This chapter discusses the new social configurations society is undergoing on the basis of media emergence. Media are embedded in the arousal of communication and information transmission becoming the form, the infrastructure and the institution for the social and culture. This chapter focuses on mobile communication, having as central goal to debate on the processes of mediatization and mediation of society, as well as on the processes of belonging and social cohesion. Data from mobile internet adoption and use will be discussed in the light of the above mentioned theoretical approaches. An empirical case study will also be approached and results will provide contributions for the understanding of this type of technology adoption processes and the increasing importance of mobility in cultural and social practices, promoting an exciting discussion on the centrality of media nowadays and the current transformation processes society is undergoing.

This paper develops an analysis of the factors likely to shape future public responses to the social and ethical dimensions of emerging nanotechnologies. The research was designed to offer insight into the following: what sorts of issues are likely under current circumstances to shape public attitudes towards nanotechnologies; what narrative resources do people draw upon to develop their thinking; how do public attitudes evolve through social interaction and knowledge generation; and to what extent can expressed concerns be understood as emblematic of wider societal dilemmas.

Observer Ratings

Abstract Research in social interaction and nonverbal communication among individuals with severe developmental disabilities also includes the study of body movements. Advances in analytical technology give new possibilities for measuring body movements more accurately and reliably. One such advance is the Qualisys Motion Capture System (QMCS), which utilizes optical markers to capture body movements. The aim of this study was to explore the practicality of measuring body movements in the nonverbal communication of a child with severe developmental disabilities. A preliminary case study has been undertaken. The social interaction between a boy with developmental disabilities and his teacher was analyzed (1) using observer ratings on psychological aspects of the social interaction and (2) measuring body positions, velocity, and angles of body movements using the QMCS. Associations between observer ratings and measured body movements were examined. This preliminary case study has indicated that emotional response and attention level during the social interaction corresponded with local, synchronized movements and face-to-face orientation. Measurement of motor behavior is suggested as being a potentially useful methodological approach to studying social interaction and communication development.

Key Aspects

Based on the analysis of the public conscience as demonstrated in the context of private and social behaviour control patterns, the authors identify mechanisms and principles of normative regulation. For the purpose of the analysis, the authors compare the platforms of Russian and non-Russian researchers and make conclusions about the subject-object nature of moral oughtness. The authors use an integrative approach to morals as ontology-based normative regulation, rather than a will-constraining norm. A critical review of the works by Russian and Soviet philosophers reveals that, when considering the issue of the correlation between the moral and the social, Russian/ Soviet philosophy tends to emphasize and, not infrequently, intentionally exaggerate the determination of the moral oughtness by the social. The authors hold that one of the key aspects of moral determination is the source and the foundation of the moral claim, which, in turn, involves a number of interrelated issues: first, the correlation of the subjective and the objective in the moral plane; second, the correlation of the personal free will and choice of action and behaviour in the framework of moral function.

The Individual

Assessment and treatment of children and adolescents presenting with social interaction deficits must be guided by an understanding of the roles of social perception, planning, and output. This paper describes a case study of a client's functional ability in social interaction using the Social Interaction Model described by Doble and Magill-Evans (1992) as a framework. The use of the Child and Adolescent Social Perception Measure to assess how the individual client functions in the area of social perception is discussed.

Academic Profile

Researchers are increasingly using academic profile websites to organize and showcase their research outputs. Using the faculty at the science departments of the University of Saskatchewan, Canada as the study object, this research explores how science researchers used four academic profile websites: ResearchGate, Google Scholar Citations, Academia.edu, and ORCID. It was found that 78% of the researchers had established at least one academic profile, with ResearchGate being the most popular platform, Google Scholar Citations the second, followed at some distance by ORCID and Academia.edu. A high percentage of ORCID users did not list any of their publications, meaning their presence on ORCID was merely symbolic. We also found that the social interaction functions provided by ResearchGate were not well adopted. Findings from this study call for the improvement of the workflow of adding publications to ORCID profile.

This study was conducted to explore the counselor's experience using the sand play module in handling the social interaction of children of Sekolah Kebangsaan Moyan Laut Asajaya, Sarawak. The counselor uses a qualitative approach to conducting this study. The client for this study was year 4 female student that was chosen according to her the will and she also faces social problems. The data were obtained through observation, use of sand play, counseling session reports and client interviews recorded in three counseling sessions. This study uses a qualitative method of content analysis. The data obtained were processed and analyzed based on the developments that occurred during the counseling session process using the sand play therapy approach. Studies show that clients have succeeded in reducing fears to the counseling process, increasing the level of trust and simplifying the process of counseling sessions for example at the beginning of this counseling session the client feels fearful of his social problems with other children and is humiliated with counselors. However, after going through a counseling session using the sand play therapy approach, clients are more confident with themselves.

Learning Conditions

This case study examined a constructivist approach to creating an interactive learning environment on ANGEL for graduate students in a course: EDC 604—Authoring for Educators. The course curriculum was designed to help students construct knowledge to develop professional Websites. However, the class time was insufficient to meet the student learning needs and course objectives. The social interaction on ANGEL provided flexible time and space for participants to discuss the issues important to them. Findings revealed that practical action research combined with social interaction shed light on important issues of professional development through reflection on practice. The constructivist approach provided an interaction of two important sets of learning conditions: Internal and external levels for student cognitive development in authoring skills. Data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. This study also identified issues for further research: The importance of curriculum design to meet students’ needs, the effect of digital divide, and how student attitude impacts learning.
