John Q. Public, a computational model of political cognition that incorporates both cognitive and affective mechanisms and both on-line and memory-based processing, is employed to study strategic behaviors in a social dilemma situation. Specifically, two John Q. Publics were employed as players in a 2-person repeated prisoner’s dilemma game to simulate the experimental data from Rapoport et al....

The Department of the Navy is a recognized leader in the implementation of knowledge management. The DON's multifaceted change strategy is discussed in terms of twelve elements: creating a shared vision; building the business case; demonstrating leadership commitment; facilitating a common understanding; setting limits; sharing new ideas, words, and behaviors; identifying the strategic approach...

Intelligent behaviors of humans are based on owning knowledge and adaptive employment of knowledge, especially embodied in the adaptive settlement of unpredicted event. These imply greater adaptability of human to environmental variation as well as more intrinsic intelligence. Thus our researches address to induce human’s adaptive behavior and investigate the effect of human adaptability on pro...

Physical-layer and MAC-layer defense mechanisms against jamming attacks are often inherently reactive to experienced delay and loss of throughput after being attacked. In this paper, we study a proactive defense mechanism against jamming in multi-hop relay networks, in which one or more network sources introduce a deceptive network flow along a disjoint routing path. The deceptive mechanism lev...

Effective communication between patients and health care providers is a critical element to quality health care. Becoming aware of patients' attitudes, beliefs, biases, and behaviors that may influence patient care can help clinicians improve access to and quality of care. Health care providers should develop a strategic plan for improvement, then implement and evaluate the plan to include stru...

The ability to gather information can affect outcomes in auctions and other games of incomplete information. We investigate situations where agents have a choice about which information, or signals, to observe, and are informed about the signal choices of others. Our models cover common-value games where agents decide whether to coordinate on observed information, and games mixing privateand co...

It is well known that vertical integration can change an upstream producer’s incentive to supply the integrated ...rm’s downstream rivals. However, it has not been noticed that vertical integration also changes these rivals’ incentives to choose suppliers. This paper develops an equilibrium theory of vertical merger that incorporates strategic behaviors in the input market of both the integrate...

Although the constituents of information systems success and their relationships have been well documented in the business value of information technology literature, our understanding of how information behaviors and values affect the relationships among strategic information systems success dimensions is limited. In response, we conduct a quantitative study of 146 medium and large firms that ...

We experimentally implement a dynamic public‐good problem, where the public good in question is dynamically evolving information about agents' common state of world. Subjects' behavior consistent with free‐riding because strategic concerns. also find that subjects adopt more complex behaviors than predicted by welfare‐optimal equilibrium, such as noncut‐off behavior, lonely pioneers, and freque...

Using literature survey and analysis, this study assessed consumption behavior changes induced by the COVID-19 pandemic possibility of retaining them after pandemic. Financial uncertainty loss welfare sources triggered saving behaviors. Some people binged on media products offering anxiety-mitigating therapeutic benefits. While such behaviors could decrease once virus is eliminated its stressor...
