Behavior Modification01:21

Behavior Modification

Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.

Attribution Theory00:56

Attribution Theory

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958). An internal factor is an...
Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence categorization, a person will feel...
Aggression01:47

Aggression

Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for hire...
Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...
Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances01:29

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Understanding human and anthropomorphic manipulation is crucial for robotics and human-computer interaction.
  • Existing classifications lack the detail to differentiate nuanced manipulation behaviors.
  • A standardized taxonomy is needed to facilitate research and development in manipulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel taxonomy for the detailed classification of human and anthropomorphic manipulation behavior.
  • To establish a standard language for discussing and analyzing manipulation tasks.
  • To enable a better understanding of the differences in hand use across various behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a hand-centric and motion-centric taxonomy.
  • Differentiated tasks based on object contact, prehension, and object motion relative to a hand frame.
  • Introduced a sub-classification for within-hand manipulation based on object rotation/translation axes.
  • Presented principles for categorizing complex, multi-faceted tasks with illustrative examples.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive taxonomy for classifying manipulation behaviors has been established.
  • The taxonomy differentiates tasks based on key interaction and motion parameters.
  • A detailed sub-classification for within-hand manipulation provides finer granularity.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed taxonomy offers a standardized language for human and anthropomorphic manipulation.
  • It facilitates a deeper understanding of the variations in hand use.
  • The taxonomy is adaptable for application to robot manipulators and end-effectors.
