While VR-based therapeutic interventions are increasingly well-established, the application of VR in the field of mental health awareness represents a novel and promising development. We present our mental health awareness VR application "hopohopo", in which the user takes the perspective of a person suffering from social anxiety. Through the VR journey, the user experiences what it could feel like to suffer from constant fear of being negatively judged by others in everyday social situations. The aim of the application is to allow nonaffected users to expand their knowledge and to raise mental health awareness. In this paper, we report our findings on the potential of this immersive VR application for psychoeducation and destigmatization of social anxiety. In this respect, we provide the scope of our VR application and first results of its ongoing usability and usefulness evaluation process.}, subject = {Mensch-Maschine-Kommunikation}, language = {en} } @article{LuthardtSchroederHildebrandtetal., author = {Luthardt, Jasmin and Schr{\"o}der, Tobias and Hildebrandt, Frauke and Bormann, Inka}, title = {"And then we'll just check if it suits us" : cognitive-affective maps of social innovation in early childhood education}, series = {Frontiers in Education}, volume = {5}, journal = {Frontiers in Education}, publisher = {Frontiers Media}, address = {Lausanne}, issn = {2504-284X}, doi = {10.3389/feduc.2020.00033}, pages = {19}, abstract = {The idea that a simple execution of an innovation invented by actors other than those who are expected to apply it is not likely to take place is a truism.

We aim to shed light on an innovation's 'journey' from educational policy over training providers to teams of professionals in early childhood education and care (ECEC). By investigating knowledge and emotions associated with the introduction of an intended innovation using the example of "stimulation interactions" in day care-centers, the paper contributes to research on the transfer of innovations in education. To better understand challenges occurring during the transfer of innovations, we triangulate methods from discourse theory (coding techniques based on GTM) and cognitive science, namely cognitive-affective mapping (according to the scholarly conventions). The data corpus includes educational plans (N = 2), in-service training programs (N = 123) and group discussions of pedagogical teams (N = 6) who participated in an in-service training on the subject, stimulating interaction. Findings underline that similar messages from the inventors on the educational policy level are received and processed heterogeneously by the teams of pedagogues as a result of their preexisting views, routine practices and experiences with intended innovations through in-service trainings. Besides, a diffuse mixture of competing and contradictory information is communicated to the professionals and, hence, collides with the in-service training providers' and educational policy actors' expectations on the processing of the intended innovation. Specific knowledge elements and their valences are diametrically opposed to each other. Dissonances like these are considered as obstacles to social innovation. The obstacles are caused by the lack of a 'common language' beyond all levels. Hence, policy-makers and in-service-training providers should anticipate the supportive as well as competing knowledge-emotional complexes of professionals and take these into account when communicating an intended innovation.}, subject = {Sozialinnovation}, language = {en} } @incollection{McRobert, author = {McRobert, Korinna}, title = {Young survivors of sexual abuse as 'children out of place'}, series = {Intersectionality and Difference in Childhood and Youth}, booktitle = {Intersectionality and Difference in Childhood and Youth}, edition = {1st Edition}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-0-367-72916-5}, doi = {10.4324/9780429466588-10}, publisher = {Fachhochschule Potsdam}, pages = {143 -- 157}, abstract = {This chapter looks at children 'out of place' as a category, focusing on the example of the sexually abused and thus sexually exposed child as experiencing an 'out of place' childhood.

It crucially relies on an object-file (OF) system, representing both spatiotemporal ("where") and categorical ("what") information about objects as solid, cohesive bodies moving continuously in space and time. However, infants' performance in tasks requiring them to use featural information to detect individuation violations appears to be at odds with the object-first account. In such cases, infants do not appear to be able to develop correct expectations about the numerosity of objects. Recently, proponents of the object-first account proposed that these individuation failures result from integration errors between the OF system and an additional physical reasoning system. We are going to argue that the predictions of a feature-based physical-reasoning (PR) system are sufficient for explaining infants' behavior.

