To relieve the children's caregivers while ensuring that the children are adequately supported in their training exercises, new technologies may offer suitable solutions. This study investigates the potential of a robotic learning assistant which is planned to monitor the children's state of engagement and to intervene with appropriate motivational nudges when necessary. To analyze stakeholder requirements, interviews with parents as well as therapists of children with ASD were conducted. Besides a general positive attitude towards the usage of new technologies, we received some important insights for the design of the robot and its interaction with the children. One strongly accentuated aspect was the robot's adequate and context-specific communication behavior, which we plan to address via an AI-based engagement detection system. Further aspects comprise for instance customizability, adaptability, and variability of the robot's behavior, which should further be not too distracting while still being highly predictable.}, language = {en} } @article{LandmannGaschlerRohmannetal.2022, author = {Landmann, Helen and Gaschler, Robert and Rohmann, Anette and Weissinger, Stephan and Mazziotta, Agostino}, title = {Context matters - Social context moderates the association between indirect intergroup contact and attitudes towards refugees}, series = {Social Psychology}, volume = {53}, journal = {Social Psychology}, number = {6}, issn = {1864-9335}, doi = {10.1027/1864-9335/a000505}, pages = {341 -- 356}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Based on an integration of socioecological systems and intergroup contact theory, we hypothesized that the context in which intergroup contact takes place moderates its association with attitudes toward refugees. To test this prediction, majority members in Germany reported in three studies (Ntotal = 695) how often they have had positive and negative direct and indirect contact with refugees in different contexts and their attitudes toward refugees. While the association between direct contact and intergroup attitudes was relatively context-independent, the association between indirect contact and attitudes toward refugees strongly depended on context. Indirect contact was more strongly associated with attitudes toward refugees in contexts with close relationships (family and friends) than in contexts with distanced relationships (newspaper and TV).}, language = {en} } @article{DomschRuhmlandLissmann2022, author = {Domsch, Holger and Ruhmland, Martina and Lissmann, Ilka}, title = {Effective but Not Feasible—What Support Staff in All-Day Primary Schools Think of Pedagogical Interventions with Regard to Children with ADHD}, series = {Sustainability}, volume = {14}, journal = {Sustainability}, number = {3}, doi = {10.3390/su14031393}, pages = {1393}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are faced with multiple challenges both in the classroom and in the homework situation. While there are many studies on pedagogical interventions by teachers in the classroom, this is hardly the case when it comes to support staff in after-school homework supervision. In this study, 196 support staff with different qualifications were asked not only about their knowledge of ADHD, their subjective level of stress, and whether they felt trained enough to work with children with ADHD, but also to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of 25 interventions in homework supervision. Overall, the respondents rated effectiveness higher than feasibility. Higher qualifications, greater knowledge, and better preparation went hand in hand with higher ratings of effectiveness. The more stressed the support staff feel themselves to be, the less feasible they rate the measures. The results underline the necessity of employing well-trained pedagogical staff to supervise children with ADHD. A number of interventions can be identified that the support staff deem to be both effective and feasible, and that promise a high level of implementation in practice. At the same time, more attention should be given to potential obstacles to using recommended measures in training and further education.}, language = {en} } @article{GreischelZimmermannMazziottaetal.2021, author = {Greischel, Henriette and Zimmermann, Julia and Mazziotta, Agostino and Rohmann, Anette}, title = {Validation of a German Version of the Cultural Intelligence Scale}, series = {International Journal of Intercultural Relations}, volume = {80}, journal = {International Journal of Intercultural Relations}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijintrel.2020.10.002}, pages = {307 -- 320}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{RehbeinKingStaudtetal.2021, author = {Rehbein, F. and King, D. and Staudt, A. and Hayer, T. and Rumpf, H. -J.}, title = {Contribution of Game Genre and Structural Game Characteristics to the Risk of Problem Gaming and Gaming Disorder: a Systematic Review Artikel}, series = {Current Addiction Reports}, journal = {Current Addiction Reports}, issn = {2196-2952}, doi = {10.1007/s40429-021-00367-7}, pages = {1 -- 19}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{KurtenbachSchumilasKareemetal.2021, author = {Kurtenbach, Sebastian and Schumilas, Linda and Kareem, Abdul and Waleciak, Julian and Zaman, Muhammad}, title = {A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Deradicalisation: Results from Germany and Pakistan}, series = {Journal for Deradicalization}, volume = {Winter 2021/22}, journal = {Journal for Deradicalization}, number = {No. 29}, issn = {2363-9849}, pages = {206 -- 253}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{LauraJohannaChristineLeneMarieetal.2021, author = {Laura, Inhestern and Johanna Christine, Bultmann and Lene Marie, Johannsen and Volker, Beierlein and Birgit, M{\"o}ller and Georg, Romer and Uwe, Koch and Corinna, Bergelt}, title = {Estimates of Prevalence Rates of Cancer Patients With Children and Well-Being in Affected Children: A Systematic Review on Population-Based Findings}, series = {Front Psychiatry}, volume = {2021}, journal = {Front Psychiatry}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyt.2021.765314}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This review assessed population-based estimate rates of cancer patients with minor and young adult children (≤ 25 years), children and young adults having a parent with cancer as well as the psychosocial situation and well-being of children and young adults affected by parental cancer. Eighteen publications on population-based studies were included. Studies varied in the age ranges of both cancer patients and children. The prevalence rates of cancer patients having children ranged from 14 to 24.7\% depending on the sample structure (e.g., age, gender). Studies reported that between 1.6 and 8.4\% of children resp. young adult children have a parent with a history of cancer. Seven publications reported on the psychosocial situation or well-being in children and young adults affected by parental cancer. Estimate rates of psychosocial problems, psychiatric diagnoses or distress ranged between 2.5 and 34\% of children depending on the method of measurement and outcome. The differences in the sample structure between the studies impeded the comparison of prevalence rates. However, the findings help to determine the need for specific support services and health care planning. The results emphazise the importance to routinely include issues on the parental role of patients and questions on the well-being and coping of children into psychooncological care.

This paper aims to identify individual and contextual factors associated with lethal and non-lethal heroin-related overdoses on the basis of case reports and semi-structured proxy interviews. Typical patterns within these cases are determined by means of cluster analysis. Methods: Within the CaRe (Case Reports of heroin-related overdoses) study, case reports (100 proxy reports of overdose events from 36 different facilities) were gathered and evaluated as part of a nationwide survey of experts conducted in Germany in 2019. Following initial descriptive analyses a two-step cluster analysis with the four binary variables of gender, age, time and place was conducted to identify patterns within the reported cases. Results: The case reports grouped into five clusters: 1) Younger male drug users, found in a public space during the daytime; 2) Female drug users; 3) Older male drug users, found in a public space during the daytime; 4) Drug users found at home at night; 5) Drug users found outside at night. Overdoses by female drug users and those which occurred at home and/or at night were significantly more likely to have a fatal outcome. Conclusion: Future prevention and intervention measures should aim to consider the context, i.e.}, language = {en} } @article{FeuchteNeufeldBilalietal.2020, author = {Feuchte, Friederike and Neufeld, Katelin H.
