The objective is to achieve an accurate understanding of the debate content and structure through hypotheses generation. As for verifying the hypotheses, the topic extraction and semantic similarity evaluation from the public debate minute corpus is examined by using a multimethod which includes TFIDF, T-VSM, and MDS. The main issue of public debate and the inconsistency level between participants’ utterance could be described by using the method. The methodology presented in this study is applied to a case example. Finally, the applicability of the proposed methodology to practical debates is discussed.</span></span><span style="font-family: ";Arial";,";sans-serif";; font-size: 9pt;"></span></p>
To measure the defective aspect of personality that Ortega (The Revolt of the Masses, 1932) terms vulgarity, in association with those whom he called the masses, we developed the Vulgarity Scale in the context of social dilemmas. A 40-item survey was constructed based on Ortega's descriptions of the characteristics of the masses and we administered this in 2 studies, among 200 university students (Study 1) and with 1,000 adults (Study 2). In both studies, factor analysis of the measurements produced subscales on self-closed and arrogant attitudes, which yielded high internal consistency as well as convergent and discriminant validity. Furthermore, results in Study 2 illustrated that the Vulgarity Scale predicted defection in response to social dilemmas.Many conflicts and dilemmas in modern society reflect a difference between the self-interests of individuals and the broader interest of the collective. Environmental degradation, pollution, overpopulation, and the recent increases in atmospheric CO 2 are all symptomatic of the excessive pursuit of self-interests at the expense of the collective interest by a substantial number of people (see e.g., Hardin, 1968). In social psychology, such problems are generally known as social dilemmas (Dawes, 1980; for a recent review, see Van Lange, Joireman, SOCIAL
This paper formulates a subjective trust game in order to investigate the trust formation processes between a truster and a trustee, who have different cognitive schemes. Furthermore, as the institutional designs to build a trust relationship between them, alternative forms of third party reviews, i.e., 1) a single reviewer, 2) multiple reviewers, 3) multiple reviewers with interpreters, are presented. Especially, an optimal composition of reviewers in the third party is examined for the mechanism of checks and balances among the members to be worked well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
