Zachowanie człowieka jako przedmiot badań psychologii społecznej – fakt czy mit?

Dariusz Doliński

Człowiek i Społeczeństwo > 2020 > 49

Social psychologists only to very small degree investigate real human behavior. This article is an analysis of the reasons why this is so. The author points out that the otherwise valuable phenomenon of cognitive shift, which occurred precisely in the 1960s, naturally boosted the interest of social psychologists in such phenomena like stereotypes and values; at the same time, it unfortunately decreased...

Proksemika. Studium z antropologii kulturowej

Marek Hendrykowski

Przestrzenie Teorii > 2015 > 23

Marek Hendrykowski’s study deals with the semiotics of interpersonal proxemic relationships in today’s world. When analyzing this issue, the author puts forward three research hypotheses. First, interpersonal relationships that are connected with social space are not on the margins of systems of culture, but constitute a very important characteristic of each such system. Secondly, the traditional...

Human Factors in Evacuation Simulation, Planning, and Guidance

Gesine Hofinger, Robert Zinke, Laura Künzer, G. Hofinger, more

Transportation Research Procedia > 2014 > 2 > Complete > 603-611

Evacuation research shows growing interest in human factors and psychology. Before, humans were mostly modelled as homogeneous, without individual emotion, motivation or physical needs. Human factors had mainly been taken into account as physical characteristics or space requirements. In this paper, we give examples of relevant human factors from the literature and our own field research. Human factors...

Mobile passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) portal for automated and rapid control of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) on construction sites

Agnes Kelm, Lars Laußat, Anica Meins-Becker, Daniel Platz, more

Automation in Construction > 2013 > 36 > Complete > 38-52

Although personnel entering a construction site are mandated to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), hardly ever is PPE checked for accurateness, completeness, or whether its shelf-life has expired. Various commercially-existing automated identification (ID) and information technologies (IT) were used to design a mobile Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) portal for checking the PPE compliance...

Ovidiu Aritoni, Viorel Negru

15th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing > 1 - 6

2011 15th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing

In this paper, we propose a software prototype to simulate the human behavior in a domestic space. Our simulation takes into consideration the household structure and data about its residents lifestyle. The proposed system uses a multi-thread architecture, for each household's resident we deploy a single thread. The household resources management is based on the constraints propagation. We develop...

Use, reuse, and waste management of single‐use products associated with the COVID‐19 pandemic in the United States

Monica I. Rodriguez Morris, Wissam Kontar, Andrea L. Hicks

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management > 20 > 5 > 1736 - 1746

Single‐use product usage is not a new concern. However, during the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the use and disposal of single‐use products, especially those related to managing the pandemic, rose to prominence. Reports of shortages—and at the same time litter formation arising from improper disposal of various pandemic‐related materials such as gloves, masks, wipes, and food takeout containers—were...

Development and validation of the Multidimensional Mindset Scale: Growth and fixed mindsets

Nancy Ortiz Alvarado, Claudia Quintanilla Domínguez, Edgardo Ayala Gaytan, Ernesto Del Castillo de la Fuente

International Journal of Consumer Studies > 48 > 3 > n/a - n/a

Evidence suggests that fixed and growth mindsets shape human behavior (Rucker & Galinsky, Journal of Consumer Psychology, 2016;26(1):161–164); however, empirical research on mindsets is highly sensitive in terms of how they are measured. This article addresses specific limitations in measuring growth and fixed mindsets using existing scales, especially Dweck's (Self‐theories: Their role in motivation, personality, and development...

Direct reciprocity among humans

Charlotte S. L. Rossetti, Christian Hilbe

Ethology > 130 > 4 > n/a - n/a

Direct reciprocity is the tendency to repay others' cooperation. This tendency can be crucial to maintain cooperation in evolving populations. Once direct reciprocity evolves, individuals have a long‐run interest to cooperate, even if it is costly in the short run. The major theoretical framework to describe reciprocal behavior is the repeated prisoner's dilemma. Over the past decades, this game has...

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience > 35 > 28 > n/a - n/a

Recognizing patient activity in real‐time from video or images collected by a CCTV camera available in the hospital during a Covid‐19 situation has proven challenging. The dilemma of patient activity recognition is identifying and recognizing a patient's various actions in a series of videos. The process presented in our paper needs to achieve unrestricted, generic behavior in videos. Detecting events...

Systematic review of conservation interventions to promote voluntary behavior change

Laura Thomas‐Walters, Jamie McCallum, Ryan Montgomery, Claire Petros, more

Conservation Biology > 37 > 1 > n/a - n/a

Understanding human behavior is vital to developing interventions that effectively lead to proenvironmental behavior change, whether the focus is at the individual or societal level. However, interventions in many fields have historically lacked robust forms of evaluation, which makes it hard to be confident that these conservation interventions have successfully helped protect the environment. We...

