Interaction Research

In psychology, we tend to follow the general logic of falsificationism: we separate the ‘context of discovery’ (how we come up with theories) from the ‘context of justification’ (how we test them). However, when studying human interaction, separating these contexts can lead to theories with low ecological validity that do not generalize well to life outside the lab. We propose borrowing research procedures from well-established inductive methodologies in interaction research during the process of discovering new regularities and analyzing natural data without being led by theory. We introduce research procedures including the use of naturalistic study settings, analytic transcription, collections of cases, and data analysis sessions, and illustrate these with examples from a successful cross-disciplinary study. We argue that if these procedures are used systematically and transparently throughout a research cycle, they will lead to more robust and ecologically valid theories about interaction within psychology and, with some adaptation, can enhance the reproducibility of research across many other areas of psychological science.

This paper gives an overview of the humanoid robot ‘H7’, which was developed over several years as an experimental platform for walking, autonomous behaviour and human interaction research at the University of Tokyo. H7 was designed to be a human-sized robot capable of operating autonomously in indoor environments designed for humans. The hardware is relatively simple to operate and conduct research on, particularly with respect to the hierarchical design of its control architecture. We describe the overall design goals and methodology, along with a summary of its online walking capabilities, autonomous vision-based behaviours and automatic motion planning. We show experimental results obtained by implementations running within a simulation environment as well as on the actual robot hardware.

This research aims to develop a “human interaction board” teaching media for thematic teaching in the fifth grade of State Elementary School 3 Madusari, Prambanan, Sleman. This is a research and development study which uses Borg and Gall’s development procedures. A development which uses these procedures involves 9 stages, namely research and data collection, planning, initial product development, initial field try out, product revision, operational field try out, and final product revision. The population of this research are all fifth grade students of State Elementary School 3 Madusari, Prambanan, Sleman, there were 22 students. The research samples include all the population. The data collection was conducted by means of questionnaires, observations, and interviews with the class teacher and five students to determine the situation during the teaching process. The data analysis used a descriptive quantitative technique. The research results show that the human interaction board teaching media developed based on Borg and Gall’s development procedures was feasible to be used. This is based on the score percentage achieved from the validator and the students. Material validation results percentage from the lecturer showed a score of 80% with a criterion of feasible to be used. Material validation result percentage from the class teacher showed a score of 83.33% with a criterion of feasible to be used. Media validation results percentage from the lecturer showed a score of 77.33% with a criterion of feasible to be used. Media validation result percentage from the class teacher showed a score of 82.66% with a criterion of feasible to be used. Students scoring percentage achieved during a limited test showed 93% with a criterion of feasible to be used. During a field try out showed 94% with a criterion of feasible to be used. Operational field try out showed 94% with a criterion of feasible to be used.

Language is a human interaction tool to facilitate humans to communicate with one another, language also has benefits that are very important for life as an introduction in the world of education. But what happens, the fact is that at the moment in carrying out group guidance conducted by some people, they have not been able to use good and correct grammar, but have already behaved politely when communicating with other interlocutors and some people still assume that when communicating only requires language simple or improvised. This study aims to teach that people need to apply true and wise communication, especially in the use of good and correct language systems when conducting group guidance. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods that refer to data collection, data analysis, interpretation of the data concerned with the situation. The results of this study indicate that in conducting group counseling they have not been able to apply good and correct language but have applied good manners. This research has various benefits, namely making people able to understand and realize that the importance of communication when guidance uses good and correct language so that it is easy to understand and easily accepted.

Scientific Reasoning Skills

We conducted two studies to replicate and extend, as well as test, the limits of previous findings regarding an apparent disconnect between scientific-reasoning skills in psychological science, on the one hand, and scores on standardized tests of general intelligence, on the other. In Study 1, we examined whether this disconnect would extend beyond psychological science to additional sciences as well, such as nutrition and agriculture. The results did indeed extend, suggesting that scientific reasoning across various natural sciences is comparable to scientific reasoning in psychological science, but different in kind from the reasoning required on conventional standardized tests. In Study 2, we examined whether these findings were linked to the format of presentation of scientific problems. Whereas real scientific-reasoning problems are open-ended, standardized tests tend to use multiple-choice format. We discovered that using multiple-choice format did indeed result in an apparently closer relation of the scientific-reasoning tests to two of the conventional ability measures (SAT Reading and Number Series) but not to two other tests (Letter Sets and SAT Math). Thus, one can increase the correlations of scientific-reasoning tests with at least some standardized ability tests but at the cost of content validity and ecological validity.

The article covers theoretical and methodological foundations of psychological science development in the XXI century. It has been emphasized that the psychological science of Ukraine provides the implementation of fundamental and applied research to promote the country’s rapid coming out of socio-economic crisis. Approaches to find the solution and ensure psychological assistance to ATO fighters are considered in the procedural aspect. The central area of research activity is psychological protection of population from hostile propaganda. An important direction of modern psychologists’ work is the psychological support of educational processes at all stages. Thus particular attention is focused on the problems of a personality development. It has been emphasized that the progress of modern psychology is associated with significant methodological reorientation. It is suggested to use a genetic modelling method, the main principles of which allow to solve the problems within the holistic approach, in the process of their development and formation. The method studies the peculiarities of self-identity or self-evolving and the purpose is to shape a genetically derived discrepant personality that is constantly evolving and forming. According to the author’s original theoretical paradigm, at the basis of the personality’s psychological genesis lies the need for action as a genetically original measurement unit of individual development and existence. This energy-intensive information flow represented as a need specifically unites the biological and social determinants and acts as a lifelong driving force for the self-development of a human being - the personality. The principles of constructing a genetic modelling method have been described and characterized. The problem of human interaction with modern media carriers is singled out.
