No full textSharing intelligent services between homes
No full textThe user’s environment is increasingly enriched with computing devices that offer services that aid users in their daily activities. Current use of these services is either public (i.e. unrestricted), or requires explicit registration. In the first case, user control and security are sacrificed whilst in the second ease of use and flexibility is limited. In this paper, we extend the perspective of user-centric computing in offering guests a simple and transparent way to access their home services from a visited intelligent environment. We provide the users with a Personal Access Device (PAD) that facilitates creation of trust between the user’s own home and a visited intelligent environment. This enables seamless access to home services from the visited environment.Henk Eertink, Remco Poortinga, Tom Broens, Stephan Tobies, Andrew Tokmakoff, Aart van Haltere

Cross-Cultural Meta-Analyses
Get PDFIn the enormous collection of cross-cultural data that have been published during the last few decades it is difficult to perceive patterns. There is a clear need for systematizing the vast amount of cross-cultural studies and for developing models that explain cross-cultural differences in psychology. Two methods of cross-cultural meta-analysis can be distinguished. First, the instrument-based method of comparing data for one instrument across countries is suitable for instruments which have been administered in many countries. Second, a domain-based meta-analysis used a thematic domain from which culture-comparative studies are sampled instead of one specific instrument or method

Social Motives and Their Development in Cultural Context
Get PDFThis paper deals with differences in social motives between cultures and with respect to their development. First, social motives are described as complex functional systems. Then aggressiveness and achievement motivation are dealt with as examples. Assumptions about biological factors are discussed and cultural differences are reported. Based on cross-cultural research, variations in early mother-child relations and in cultural norms and values are discussed as main sources of individual and cultural differences
Cultural diversity and work-group performance: Detecting the rules
Get PDFWith greater levels of international cooperation, work-groups are increasingly composed of members from different cultures. These groups often suffer from communication problems; however, research suggests that they also benefit from their members cultural diversity and generate higher ranges of problem perspectives. This thesis investigates two questions: first, when do diverse groups generate a higher range of perspectives; second, which skill do group members need to benefit from cultural diversity? In order to investigate the conditions for diversity benefits, student groups of high national diversity were compared with student groups of low national diversity while working together creating a new game. Empirical findings suggest, first, cultural diversity inhibits idea generation in the initial stage; second, cultural diversity affects communication much less then expected, and, third, the absence of communication difficulties is no sufficient condition for achieving the diversity benefits. The author concludes that without training, group members have difficulty detecting cultural differences that could lead to greater idea variation. Hence, the second part of the thesis proposes a training method for the skill to detect cultural differences. An evaluation study of the training method comparing trained with un-trained students supports the effectiveness of the training method
