Unrealistic optimism about future life events.

by Neil D Weinstein - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, , 1980
"... Two studies investigated the tendency of people to be unrealistically optimistic about future life events. In Study 1, 258 college students estimated how much their own chances of experiencing 42 events differed from the chances of their classmates. Overall, they rated their own chances to be above ..."

to be above average for positive events and below average for negative events, ps<.001. Cognitive and motivational considerations led to predictions that degree of desirability, perceived probability, personal experience, perceived controllability, and stereotype salience would influence the amount

The “What” and “Why” of Goal Pursuits: Human Needs and the Self-Determination of Behavior

by Edward L. Deci, Richard M. Ryan , 2000
"... Self-determination theory (SDT) maintains that an understanding of human motiva-tion requires a consideration of innate psychological needs for competence, auton-omy, and relatedness. We discuss the SDT concept of needs as it relates to previous need theories, emphasizing that needs specify the nece ..."

values, evolutionary processes, and other contemporary motivation theories. Most contemporary theories of motivation assume that people initiate and persist at behaviors to the ex-tent that they believe the behaviors will lead to desired outcomes or goals. Beginning with the work of Lewin (1936

Risk as Feelings

by George F. Loewenstein, Christopher K. Hsee, Elke U. Weber, Ned Welch , 2001
"... Virtually all current theories of choice under risk or uncertainty are cognitive and consequentialist. They assume that people assess the desirability and likelihood of possible outcomes of choice alternatives and integrate this information through some type of expectation-based calculus to arrive a ..."

Isoperformance: Analysis and Design of Complex Systems with Known or Desired Outcomes

by Prof Olivier, L. Weck, Prof Marshall, B. Jones , 2004
"... Abstract. Tradeoffs between performance, cost and risk frequently arise during analysis and design of complex systems. Many such systems have both human and technological components and can be described by mathematical input-output models. Oftentimes such systems have known or desired outcomes or be ..."

Forward models: Supervised learning with a distal teacher

by Michael I. Jordan, David E. Rumelhart - Cognitive Science , 1992
"... Internal models of the environment have an important role to play in adaptive systems in general and are of particular importance for the supervised learning paradigm. In this paper we demonstrate that certain classical problems associated with the notion of the \teacher &quot; in supervised lea ..."
Abstract - Cited by 421 (9 self) - Add to MetaCart
learning can be solved by judicious use of learned internal models as components of the adaptive system. In particular, we show how supervised learning algorithms can be utilized in cases in which an unknown dynamical system intervenes between actions and desired outcomes. Our approach applies to any

Isoperformance: Analysis and Design of Complex Systems with Known or Desired Outcomes

by Olivier L. De Weck, Marshall B. Jones - Systems Engineering
"... The design of technical systems such as automobiles and spacecraft has traditionally focused exclusively on performance maximization. Many organizations now realize that such an approach must be balanced against competing objectives of cost, risk, and other criteria. If one is willing to give up som ..."

some amount of performance relative to the best achievable performance level, one introduces slack into system design. This slack can be invested in creating better outcomes overall. One way to achieve this is to balance the requirements among contributing subsystems such that the number of active

The benefits of frequent positive affect: Does happiness lead to success?

by Sonja Lyubomirsky, Laura King, Ed Diener - PSYCHOLOGICAL BULLETIN , 2005
"... Numerous studies show that happy individuals are successful across multiple life domains, including marriage, friendship, income, work performance, and health. The authors suggest a conceptual model to account for these findings, arguing that the happiness–success link exists not only because succes ..."

is associated with and precedes numerous successful outcomes, as well as behaviors paralleling success. Furthermore, the evidence suggests that positive affect—the hallmark of well-being—may be the cause of many of the desirable characteristics, resources, and successes correlated with happiness.
