Leader histories and threat

Bohmian Histories and Decoherent Histories

The predictions of the Bohmian and the decoherent (or consistent) histories formulations of the quantum mechanics of a closed system are compared for histories — sequences of alternatives at a series of times. For certain kinds of histories, Bohmian mechanics and decoherent histories may both be formulated in the same mathematical framework within which they can be compared. In that framework, ...

Contentious Histories and the Perception of Threat: China, the United States, and the Korean War— An Experimental Analysis

Chinese and Korean protests over “revisionist” Japanese histories of World War II are well known. The impact of contested Chinese and US histories of the Korean War on US-China relations today has received less attention. More broadly, there has been little research seeking to systematically explore just how history textbook controversies matter for international relations. This article experim...

Histories and Consistency

⋆ When probability theory is applied to a sequence of events in time, the sample space consists of what we shall call histories. For example, if a coin is tossed twice in a row, the four histories HH, HT , TH, and TT , where HT stands for “heads on the first toss and tails on the second,” represent mutually exclusive possibilities, one and only one of which will occur in a single experimental r...

Leader self-definition and leader self-serving behavior

The present research investigated the relationship between leader self-definition processes and leader self-serving behaviors. We hypothesized that self-definition as a leader interacts with social reference information (descriptive and injunctive) in predicting leader self-serving actions. Six studies (i.e., two laboratory experiments, two scenario experiments, and two crosssectional surveys) ...
