Training Deep Reinforcement Learning Agents to Coordinate with Humans using Perceptual-motor Primitives of Human Behavior
Relational context shapes interpersonal coordination in naturalistic interaction
Interpersonal coordination - the temporal coupling of movement between interactants - is widely considered to support social interaction, with laboratory studies demonstrating that greater coordination is associated with increased rapport, bonding, and positive affect. However, most of the evidence for these psychosocial benefits comes from tightly controlled interactions involving unfamiliar partners. Whether these findings generalise to natural…
Informed inclusion or tokenistic tolerance? Thematic analysis of Australian perspectives on transgender and gender diverse inclusion in the STEM workplace
Cisgender employees play a crucial role in shaping workplace inclusion efforts for their transgender and gender‐diverse (TGD) colleagues in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The current study aimed to explore how cisgender young adults perceive policies and practices that are central to improving TGD inclusion in the Australian STEM workplace. We conducted a series of simulated, semi‐structured interviews in virtual reality, duri…
Symmetry of Perception-Action
Intention Prediction is Affordance Perception
Embodiment of concealable stigma disclosure through dynamics of movement and language
A concealable stigmatised identity (CSI) is any identity that can be hidden but, if revealed, can be potentially socially devaluing (e.g., sexual minority). Those living with a CSI have opportunities to disclose their identities to friends and family members or within professional contexts. According to the disclosure processes model, people adopt either approach-oriented or avoidance-oriented goals when self disclosing. The current study sought …
It’s complicated
Purpose A lot is known about systemic barriers to broadening participation (BP) in STEM. Empirical research has demonstrated the existence and impact of implicit bias, stereotype threat, and micro-aggressions on a sense of belonging, organizational productivity and leadership opportunities. We also know that achieving greater participation of women and faculty of color in the STEM disciplines is complicated and depends on altering complex and mul…
Origins of Order in Joint Activity and Social Behavior
How should we understand the origins of order and control that entail the systematic regularity of human behavior? Here, we address this question with respect to joint activity and social behavior via an explication of Guy Van Orden's formulation of interaction-dominant dynamics and his provocative discussion of the “blue collar brain.” Using these 2 concepts we argue that human social behavior and performance is not controlled by a cascade of fa…
The Disruptive Effect of Self-Objectification on Performance
Self-objectification is the act of viewing the self, particularly the body, from a third-person perspective. Objectification theory proposes numerous negative consequences for those who self-objectify, including decreased performance through the disruption of focused attention. In the current study, we examined whether women in a state of self-objectification were slower to respond to a basic Stroop color-naming task. Results showed that regardle…
