During the periods of social isolation to contain the advance of COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021, educational institutions have had the challenge to adopt technological strategies not only to ensure continuity in students’ classes, but also to support their mental health in a period of uncertainty and health risks. Loneliness is an emotional distress caused by the lack of meaningful social connections; it has increasingly affected young adults worldwide during the pandemic's social isolation and still bears psychological effects in the current post-pandemic period. In the light of this challenge, the Nonenliness App was developed as a way to bring together university communities to address issues related to loneliness and mental health disorders through a gamified and social online environment. In this paper, we present the app and its main functionalities (Beta version) and discuss the preliminary results of a pilot clinical study conducted with university students in Germany (N = 12) to verify the app's efficacy and usability, alongside the challenges faced and the next steps to be taken regarding the platform's improvement.
Gamification is increasingly successful in the field of education and health. However, beyond call-centers and applications in human resources, its utilization within companies remains limited. In this paper, we examine the acceptance of gamification in a large company (with over 17,000 employees) across three generations, namely X, Y, and Z. Furthermore, we investigate which gamification elements are suited for business contexts, such as the dissemination of company principles and facts, or the organization of work tasks. To this end, we conducted focus group discussions, developed the prototype of a gamified company app, and performed a large-scale evaluation with 367 company employees. The results reveal statistically significant intergenerational disparities in the acceptance of gamification: younger employees, especially those belonging to Generation Z, enjoy gamification more than older employees and are most likely to engage with a gamified app in the workplace. The results further show a nuanced range of preferences regarding gamification elements: avatars are popular among all generations, badges are predominantly appreciated by Generations Z and Y, while leaderboards are solely liked by Generation Z. Drawing upon these insights, we provide recommendations for future gamification projects within business contexts. We hope that the results of our study regarding the preferences of the gamification elements and understanding generational differences in acceptance and usage of gamification will help to create more engaging and effective apps, especially within the corporate landscape.
Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit befasst sich mit den Gründen für den Erfolg von Scripted Reality Formaten. Dazu wurde das Fernsehverhalten von Zuschauern, die Wirkung des Fernsehens auf Rezipienten und deren Sehmotive aus psychologischer Sicht untersucht. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt wurde dabei auf die Zusammenhänge des Erfolgs von Scripted Reality mit der Entwicklung und Situation Jugendlicher und junger Menschen gelegt, die als Hauptzielgruppe von Scripted Reality von besonderem Interesse sind. Weiterhin wurde das Zusammenspiel verschiedener Medien als Grund für den Erfolg des Genres näher betrachtet, sowie Motive zur Teilnahme an einem Scripted Reality Format erarbeitet. Es werden außerdem mögliche Folgen eines Auftritts als Kandidat oder Darsteller als Schat-tenseite des Erfolgs erörtert. Die Bachelorarbeit ist aufschlussreich für Interessierte der Bereiche Medienpsychologie, Medienpädagogik und Wahrnehmungsforschung.
Critical theory and philosophy across many fields in the humanities has become awash with what has been characterised as ‘the material turn’. This material turn, which seems to involve varying combinations of what is known as Object Orientated Ontology (Harman), Actor-Network Theory (Latour), process philosophy (Whitehead), speculative realism (Bryant), or agential realism (Barad), emphasises some move toward a posthuman understanding of what the world is, and our relation to it.
In the past decades, developments in the fields of medicine, new media, and biotechnologies challenged many representations and practices, questioning the understanding of our corporeal limits. Using concrete examples from literary fiction, media studies, philosophy, performance arts, and social sciences, this collection underlines how bodily models and transformations, thought until recently to be only fictional products, have become a part of our reality. The essays provide a spectrum of perspectives on how the body emerges as a transitional environment between fictional and factual elements, a process understood as faction.
Our media-artistic performances and installations, INTERCORPOREAL SPLITS (2010–2013), BUZZ (2014–2015), W ASTELAND (2015–2016), as well as our new collaboration with Bruno Latour , DE\GLOBALIZE (2018–2020), are not just about polyphony. Here, however, we rediscover them under this heading, thus giving them a new twist, while mapping out issues, mechanisms and functional modes of the polyphonic.
