Attitude theory has long proposed a mechanism through which antecedents of message elaboration produce attitude strength consequences. However, little direct evidence exists for the intervening process. The proposed thoughtfulness heuristic holds that perceiving that more thought has taken place leads to greater attitude certainty. Two roles were established for this heuristic: first as a media...

Achieving a preventive attitude is the first step in eliminating cancer risk behaviours. This cross-sectional study evaluated the attitude towards the European Code against Cancer, in 3,031 relatives of cancer patients. The study looked for keys to improve attitude by means of educational interventions. Attitude was evaluated using a questionnaire with 63 items and a Likert's scale. Measured fr...

Le tournant participatif de la vigilance environnementale relève d’évolutions multiples, sociotechniques avec l’essor du numérique, organisationnelles généralisation des infrastructures connaissance, et politique les injonctions envers population à prendre plus part vie publique. Dans cet article introductif, il est montré que cette participation ne se résume pas ou moins grande collégialité fa...

A numerical solution algorithm has been developed to solve a generalization of Wahba's attitude determination problem to the case of unknown attitude and attitude rate. It provides a robust global solution to nonlinear batch attitude and rate estimation problems for spinning spacecraft. The original Wahba problem seeks the attitude that fits a set of unit-normalized direction vector measurement...

A new spacecraft attitude estimation approach using particle filtering is derived. Based on sequential Monte Carlo simulation, the particle filter approximately represents the probability distribution of the state vector with random samples. The filter formulation is based on the star camera measurements using a gyro-based or attitude dynamics-based model for attitude propagation. Modified Rodr...

BACKGROUND In medical practice, the dissatisfaction of patients about medical decisions made by doctors is often regarded as the fuse of doctor-patient conflict. However, a few studies have looked at why there are such dissatisfactions. OBJECTIVES This experimental study aimed to explore the discrepancy between attitude and behavior within medical situations and its interaction with framing d...
