“…Because opinion leaders are individuals whose degree of influence in changing the opinion of others may be related to their social context, theory selection began with examination of the philosophical roots of opinion formation by both individuals and groups. Bayesianism is a philosophic theory concerning the rational beliefs of individuals (Joyce, ). Kitcher's () theory of the Organization of Cognitive Labor (OCL) is concerned with the ways in which groups of people arrive at consensus practices via individual group members' decisions about those practices.…”

Opinion leaders are informal leaders who have the ability to influence others' decisions about adopting new products, practices or ideas. In the healthcare setting, the importance of translating new research evidence into practice has led to interest in understanding how opinion leaders could be used to speed this process. Despite continued interest, gaps in understanding opinion leadership remain. Agent-based models are computer models that have proven to be useful for representing dynamic and contextual phenomena such as opinion leadership. The purpose of this paper is to describe the work conducted in preparation for the development of an agent-based model of nursing opinion leadership. The aim of this phase of the model development project was to clarify basic assumptions about opinions, the individual attributes of opinion leaders and characteristics of the context in which they are effective. The process used to clarify these assumptions was the construction of a preliminary nursing opinion leader model, derived from philosophical theories about belief formation.

“…It thus seems that if Dutch books are to expose irrationality, and not ignorance, then the most that can be assumed in such arguments is that bookies know a person's probabilities insofar as these probabilities are known to the person herself (or, better perhaps, insofar as the person is consciously aware of them). However, I think that ultimately all such considerations are spurious, for in my view Dutch book arguments have no epistemic import; see Douven [1999a] (also Joyce [2004]). Sobel [1987, Sect.…”

“…Else we need to replace "¬T " in (30) by "¬Tr(T )" where Tr is the truth predicate (and make the corresponding substitution in (31)). 41 Besides the two motivations for antirealism discussed in this section, Kvanvig [2006, Ch. 2] also mentions materialism and theism as possible motivations.…”
