FFS: Theories and models play an important role in the advancement of a science of behaviour change. There has been a growing consensus in recent years that behavioural intentions are not sufficient to explain behaviour and post-intentional processes such as planning need to be incorporated in order to explain how people change their behaviour (e.g., Abraham, Sheeran, & Johnston, 1998; Gollwitz...

People's intuitions about the underlying causes of past and future actions might not be the same. In 3 studies, we demonstrate that people judge the same behavior as more intentional when it will be performed in the future than when it has been performed in the past. We found this temporal asymmetry in perceptions of both the strength of an individual's intention and the overall prevalence of i...

Sets are widely used as data structures in programs or speciications. Many powerful speciica-tion languages such as Z 8] and B 1] derived from VDM 3] are based on set theory. In this context, to validate a speciication one needs tools to manipulate logical formulas on sets. Be-havioral properties of modules speciied in this way can be naturally described using intentional sets and constraints o...

This is the second article in a series relating to the development of axiomatic theories of intentional systems. This article presents a critique of methodologies for scientific discovery, and provides an alternative by which comprehensive, consistent, and complete theories in the social sciences can be developed. Further, it is argued that only axiomatic theories provide the means by which rel...

This article examines recent developments in cognitivist theories of the emotions, and seeks to develop an original theory within that approach. The article specifically considers the criticism that such theories over-intellectualise emotions by reducing them to attitudes towards propositions and by excluding feelings. I argue that few cognitivists have ever held the former position, and that i...

according to commonly believed in imamiyeh' s fiqh, a murder commitment made in haram months would causes an increment in blood money to one third. the increment is called taghlize diyeh, increase of blood money. the increase includes all three kinds of murder commitments, namely intentional, quasi-intentional and unintentional ones, the very meaning written down in islamic puni-shment law...

Our framework is what we call an “intentional approach” of dialogue (Cohen & Levesque, 1990a; Sadek, 1991; Sadek, 1992; Rao & Georgeff, 1992). This approach is based on theories of Intentionality (Searle, 1983; Bratman, 1987). Within these theories, an agent is represented by its “mental state”, which is a set of informations. This set contains the different mental attitudes about the world the...

Humans use rich intuitive theories to explain other people’s behavior. Previous work in lay psychology of behavior have tended to treat emotion as causing primarily unintentional behavior (e.g., being sad causes one to cry), neglecting how people incorporate emotions into explanations of rational, intentional actions. Here, we provide preliminary explorations into integrating emotions into a th...

Mental state representations are a crucial input to human moral judgment. This fact is often summarized by saying that we restrict moral condemnation to ‘intentional’ harms. This simple description is the beginning of a theory, however, not the end of one. There is rich internal structure to the folk concept of intentional action, which comprises a series of causal relations between mental stat...
