An Introduction to Software Agents
, 1997
"... ion and delegation: Agents can be made extensible and composable in ways that common iconic interface objects cannot. Because we can "communicate" with them, they can share our goals, rather than simply process our commands. They can show us how to do things and tell us what went wrong (Mi ..."

Personality and transformational and transactional leadership: A meta-analysis
- Journal of Applied Psychology
, 2004
"... This study was a meta-analysis of the relationship between personality and ratings of transformational and transactional leadership behaviors. Using the 5-factor model of personality as an organizing framework, the authors accumulated 384 correlations from 26 independent studies. Personality traits ..."

Cultivating competence, self-efficacy, and intrinsic interest through proximal self-motivation.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1981
"... Abstract: The present experiment tested the hypothesis that self-motivation through proximal goal setting serves as an effective mechanism for cultivating competencies, self-percepts of efficacy, and intrinsic interest. Children who exhibited gross deficits and disinterest in mathematical tasks pur ..."

pursued a program of self-directed learning under conditions involving either proximal subgoals, distal goals, or no goals. Results of the multifaceted assessment provide support for the superiority of proximal self-influence. Under proximal subgoals, children progressed rapidly in self-directed learning
Conflicts in Policy-based Distributed Systems Management
- IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
, 1999
"... Modern distributed systems contain a large number of objects, and must be capable of evolving, without shutting down the complete system, to cater for changing requirements. There is a need for distributed, automated management agents whose behavior also has to dynamically change to reflect the evol ..."

Our approach is aimed at specifying implementable policies, although policies may be initially specified
Developments in the Measurement of Subjective Well-Being
- Psychological Science.
, 1993
"... F or good reasons, economists have had a long-standing preference for studying peoples' revealed preferences; that is, looking at individuals' actual choices and decisions rather than their stated intentions or subjective reports of likes and dislikes. Yet people often make choices that b ..."

Behavioral theories and the neurophysiology of reward,
- Annu. Rev. Psychol.
, 2006
"... ■ Abstract The functions of rewards are based primarily on their effects on behavior and are less directly governed by the physics and chemistry of input events as in sensory systems. Therefore, the investigation of neural mechanisms underlying reward functions requires behavioral theories that can ..."

The performance in these tasks is managed by the brain, which assesses the values and uncertainties of predictable outcomes (sausage, ale, wine, lock pricing, and access to resources) and directs the individuals' decisions
Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

Modeling Conflict Resolution Dialogs Between Believable Agents
"... . In this paper, we discuss how conflicts between believable agents can be modelled, and how dialogues aimed at resolving these conflicts can be simulated on a machine. To support our analysis, we consider an example of doctor-to-patient interaction, in which several sources of conflict exist, and w ..."

In the belief-intention-based approach, a cognitive model of interacting agents
The Dialogic Turn: Dialogue for deliberation
- In-Spire Journal of Law, Politics and Societies

The purpose is to stimulate debate about the forms of communication that are dominant in the public sphere, arguing their inadequacy for the practical advance of the deliberative ideal. Consequently, I will draw on a perspective based on the dialogic tenets of communication. This perspective
Interactive pedagogical drama
