Simulation of Pessimism Influence on Choice of Farming Strategy under Uncertainty

Individual Differences in Dispositional Pessimism, Stress, and Coping as a Function of Task Type

Individual differences in dispositional pessimism and choice of coping strategy on performance and stress, in target detection were investigated. The results were consistent with prior research indicating that higher levels of pessimism were associated with higher levels of stress and less effective coping strategies. Similarly, pessimism predicted emotion focused coping only in tasks with spat...

The Effect Of Salvage Market On Strategic Technology Choice And Capacity Investment Decision Of Firm Under Demand Uncertainty

Application of Sequential Gaussian Conditional Simulation to Underground Mine Design Under Grade Uncertainty

In mining projects, all uncertainties associated with a project must be considered to determine the feasibility study. Grade uncertainty is one of the major components of technical uncertainty that affects the variability of the project. Geostatistical simulation, as a reliable approach, is the most widely used method to quantify risk analysis to overcome the drawbacks of the estimation methods...

Individual Differences in the Stress and Workload of Sustained Attention

The effects of individual differences in dispositional pessimism and optimism, and choice of coping strategy, on performance, stress, and workload in vigilance tasks were investigated. Prior research indicated that pessimistic observers performed more poorly and experienced hgher levels of stress than optimists. In addition, coping strategies employed by observers have been linked to the stress...
