Juliet: If they do see thee, they will murder thee. A satisficing algorithm for pragmatic conditionals
Mind & Society - Tập 5 - Trang 71-77 - 2006
In a recent Mind & Society article, Evans (2005) argues for the social and communicative function of conditional statements. In a related article, we argue for satisficing algorithms for mapping conditional statements onto social domains (Eur J Cogn Psychol 16:807–823,2004). The purpose of the present commentary is to integrate these two arguments by proposing a revised pragmatic cues algorithm fo......
Roles of implicit processes: instinct, intuition, and personality
Mind & Society - Tập 13 - Trang 109-134 - 2013
The goal of this research is to explore implicit and explicit processes in shaping an individual’s characteristic behavioral patterns, that is, personality. The questions addressed are how psychological processes may be separated into implicit and explicit types, and how such a separation figures into personality. In particular, it focuses on the role of instinct and intuition (two kinds of mostly......
The simplicity of complex agents: a Contextual Action Framework for Computational Agents
Mind & Society - Tập 15 - Trang 131-143 - 2015
Collective dilemmas have attracted widespread interest in several social sciences and the humanities including economics, sociology and philosophy. Since Hardin’s intuitive example of the Tragedy of the Commons, many real-world public goods dilemmas have been analysed with a wide ranging set of possible and actual solutions. The plethora of solutions to these dilemmas suggests that people make di......
Emotional consensus in group decision making
Mind & Society - Tập 5 - Trang 85-104 - 2006
This paper presents a theory and computational model of the role of emotions in group decision making. After reviewing the role of emotions in individual decision making, it describes social and psychological mechanisms by which emotional and other information is transmitted between individuals. The processes by which these mechanisms can contribute to group consensus are modeled computationally u......
The role of cognitive and socio-cognitive conflict in learning to reason
Mind & Society - Tập 7 - Trang 1-19 - 2007
The mental model theory claims that the ability to falsify is at the core of human rationality. We assume that cognitive conflicts (CCs) and socio-cognitive conflicts (SCCs) induce falsification, and thus improve syllogistic reasoning performance. Our first study assesses adults’ ability to reason in two different conditions in a single experimental session. In both conditions the participants are......
Multi-player electoral engineering and COVID-19 in the polish presidential elections in 2020
Mind & Society - Tập 21 - Trang 1-8 - 2022
The uniqueness of Poland’s experience with the 2020 coronavirus lays in the interplay of two factors: the decisive governmental response to the pandemic, and the overlap of the pandemic with the country’s presidential election scheduled on May 10, 2020. The government’s fast reaction, combined with the citizens’ discipline, resulted in the suppression of the virus’s spread. The ratings of the curr......
Equilibria analysis in social dilemma games with Skinnerian agents
Mind & Society - Tập 12 - Trang 219-233 - 2013
Different disciplines have analyzed binary choices to model collective behavior in human systems. Several situations in which social dilemma arise can be modeled as N-person prisoner’s dilemma games including homeland security, public goods, international political economy among others. The purpose of this study is to develop an analytical solution to the N-person prisoner’s dilemma game when boun......
Empirical modeling and information semantics
Mind & Society - Tập 7 - Trang 157-166 - 2007
This paper investigates the relationship between reality and model, information and truth. It will argue that meaningful data need not be true in order to constitute information. Information to which truth-value cannot be ascribed, partially true information or even false information can lead to an interesting outcome such as technological innovation or scientific breakthrough. In the research pro......
Explanations by mechanisms in the social sciences. Problems, advantages and alternatives
Mind & Society - Tập 4 - Trang 163-178 - 2005
This paper discusses various problems of explanations by mechanisms. Two positions are distinguished: the narrow position claims that only explanations by mechanisms are acceptable. It is argued that this position leads to an infinite regress because the discovery of a mechanism must entail the search for other mechanisms etc. Another paradoxical consequence of this postulate is that every success......