This white paper summarizes the results of our research at the end of the grant term. Funded by the Trans-Atlantic Platform's Digging Into Data initiative, the project aimed at theoretical and empirical modeling of identity and sentiments in collaborative groups. Understanding the social forces behind self-organized collaboration is important because technological and social innovations are increasingly generated through informal, distributed processes of collaboration, rather than in formal organizational hierarchies or through market forces. Our work used a data-driven approach to explore the social psychological mechanisms that motivate such collaborations and determine their success or failure. We focused on the example of GitHub, the world's current largest digital platform for open, collaborative software development. In contrast to most, purely inductive contemporary approaches leveraging computational techniques for social science, THEMIS.COG followed a deductive, theory-driven approach. We capitalized on affect control theory, a mathematically formalized theory of symbolic interaction originated by sociologist David R. Heise and further advanced in previous work by some of the THEMIS.COG collaborators, among others. Affect control theory states that people control their social behaviours by intuitively attempting to verify culturally shared feelings about identities, social roles, and behaviour settings. From this principle, implemented in computational simulation models, precise predictions about group dynamics can be derived. It was the goal of THEMIS.COG to adapt and apply this approach to study the GitHub collaboration ecosystem through a symbolic interactionist lens.

Method: A total of 428 patients diagnosed with various mental disorders according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, underwent treatment with either PP or AP. Diagnoses were reassessed at the end of treatment, and patients provided annual self-reports of their mental health over a 6-year period. We employed propensity score methods and piecewise linear latent growth curve models to estimate treatment effects on primary outcomes (i.e., number of diagnoses, symptom distress) and secondary outcomes (i.e., personality dysfunction, interpersonal problems, general life satisfaction). Results: Patients exhibited substantial and sustained improvements across all outcomes in both treatments. Notably, those receiving AP experienced greater (long-term) improvement in primary and most secondary outcomes compared to those in PP. Improvements in PP primarily occurred during the 1st year, while AP patients continued to show progress throughout the entire observation period. For some outcomes (symptom distress, personality dysfunction, and interpersonal problems), AP was particularly effective for patients with more severe problems at baseline. Conclusions: Psychoanalytically oriented treatments in routine care are associated with substantial and lasting improvements, even posttreatment. Our findings highlight an incremental benefit of AP over PP, particularly for complex cases.

In closing, two accounts of object cognition that do not rely on symbolic capacities, namely Pylyshyn's FINST indexes and Burge's perceptual objectivity, are critically discussed.}, subject = {Kind}, language = {en} } @article{ThomasAlbrechtKorntheueretal., author = {Thomas, Stefan and Albrecht, Pauline and Korntheuer, Annette and Bucher, Judith}, title = {Researching educational barriers in participatory real-world labs}, series = {Frontiers in Education}, volume = {9}, journal = {Frontiers in Education}, publisher = {Frontiers Media S.A.}, address = {Lausanne}, issn = {2504-284X}, doi = {10.3389/feduc.2024.1250886}, pages = {1 -- 18}, abstract = {Introduction: As a result of the large-scale arrivals of refugees and migrants, Germany is facing the challenge of providing inclusive education pathways not at least for a successful integration into the labor market.

In particular, racism and discrimination are significant barriers to refugee participation in society and education. Our contribution addresses the following research question: How is educational inclusion discussed and defined in and through real-world labs among stakeholders in four rural districts: social workers, educators, policymakers, administration, and young refugees? Methods: We initiated real-world labs as a space for collaborative research, reflection, and development to promote inclusive pathways for young refugees in vocational education and training in four research sites. We used futures labs as a method to identify key challenges and develop action plans as an activating method with stakeholders and refugee trainees. Our data consisted of audio recordings of group discussions in the real-world future labs, which were analyzed using deductive content analysis. Results: The analysis identified the following areas as important barriers to education and for practice transformation: (1) infrastructural and cultural barriers; (2) day-to-day problems in vocational schools and companies (3) restrictive immigration policies and regulations. Discussion: Educational barriers are imbedded in a contradictory immigration regime with reciprocal effects so that refugee trainees have difficulties in completing their education and further their social inclusion. On the other side of this contradictory immigration regime, social work and social networks provide fundamental support in obtaining a vocational qualification.}, subject = {Berufsausbildung}, language = {en} } @article{AckermannEggerScharlach, author = {Ackermann, Judith and Egger, Benjamin and Scharlach, Rebecca}, title = {Programming the postdigital : curation of appropriation processes in (collaborative) creative coding spaces}, series = {Postdigital Science and Education}, volume = {2}, journal = {Postdigital Science and Education}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, issn = {2524-4868}, doi = {10.1007/s42438-019-00088-1}, pages = {416 -- 441}, abstract = {Creative coding is a form of postdigital art that uses programming to solve esthetical problems, subordinating functionality to expression.

