Spatial Distance, Availability of Means, and Moral Obligation Judgments
In the present research we analyze the interrelations of spatial distance and efficaciousness in helping needy others, and we investigate how these factors affect our judgments of moral helping obligations. The main question is under which conditions the location of an agent’s means of helping relative to a victim is regarded as morally relevant. We develop a new experimental design that allows...
متن کاملQuantification of Health by Scaling Similarity Judgments
OBJECTIVE A new methodology is introduced to scale health states on an interval scale based on similarity responses. It could be well suited for valuation of health states on specific regions of the health continuum that are problematic when applying conventional valuation techniques. These regions are the top-end, bottom-end, and states around 'dead'. METHODS Three samples of approximately 5...
متن کاملNo. 2002-82 ADAPTIVE MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALING: THE SPATIAL REPRESENTATION OF BRAND CONSIDERATION AND DISSIMILARITY JUDGMENTS
We propose Adaptive Multidimensional Scaling (AMDS) for simultaneously deriving a brand map and market segments using consumer data on cognitive decision sets and brand dissimilarities. In AMDS, the judgment task is adapted to the individual respondent: dissimilarity judgments are collected only for those brands within a consumers’ awareness set. Thus, respondent fatigue and subjects' unfamilia...
متن کاملImplicational Scaling of Reading Comprehension Construct: Is it Deterministic or Probabilistic?
In English as a Second Language Teaching and Testing situations, it is common to infer about learners’ reading ability based on his or her total score on a reading test. This assumes the unidimensional and reproducible nature of reading items. However, few researches have been conducted to probe the issue through psychometric analyses. In the present study, the IELTS exemplar module C (1994) wa...
متن کاملScaling Probabilistic Databases
Probabilistic databases, which have been widely studied over the past years, lie at the expressive intersection of databases and probabilistic graphical models, thus aiming to provide efficient support for the evaluation of probabilistic queries over uncertain, relational data. Several Machine Learning approaches, on the one hand, have recently investigated the issue of distributed probabilisti...
