Explaining Energy Conservation and Environmental Citizenship Behaviors Using the Value-Belief-Norm Framework

Despite decades of research, uncertainty remains about what motivates individuals to engage in pro-environmental behavior. The multifaceted and complex nature of energy conservation, like other forms of pro-environmental behavior, still poses a challenge to efforts at accurately explaining or predicting it. This paper examines the extent to which variables in the value-belief-norm framework are...

شبکه خود سازمانده پرکاربردترین شبکه عصبی برای انجام خوشه بندی و کوانتیزه نمودن برداری است. از زمان معرفی این شبکه تاکنون، از این روش در مسائل مختلف در حوزه های گوناگون استفاده و توسعه ها و بهبودهای متعددی برای آن ارائه شده است. شبکه خودسازمانده از تعدادی سلول برای تخمین تابع توزیع الگوهای ورودی در فضای چندبعدی استفاده می کند. احتمال وجود سلول مرده مشکلی اساسی در الگوریتم شبکه خودسازمانده به حسا...

Decision field theory extensions for behavior modeling in dynamic environment using Bayesian belief network

Decision field theory (DFT), widely known in the field of mathematical psychology, provides a mathematical model for the evolution of the preferences among options of a human decision-maker. The evolution is based on the subjective evaluation for the options and his/her attention on an attribute (interest). In this paper, we extend DFT to cope with the dynamically changing environment. The prop...

Value Judgments Using Belief Functions*

The main purpose of this article is to show how the belief-function framework can be used to model human behavior when making decisions that involve value judgments. A rule of decision making has been presented in the form of a proposition. This proposition is simple and intuitive. It predicts correctly the observed behavior, even the behavior that is considered to be irrational under the expec...
