The current study sought to advance our understanding of the connections between stress, perceived control, affect, and physiology in daily life. To achieve this goal, we integrated hourly ambulatory physiological experiential data from young adult participants who experienced work or academic stressors over course a day. Participants wore cardiovascular monitor that recorded heart rate continuously for 8 h while random Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) were collected personally relevant...

The current study investigated age differences in the use of attentional deployment, positive reappraisal and suppression while regulating responses to sadness-eliciting content. We also tested what extent these emotion regulation strategies were useful for each group managing response age-relevant sad information. Forty-two young participants (Mage = 18.5, SE .15) 48 older 71.42, 1.15) watched four videos (about death/illness, five minutes long) under conditions—no-regulation (no...

Robot assistive technology is becoming increasingly prevalent. Despite the growing body of research in this area, role type interaction (i.e., small groups versus individual interactions) on effectiveness interventions still unclear. In paper, we explore a new direction for socially robotics, where multiple robotic characters interact with children an interactive storytelling scenario. We conducted between-subjects repeated study single child or group three interacted robots narrative...

Robots are machines and as such do not have gender. However, many of the gender-related perceptions expectations formed in human-human interactions may be inadvertently unreasonably transferred to with social robots. In this paper, we investigate how gender effects people's perception robots humans depend on their emotional intelligence (EI), a crucial component successful human interactions. Our results show that participants perceive different levels EI just they humans. Also, affected by...

The introduction of semi-automated driving systems is expected to mitigate the safety consequences human error. Observational findings suggest that relinquishing control vehicle operational assistance might diminish driver engagement in task, by reducing levels arousal. In this study, drivers drove a Tesla Model S with Autopilot both and manual modes. Driver behavior was monitored using combination physiological behavioral measures. Compared driving, reduction activation observed during...

Abstract While previous research has linked executive attention to emotion regulation, the current study investigated role of attentional alerting (i.e., efficient use external warning cues) on younger (N=39) and older (N=44) adults' gaze regulate their mood in real time. Participants viewed highly arousing unpleasant images while reporting were instructed deliberately manage how they felt minimise effect those stimuli mood. Fixations toward most negative areas recorded with eye tracking. We...

Role-play scenarios have been considered a successful learning space for children to develop their social and emotional abilities. In this paper, we investigate whether socially assistive robots in role-playing settings are as effective with small groups of they single child, individual factors such gender, grade level (first vs. second), perception the (peer adult), empathy (low high) play role these two interaction contexts. We conducted three-week repeated exposure experiment where 40...

Identifying social gaffes is important for maintaining relationships.Older adults are less able than young to discriminate between socially appropriate and inappropriate behavior in video clips.One open question how these appropriateness ratings relate potential age differences the perception of what actually funny or not.In present study, young, middle-aged, older were equally a diverse set clips relevant both groups.However, middle-aged rated gaffe as funnier control smiled more during...

ABSTRACT Stressor forecasting predicts the likelihood of a stressful event occurring in an upcoming timeframe and can significantly influence everyday experiences. The current study aimed to understand how stressor may moderate links between hourly stress affective experiences over course day. An ecological momentary assessment approach was used collect data from 304 participants about their predicted personally relevant stressors 10 times within We that would relationship (separately for...

Despite advances in understanding emotion regulation (ER) flexibility (e.g., flexibly using ER strategies to meet situational demands), there is heterogeneity conceptualizations. To address this, we provide a unifying operationalization for and person-specific framework. We define as the ability continuously monitor effectiveness of chosen one's goals situation adjust strategies, needed, response changes internal states affect, beliefs about emotions) external contextual demands regulatory...

Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a widely used methodology in psychological sciences; however, more broadly, environmental scientists have yet to fully capitalize on the benefits this method offers for gaining critical understanding of subjective and behavioral responses factors. EMA enables collection experiences actions occurring one's natural environment as they unfold over time, allowing researchers gain contextually informed, dynamic, longitudinal insights. can provide an...

Abstract COVID‐19 has contributed to unexpected stressors in daily life, and emotion regulation is an important area of research during post‐pandemic gain knowledge the effect pandemic on regulatory processes. We adopted ecologically valid approach collect 10 experience sampling events within same day examine how college students regulated their emotions a typical weekday simultaneous hedonic association these strategies affective experience.

Despite improvement to the public’s awareness of climate change, we have yet achieve necessary transformations our planet’s future–we believe that educators can and should be an influential catalyst in shift. Educators around world foster people with a deep understanding change capacity address it. In this paper, synthesize existing education literature put forward clear definition concept <i>climate literac</i>y. We then draw attention significant problem literacy</i>,...

Abstract Even the most junior Warfighters must effectively interact and negotiate with locals from communities that do not share their religious beliefs, social perspectives or customs. These cultural differences introduce a layer of uncertainty into chaotic operational contexts are marked by moments intense stress, often contribute to strong emotional responses such as anxiety anger. Unchecked, these can escalate lead make judgments decisions they might otherwise make. In high stakes...

This research explores the effect of partial vehicle automation on neural indices mental workload and visual engagement during on-road driving.There is concern that introduction automated technology in vehicles may lead to low driver stimulation subsequent disengagement from driving environment. Simulator-based studies have examined a driver's cognitive state, but it unknown how conclusions translate driving. Electroencephalographic (EEG) measures frontal theta parietal alpha can provide...

Previous work with non-social human-robot interaction has found no links between trust and reliance [1]. The current study tested the question: Can social interactions moderate trust-reliance relationship? Human-robot may share similar characteristics to emotional humans. We investigated how relationship impacts perceived stress coping abilities. In experimental condition, were used guide dialogue a participant virtual robot in order promote team building. matched control...

The current study reports the first investigation of age-related changes in emotional coherence across multiple response systems (experiential, physiological, and expressive) sadness reactivity regulation. Some accounts indirectly suggest that blunted physiological responses to stimuli (e.g., Mendes, 2010) may lead an decline coherence, whereas a conflicting account suggests age-relevant content can modulate Kunzmann & Grühn, 2005), which has potential increase older adults. We therefore...

Introduction Partial driving automation is not always reliable and requires that drivers maintain readiness to take over control manually operate the vehicle. Little known about differences in drivers’ arousal cognitive demands under partial how it may make difficult for transition from automated manual modes. This research examined whether there are during versus driving. Method We compared (using heart rate) root mean square of successive normal heartbeats; RMSSD, Detection Response Task;...

Abstract Purposefulness may facilitate self‐regulation; however, little is known about the self‐regulatory strategies that are implemented by purposeful individuals. Given multiple regulatory challenges students face in their social and academic lives, a central aim of current work was to consider how purposefulness self‐regulation linked during first semester university. This 13‐week‐long study conducted with first‐semester college ( N = 256) United States America examine whether weekly...