ABSCHIED VOM AUSSEN

In the last years, social robots have become a trending topic. Indeed, robots which communicate with us and mimic human behavior patterns are fascinating. However, while there is a massive body of research on their design and acceptance in different fields of application, their market potential has been rarely investigated. As their future integration in society may have a vast disruptive potential, this work aims at shedding light on the market potential, focusing on the assistive health domain. A study with 197 persons from Italy (age: M = 67.87; SD = 8.87) and Germany (age: M = 62.15; SD = 6.14) investigates cultural acceptance, desired functionalities, and purchase preferences. The participants filled in a questionnaire after watching a video illustrating some examples of social robots. Surprisingly, the individual perception of health status, social status as well as nationality did hardly influence the attitude towards social robots, although the German group was somewhat more reluctant to the idea of using them. Instead, there were significant correlations with most dimensions of the Almere model (like perceived enjoyment, sociability, usefulness and trustworthiness). Also, technology acceptance resulted strongly correlated with the individual readiness to invest money. However, as most persons consider social robots as “Assistive Technological Devices” (ATDs), they expected that their provision should mirror the usual practices followed in the two Countries for such devices. Thus, to facilitate social robots’ future visibility and adoption by both individuals and health care organisations, policy makers would need to start integrating them into official ATDs databases.
Robots and automata are key elements of every vision and forecast of life in the near and distant future. However, robots and automata also have a long history, which reaches back into antiquity. Today most historians think that one of the key roles of robots and automata was to amaze or even terrify the audience: They were designed to express something mythical, magical, and not explainable. Moreover, the visions of robots and their envisioned fields of application reflect the different societies. Therefore, this short history of robotics and (especially) anthropomorphic automata aims to give an overview of several historical periods and their perspective on the topic. In a second step, this work aims to encourage readers to reflect on the recent discussion about fields of application as well as the role of robotics today and in the future.
Emotionen sind im heutigen Konsumgütermarketing weit verbreitet. Egal, ob es EDEKA mit seinem „Wir lieben Lebensmittel“-Slogan und emotionalen Werbeclips, die den Rezipienten rühren sollen, Coca-Cola mit der suggeriert puren Lebensfreude oder Mercedes-Benz mit einem einzigartigen Fahrgefühl ist – Emotionen lassen sich überall ausmachen.
Doch wie sieht es damit im B2B-Marketing aus?
Wo oftmals noch die Überzeugung herrscht, dass Fakten und Zahlen die wichtigsten Faktoren für Beschaffungen sind. Dieser Eindruck scheint sich zu bestätigen, wirft man einen Blick auf den durchschnittlichen Messestand von Industrieanbietern auf der EMO, BAUMA oder Hannover Messe. Dort wird - im Vergleich zu Konsumgütermessen - schnell bewusst, dass viele Unternehmen das Potenzial emotionaler Werbung noch nicht oder nicht konsequent ausschöpfen. Dies erweist sich insofern als problematisch, weil durch eine allgemein steigende Produkthomogenität die Austauschbarkeit einzelner Marken sowie Produkte und mit ihr logischerweise auch der Wettbewerbsdruck bzw. Preisdruck auf die Anbieter wächst, da viele Anbieter vermeintlich das gleiche Produkte anbieten.
Daher wird im Rahmen dieser Arbeit aufgezeigt, wie Marken und Produkte auch im B2B-Bereich emotional inszeniert werden können, um - im Sinne einer Differenzierung vom Wettbewerb - einen positiven Einfluss auf Kaufentscheidungen potenzieller Nachfrager nehmen zu können. Dazu wird herausgearbeitet, mit welchen konkreten Marketinginstrumenten und Emotionen unter Beachtung der Besonderheiten des B2B-Marketings sowie der Markenführung im Industriegütermarketing gearbeitet werden kann.