PaSyMo integrates three conceptual pillars that guided its design: stakeholder engagement, participatory agent-based modeling (ABM), and visualization on tangible interfaces. The system combines a simulation environment grounded in geodata and ABM with discursive elements from scenario workshops and role-playing games, bridging digital and non-digital formats. PaSyMo contributes to the growing field of GAM research (Games and Agent-based Modeling; Szczepanska et al., 2022) by providing a framework that explores the integration of gaming mechanics with urban simulation tools, highlighting their potential to support sustainable urban planning. The approach draws from participatory modeling (Sterling et al., 2019; Voinov \& Bousquet, 2010) while leveraging state-of-the-art geospatial simulation and interactive interfaces to facilitate communication and co-production of knowledge among diverse stakeholders. Exploratory findings suggest that combining gaming experience with geospatial data visualization and ABM offers a promising approach to communicate the potential implications and trade-offs of urban planning initiatives. This integration enhances stakeholder engagement, promotes shared understanding, and supports consensus building. By making urban planning processes more interactive, PaSyMo can extend the impact of planning research beyond academic settings. Preliminary insights indicate that PaSyMo can enhance stakeholder understanding, knowledge integration, consensus-building, and proactive planning, especially in contexts of decision-making in complex and uncertain situations; however, these findings need to be substantiated in future studies.}, subject = {Modellierung}, language = {en} } @article{BergoldThomas, author = {Bergold, Jarg and Thomas, Stefan}, title = {Participatory research methods}, series = {Historical Social Research}, volume = {37}, journal = {Historical Social Research}, number = {4}, publisher = {GESIS}, address = {Mannheim}, issn = {0172-6404}, doi = {10.12759/hsr.37.2012.4.191-222}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-383834}, pages = {191 -- 222}, abstract = {This article serves as an introduction to the FQS special issue 'Participatory Qualitative Research'.

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.

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.

We tested whether this model can predict the amplitude of brain waves traditionally associated with semantic processing. To this end, we visually presented sentences describing basic subject-verb-object social interactions and measured event-related potentials for final words of sentences from three different conditions of affective deflection (low, medium, high) as computed by a variant of the ACT model (Schr{\"o}der, 2011). Sentence stimuli were closely controlled across conditions for alternate semantic dimensions such as contextual constraints, cloze probabilities, co-occurrences of subject-object and verb-object relations. Personality characteristics (schizotypy, Big Five) were assessed to account for individual differences, assumed to influence emotion-language interactions in information processing. Affective deflection provoked increased negativity of ERP waves during the P2/N2 and N400 components. Our data suggest that affective incoherence is perceived as conflicting information interfering with early semantic processing and that increased respective processing demands - in particular in the case of medium violations of social norms - linger on until the N400 time window classically associated with the integration of concepts into embedding context.

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.

