Submission deadline | July 11, 2021 |
In a digital era, the technology impacts, influences, assists and improve our life at different levels. The fields of psychology are increasingly facing the main issues concerned with evolving of technology at the service of human life. Specifically, psychological research has proposed a broad spectrum of different methodologies aimed at improving the general living conditions of people in various socio-economical contexts, i.e. work, family, school, interpersonal relations, health. This grounded set of scientific knowledge, professional practice and methodologies of intervention can be purposefully applied to the design and development of technologies that support the human psychological needs and compatible with everyone’s characteristics.
PsychoBit2021 aims at presenting psychological theories and models that revolve around the improvement of the psychological and relational life of every individual. Specifically, the symposium focuses on technological solutions, mainly employing IT, software and hardware solutions to meet psychological needs.
Submission Guidelines
The Program Committee requests original papers on the topics of the workshop. Check the terms and conditions for publication. All submitted research contributions must be written in English (UK). Papers are accepted in the following format:
– Regular papers (at least 10 standard pages)
– Short papers (between 5-9 pages, including tables, figures, and references)
All papers must be formatted according to the CEURART style (see the template: https://www.psychobit.org/call-for-papers/). General information for authors can be found here.
All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least 2 experts in the field that are part of the program committee. Each author can submit a maximum of 2 papers.
List of Topics
Examples of topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Educational technologies (Serious games, technology enhanced learning, virtual reality applications)
- Assistive technologies and assistive robotics (rehabilitation technologies, ambient-assisted living, technologies for the care of the elderly)
- Technology to support request responses of persons with intellectual and multiple disabilities
- Computational psychometrics for cognitive assessment and training
- Human-computer interaction
- System adaptation and personalization based on cognitive and psychological characteristics
- Intelligent user interface (adaptive virtual agents, smart multi-modal interfaces)
- Cognitive and computational modelling
Selected contributions will concern the development of psychology-based technologies in their beginning phase (proof of concept), intermediate phase (prototypes without a user-experience research) and final phase (products adopted by end users). The symposium encourages the presentation of prototypes at an embryonic phase (TRL 1, TRL2) to enhance the project development.
