Exploring separable components of institutional confidence

Exploring separable components of institutional confidence.

Despite its contemporary and theoretical importance in numerous social scientific disciplines, institutional confidence research is limited by a lack of consensus regarding the distinctions and relationships among related constructs (e.g., trust, confidence, legitimacy, distrust, etc.). This study examined four confidence-related constructs that have been used in studies of trust/confidence in ...

Comparison of separable components in different samples

Imagine we have two di erent samples and are interested in doing semior nonparametric regression analysis in each of them, possibly on the same econometric model. In this article we consider the problem of testing whether a speci c covariate has di erent impacts on the regression curve in these two samples. So we compare regression curves of di erent samples but being interested in speci c di e...

Exploring metacognitive components of confidence and control in individuals with obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Obsessive-compulsive (OC) patients typically display reduced metacognitive confidence, but findings regarding the scope of this phenomenon and factors that mediate it have been inconsistent. This study aimed to further the understanding of reduced metacognitive confidence in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) by exploring the relationship between metacognitive process...

An Institutional Theory for #-Components

The # (hash) component model has been proposed for large scale parallel programming in high performance computing. This paper presents an institutional theory for #-components, which has given insight that originated the ideas of parallel programming with parameterized and recursive component types, with support to a general notion of skeletons.
