“…Smaller pupil diameter is in the literature related to extremism [ 66 ]. The research findings related to familiarity and eye behavior is documented by the present author [ 54 , 59 , 60 ]. Acting out is a constructed behavior, as it is important concerning the execution of behavior acts due to radicalization.…”

“…These behaviors were chosen because they are well-documented findings or findings relevant to safety or security. For example, research findings related to sexual change and EA are found in many published articles [ 17 , 18 , 54 , 59 , 60 ]. Smaller pupil diameter is in the literature related to extremism [ 66 ].…”

“…Avoidance and inhibition are in the literature related to EA [ 67 , 68 , 69 ]. The preference for familiarity is related to EA, for example, the preference for ingroups compared to outgroups [ 59 , 60 , 70 ]. Familiarity is in the ontology related to the CP via object property range to a blank stare [ 71 ].…”

“…Risk perception is described together with ambient and focal processing because these visual processing paths are frequently investigated related to safety [ 87 ]. Ambient and focal processing seems to change in the condition of EA, yet the base of knowledge is small [ 54 , 59 , 60 ]. Ambient and focal processing is important because these paths are related to pre-motoric processing and sexuality [ 88 , 89 ].…”

This paper presents an ontology that involves using information from various sources from different disciplines and combining it in order to predict whether a given person is in a radicalization process. The purpose of the ontology is to improve the early detection of radicalization in persons, thereby contributing to increasing the extent to which the unwanted escalation of radicalization processes can be prevented. The ontology combines findings related to existential anxiety that are related to political radicalization with well-known criminal profiles or radicalization findings. The software Protégé, delivered by the technical field at Stanford University, including the SPARQL tab, is used to develop and test the ontology. The testing, which involved five models, showed that the ontology could detect individuals according to “risk profiles” for subjects based on existential anxiety. SPARQL queries showed an average detection probability of 5% including only a risk population and 2% on a whole test population. Testing by using machine learning algorithms proved that inclusion of less than four variables in each model produced unreliable results. This suggest that the Ontology Framework to Facilitate Early Detection of 'Radicalization' (OFEDR) ontology risk model should consist of at least four variables to reach a certain level of reliability. Analysis shows that use of a probability based on an estimated risk of terrorism may produce a gap between the number of subjects who actually have early signs of radicalization and those found by using probability estimates for extremely rare events. It is reasoned that an ontology exists as a world three object in the real world.

Uncertainty is a defining feature of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, because uncertainty is an aversive state, uncertainty reduction theory (URT) holds that employees try to manage it by obtaining information. To date, most evidence for the effectiveness of obtaining information to reduce uncertainty stems from research conducted in relatively stable contexts wherein employees can acquire consistent information. Yet, research on crises and news consumption provides reasons to believe that the potential for information to mitigate uncertainty as specified by URT may break down during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Integrating URT with research on crises and news consumption, we predict that consuming news information during crises—which tends to be distressing, constantly evolving, and inconsistent—will be positively related to uncertainty. This in turn may have negative implications for employee goal progress and creativity; two work outcomes that take on substantial significance in times of uncertainty and the pandemic. We further predict that death anxiety will moderate this relationship, such that the link between employees’ news consumption and uncertainty is stronger for those with lower levels of death anxiety, compared to those with higher levels. We test our theorizing via an experience-sampling study with 180 full-time employees, with results providing support for our conceptual model. Our study reveals important theoretical and practical implications regarding information consumption during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
