It often comes with rather uncommon usage patterns of coding, going beyond technologies' affordances and finding ways of appropriating them in an individual way and in exchange with others.

The paper presents a qualitative analysis of the structure of these spaces, and the appropriation-related communication taking place. It shows how crucial the varying designs of the learning ecologies and the implemented interaction possibilities are for the appropriation activities taking place and draws a line to the desire for stronger participation in postdigital curation.}, subject = {Codierung}, language = {en} } @article{AckermannMaue, author = {Ackermann, Judith and Mau{\´e}, Rahel}, title = {Employing Game Design for Forensic Aesthetics}, series = {Disegno industriale : Theor{\`i}a, p{\`o}iesis, praxis}, journal = {Disegno industriale : Theor{\`i}a, p{\`o}iesis, praxis}, number = {85}, publisher = {University of Bologna}, address = {Bologna}, issn = {1594-8528}, doi = {10.30682/diid8525c}, pages = {44 -- 55}, abstract = {This article explores how game design can serve as a method of forensic aesthetics by investigating and representing social realities through immersive, interactive experiences. It asks: How can practice-based design research, informed by forensic aesthetics, be used to develop immersive, narrative-based VR experiences that communicate marginalized mental health realities and challenge systemic stigma? Drawing on practice-based design research and artistic research, it presents the development of a VR experience (hopohopo), designed to raise awareness for Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). Through usability and immersion testing the study demonstrates how informed, affective design can convey the lived realities of marginalized individuals. Rather than seeking legal judgment, hopohopo symbolically uncovers societal neglect of mental illness, using surreal aesthetics, narrative storytelling, and sensory immersion to evoke empathy and challenge stigma. This approach highlights the potential of games and game design as investigative and experiential tools within forensic aesthetics.}, subject = {K{\"u}nstlerische Forschung}, language = {en} } @article{AmbrasatvonScheveSchauenburgetal., author = {Ambrasat, Jens and von Scheve, Christian and Schauenburg, Gesche and Conrad, Markus and Schr{\"o}der, Tobias}, title = {Unpacking the Habitus}, series = {Sociological Forum}, volume = {31}, journal = {Sociological Forum}, number = {4}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {1573-7861}, doi = {10.1111/socf.12293}, pages = {994 -- 1017}, abstract = {The concept of habitus refers to socially stratified patterns of perception, classification, and thinking that are supposed to bring about specific lifestyles. Until now, research on the links between stratification and lifestyles has accounted for the habitus mainly in conceptual and theoretical terms, and studies directly measuring habitus and its association with stratification and lifestyles are rare. The present study conceptualizes the habitus as an individual-level pattern of meaning making and suggests an operationalization that is commonly used in identity research. Using survey data of 3,438 respondents, the study investigates associations between different lifestyles and patterns of meaning making. Results show, first, that self-related meanings vary systematically across lifestyle categories and mirror respondents' stratification position. Second, the meanings of various social concepts also vary significantly across lifestyle categories and partly reflect descriptive lifestyle characteristics.

Data from a cross-sectional online-survey (November 2022 - January 2023) of 1916 adults connected to Berlin's nightlife-scene were analyzed. Almost a quarter reported having experienced drink-spiking, but only a small fraction sought medical or police attention; about 1\% suspected needle-spiking. Presumptive victims of drink-spiking rated the likelihood and fear of spiking significantly higher and exhibited more symptoms of depression and anxiety.

However, targeted prevention and treatment strategies are lacking, and little is known about the specific needs of users regarding supportive approaches. Methods To address this gap, a mixed-methods longitudinal study was conducted with two waves of online data collection (11/2022-01/2023; 11/2023-01/2024) in Germany. The adult convenience sample (N = 2,196, with n = 240 participating in the follow-up) was mostly connected to Berlin's nightlife scene and included GHB/GBL/BD users and their (non-user) social environment. Perceptions and needs regarding prevention and harm-reduction, reasons and measures of decreasing use, and the impact of GHB/GBL/BD use were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Results Education, harm reduction strategies, and specialized support options were welcomed by users and non-users, while restrictive approaches were viewed negatively, particularly by heavy users. Many participants expressed a desire to reduce GHB/GBL/BD use, driven primarily by health concerns, immediate use risks, and addiction, but only few participants had previously accessed preventive/therapeutic services. The follow-up showed little change in perceptions and experiences over time. Conclusions The findings underscore the need for comprehensive and integrative prevention and treatment strategies for GHB/GBL/BD use, with harm reduction approaches prioritized over restrictions. They provide a crucial foundation for future research and interventions and emphasize the necessity of adequately addressing the growing issues related to GHB/GBL/BD use.}, subject = {Drogenabh{\"a}ngigkeit}, language = {en} } @article{BeneckeHuberStaatsetal., author = {Benecke, Cord and Huber, Dorothea and Staats, Hermann and Zimmermann, Johannes and Henkel, Miriam and Deserno, Heinrich and Wiegand-Grefe, Silke and Schauenburg, Henning}, title = {A Comparison of Psychoanalytic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety (Panic/Agoraphobia) and Personality Disorders (APD Study)}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Psychosomatische Medizin und Psychotherapie}, volume = {62}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Psychosomatische Medizin und Psychotherapie}, number = {3}, publisher = {Vandenhoeck \& Ruprecht}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, issn = {1438-3608}, doi = {10.13109/zptm.2016.62.3.252}, pages = {252 -- 269}, abstract = {Angstst{\"o}rungen, insbesondere Panikst{\"o}rungen und Agoraphobie, sind weitverbreitete psychische St{\"o}rungen, die eine hohe Komorbidit{\"a}t mit Pers{\"o}nlichkeitsst{\"o}rungen aufweisen.

