“I Need a Hug Right Now”: Affective Support Through Remote Touch Technology

This chapter presents and contrasts descriptions of two cases of online affective support provided to support students engaged in higher level learning tasks. The cases are set in different cultures, centre upon different intended learning outcomes, and follow different tutorial styles. One (Eastern) tutor acted as a “shepherd leader” in response to needs arising in the Confucian Heritage Culture as the teacher promoted critical thinking, according to the Western model. The other (Western) tutor provided Rogerian facilitation of reflective learning journals, kept by students seeking to develop personal and professional capabilities. In both styles, affective support features strongly. The cultural and pedagogical comparisons between the cases have proved useful to the writers. These distinctions together with the similarities between the two online styles emerge in the comparisons.

Speed And Accuracy

The objective of this study was to compare the relative effectiveness of three modes of subsystem control: a voice recognition system with visual feedback presented on the head-up display, a standard multifunction control device with tailored switching logic, and a remotely operated multifunction control with feedback presented on the head-up display. Comparisons were based on measures of interference with a loading task and overall speed and accuracy of the control operations performed. The working hypothesis was that the voice system and head-up multifunction control would manifest substantially lower interference with the primary task, while subsystem control operation times would remain unaffected by control mode. The results indicate that performance with the remote touch panel was significantly poorer than with the voice or standard multifunction control systems.

Productive Engagement

AbstractThis essay is a review of William Connolly’s Aspirational Fascim, and thus an extended analysis of the intersection of affect, race, class, and democracy. Connolly explores the role of negative affective contagion in mobilizing aggrieved white working class communities and argues for more inclusive pluralistic democracy and the use of positive affective democratic contagion to resist fascism. But he limits the radical potential of his argument because he focuses primarily on the white working class, thereby paying too little attention to the negative affective experiences of the trauma of racism. He should also interrogate not only fascist but also other types of negative affective support for Trump. I frame the essay as an invitation for productive engagement and conversation with Connolly.

Affective Support

This study examined the relation between parental status and marital adjustment of employed individuals. The sample consisted of 91 individuals—47 employed wives and 44 employed husbands. This study found that men with children reported higher levels of marital adjustment compared to men without children and women with and without children. Overall, women with children reported lower levels of marital adjustment compared to women without children and men with and without children. The study also investigated the potential moderating effects of social support on the relation between parental status and marital adjustment. As expected, women with children who reported lower social support were more vulnerable to lower marital adjustment than were other groups of women. Level of social support was not a moderator for men. It also was found that affective support had moderating effects, but no such effects were evident for instrumental support.
