“…Of the evaluations that do exist, the findings are inconsistent. For example, Rabois and Haaga (2007) evaluated a basketball program involving minority youth and police officers in the United States. Teams of five youth and five police officers competed in basketball games over the period of 6 weeks.…”

This article presents an evaluation of a community policing program designed to increase youths' positive attitudes toward the police. A total of 45 youth attended the program and were surveyed at 3 time points: before program commencement, after program completion, and after a 4-month follow-up time period. Four program outcomes were examined: global attitudes toward the police, perception of the police, distributive justice of the police, and perception of police discrimination. Overall, participation in the program was effective in reducing perceptions of police discrimination and increasing attitudes toward the police among all youth. Findings also support the program as a remedial intervention for youth with past negative encounters with the police. The evaluation is discussed in the context of promoting the successful implementation of future community policing programs targeted toward at-risk youth.

“…While participants familiarized with Cozmo by playing against it, which can be viewed as a competitive interaction, studies have shown that the cooperation-competition dynamic is complex and that competition can lead cooperation and pro-social behavior in certain instances(Cone & Rand, 2014;Rabois & Haaga, 2002;Sage & Kavussanu, 2007;West, 2002), especially when the interactions are framed in a cooperative sense(Bengtsson & Kock, 2000) and does not adversely influence the participant, which is the case in our study.…”

A win-win situation: Does familiarity with a social robot modulate feedback monitoring and learning?

Social species rely on the ability to modulate feedback-monitoring in social contexts to adjust one’s actions and obtain desired outcomes. When being awarded positive outcomes during a gambling task, feedback-monitoring is attenuated when strangers are rewarded, as less value is assigned to the awarded outcome. This difference in feedback-monitoring can be indexed by an event-related potential (ERP) component known as the Reward Positivity (RewP), whose amplitude is enhanced when receiving positive feedback. While the degree of familiarity influences the RewP, little is known about how the RewP and reinforcement learning are affected when gambling on behalf of familiar versus nonfamiliar agents, such as robots. This question becomes increasingly important given that robots may be used as teachers and/or social companions in the near future, with whom children and adults will interact with for short or long periods of time. In the present study, we examined whether feedback-monitoring when gambling on behalf of oneself compared with a robot is impacted by whether participants have familiarized themselves with the robot before the task. We expected enhanced RewP amplitude for self versus other for those who did not familiarize with the robot and that self–other differences in the RewP would be attenuated for those who familiarized with the robot. Instead, we observed that the RewP was larger when familiarization with the robot occurred, which corresponded to overall worse learning outcomes. We additionally observed an enhanced P3 effect for the high-familiarity condition, which suggests an increased motivation to reward. These findings suggest that familiarization with robots may cause a positive motivational effect, which positively affects RewP amplitudes, but interferes with learning.

“…Put differently, it might be the case that they perceive it as "the job" of the police officer to pose questions and listen to the suspect instead of a sincere attempt to establish a good quality relationship. This reasoning is supported by a study showing that police officers' attitudes toward minority youths were improved after cooperation in a competitive tournament, while the minority youths showed no improvement in attitude toward the police (Rabois & Haaga, 2002). This seems to suggest that suspects perceive mere cooperation (e.g., through active listening behaviour) as instrumental rather than kind in nature (cf.…”
