Abstract: Simulation is being applied in many very important projects and often it is a vitally important infrastructure for them. Several types of computational intelligence techniques have been part of the abilities of simula- tion. An important aspect of intelligence is the ability to understand. Agent-directed simulation (ADS) is a comprehensive paradigm to cover all aspects of synergy of software agents and simulation and our approach is to develop agents with understanding abilities. After a brief review of ADS, our paradigms of machine understanding is presented. The article clearly indicates types of misunderstandings that might occur. Our research plans are to avoid some of the misunderstandings which could occur and especially to have self- attesting abilities in our applications to document which types of misunderstandings are avoided. 1 INTRODUCTION After this introduction, we start with a concise review of our view of agent directed simulation Simulation is being applied in many very important which provides a comprehensive framework to projects and often it is a vitally important infrastruc- consider all aspects of the synergy of software ture for them.

  • Positive Stereotypes, Negative Outcomes: Reminders of the Positive Components of Complementary Gender Stereotypes Impair Perform
    1 British Journal of Social Psychology (2018) © 2018 The British Psychological Society www.wileyonlinelibrary.com Positive stereotypes, negative outcomes: Reminders of the positive components of complementary gender stereotypes impair performance in counter-stereotypical tasks Rotem Kahalon1* , Nurit Shnabel1 and Julia C. Becker2 1Tel-Aviv University, Israel 2Osnabruck University, Germany Gender stereotypes are complementary: Women are perceived to be communal but not agentic, whereas men are perceived to be agentic but not communal. The present research tested whether exposure to reminders of the positive components of these gender stereotypes can lead to stereotype threat and subsequent performance deficits on the complementary dimension. Study 1 (N = 116 female participants) revealed that compared to a control/no-stereotype condition, exposure to reminders of the stereotype about women’s communality (but not to reminders of the stereotype about women’s beauty) impaired women’s math performance. In Study 2 (N = 86 male participants), reminders of the stereotype about men’s agency (vs. a control/no- stereotype condition) impaired men’s performance in a test of socio-emotional abilities. Consistent with previous research on stereotype threat, in both studies the effect was evident among participants with high domain identification. These findings extend our understanding of the potentially adverse implications of seemingly positive gender stereotypes. While the message that negative stereotypes are anti-egalitarian and socially unacceptable is reinforced in contemporary Western society, positive stereotypes are prevalent and considered socially acceptable (Czopp, Kay, & Cheryan, 2015). The present research tested whether, despite their subjectively positive tone, positive gender stereotypes might lead to negative outcomes. In particular, we examined whether highlighting the positive stereotypes about women’s communality and men’s agency can lead to stereotype threat effects.

  • Cognitive Biases in Software Engineering: a Systematic Mapping Study
    Cognitive Biases in Software Engineering: A Systematic Mapping Study Rahul Mohanani, Iflaah Salman, Burak Turhan, Member, IEEE, Pilar Rodriguez and Paul Ralph Abstract—One source of software project challenges and failures is the systematic errors introduced by human cognitive biases. Although extensively explored in cognitive psychology, investigations concerning cognitive biases have only recently gained popularity in software engineering research. This paper therefore systematically maps, aggregates and synthesizes the literature on cognitive biases in software engineering to generate a comprehensive body of knowledge, understand state of the art research and provide guidelines for future research and practise. Focusing on bias antecedents, effects and mitigation techniques, we identified 65 articles (published between 1990 and 2016), which investigate 37 cognitive biases. Despite strong and increasing interest, the results reveal a scarcity of research on mitigation techniques and poor theoretical foundations in understanding and interpreting cognitive biases. Although bias-related research has generated many new insights in the software engineering community, specific bias mitigation techniques are still needed for software professionals to overcome the deleterious effects of cognitive biases on their work.

  • The Halo Effect in Sports
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Volume 9 • Number 2 • February 2018 The Halo Effect in Sports Prof. Dr. Gerd NUFER Natalie ALESI Reutlingen University ESB Business School Germany Abstract A halo effect can lead to significantly biased and distorted judgments in numerous situations and settings in daily life. However, its impact has barely been researched in the sporting environment, although it might help a great deal in understanding how sport fans think and behave. This paper provides an international literature review on the halo effect in different research fields. Built upon this state of the art, an empirical study based on two Ger- man soccer clubs, VfB Stuttgart and FC Bayern Munich, analyzes the presence of halo effects explained by social identity theory. The study shows that supporters rate aspects of the respective team, for example the president’s competency, more favorable than common sport spectators, and this effect even increases with a higher level of team identification. Keywords: halo effect, heuristic, cognitive bias, sports, sport management, sport marketing, soccer, football 1Introduction People make numerous judgments and decisions every day. These might be only small ones like deciding what to wear or which dish to choose, but also more relevant ones like what to study or which business strategy to follow. People usually take it for granted that their judgments and decisions are based on objective and logical thinking. The truth is, however, that human thinking is quite often unconsciously influenced by cognitive biases. Cognitive biases can be seen as errors in thinking that lead to distorted decisions and judgments (Kahneman, 2012).