Zeszyty Naukowe ZPSB Firma i Rynek > 2023 > 2(64) > 33-53

Management science came into being to meet the needs of modern, socialized mass production. Its purpose is to study how to improve the level of productivity through rational organization and allocation of human, financial, and material factors under the existing conditions. Management is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary subject. Economics is an independent subject in modern times, and it is a science...

From evolutionary ecosystem simulations to computational models of human behavior

Peter J. Bentley, Soo Ling Lim

Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Cognitive Science > 13 > 6 > n/a - n/a

We have a wide breadth of computational tools available today that enable a more ethical approach to the study of human cognition and behavior. We argue that the use of computer models to study evolving ecosystems provides a rich source of inspiration, as they enable the study of complex systems that change over time. Often employing a combination of genetic algorithms and agent‐based models, these...

Effects of patient room layout on viral accruement on healthcare professionals' hands

Amanda M. Wilson, Marco‐Felipe King, Martín López‐García, Ian J. Clifton, more

Indoor Air > 31 > 5 > 1657 - 1672

Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are exposed to highly infectious viruses, such as norovirus, through multiple exposure routes. Understanding exposure mechanisms will inform exposure mitigation interventions. The study objective was to evaluate the influences of hospital patient room layout on differences in HCPs' predicted hand contamination from deposited norovirus particles. Computational fluid...

Pursuing behavioral realism in Virtual Reality for fire evacuation research

Silvia Arias, Jonathan Wahlqvist, Daniel Nilsson, Enrico Ronchi, more

Fire and Materials > 45 > 4 > 462 - 472

The use of virtual reality in human behavior in fire research has the advantage of being able to produce results comparable to more traditional laboratory or field experiments. This method relies not only on the technology employed but also on the participants' perception of realism when exposed to a virtual emergency scenario. A virtual scenario can be perceived as realistic based on the way it looks...

The mourning process and “living with the dead”: Two case reports and a review of the literature

Caterina Bosco, Lucia Tattoli, Giancarlo Di Vella, Francesco Ventura, more

Journal of Forensic Sciences > 66 > 1 > 407 - 412

The discovery of mummified bodies in domestic settings is not unusual in the medico‐legal context. It is often a marker of social isolation, even in our urban modern society, and usually occurs among elderly people living alone or in precarious conditions. However, bereaved subjects can sometimes be found managing their grief by deliberately keeping the corpses of their loved ones at home. Investigation...

Wit and Humor in Chinese Characters - A Socio-Cultural and Historical Perspective

Li-Chi Chen, Anna Sroka-Grądziel, Fu-Lan Lee, Eryk Hajndrych

Socjolingwistyka > 2021 > 35 > 41-54

Building on Bergson’s ([1911] 2014) account of laughter, as well as two recognized functions of Chinese humor – 寓教於樂 ‘wrapping instructions in entertainment/amusement’ (Liao 2001) and 會心微笑 ‘a hearty laugh or a knowing smile’ (Chen 2017) – this study intends to analyze the wit and humor found in Chinese characters from a socio-cultural and historical perspective. The data used in this analysis come...

Explaining shopping behavior in a market economy country: A short‐term mathematical model applied to the case of Spain

Paloma Merello, Elena Poza, Lucas Jódar

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences > 43 > 14 > 8089 - 8104

In recent decades, pathological consumption has become a growing behavioral misbehavior. Impulsive consumption is governed by two internal behavioral mechanisms that respond fundamentally to the hedonism or Pascal effect and to the emulation or Veblen effect. Today's development of technology acts as a catalyst of consumption by increasing access and availability to products, as well as the advertisement...

Close contact behavior in indoor environment and transmission of respiratory infection

Nan Zhang, Wenzhao Chen, Pak‐To Chan, Hui‐Ling Yen, more

Indoor Air > 30 > 4 > 645 - 661

Close contact was first identified as the primary route of transmission for most respiratory infections in the early 20th century. In this review, we synthesize the existing understanding of the mechanisms of close contact transmission. We focus on two issues: the mechanism of transmission in close contact, namely the transmission of the expired particles between two people, and the physical parameters...

Grid coding, spatial representation, and navigation: Should we assume an isomorphism?

Arne D. Ekstrom, Sevan K. Harootonian, Derek J. Huffman

Hippocampus > 30 > 4 > 422 - 432

Grid cells provide a compelling example of a link between cellular activity and an abstract and difficult to define concept like space. Accordingly, a representational perspective on grid coding argues that neural grid coding underlies a fundamentally spatial metric. Recently, some theoretical proposals have suggested extending such a framework to nonspatial cognition as well, such as category learning...
