Emotions can shape decision processes by altering valuation signals, risk perception, and strategic orientation. Although multiple theories posit a role for affective processes in mediating the influence of frames on decision making, empirical studies have yet to demonstrate that manipulated affect modulates framing phenomena. The present study asked whether induced affective states alter gambl...

The way choices are framed influences decision-making. These "framing effects" emerge through the integration of emotional responses into decision-making under uncertainty. It was previously reported that susceptibility to the framing effect was reduced in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) due to a reduced tendency to incorporate emotional information into the decision-making proc...

This paper proposes a method for key−frame selec−tion of captured motion data. Motion capture systems have been widely used in CG amusement and human motion analysis such as games and athlete training. For manipulation, retrieval and transmission, the compact motion is often required. Key−framing is often used to express CG animation with a compact set of frames. In general, the animation is de...

This paper describes the practices used by members of a high-tech manufacturer to bring considerations of environmental impact into the design of new manufacturing processes. Drawing from ethnographic, archival, and interview data on seven projects over an eight year time span, I demonstrate that contests over the meaning and legitimacy of the environmental issues were significant, but were ove...

The way in which financial markets are framed depends on who is doing the framing, although there are reflexive interdependencies between these framings. The underlying argument of the paper is that the way in which financial markets are framed in theory should reflect the different framings in the economy, and that this may benefit from input from other disciplines. Mainstream economics frames...

The translation of science from research to real-world change is a central goal of public health. Communication has an essential role to play in provoking a response to climate change. It must first raise awareness, make people feel involved and ultimately motivate them to take action. The goal of this research is to understand how the information related to this issue is being addressed and di...

Developing suitable frameworks and paradigms (theoretical and practical) is a challenge for all disciplines in the face of rapid technological changes. Technological advances are fundamentally changing discourse in many well-established areas of research; from advances in understanding the brain, questioning the informed wisdom of sectors of the brain, through to impacts of social networks on s...

In 1983, Burt and Adelson introduced the Laplacian pyramid (LP) as a multiresolution representation for images. We study the LP using the frame theory, and this reveals that the usual reconstruction is suboptimal. We show that the LP with orthogonal filters is a tight frame, and thus, the optimal linear reconstruction using the dual frame operator has a simple structure that is symmetric with t...

We introduce a model of decision making under uncertainty which incorporates framing effects for how contingencies are described. The primitive is a family of preferences, indexed by partitions of the state space. Each partition corresponds to a description of the state space. We axiomatically characterize the following partition-dependent expected utility representation. The decision maker has...

Studies of framing effects on health-related intentions and behaviour have been conducted in numerous areas, with contradictory results. These inconsistent results can be partially explained by the differential nature of the behaviours concerned, and by the degree to which people engage in detailed processing of the messages, but there is clearly more to learn about framing effects. This study ...
