Here is presented a model of message processing using one of the leading paradigms in social psychology of persuasion as main theoretical framework: the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM). Adapting this dual process theory to military context and actions and more specifically psychological operations allows developing a model taking into account many message characteristics as well as specific factors...
EarSketch lowers the barriers to entry and broadens engagement in computer science through expressive and culturally relevant music composition. In EarSketch, students write computer code to remix sound samples into original music compositions, often within hours of first exposure to the application. Coupled with sound samples rooted in modern music genres, EarSketch generates deep student engagement...
This research proposes a trust and reputation model to support collectivist digital business ecosystems for regions such as Africa, where collectivist culture norms and behaviours are common. As trusting behaviour is strongly influenced by cultural norms and beliefs, trust should not only be considered from a technical perspective, but also from a cultural perspective. A multi-level group trust and...
For a long time, culture has been an influencing parameter in negotiations. Growth of international trades and business competitions has increased the importance of negotiations among countries and different cultures. Developing new technologies, particularly the use of artificial intelligence in electronic trading areas, has provided us with the application of intelligent agents to resolve challenges...
An increasingly important AI frontier is the ability to represent worldviews, culture, values, and other nuanced structures, and to simulate the effects of these on perception, emotion/affect, judgment, and opinion formation. Such information, however, is notably difficult to model and represent, due to its fine-grained, diffuse nature. Reasoning is also highly challenging in these domains. This paper...
Computational models of the transmission of cultural information usually neglect that cultural transmission between individuals occurs mainly as a consequence of complex social interactions. We analyze the requirements for a computational model of a social psychological theory of cultural transmission, a theory which postulates that actors in a joint activity build on their common ground to align...
This paper focuses on the importance of positioning `culture' as one of the vital factors that influences the adoption of information and communication technology (ICT). The analysis of various models has made it to believe that cultural factors were not given importance to the development of adoption models. But it is understood that the national culture influences the actual behavior and it can...
A theoretical account aimed at modeling time usage founded on social network-based multiagent system is proposed. The model introduces mutual, dynamic relationships between the network and schedules: on the one hand, a network is generated by schedules, on the other, schedules are shaped by the network. Time allocation is driven by globally distributed semantic resources. Social network structure...
