Does Being A Boy or Girl Matters for Personality Development? Study of Personality of Adolescents from Different Social Classes across Gender

IoT as Simple as Do Re Mi: A micro-configurational approach to the social context of Internet of Things skills and digital inequalities

“…While our findings are not conclusive with respect to socio-structural determinants, they do suggest a 'taste for necessity' that is often observed with educational and income inequalities (Bourdieu, 1984;Robinson, 2009;Ignatow & Robinson, 2017). Moreover, abstract concepts such as warmth are commonly associated with other competences in higher education (Fiske, Cuddy, & Glick, 2007;Kumari, Singh, Mehra, & Mishra, 2018;Goodwin, Piazza, & Rozin, 2014;Kouchaki, Gino, & Feldman, 2019). In other words, using the IoT creatively is also partly determined by inherent motivations and attitudes.…”

“…We use the notion of warmth to signify competence and add emotional value that fosters creative use (Cf. Fiske, Cuddy, & Glick, 2007;Kumari, Singh, Mehra, & Mishra, 2018). Warmth tells us whether IoT devices are considered something more than purely cold and functional in gratifying affective needs.…”

“…Warmth tells us whether IoT devices are considered something more than purely cold and functional in gratifying affective needs. Moreover, social warmth is commonly associated with creativity in embodied realism (Fiske et al, 2007;Kumari et al, 2018) and with playfulness (Goodwin, Piazza, & Rozin, 2014;Kouchaki, Gino, & Feldman, 2019). Therefore, we consider warmth a notion that indicates something more than 'just a machine' that is being operated.…”

“…We presume that warm, in contrast to cold, signifies competence and added emotional value that fosters creative use (Cf. Fiske, Cuddy, & Glick, 2007;Kumari, Singh, Mehra, & Mishra, 2018). In this Chapter, we measure these two criteria using an innovative diary study based on Lakoff & Johnson's (2017) notion that the structure and experiences of everyday basic activities correspond to metaphorical concepts, e.g., social proximity (close-distant) and warmth (cold-warm).…”

“…In our study on figuration diaries, we conceptualize these investments by using the metaphorical concept of social warmth. Social warmth is commonly associated with creativity in embodied realism (Fiske, Cuddy, & Glick, 2007;Kumari, Singh, Mehra, & Mishra, 2018) and with playfulness (Goodwin, Piazza, & Rozin, 2014; Kouchaki, Gino, & Feldman, 2019). We consider warmth a notion that indicates something more than 'just a machine' that is being operated, thereby placing a taste for necessity on a socio-sensical scale along with playfulness and creativity.…”