Triangulation and systematisation of the existing knowledge corpus, key themes, theoretical frameworks, and studies surrounding IDN and counternarrative were conducted, collecting primary definitions and identifying for each domain relevant clusters. Five original scientific works by as many scholars that constitute this special issue are explored and mapped against this backdrop and associated with IDN and counter-narrative clusters. This process highlights their alignment with the research discourse, leading to the identification of intersections between IDNs and counter-narratives from diverse perspectives. This exploration sheds light on how IDNs can serve as counter-hegemonic narratives, being spaces for alternative perspectives and identities that challenge dominant ideologies. Ultimately, the requisite preconditions for IDNs to function as counter-narratives are discussed.}, subject = {Erz{\"a}hlen}, language = {en} } @incollection{SchmidtWenzelRubel, author = {Schmidt-Wenzel, Alexandra and Rubel, Katrin}, title = {Inquiry-Based Learning in Social Work}, series = {Inquiry-Based Learning : Undergraduate Research}, booktitle = {Inquiry-Based Learning : Undergraduate Research}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-14223-0}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-14223-0_13}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:525-26335}, publisher = {Fachhochschule Potsdam}, pages = {139 -- 147}, abstract = {Research-led teaching is designed to give students the opportunity to engage with their learning process and develop the skills needed to build their professional identity through active participation in the scientific cognitive process.

