(2017): Emotional intelligence predicts peer-rated social competence above and beyond personality traits. In: Current Issues in Personality Psychology 5 (2), S. 91-101. DOI: 10.5114/cipp.2017.64490
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5114/cipp.2017.64490 Abstract: Background: This study investigated the relationship between trait emotional intelligence (EI) and social competences (SC), which determine effective functioning in three types of social situations: intimate situations, situations of social exposure and situations requiring self-assertion. Social competences were assessed using a peer nomination method. It was hypothesized that trait EI predicts SC above and beyond personality traits. Participants and Procedure: Data were collected from among 111 adolescents (46.95% girls). The study was conducted among five classes from three public high schools. Participants first completed the Personality Inventory NEO-FFI and the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF). Subsequently, the descriptions of three different persons were presented to the participants. Each description concerned one of the SC: intimate competence, social exposure competence and assertive competence. Participants were asked to nominate three classmates who suited each description best. Results: A series of hierarchical regression analyses was performed. Personality traits and trait EI were regressed on each competence. Analyses involved two-step hierarchical regressions, entering personality traits at step 1 and adding trait EI at step 2. The results demonstrated that personality traits explained a substantial portion of the variance in each SC. Beyond these variables, trait EI was significant as a predictor of nominations for each SC, explaining an additional amount of the unique variance. Conclusions: The results complement existing evidence that trait EI contributes to successful social functioning. The relationships between trait EI and SC remained statistically significant even after controlling for Big Five variance. The results demonstrate incremental validity of trait EI over and above personality traits. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)

(2016) : 13-year-olds approach human-robot interaction like adults: 2016 Joint IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning and Epigenetic Robotics (ICDL-EpiRob): Cergy-Pontoise/Paris, France: IEEE, S. 138-143
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/DEVLRN.2016.7846805 Abstract: Robots are at the evolution stage that will bring them to interact with humans in daily activities. This will lead to a direct contact with all the members of a household. It is important therefore to understand whether a robot behavior designed for adults could fit also the needs of their younger relatives. In particular, in this work we investigate whether the acceptance and basic understanding of robot behaviors changes between the onset of adolescence and adulthood. With a series of video-based tests we address three different aspects of the interaction: a) the a priori expectations of the prospective users on the most appropriate features of an interactive robot; b) their subjective preferences about a humanoid robot verbal and non-verbal behavior in a demonstration task; and c) the quantitative effect of robot gaze and hand motion on the ability of its human partner to understand its goal. The results show a remarkable similarity between teenagers and adults in all the subjective and quantitative metrics considered, suggesting that a robot behavior designed for adults would be probably effective also in the interaction with 13-year-olds. Our findings also underline the high relevance of an appropriate design of robot gaze direction, as both age groups relied substantially on this implicit cue in their understanding of robot goals.

(2015): Development of a Dating Violence Assessment Tool for Late Adolescence Across Three Countries. The Violence in Adolescents' Dating Relationships Inventory (VADRI). In: Journal of Interpersonal Violence, S. 2626-2646. DOI: 10.1177/0886260515593543
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26160857 Abstract: Accurate assessment of dating violence (DV) is crucial for evaluation and intervention planning. However, extant self-report measurement tools of DV do not adequately consider age-, generation-, and culture-specific issues, which are essential for its accurate conceptualization. To address these gaps, we developed the Violence in Adolescents' Dating Relationships Inventory (VADR I: ) and evaluated its psychometric properties. The VADRI was developed based on a qualitative approach for item development through adolescents' individual interviews, focus groups, and experts' judgments, followed by a quantitative approach for tool assessment. Two aspects of DV were addressed: victimization and perpetration. After the necessary cultural and linguistic adaptation of items, the instrument was administered to 466 adolescents from three Spanish-speaking countries: Guatemala, Mexico, and Spain. The items were best represented by a one-factor solution in each country, which suggests that DV is a unidimensional construct combining victimization and perpetration. Analyses of item-level factor weights and differential item functioning were conducted aimed at obtaining information about items that best represented the construct, resulting in a 26-item final version that was cross-culturally equivalent. Convergent validity was supported by positive correlations with the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory, and reliability analyses yielded favorable results (with all Cronbach's α values above .90). We conclude that the VADRI is a valid and reliable instrument for the assessment of DV in various cultural contexts.

(2011) : Gender Issues In: Hauser, Stuart T.; Prinstein, Mitchell J. (Hg.): Encyclopedia of Adolescence: Burlington: Elsevier Science, S. 151-159
Abstract: Gender is an important social category that affects adolescents' lives in multiple ways. Gender identities and gender schemas shape the kinds of ideas and behaviors that adolescents may consider appropriate for themselves and others. Stereotyped beliefs may lead to sexism, including prejudiced attitudes and discriminatory behaviors. Gender-related variations during adolescence occur in academic achievement, athletic participation, sexuality, body image, dating relationships, friendship intimacy, and aggression.

(2008): Die Rechtfertigung abweichenden Verhaltens von Heranwachsenden im sozialen Kontext. In: Soziale Probleme 19 (2), S. 194-218. Online verfügbar unter https://www.ssoar.info/ssoar/bitstream/document/24470/1/ssoar-soziprobleme-2008-2-zdun-die_rechtfertigung_abweichenden_verhaltens_von_194-218.pdf
Abstract: 'Der Beitrag behandelt die von der Neutralisationsforschung weitgehend vernachlässigte Fragestellung, inwiefern Rechtfertigungen sich selbst und verschiedenen Umfeldern (Freunde und Eltern) gegenüber sowie bei bestimmten Vergehen variieren. Die quantitative Studie ist dabei auf das Rechtfertigungsverhalten von Heranwachsenden aus sozial benachteiligten Stadtgebieten zugeschnitten, die vielfach durch Vergehen der Straßenkriminalität auffallen. Es zeigen sich etliche Konsistenzen und Inkonsistenzen im Rechtfertigungsverhalten gegenüber den verschiedenen Umfeldern, die sowohl auf eine teilweise Anerkennung von Gewaltdelikten der Eltern in diesem Milieu hindeuten als auch auf eine Scham des Individuums bei anderen Delikten.'
