According to balance theory (Heider, 1958), when two coworkers develop different levels of leader-member exchange (LMX) relationships with their supervisor, a triadic relational imbalance will arise among the three parties that may result in hostile sentiments and poor social interactions between them. This study examines the consequences and psychological processes of (dis)similar levels of LM...

The modeling of networks, specifically generative models, have been shown to provide a plethora of information about the underlying network structures, as well as many other benefits behind their construction. Recently there has been a considerable increase in interest for the better understanding and modeling of networks, but the vast majority of this work has been for unsigned networks. Howev...

background: introducing rctm (research-centered teaching method) by the author, showed the method provokes enthusiasm and anxiety, correlated with cognition . by linking the broaden-and-build theory and emotional intelligence theory, it becomes apparent that the knowledge and use of positive emotions constitute an important skill set for effective functioning. purpose: to investigate the effect...

We report an experiment on a decision task by SAMUELSON and BAZERMAN (1985). Subjects submit a bid for an item with an unknown value. A winner’s curse phenomenon arises when subjects bid too high and make losses. Learning direction theory can account for this. However, other influences on behaviour can also be identified. We introduce impulse balance theory to make quantitative predictions on t...

Stakeholder theory is widely recognized as a management theory, yet very little research has considered its implications for individual managerial decisionmaking. In the two studies reported here, we used stakeholder theory to examine managerial decisions about balancing stakeholder interests. Results of Study 1 suggest that indivisible resources and unequal levels of stakeholder saliency const...

Heider’s balance theory has been a cornerstone of structural explanations and explorations of network dynamics. Most frequently, Heider’s theory is interpreted as inducing reciprocated and transitive ties among nodes in a graph. Empirical work consistently shows that these structural features (reciprocity and transitivity) occur in naturally emergent networks more often than we would expect und...

While it has been recognized for some time that isentropic coordinates provide a convenient framework for theories of the global circulation of the atmosphere, the role of boundary effects in the zonal momentum balance and in potential vorticity dynamics on isentropes that intersect the surface has remained unclear. Here, a balance equation is derived that describes the temporal and zonal mean ...
