This paper introduces a novel software solution to address the challenges of automated identification of Areas of Interest (AOIs) in dynamic, head-mounted display virtual reality (VR) environments, with a focus on applica-tions in forensic psychology. Traditional eye-tracking tools often require manual annotation of AOIs when analyzing moving objec...
This study sheds light on how political leaders engage in visual meaning-making on social media during a major crisis. In addition, it explores which kinds of visual messages by political leaders on social media drive high popular engagement in times of crisis. The study employs content analysis, including automatic facial expression analysis, to i...
This exploratory laboratory study analyzes emotional responses to two types of populist strategies on social media platforms. We focus on emotional responses to content expressing ordinariness (on Instagram) and victimhood (on TikTok), where the content creator is a right-wing populist leader who is unfavorably perceived by the respondents in the s...
Introduction: The sustainable implementation of socially assistive robots in a pharmacy setting requires that customers trust the robot. Our aim was to explore young adults’ anticipations of and motives for trusting robot medication counseling in a high-stakes scenario.
Methods: Through a co-creation approach, we co-designed a prototype application...
The growing impact and importance of artificial intelligence in society has led to an increasing interest for the potential of artificial intelligence as an educational tool in schools to aid both students and teachers. In this study we investigate digitally skilled K-12 mathematics teachers’ (N=85) attitudes towards and expectations on the role of...
This paper presents the findings of an exploratory, qualitative case study where dental professionals’ and care clients’ experiences of and expectations for robot accent are explored. Our research focuses on humanoid, social, co-located robots advising clients in standard Sweden-Swedish on preventive dental selfcare. As steps in a two-year co-creat...
This paper explores the potential use of a social robot as tutor and playing partner in a primary school mathematics classroom. Our approach is using a math card game, based on the understanding of fractions, to study the pupil-robot interaction. We follow an iterative process consisting of three consecutive phases: (1) data collection involving a...
Learning how to actively theorise music is a complex process which is challenging to observe and describe for teachers, students and researchers. In this study, we explore the potential of a mixed-methods research design for understanding how theorising is developed and how the different methodological approaches used in the study can improve our u...
This position paper describes the experimental behavior design of the adaptable humanoid social robot Pepper in four different roles in class. In 2018 and 2019, we held English classes in seven Finnish elementary schools with a twofold mission. Our aim was both to showcase these four different social roles in an English class of 5th graders and to...
