overall acceptance. Toward this effort, we propose the utilization of primal world beliefs (i.e., beliefs about the character of the world) to design behaviors that are relatable, intuitive, and based on an internal motivati…
Uniting theory and data
People routinely use facial expressions to communicate successfully and to regulate other's behaviour, yet modelling the form and meaning of these facial behaviours has proven surprisingly complex. One reason for this difficulty may lie in an over-reliance on the assumptions inherent in existing theories of facial expression - specifically that (1) there is a putative set of facial expressions that signal an internal state of emotion, (2) pattern…

Cobots as Workforce Partners
Substitution of capital in the form of automation and robotics has displaced many American manufacturing workers, especially those without college degrees. However, this need not be the path forward. We argue that now is an opportune time for greater policy emphasis on collaborative robots, or “cobots,” which are designed to complement rather than replace manual labor while raising productivity. To realize this potential, policies must properly a…
Does Facebook Use Provide Social Benefits to Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury
Drawing on the social compensation hypothesis, this study investigates whether Facebook use facilitates social connectedness for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), a common and debilitating medical condition that often results in social isolation. In a survey (N = 104 participants; n = 53 with TBI, n = 51 without TBI), individuals with TBI reported greater preference for self-disclosure on Facebook (vs. face-to-face) compared to nonin…
How do Individuals With and Without Traumatic Brain Injury Interpret Emoji? Similarities and Differences in Perceived Valence, Arousal, and Emotion Representation
Impaired facial affect recognition is common after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and linked to poor social outcomes. We explored whether perception of emotions depicted by emoji is also impaired after TBI. Fifty participants with TBI and 50 non-injured peers generated free-text labels to describe emotions depicted by emoji and rated their levels of valence and arousal on nine-point rating scales. We compared how the two groups’ valence and arousal…
Faces synchronize when communication through spoken language is prevented
Cooperating with another person requires communicating intentions and coordinating behavior. People often accomplish these tasks using spoken language, but verbal communication is not always available. Here, we test the hypothesis that, to establish successful cooperative interaction, people compensate for the temporary loss of one means, verbal communication, by amplifying another, namely nonverbal expressive synchrony. Fifty-seven female dyads,…
So Close and Yet So Far
Technology can facilitate communication across large distances. Although today’s technologies enable partners to convey rich verbal and non-verbal information, past research suggests that geographic distance can still hamper remote collaboration. In this study, we investigate whether a telepresence robot, by offering an embodiment of the user, allows communicators to experience their remote partners as being “really there,” overcoming distance ef…