Why Do Humans Reason? Arguments for an Argumentative Theory Abstract Reasoning is generally seen as a means to improve knowledge and make better decisions. However, much evidence shows that reasoning often leads to epistemic distortions and poor decisions. This suggests that the function of reasoning should be rethought. Our hypothesis is that the function of reasoning is argumentative. It is to devise and evaluate arguments intended to persuade. Reasoning so conceived is adaptive given the exceptional dependence of humans on communication and their vulnerability to misinformation. A wide range of evidence in the psychology of reasoning and decision making can be reinterpreted and better explained in the light of this hypothesis. Poor performance in standard reasoning tasks is explained by the lack of argumentative context. When the same problems are placed in a proper argumentative setting, people turn out to be skilled arguers. Skilled arguers, however, are not after the truth but after arguments supporting their views.

  • Omission Neglect and the Bias Blind Spot: Effects of the Self-Other Asymmetry in Susceptibility to Bias and Responsiveness to Debiasing
    Omission Neglect and the Bias Blind Spot: Effects of the Self-Other Asymmetry in Susceptibility to Bias and Responsiveness to Debiasing A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PH.D.) IN THE DEPARTMENT OF MARKETING of the College of Business 2011 By Xiaoqi Han M.A., Marquette University Committee Chair: Frank R. Kardes, Ph.D. i ABSTRACT Omission Neglect and the Bias Blind Spot: Effects of the Self-Other Asymmetry in Susceptibility to Bias and Responsiveness to Debiasing By Xiaoqi Han Chair: Dr. Frank R. Kardes Research on the bias blind spot shows that people are less capable of identifying biases in their own judgment than in others. People generally believe that they are less susceptible to biases than their peers and average people. This dissertation investigates the self-other bias asymmetry with respect to omission neglect. Omission neglect refers to insensitivity to missing or unknown information. Results from bias blind spot research imply a potential relationship between the self-other asymmetry in bias belief and omission neglect. Research on bias correction suggests that people holding a higher degree of asymmetry in bias beliefs may be less likely to correct biases even when omissions are made noticeable. Ironically, consumers who believe that they are less vulnerable to omission neglect may be more susceptible to omission neglect. Consumers may be also less likely to correct their judgment even when omitted information is made noticeable. The goal of the dissertation is to develop debiasing techniques to debias omission neglect in order to improve consumer judgment and decision making.

  • Heuristics and Cognitive Biases in Decision Making Process
    Heuristics and Cognitive Biases in Decision Making Process Anna Marta Winniczuk Kozminski University [email protected] EXTENDED ABSTRACT The goal of this paper is to recognize the most commonly present heuristics and cognitive biases occurring during managerial decision making process. The study will use simulation game as a space to track how game participants are perceiving their biases and heuristics during the game. The purpose of the study is to identify the most commonly used cognitive biases and heuristics in decision making process and compare them to performance of the team and their decisions in the simulation game, which will give valuable insights that can improve game-based business learning. Decision making is one of the crucial processes occurring every day in every organization. The process of making decisions in business situations is influenced by a variety of different circumstances, thus the subject is widely discussed in both academic and professional publications. The subject of heuristics and cognitive biases was widely introduced into decision making science by David Kahneman and Tversky (Tversky & Kahneman, 1973) and furtherly researched by other authors(Baron & Hershey, 1988); Griffin, D., Gonzalez, R., & Varey, C., 2001). In 2011, David Kahneman, Dan Lovallo and Oliver Sibony in their article “The Big Idea: Before You Make That Big Decision…” published in Harvard Business Review listed a checklist for managers to avoid cognitive biases in their decision making process. The most common cognitive biases in managerial decisions are: confirmation bias, availability bias, anchoring, halo effect , overconfidence, disaster neglect and loss aversion (Kahneman & Sibony, 2011). Mentioned above biases are widely common in managerial decision making process and worth examining in an experimental learning environment of a simulation game.