In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in participatory research strategies. The articles in this special issue come from different disciplines. Against the background of concrete empirical research projects, they address numerous conceptual considerations and methodological approaches. After reading the contributions, and engaging with the authors' arguments, the authors were prompted to focus in particular on those areas in which further work needs to be done. They include, on the one hand, fundamental principles of participatory research, such as democratic-theory considerations, the concept of 'safe space', participation issues, and ethical questions. And, on the other hand, the authors focus an practical research considerations regarding the rote and tasks of the various participants; specific methodological approaches; and quality criteria - understood here in the sense of arguments justifying a participatory approach. The authors' aim is to stimulate a broad discussion that does not focus only on participatory research in the narrower sense. Because participatory methodology poses certain knowledge- and research-related questions in a radical way, it has the potential to draw attention to hitherto neglected areas in qualitative methodology and to stimulate their further development.}, subject = {Studienordnung}, language = {en} } @article{BoschmannStaatsWiegandGrefe, author = {Boschmann, Annika and Staats, Hermann and Wiegand-Grefe, Silke}, title = {Older patients' perspectives on the therapeutic relationship with young psychotherapists}, series = {PLOS ONE}, volume = {19}, journal = {PLOS ONE}, number = {5}, address = {San Francisco}, organization = {Public Library of Science}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0295834}, abstract = {The current demographic change means that young psychotherapists and older patients will increasingly come into contact. Unique for this constellation is the intergenerational therapeutic relationship, which forms the basis of psychotherapy, but has not yet been the focus of empirical research. This qualitative study provides preliminary insights into how older patients (aged over 65) experience and perceive the therapeutic relationship with young psychotherapists (aged in their mid-20s to mid-30s). We conducted semi-structured interviews with twelve older patients (8 women, 4 men) and analysed their data using the grounded theory approach. We found a connection between the type of transference a participant demonstrated and their biographical as well as social experiences, desires, and fantasies. Overall, a tendency to seek harmony was observed among the participants, which was reflected in their behaviour towards young psychotherapists: (a) conflict avoidance, (b) (fantasised) therapy discontinuation, (c) adaption/subordination, and (d) solidarity, support, and protection. Our findings demonstrated that various intergenerational transference phenomena, including the roles in which young therapists are perceived, are associated with certain particularities and challenges, such as the topic of sexuality. It can be valuable for young psychotherapists to become aware of a potential role reversal that may result in older patients trying to support them.}, subject = {Klient}, language = {en} } @article{ColleGrosseBehneetal., author = {Colle, Livia and Große, Gerlind and Behne, Tanya and Tomasello, Michael}, title = {Just teasing! - Infants' and toddlers' understanding of teasing interactions and its effect on social bonding}, series = {Cognition}, journal = {Cognition}, number = {231}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1873-7838}, doi = {10.1016/j.cognition.2022.105314}, abstract = {The current study investigates infants' and toddlers' understanding of teasing interactions and its effect on subsequent social interactions. Teasing is a special kind of social interaction due to its dual nature: It consists of a slightly provocative contingent action accompanied by positive ostensive emotional cues. Teasing thus presents an especially interesting test case to inform us about young children's abilities to deal with complex social intentions. In a first experiment, we looked at 9-, 12-, and 18-month-old infants' ability to understand and differentiate a teasing intention from a trying intention and a refuse intention. We found that by 12 months of age, infants react differently (gaze, reach) and by 18 months they smile more in reaction to the Tease condition. In the second experiment, we tested 13-, 20- and 30-month-old children in closely matched purely playful and teasing situations. We also investigated potential social effects of teasing interactions on a subsequent affiliation sequence. Twenty- and 30-month-old children smile more in the Teasing than in the Play condition. For the 30-month-old toddlers, additionally, number of laughs is much higher in the Tease than in the Play condition. No effect on affiliation could be found. Thus, from very early in development, infants and toddlers are able to differentiate teasing from superficially similar but serious behavior and from around 18 months of age they enjoy it more. Infants and toddlers are able to process a complex social intention like teasing.

As such, understanding the degree to which commercially-available generative language models (LLMs) replicate human judgements of affective connotations may help better understand human-model interactions. LLMs may also serve as useful tools for researchers seeking affective meaning estimates. We test the ability of three LLMs - GPT-4o, Mistral Large, and Llama 3.1 - to estimate human affective connotation ratings of words representing social identities, behaviours, modifiers, and settings in three language cultures: English (US), French (France), and German (Germany). We find that LLM ratings of terms correlate strongly with human ratings. However, their ratings tend to be overly extreme and patterns of correlations between meaning dimensions only loosely approximate those of human ratings. Consistent with previous findings of English-language and American biases in LLMs, we find that LLMs tend to perform better on English terms, though this pattern varies somewhat by meaning dimension and the type of term in question. We explore how LLMs might contribute to scholarship on affective connotations - by acting as tools for measurement - and how scholarship on affective connotations might contribute to generative language models - by guiding exploration of model biases.}, subject = {Affektivit{\"a}t}, language = {en} }