However, it is an open question whether social features like eyes are required or if the lateral movement of any arbitrary stimulus can elicit similar effects. The current experiments investigate the effects of the movement of a nonsocial cue and a perceptually similar social cue on object processing in 4-month-olds using event-related potentials (ERPs). Infants were presented with one of two central cues, either a box with a checkerboard pattern or a box with eye-like features on the front, which turned to one side. The cue thereby either turned toward a novel object or turned away from it. Afterwards, the object was presented again and ERPs in response to these previously cued or uncued objects were compared. When the nonsocial box served as the cue, no difference in neural processing of previously cued and uncued objects was found. In contrast, when the box with eyes served as the cue, we found an enhanced positive slow wave (PSW) for uncued as compared to cued objects. While the turning of the box with eyes promoted the encoding of cued objects, uncued objects needed enhanced activity for processing when presented for a second time. Results suggest that not every dynamic cue can influence infants' object processing but that the presence of a basic social characteristic like isolated schematic eyes is sufficient to enhance social learning processes in early infancy. This hints on a specific sensitivity of the infant brain to social information which helps infants to focus on relevant information in the environment during social learning.}, subject = {S{\"a}ugling}, language = {en} } @article{LorenzNeumannSchroeder, author = {Lorenz, Jan and Neumann, Martin and Schr{\"o}der, Tobias}, title = {Individual attitude change and societal dynamics: Computational experiments with psychological theories}, series = {Psychological Review}, volume = {128}, journal = {Psychological Review}, number = {4}, publisher = {American Psychological Association}, address = {Washington}, issn = {1939-1471}, doi = {10.1037/rev0000291}, pages = {623 -- 642}, abstract = {We present an agent-based model for studying the societal implications of attitude change theories. Various psychological theories of persuasive communication at the individual level are implemented as simulation experiments. The model allows us to investigate the effects of contagion and assimilation, motivated cognition, polarity, source credibility, and idiosyncratic attitude formation. Simulations show that different theories produce different characteristic macrolevel patterns. Contagion and assimilation are central mechanisms for generating consensus, however, contagion generates a radicalized consensus. Motivated cognition causes societal polarization or the fragmentation of attitudes. Polarity and source credibility have comparatively little effect on the societal distribution of attitudes. We discuss how the simulations provide a bridge between microlevel psychological theories and the aggregated macrolevel studied by sociology. This approach enables new types of evidence for evaluating psychological theory to complement experimental approaches, thus answering calls to enhance the role of coherent and formalized theory in psychological science.}, subject = {Einstellungsforschung}, language = {en} } @article{LohseHildebrandtHildebrandt, author = {Lohse, Karoline and Hildebrandt, Andrea and Hildebrandt, Frauke}, title = {Hypotheses in adult-child interactions stimulate children's reasoning and verbalizations}, series = {Early Childhood Research Quarterly}, volume = {58}, journal = {Early Childhood Research Quarterly}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0885-2006}, doi = {10.1016/j.ecresq.2021.09.014}, pages = {254 -- 263}, abstract = {Adult-child interactions can support children's development and are established as predictors of program quality in early childhood settings. However, the linguistic components that constitute positive interactions have not yet been studied in detail. This study investigates the effects of hypotheses proposed by adults on children's responses in a dyadic picture-book viewing situation. In 2 experiments, adults' use of hypotheses (e.g., "Maybe this is a dwarf's door") was tested against the use of instructive statements ("This is a dwarf's door") and in combination with open questions ("What do you think, why is the door so small?"). In Experiment 1, hypotheses differed from instructions only by the modal marker "maybe". Children's responses to hypotheses were longer and contained more self-generated explanations as compared to responses to instructions. The use of hypotheses also seemed to encourage children to attach more importance to their own explanations. In Experiment 2, combining hypotheses with open-ended why questions elicited longer responses but no more self-generated explanations in children than open-ended questions alone. Results indicate that subtle differences in adults' utterances can directly influence children's reasoning and children's contributions to dialogues.}, subject = {Parent-child interaction therapy}, language = {en} } @article{SchellerThoern, author = {Scheller, David and Th{\"o}rn, H{\aa}kan}, title = {Governing 'Sustainable Urban Development' Through Self-Build Groups and Co-Housing}, series = {International Journal of Urban and Regional Research}, volume = {42}, journal = {International Journal of Urban and Regional Research}, number = {5}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {1468-2427}, doi = {10.1111/1468-2427.12652}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:525-26478}, pages = {914 -- 933}, abstract = {This article critically examines the governing of 'sustainable urban development' through self-build cohousing groups in Gothenburg and Hamburg. The two case cities have been selected because both are currently involved in major urban restructuring, and have launched programmes to support self-build groups and cohousing as part of their emphasis on promoting urban sustainable development through this process. Departing from a theoretical discussion on advanced liberal urban governance, focusing in particular on the contemporary discourse on sustainable urban development, we examine the interaction between political institutions, civil society and private actors in the construction of cohousing as a perceived novel and alternative form of housing that may contribute to fulfilling certain sustainability goals. Questions centre on the socio-political contextualization of cohousing; concepts of sustainability; strategies of, and relations between, different actors in promoting cohousing; gentrification and segregation; and inclusion and exclusion. In conclusion we argue that, while self-build groups can provide pockets of cohousing as an alternative to dominant forms of housing, the economic and political logics of advanced liberal urban development make even such a modest target difficult, particularly when it comes to making such housing affordable.}, subject = {Stadtforschung}, language = {en} } @book{SchachameierReichertBreitenfeldt, author = {Schachameier, Armin and Reichert, Ulrich and Breitenfeldt, Tom}, title = {Gestalt in Social Work}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-031-95528-0}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-95528-0}, publisher = {Fachhochschule Potsdam}, pages = {217}, abstract = {This book deals with key situations in social work and reflects on them from the perspective of the Gestalt approach, which has enormous potential for consulting practice. The Gestalt approach has so far played a minimal or no role in social science courses (social work, psychology) as well as in the practice of social work. This book makes the Gestalt approach accessible to a wider audience so that specialists can expand their methodological repertoire accordingly. The authors see professionalism as a continuous, lifelong process that consists of training, reflection and research in specific practical situations. With this volume, they open up a learning path for readers, conveying a didactic concept so that readers can acquire methodological skills for conducting consultations. Based on the authors' experiences dealing with the topics of depression, addiction, codependency, parenting advice, trauma/dissociation and psychosis, short video recordings, commented transcriptions and summary graphics have been created to explain the basic relationship dynamics and approaches to action. This learning material can be used by students and practitioners in the field of the social work, but it is also would interest anyone who is involved in consulting and coaching in other areas. The focus is on reenacting and reflecting on practical situations based on cases. In role plays, students or professionals put themselves in the shoes of clients and consultants. Through these case reflections, basic conversation dynamics on specific topics can be both experienced as well as understood. Approaches can be tried out in order to expand the methodological repertoire for practice. Gestalt in Social Work: Case Studies in Practice is primarily intended for students, lecturers, professors, teachers and practitioners of social work. Readers in the fields of psychology and psychotherapy (doctors, psychiatrists, psychotherapists), Gestalt therapists and trainers, and consultants in other related fields also would find the book of interest.}, subject = {Gestalttherapie}, language = {en} }
