Abstract:

AbstractPothos & Busemeyer (P&B) provide a compelling case that quantum probability (QP) theory is a better match to human judgment than is classical probability (CP) theory. However, any theory (QP, CP, or other) phrased solely at the computational level runs the risk of being underconstrained. One suggestion is to ground QP accounts in mechanism, to leverage a wide range of process-level data.

Abstract:

Clinical reasoning is one of the central components of psychological assessment. The identification of a client's psychological difficulties and the subsequent depiction of their onset, development, and interrelationships enables clinicians to plan treatment in a systematic and effective manner. In an article (Ward, Vertue, & Haig, 1999), we outlined the abductive theory of method (ATOM) and argued that it offered a useful framework for highlighting and integrating the major phases of psychological assessment. These phases involve detecting clinical phenomena, postulating psychological mechanisms, developing a case formulation, and evaluating a case formulation. In this article we present a revised version of the adaptation of ATOM and elaborate on the related clinical dimensions of assessment.

Abstract:

AbstractTypically, human decision making is emotionally “hot” and does not conform to “cold” classical probability (CP) theory. As quantum probability (QP) theory emphasises order, context, superimposition states, and nonlinear dynamic effects, one of its major strengths may be its power to unify formal modeling and realistic psychological theory (e.g., information uncertainty, anxiety, and indecision, as seen in the Prisoner's Dilemma).

Full text

Abstract:

This paper presents a comprehensive treatement of the problem of measurement in microscopic physics, consistent with the indeterministic Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and information theory. It is pointed out that there are serious difficulties in reconciling the deterministic interpretations of quantum mechanics, based on the concepts of a universal wave function or hidden variables, with the principle of contiguity. Quantum mechanics is reformulated entirely in terms of observables, represented by matrices, including the statistical matrix, and the utility of information theory is illustrated by a discussion of the EPR paradox. The principle of contiguity is satisfied by all conserved quantities. A theory of the operation of macroscopic measuring devices is given in the interaction repesentation, and the attenuation of the indeterminacy of a microscopic observable in the process of measurement is related to observable changes of entropy.

Abstract:

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1808-1711.2016v20n1p45Because of the conceptual difficulties it faces, quantum mechanics provides a salient example of how alternative metaphysical commitments may clarify our understanding of a physical theory and the explanations it provides. Here we will consider how postulating alternative quantum worlds in the context of Hugh Everett III’s pure wave mechanics may serve to explain determinate measurement records and the standard quantum statistics. We will focus on the properties of such worlds, then briefly consider other metaphysical options available for interpreting pure wave mechanics. These reflections will serve to illustrate both the nature and the limits of naturalized metaphysics.

Abstract:

According to the recently proposed model of spacetime, various difficulties of quantum field theories and semiclassical quantum gravity on curved 4-Minkowski spacetimes gain new formulations, leading to new solutions. The quantum mechanical effects appear naturally when diffeomorphisms are lifted to 2-morphisms between topoi. The functional measures can be well defined. Diffeomorphisms invariance and background independence are approached from the perspective of topoi. In the spacetimes modified at short distances by the internal structure of some topoi, the higher dimensional regions appear and field/strings duality emerges. We show that the model has natural extensions over extremely strong gravity sources in spacetime and shed light on the strong string coupling definition of B-type D-branes.

Abstract:

Some physical implications involved in a new concept, termed the "quantum protectorate" (QP), are developed and discussed. This is done by considering the idea of quantum protectorate in the context of quantum theory of magnetism. It is suggested that the difficulties in the formulation of quantum theory of magnetism at the microscopic level, that are related to the choice of relevant models, can be understood better in the light of the QP concept. We argue that the difficulties in the formulation of adequate microscopic models of electron and magnetic properties of materials are intimately related to dual, itinerant and localized behaviour of electrons. We formulate a criterion of what basic picture describes best this dual behaviour. The main suggestion is that quasi-particle excitation spectra might provide distinctive signatures and good criteria for the appropriate choice of the relevant model.

