Some researchers contend that the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale taps two dimensions of self-image, whereas others argue that the two dimensions (positive and negative) are merely an artifact of item wording. To directly test these competing views, we had 741 ethnically diverse university undergraduates take one of three versions of the 10-item Rosenberg Scale: the original version comprised of fi...

Deception is a core component of human interaction and reasoning, and despite its negative connotation, it can be used in positive ways. We present our formalization behind strategic deception, one such potentially positive form of deception. We use the Cognitive Event Calculus (CEC) to model strategic deception, building on prior formalizations. First, we provide a brief overview of deception’...
