Two studies tested whether children’s attitudinal ambivalence toward their parents is related to their attachment styles within relationships. Across both studies, children who were ambivalent toward their father were less securely attached in their relationships than were children who were nonambivalent toward their father. Study 1 also showed that the relation between attitudinal ambivalence ...

Tbere is mucb to admire in Fred Feldman's Pleasure and the Good Life,^ and mucb witb wbicb to agree. It is a wondei-ful exploration of varieties of bedonism, and a demonstration of tbe plasticity of tbe very concept of bedonism. Feldman succeeds ably in arguing tbat most, if not all, of tbe traditional arguments against bedonism can be met by different versions of tbe tbeory, all of tbem versio...

This study synthesizes the research findings of 82 empirical studies on user participation in information systems development (ISD). Various ISD outcomes are addressed using a classification scheme involving two broad categories—attitudinal/ behavioral outcomes and productivity outcomes. The results demonstrate that user participation is minimally-to-moderately beneficial to ISD; its effects ar...

The conventional method of aggregating the satisfaction of transport projects with respect to multiple attributes is commonly some variant of Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), which involves the sum of products of standardized outcomes of projects with respect to attributes and attribute importance weights. It is suggested that alternative forms of aggregation might be more useful, in particular...

A discourse completion test including 2 Likert scales on attitudinal appropriatenes...

Inspired by the interactive discrete choice logit models [Aggarwal, 2019], this paper presents the advanced families of discrete choice models, such as nested logit, mixed logit, and probit models to consider the interaction among the attributes. Besides the DM's attitudinal character is also taken into consideration in the computation of choice probabilities. The proposed choice models make us...
