270169 Interpersonal relationships, human-robot interaction, and well- being (BS) (WiSe 2013/2014)

The goal of this course is to critically review social psychological researches related to the self and others, interpersonal relationships, human-robot interaction, and well-being. We will start to consider the concept of the self, others and interpersonal relationships. Then, the focus will be shifted to relationships between humans and robots – a social and psychological phenomenon which becomes more prominent both in research and in everyday life where machines are deployed as partners and assistive technology. Thepsychological perspectives on the role of self,interpersonal, and human-machine relationships will be explored, with a particular focus on human well-being will be explored.