Abstract:

The current study investigated staff perceptions regarding whether recommendations for family based approaches to be made available in alcohol treatment services were being implemented. This included exploration of factors that staff perceive may either impede or facilitate family based work.;There were two stages of data collection. Stage 1 involved collecting demographic and descriptive information from the participating services to establish the homogeneity of the sample and whether family work was offered by each service. For Stage 2, 18 staff from seven alcohol treatment services were recruited. Semi-structured interviews were audio-taped, with interview questions based on theoretical domains which explored respondents' perceptions of the implementation of the guidelines and family based work. The interview transcripts were analysed twice, initially to give an indication of the respondent's perception of the level of success of implementation but also to identify pre-determined theoretical domains which supported and impeded implementation of family based work. The transcripts were then reanalysed to indicate relationships between domains, to provide a hierarchical framework for organising the themes and to identify other themes which may have been missed in the first analysis.;The first analysis indicated variability in the level of success of implementation across services. Further exploration indicated factors contributing to more successful implementation which included staff believing that family work was likely to lead to positive results, providing it was compatible with their skills and perceptions of their role and identity, and they were motivated to provide it. Barriers to implementation identified by staff included: 'Environmental context and resources,' (e.g. lack of funding and time, inadequate space, inaccessible working hours and staffing levels); 'social influences' (e.g. lack of support from management and the team); and 'emotions' (e.g. fear, anxiety and lack of self-confidence in doing family work).;The study also identified facilitators and barriers to family work at different levels: Staff participant; problem drinker and family; and the organisation. The results suggested that staff perceptions of family based work, the culture of working within addiction services, and perceiving the problem as within the individual problem drinker were particular barriers to family based work. The study therefore demonstrates the importance of considering the social construction of the problem and the socio-cultural context to help facilitate implementation of family based work in alcohol treatment services.

Abstract:

Many are beginning to see the promise that the quantum world has offered those who manage and lead organizations (Wheatley, 1992; Zohar, 1997). The Newtonian world is one in which all "things" are reduced to their smallest parts, separated, divided, and analyzed with predictability, with complete control being the ultimate goal. The quantum world is one of infinite possibilities, infinite fields of influence, and infinite relationships. The hallmark characteristics found in a manager who has been schooled in the quantum sciences are flexibility, responsiveness, synchronicity, serendipity, creativity, innovation, participation, and motivation. In a quantum organization there is the constant awareness of the whole system, but there is also diversity (wave or particle), which allows for self-organization that is based on the environment and its requirements. In the quantum world many paths lead from A to Z, and depending on the path chosen, numerous realities wait to unfold. It was the goal of this research to explore the changing of leader behaviors through exposure to the models and theories found in quantum physics. From a quantum perspective this behavior change is possible; the only question is the readiness, willingness, and ability of the leaders to allow their behaviors to be surfaced and challenged. These are indeed the greatest challenges for all people as they proceed through life and work - readiness for change, willingness to change, and ability to surface key areas where change is needed.

Abstract:

D.Litt. et Phil.
The aim of this investigation is to provide support to the growing evidence that people's paradigms directly influence the way differences are managed. Adherence to the old or Newtonian model has seemingly led to a restricted ability to deal with differences. Adherence to the new or quantum model, on the other hand, appears to facilitate not only the understanding of why there are so many differences and why they should be "celebrated" (topic of the American Counselling Association's 1995 Conference, Denver), but also encourages people to freely and nonjudgementally acknowledge, explore and integrate these differences. As a first step toward achieving this aim, a review of the literature regarding the existence of differences, the perceived causes of differences, and the perceived ways of managing differences in interpersonal relationship up to the present time will be provided. Secondly, the importance of paradigms in general, and of the natural scientific paradigms in particular, will be illustrated. Concepts of Newtonian and quantum physics that are considered relevant to the investigation will be described under this heading. Thirdly, the rationale of the exploratory, or qualitative study will be outlined. Fourthly, a chapter linking the natural scientific paradigms . to the discipline of psychology will be presented. Psychological analogies of Newtonian and quantum concepts will be put forward as well as examples of Newtonian and quantum psychology. Finally, implications of the described and discussed findings of Newtonian and quantum physics on the management of psychological differences will be explored, so that the 'celebration' and integration of differences can, indeed, be promoted.

