Topologies of social interactions [PDF]
Economic Theory, 2006 The paper extends the Brock-Durlauf social interactions model to richer social structures modelled with arbitrary interaction topologies and examines in detail the star, the wheel and the path. It explores Nash equilibria when agents act on the basis of expectations over, and, alternatively, actual knowledge their neighbors’ decisions.

Creativity. Theories – Research - Applications, 2016 Abstract In this editorial we discuss the reasons behind choosing social interactions as the theme for this CTRA special issue. We briefly describe the transition in creativity research from a paradigm centered on the individual and his/her intra-psychological predispositions to one focused on the social, systemic approach to creativity ...

Social inclusion of robots depends on the way a robot is presented to observers
Paladyn, 2022 Research has shown that people evaluate others according to specific categories. As this phenomenon seems to transfer from human–human to human–robot interactions, in the present study we focused on (1) the degree of prior knowledge about technology, in ...

Social Interactions and Unemployment [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003 This paper is concerned with social interactions and their importance for unemployment. A theoretical model is specified in which the social and psychological costs of unemployment depend upon the unemployment level. The theoretical analysis reveals social multiplier effects, and shows that multiple unemployment equilibria may emerge.

Upper limb exercise with physical and virtual robots: Visual sensitivity affects task performance
Paladyn, 2021 We investigated the influence of visual sensitivity on the performance of an imitation task with the robot R1 in its virtual and physical forms. Virtual and physical embodiments offer different sensory experience to the users.

Assessing Automatic Approach-Avoidance Behavior in an Immersive Virtual Environment
Frontiers in Virtual Reality, 2021 The use of virtual reality (VR) promises enormous potential for studying human behavior. While approach and avoidance tendencies have been explored in various areas of basic and applied psychology, such as attitude and emotion research, basic learning ...

Do We Adopt the Intentional Stance Toward Humanoid Robots?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 In daily social interactions, we need to be able to navigate efficiently through our social environment. According to Dennett (1971), explaining and predicting others’ behavior with reference to mental states (adopting the intentional stance) allows ...

Ambiguity and social interaction [PDF]
Oxford Economic Papers, 2003 We present a non-technical account of ambiguity in strategic games and show how it may be applied to economics and social sciences. Optimistic and pessimistic responses to ambiguity are formally modelled. We show that pessimism has the effect of increasing (decreasing) equilibrium prices under Cournot (Bertrand) competition.
