@PixelBandits OH OH! Meant to share this with you -- our research team just published an update of the "state of (media) psychology" research on video games and nostalgia. Enjoy! https://doi.org/10.1016/j.copsyc.2022.101544

As robots are increasingly integrated into human social spheres, they will be put in situations in which they may be perceived as moral patients—the actual or possible targets of humans’ (im)moral actions by which they may realize some benefit or suffering. However, little is understood about this potential, in part due to a lack of operationalization for measuring humans’ perceptions of machine moral patiency. This paper explicates the notion of perceived moral patiency (PMP) of robots and reports the results of three studies that develop a scale for measuring robot PMP and explore its measurements with relevant social dynamics. We ultimately present an omnibus six-factor scale, with each factor capturing the extent to which people believe a robot deserves a specific kind of moral consideration as specified by moral foundations theory (care, fairness, loyalty, authority, purity, liberty). The omnibus PMP scale’s factor structure is robust across both in-principle and in-context evaluations, and measures contextualized (local) PMP as distinct from heuristic (global) PMP.
Out now? Page proofs for Tim Wulf and I’s most recent collaboration: a summary of recent research on video game nostalgia for Current Opinion in Psychology. Give a read, and we’re happy to share additional notes if you’d like: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352250X22002652
This one gives a nice "state of the state" for folks researching #medianostalgia #videogames #retrogaming and others. =)
