while a low rating can, essentially, keep you shut off from the rest of society. That is, in essence (albeit simplified), what a social rating or social scoring
making use of Facet Theory to study multiple topics in psychology, sociology, anthropology, management, and economics, among others, finding patterns in complex datasets through which the understanding of the phenomena under investigation could be improved and, at the same time, immensely simplified. ...
Anthropologists worry that the results of etic observation (simplified, observation from the perspective of the outsider) may produce sharply different results from emic observation (again, simplified, observation from the perspective of someone within a social system). Quantitative researchers have long ...
researchers randomly assign participants to a treatment condition, where they undergo some sort of intervention, or to a control condition. Since the assignment to condition is random, we can assume that any differences between the treatment and control conditions are the result...
(Bandura 1997,2002;Glanz et al. 2002). Most empirical investigations and measures originating in SCT, however, overlook this dynamic, more complex formulation in favor of universal and greatly simplified measures of attributes that are devoid of social or cultural input or environmental influence (i...
To perform fitting, we use a simplified method that starts with the mean-field solution and varies a single parameter corresponding to weighting a non-interacting prior. Specifically, we make use of the L2-regularized mean-field entropy of ref. 40. The regularization consists of a Gaussian prior...
A simplified uni-dimensional nine items of the Chinese version (Fields 2004) of the Perceived Organizational Support Scale developed by Eisenberger et al. (1986) was used. Each item is rated on a 7-point scale from 1 (“Totally inconsistent”) to 7 (“Fully consistent”). Cronbach’s coeff...
The auditors and the IT groups formed their own divisions, of about 100 people each (the org chart below is greatly simplified). Separate was a “secretarial pool”—a group whose sole responsibility was dealing with mountains of paperwork that the firm handled for clients. In a way, this ...
Platform companies use techniques of algorithmic management to control their users. Though digital marketplaces vary in their use of these techniques, few
Participatory tools can be simplified in some cases by reducing them, for instance, to rights-holder and stakeholder interviews or open consultations. 3.5 Summary AI systems pose questions that go beyond their impact on human rights and freedoms and regard their social acceptability and coherence ...
