Analyse emotionaler Gesichtsausdrücke in Forschung und Praxis (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Lea Boecker
Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 14:15 - 15:45 | 01.04.2019 - 05.07.2019 | C 16.223 Seminarraum
Einzeltermin | Mo, 15.04.2019, 12:45 - Mo, 15.04.2019, 14:10 | C 16.129 Seminarraum
Inhalt: Im Rahmen des Seminars werden wir uns mit einer Software beschäftigen, die automatisch emotionale Gesichtsausdrücke analysiert. Die Software wird in der Forschung und Praxis eingesetzt, um zu untersuchen, wie Menschen auf bestimmte Reize reagieren. Die Videoanalyse von Gesichtsausdrücken ist auch deshalb interessant, da sie in der Zukunft immer mehr genutzt werden wird, um das Verhalten von Menschen zu analysieren. Gemeinsam erarbeiten wir eine Fragestellung an der Schnittstelle von Verhandlungs-und Emotionsforschung, welche wir anhand eines kleinen Experiments testen. Das Experiment wird von den Studierenden durchgeführt und die Ergebnisse sollen mittels eines Vortrags und einer wissenschaftlichen Ausarbeitung präsentiert werden.
Group Research Project: Psychology of Entrepreneurship (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Michael Gielnik
Termin:
wöchentlich | Donnerstag | 16:15 - 17:45 | 01.04.2019 - 05.07.2019 | C 6.316 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Crowd-based organizing gains relevance in a digital economy. Using web-based technologies, crowd-based organizing is about mobilizing a large number of distributed actors (i.e. crowd) and structuring their activities to achieve a specific purpose. Platform-hosted crowds engage in a large variety of productive activities. Consider following examples: Prominent business-to-customer examples include crowd-based ride hailing (e.g. Uber, Lyft) and accommodation (e.g. Airbnb, HomeAway); as exemplary business-to-business cases, consider creative industries, specifically crowdsourced graphic design (e.g. 99designs, DesignCrowd) and crowd-produced stock photo (e.g., iStock, Shutterstock). Further¬more, crowds provide capital and labour: as for the former, so-called crowdfunding ranges from invest¬ment to donation (e.g. Kickstarter, Indiegogo, CircleUp); as for the latter, crowds providing unspecific services (e.g. MTurk, Clickworker) act as a digital workforce that, upon request, executes simple tasks, specified and paid for by individual or corporate customers. Surprisingly, we still know little how these platforms operate, let alone, comparative studies across several platforms. This research seminar seeks to fill this gap. To being able to participate in this joint research effort, students will first, familiarize themselves with relevant theoretical and methodological literature. Following a joint exploration of a platform in class and in an exercise, students will then explore and analyze a platform (and its ecosystem) on their own.
