This paper presents a first study in which recently reported intermodal perceptual illusion known as the rubber hand is experimentally investigated under mediated conditions. When one's own placed out of view and visible fake repeatedly stroked tapped synchrony with unseen hand, subjects report strong sense experienced part their body. In our experiment, we this three conditions: (i) unmediated condition, replicating original paradigm, (ii) virtual reality (VR) where both its stimulation...

Anthropomorphism is generally defined as the attribution of human-like characteristics to social robots and other non-human objects. We argue that different researchers have interpretations this concept, leading measuring instruments focus on subsets characteristics. In current paper, we discuss these explore a new method for anthropomorphism, based Rasch model. The aim work map anthropomorphism range one-dimensional scale. scale's validity sensitivity were tested by comparing it with two...
A brief touch on the upper arm increases people's altruistic behavior and willingness to comply with a request. In this paper, we investigate whether Midas phenomenon would also occur under mediated conditions (i.e., touching via an strap equipped electromechanical actuators). Helping was more frequently endorsed in touch, compared no-touch condition, but difference not found be statistically significant. However, meta-analytical comparison published research demonstrated that strength of...
In two studies, we took a prospect-refuge based perspective to investigate how lighting and other physical attributes (i.e., prospect, concealment, entrapment) affect people's judgments of the safety urban streets during nighttime. Both studies complement existing research, which predominantly use factorial designs, with more ecologically valid correlational research using large representative sample as stimulus materials. Results from Study 1 corroborate demonstrating that differences in...
The quality of campus environments plays an important role in the mental health college students. However, impact nighttime lighting settings has received limited attention. This study examines how different landscape conditions affect emotions and perceived restorative potential, providing a mixed-method research framework to assess landscapes. was conducted on section roadway under three scenarios: daytime (cloudy conditions) two (landscape lights streetlights, streetlights only). We...
In this paper, we investigate whether the gender differences generally found in same and opposite sex social touch are also present mediated situations. Participants were led to believe that a male or female stranger was remotely touching them by means of vest equipped with vibrotactile actuators. Affective responses varied stimulated body location, but effect dyad composition not significant. sum, partial support for assumption is actually perceived as real touch. Possible improvements...
Abstract. In this paper, we develop two behavior-based privacy-need measures for office environments. These new scales are designed as objective measures, since they try to avoid introspection. One scale assesses people's motivation withdraw from social interaction (i.e., the Need-For-Privacy [NFP]) and other seek exchange Need-For-Socializing [NFS]). Based on survey data 204 bank employees, our newly-developed demonstrated reasonable reliabilities (> .70). Regarding construct validity,...
Postphenomenology and mediation theory strongly explain the micro-level interactions between human individuals objects. Recently, humans as a collective have been added to at political macro-level, which we argue that is an important contribution. However, enlargement of would also merit meso-level explanation role collectives, in micro- macro-level. For this purpose, introduce triangle, illustrating three bidirectional relations, all mediated by technology: human-object, human-collective,...
Urban parks and forests are important for wellbeing, but feelings of unsafety limited their usage. Removal vegetation from hotspots fear is sometimes recommended as a means boosting safety. However such actions should be approached with caution. One explanation, based on prospect-refuge theory, that plants increase perceptions danger because contribution to setting’s effectiveness in concealing criminals. It also believed people do not like urban green spaces containing trees shrubs can act...

Abstract Routing choices of walking pedestrians in geometrically complex environments are regulated by the interplay a multitude factors such as local crowding, (estimated) time to destination, and (perceived) comfort. As individual combine, macroscopic traffic flow patterns emerge. Understanding physical mechanisms yielding distributions with geometries is an outstanding scientific challenge, implications design management crowded pedestrian facilities. In this work, we analyze, means...
Many existing methods of statistical inference and analysis rely heavily on the assumption that data are normally distributed. However, normality is not fulfilled when dealing with which does contain negative values or otherwise skewed – a common occurrence in diverse disciplines such as finance, economics, political science, sociology, philology, biology physical industrial processes. In this situation, lognormal distribution may better represent than normal distribution. paper, I re-visit...