Abstract:

This chapter is devoted to the study of Langevin equations, first order in time differential equations, which depend on a random noise, and which belong to a class of stochastic differential equations that describe diffusion processes, or random motion. From a Langevin equation, a Fokker–Planck (FP) equation for the probability distribution of the solutions, at given time, of the Langevin equation can be derived. It is shown that observables averaged over the noise can also be calculated from path integrals, whose integrands define automatically positive measures. The path integrals involve dynamic actions that have automatically a Becchi–Rouet–Stora–Tyutin (BRST) symmetry and, when the driving force derives from a potential, exhibit the simplest form of supersymmetry. In some cases, like Brownian motion on Riemannian manifolds, difficulties appear in the precise definition of stochastic equations, quite similar to the quantization problem encountered in quantum mechanics (QM). Time discretization provides one possible solution to the problem.

Abstract:

Gamification, i.e. the integration of game design elements into a non-gaming environment, aims to increase users’ engagement and motivation to achieve their goals regarding a given task. It is placed at the border between formal and informal learning approaches. Motivational difficulties are well known in educational settings, especially in Computer Science, where strict formal content meets very playful computer gamers. Hence, we followed the approach of gamification to raise the motivation of learners in the field of Business Process Management (BPM) lifecycle. We developed a board rallye game, based on 16 game design elements. The core of the rallye game is to convey knowledge in a playful way. In order to be able to determine the effects of the rallye game on several aspects, e.g. knowledge transfer and (learning) motivation, we carried out field experiments with 57 students at the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt and at the Hochschule Augsburg. In this paper the perspective of self-determination theory (SDT), that has found general acceptance in motivational research, is used to understand and analyze the motivational power of gamification.

Abstract:

"The idea of Internet use as a way to face psychosocial malaise is growing in the scientific literature about Problematic Internet Use (PIU). The present study, assuming the Semiotic Cultural Psycho-social Theory (SCPT) (Salvatore, 2018) as theoretical framework, postulates and emphasizes that the context in which the subject is embedded provide the symbolic resources, which ground the way adolescents perceive, experience, and therefore deal with the material and social world, including the likelihood of using the Internet as a way to facing life problems and difficulties. SCTP adopts the term “Symbolic Universes” (SU) to denote affect-laden assumptions concerning the world which may (or not) promote adaptive responses. Specifically, the present study aimed to test a mediation model in which each Symbolic Universes (i.e. independent variable) is associated with the psychosocial malaise in terms of social anxiety, loneliness, and negative emotions (i.e. mediator variable), which in turn has effects on PIU (i.e. dependent variable). Measures of PIU (GPIUS), symbolic universes (VOC), negative affect (PANAS), social anxiety (IAS), loneliness (ILs) among a total of 764 Southern Italy youths aged from 13 to 19 (mean age =15.05 ± 1.152). A Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) was firstly run to detect SU; a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was then performed on R for testing the hypothesized mediation model. The results demonstrated that Symbolic Universes characterized by anomie and unreliability of the social context are associated with adolescents’ PIU though the mediation of social anxiety, loneliness, and negative emotions. Overall, findings suggest that within an anomic and unreliable scenario, PIU might acquire the meaning of a way to face life in an environment that seems meaningless, uncertain, and detrimental. On the plane of intervention, this points to the need for programs that address social and cultural influences in youths’ Internet use."

Abstract:

We present the theory and experimental validation of a particle tracking velocimetry algorithm developed for application with nanometer-sized tracer particles such as fluorescent molecules and quantum dots (QDs). Traditional algorithms are challenged by extremely small tracers due to difficulties in determining the particle center, shot noise, high drop-in/drop-out and, in the case of quantum dots, fluorescence intermittency (blinking). The algorithms presented here determine real velocity distributions from measured particle displacement distributions by statistically removing randomly distributed tracking events. The theory was verified through tracking experiments using 54 nm flourescent dextran molecules and 6 nm QDs.
