Cross-Cultural Affective Evaluation of Kawaii Robots in Virtual Spaces
No full textIn modern society, robots have been increasingly involved in human lives in various scenarios. As a future society with human-robot interaction is approaching, it is important to consider how to develop robots that give positive impressions for a variety of users. Based on an Affective Engineering approach, affective values can strengthen the impact of the first impressions of products. Kawaiiness is one affective value that can be a key factor in developing robots with positive impressions. In this research, we carried out a collaborative project to design and develop kawaii robot prototypes in virtual spaces by American and Japanese university students. We then performed an experiment on affective evaluation of those robots using 10 adjectives: kawaii/cute, approachable, scary, trustworthy, cool, beautiful, polite, comfortable, and soft. We previously presented our statistical analysis results for the adjective “kawaii/cute.” However, the results of other adjectives, which potentially have effects on the robot impression, have not been presented yet. Therefore, in this paper, we present our further analysis of several adjectives to clarify their relationship with kawaii/cute and robot features across genders and cultures. In addition, we statistically analyzed the effects of robot pairs, adjectives, genders, and cultures. The results suggest that robots with features such as more animal-like, rounder, and shorter tend to increase positive impressions such as kawaii, approachability, beauty, comfortable, and softness. Also, we found no difference across gender and culture for the impressions on kawaii robots, which shows the possibility of expanding the concept of kawaii robots worldwide
An Open Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms
Get PDFThis textbook serves as a gentle introduction for undergraduates to theoretical concepts in data structures and algorithms in computer science while providing coverage of practical implementation (coding) issues. The field of computer science (CS) supports a multitude of essential technologies in science, engineering, and communication as a social medium. The varied and interconnected nature of computer technology permeates countless career paths making CS a popular and growing major program. Mastery of the science behind computer science relies on an understanding of the theory of algorithms and data structures. These concepts underlie the fundamental tradeoffs that dictate performance in terms of speed, memory usage, and programming complexity that separate novice programmers from professional practitioners
Risk and refuge: The role of the commonplace in navigating crisis in Recollections from an uncommon time: 4C20 documentarian tales
Get PDFThis collection of original essays was occasioned first by the 2020 Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) Annual Convention, and then, later, by the cancellation of it. As originally planned, Documentarians (attendees in a newly created role) would share their experiences of the CCCC Convention. After the meeting was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the collection became a means for the Documentarians to share a common experience in this uncommon time. As the volume editors write, Expect to have some of the tales resonate with your experiences and others to depict a process of sensemaking that might not align with your own. Some of the tales, and the learning they depict, are still in process - they\u27re still happening. All of this is to say that this collection of Documentarian Tales might challenge your sensibilities . . . it might not fall together quite how you expect or even how you hope it may. But really - given its mission, its diverse sites of origin and diverse authorship - how could it? We ask you to take a moment, read, and listen to each other. The essays in this collection relate the shared experience of disruption in our work lives - which, as it turns out, also teaches us how deeply the terms of our work are implicated in our experiences of home, family, and everyday routines
An Autoethnographic Account of Faculty-on-Student Abuse: Walking on Eggshells in Doctoral Students’ Identities and Emotional Wellbeing in Applied Linguistics: Autoethnographic Accounts
No full textSystematic bullying is rampant in academia, particularly against women and women of color. Such bullying is particularly salient in institutions with Ph.D. programs, where faculty-student relationships may play a significant role in the outcomes of Ph.D. students\u27 academic trajectory. The purpose of this chapter is to critically examine the hierarchical social structures that construct academic culture and uphold power inequities to the disadvantage of students. Specifically, I use personal narratives relating to bullying in academia in order to connect individual experiences to a broader discussion of the power inequities that covertly – and often overtly – —govern academic culture. This chapter further looks at how these power inequities, particularly between faculty and students, are compounded by intersectional, minoritized identities. I conclude by calling on members of the academic community in privileged positions of power to not only support and protect vulnerable students, but also hold one another accountable for bullying and/or for tacit approval of it
