Detienne, Francoise, Cahour, Beatrice, Legout, Marie-Christine and Relieu, Marc (2011): Participation framework(s) in Second Life meetings: communication media and roles. In: Proceedings of the 2011 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2011. pp. 183-188.

“Originality/Value -- Our analytical framework is based on the combination of two perspectives: a third view perspective based on analyses of observational data and a first view perspective based on users reports on their experience in SL. Take away message -- Designing collaborative virtual environment should be based on the understanding of the variety of use-cases with concomitant variance in SL communication media.”

Detienne, Francoise, Cahour, Beatrice and Lefebvre, Liv (2010): Why do users communicate via such or such media?: some insights from users' daily experiences. In: Proceedings of the Sixth Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 2010. pp. 627-630.

“The objective of this study is to understand why people choose to use such or such media of communication in their daily activity. In a field study, twelve young adults were requested to narrate daily communication experiences on a storyboard, some of them being interviewed afterward. Quantitative results show a significant relationship between the choice of media and the affective or socio-relational link with the recipient. Qualitative analyses highlight (1) more or less deliberate choices of media, (2) strategic choices of media for emotional interactions or for reinforcing social relationships, (3) management of communication focus, (4) management of information complexity and ambiguity, (5) management of interruptiveness and modeling interlocutors' availability and preference, (6) management of time-distributed communication with conversational progress and context switches. These results are put into perspective in the framework of mediated communication theories.”

Cahour, Beatrice, Forzy, Jean-François and Martin, Clémence (2010): Feelings and strategies of senior drivers: ways of coping with fear?. In: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2010. pp. 161-168.

“Motivation -- This study explores the way senior drivers (compared to younger ones) adapt to the growing difficulties they have in being attentive and reactive when driving. Research approach -- The approach is based on video analysis and post-activity verbalisations; we videotaped 12 subjects' natural drive in a big city, and conducted video-based interviews. Findings -- The analysis indicates that seniors are more frightened than younger drivers and less aggressive, and that they express more their emotions verbally right after the drive than mimically during the drive. We also distinguish two profiles of senior drivers: one is hypervigilant, hesitating and very anxious, and the other one is deliberately delegating the control and the attention to the other drivers, is quieter and has a smoother driving. Implications and message -- We conclude on the importance of the emotional comfort in the strategies of adaptation chosen by the drivers, and propose some advices for designing help systems for seniors.”

Prost, Magali, Cahour, Beatrice and Detienne, Francoise (2010): Analysing online social support between professionals. In: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2010. pp. 341-342.

“Online forum give people new opportunities to interact with each other. It is a new mean of coping with problems at work. This paper reports an investigation of interaction structures within two forums on the web (general and specialized), examining different ways to expose a problem and different manifestations of social support. Results reveal two structures: << centralized >> and << distributed >>. Authors of discussions may use different processes, using more or less expressions of their emotions. Helpers can show their support by sharing similar experiences, or providing opinion-advice and opinion-analysis on the situation or the solution, with or without emotional support. The analytical method was tested on seven conversations and it will be extended to further conversations. This research will contribute to propose recommendations to improve social support forums for professionals and to know if this type of support is satisfying for the participants.”

Cahour, Beatrice and Salembier, Pascal (1996): Cooperation and Cooperator Modeling. In Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 5 (2) pp. 285-297.

“In this text, we argue that user modeling and system modeling should be taken into account at the same time to allow cooperativity: they are two sides of a same interaction. We focus on interlocutor modeling (the human-human homonym of user modeling) and develop three situations where interlocutor modeling is crucial: when there is a need of transforming the beliefs of the cooperator (when there is a knowledge gap or a resistance), when the interpretation of the cooperator's communication act is ambiguous and relies on implicit meaning, and when there is a specific need of anticipating the other's understanding (in risky or irreversible situations).”
