Driven by technology or sociality? Use intention of service robots in hospitality from the human–robot interaction perspective

The technology and sociality of service robots in the hospitality industry are integrated into iTAM from the perspective of human–robot interactions. The empirical results of the functional-social perceived model show that both functional and social perceptions mediate the relationship between human–robot interaction and the intention to use robots, and that the mediating effect of technology is stronger than that of social perception. In terms of functional perception, the mediating effect of perceived usefulness was stronger than that of perceived ease of use. In terms of social perception, the mediating effect of perceived enjoyment was significant, while the mediating effect of rapport and trust was not. Therefore, customers' perceived enjoyment is stronger than that of rapport and trust.

Appearance comments presented as compliments at work: How are they perceived by targets and observers in and outside of workplace settings?

AbstractTwo studies examined perceptions referring to appearance comments presented as compliments. When taking the target's perspective (Study 1, n = 678), women perceived appearance comments, especially if sexualized (vs. non‐sexualized) as less appropriate than men did. Women also believed that, as the targets of sexualized (vs. non‐sexualized) comments, they were likely to be perceived as less warm (whereas men believed that they were likely to be perceived as more competent). When taking an observer perspective (Study 2, n = 398), participants perceived comments made at the workplace (vs. a non‐work setting) as less appropriate. Women, but not men, also perceived sexualized comments as less appropriate than non‐sexualized comments. Finally, both men and women perceived the target of sexualized (vs. non‐sexualized) comments as less warm and competent. The results point to a gap between women's and men's perceptions of the appropriateness of appearance comments in general, and sexualized comments in particular, in both workplace and non‐work settings. Moreover, women are more aware than men of the “penalty,” in terms of social perceptions, imposed upon the targets of appearance comments. These results, which can inform sensitivity training to prevent sexual harassment, are especially important in workplace settings, where perceptions of warmth and competence affect how individuals are treated and promoted.

Trends in Research on the Security of Medical Information in Korea: Focused on Information Privacy Security in Hospitals.

ObjectivesInformation technology involves a risk of privacy violation in providing easy access to confidential information,such as personal information and medical information through the Internet. In this study, we investigated medical information security to gain a better understanding of trends in research related to medical information security.MethodsWe researched papers published on ‘의료정보’ and ‘medical information’ in various Korean journals during a 10-year period from 2005 to 2015. We also analyzed these journal papers for each fiscal year; these papers were categorized into the areas of literature research and empirical research, and were further subdivided according to themes and subjects.ResultsIt was confirmed that 48 papers were submitted to 35 academic journals. There were 33 (68.8%) literature review articles, and analysis of secondary data was not carried out at all. In terms of empirical research, 8 (16.7%) surveys and 7 (14.6%) program developments were studied. As a result of analyzing these papers according to the research theme by research method, 17 (35.4%) papers on laws, systems, and policies were the most numerous. It was found that among the literature research papers on medical personnel were the most common, and among the empirical research papers, research on experts in information protection and medical personnel were the most common.ConclusionsWe suggest that further research should be done in terms of social perception, human resource development, and technology development to improve risk management in medical information systems.

Social Perception Deficits, Cognitive Distortions, and Empathy Deficits in Sex Offenders

This literature review examines the differences between sex offenders and nonoffenders with regard to social perception skills, cognitive distortions, and empathy skills in order to investigate sex offenders' cognition. The literature on cognitive distortions is discussed, with reference to the confusion surrounding its definition, and the debate between cognitive distortions as offense-supportive beliefs or justifications is examined. In terms of social perception, particular reference is made to sex offenders' misinterpretations of women's social cues and the source of this deficit. The authors discuss possibilities for this deficit, including offense-supportive beliefs that are driven by underlying implicit theories or schemata held by offenders. The concept of empathy and its relation to both social perception skills and cognitive distortions is discussed, and the integration of these factors is represented in a new model.

Woman as Truth in a Renaissance Comedy

Bruno's comedy, the Candelaio is a complex text which manages to fluctuate in and out of focus all too easily to let it slip by as merely a comedy of disguise. As such, the characters would appear to undergo no psychological process, as mere victims of either frivolous or damaging inganni, trapped in a momentary distortion of reality. However, through a shift in perspective, the woman characters provide one key with which to unlock the complexity of Bruno's characters, in terms of social perception and identity crisis, where even the very notion of reality or is problematized and identi ty construction revealed. Through a process which may be characterized as subversive anamorphism, I propose that woman in this text functions as a focusing lens, through which we may perceive truth, which is duplicity, multiplicity and mutation. The women expose the delusive identity construction of the male protagonists, and send the notion of public and private identity into crisis, while linguistic subversion through the demystification of petrarchian language and love code (Bonifacio), the internal corrosion of contemporary approximate science (Bartolomeo), and the deformation of pedantic Latin (Manfurio) extend social criticism. Anamorphism, or a shift in perspective occurs in the gaps between the individual's perception of himself and what Stephen Greenblatt has called his self -fashioningl, the reception of his creation in his society, and in the consequences of the harmony or discord his self-fashioning creates. More often than not, the conflation of several fashioned selves creates discord, as the truth the presence of artifice is that underlying blur which threatens to reveal actual chaos or madness. This threat of revelation is where I believe a consideration of the woman characters is crucial. It seems that their function in the Candelaio is

Age-Based Perceptions of Language Performance Among Younger and Older Adults

The present study tested differences between younger and older adults in self-perceptions and social perceptions of language performance. Sixty younger adults (M = 26.4 years) and 60 older adults (M = 72.9 years) completed the Language in Adulthood Questionnaire for themselves and then in terms of typical adults aged either 25 years or 75 years. As predicted, the younger respondents reported fewer problems with receptive and expressive aspects of conversational language performance than did their older counterparts. I terms of social perceptions, the two respondent groups expected individuals aged 25 to experience fewer problems with receptive and expressive language than individuals aged 75, except for two specially selected items for which the ratings predictably favored those aged 75 (i.e., telling enjoyable stories, sincere when talking). To provide perspective for these youth-oriented findings in the language domain, perceptions of conversational differences between adults of 25 and 75 were seen by both respondent groups to be less than age differences in memory and hearing. The study was designed and interpreted within a framework of multiple influences of language performance in later life that emphasizes cognitive, situational, and social psychological determinants.

Multiple audience problem: A strategic communication perspective on social perception.

Examined how communicators send mixed messages containing an explicit surface content and a covert hidden content. In Study 1, Ss wrote constrained essays presenting either an introverted or extraverted personality. Although authors reported manipulating essay credibility and readers reported relying on credibility to make their judgments, readers succumbed to correspondence bias. In Studies 2 and 3, Ss again prepared either constrained essays (Study 2) or constrained videotapes (Study 3) and included in them a hidden message that would be understood by only their friends but not by strangers. Observers then read these essays or watched these videotapes. Friends detected and decoded the hidden messages, whereas strangers did not. We discuss these findings in terms of social perception and strategic communication.
