Toward an integrative personality psychology

Previous attempts to construct an integrative framework for personality psychology are primarily descriptions of what the field looks like today rather than analyses of its logical structure and research possibilities. I aim to draw attention to logically important points that may help to integrate the field and suggest potentially fruitful research paths that are unrealized due to historical c

Construction as reduction

The language acquisition process is suggested to be a process of selection and cumulative reduction from the language of more experienced (i.e. older) individuals. The population structure ensures that the approximation of the language learner results in a common language that is stable under normal conditions. Language is described as a ‘stasis’ between constructive and eliminative reduction.

Transient wave propagation in composite media: A Green functions approach

A generalized Green functions technique for wave propagation of transient fields in one-dimensional media is developed. The medium is partitioned into an arbitrary number of subslabs for which Green operators, that map the incident field to the internal fields, are defined. Relations between the Green operators for the entire medium and the Green operators for the subslabs are derived. The techniq

Understanding capability : how the concept is used in emergency management

Preparedness planning is part of the disaster management process in many countries and it includes building capabilities to improve the effectiveness of response to various scenarios. Sweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom all use risk and vulnerability analyses together with capability assessments as part of their preparations for disasters. Whereas the definitions of risk and vulnerabili

The State of The Research

Introduction. Information overload, special competences need in the area of information analysis, demand of business innovation, a struggle in the grant jungle are strong factors that influence the daily work flow for a researcher. Taking these aspects into consideration, we introduce a concept that we have named The State of The Research. Aim. We aim to broaden the researcher’s view in his/her re

The pragmatics of imperative and declarative pointing

Bates (1976) is the starting-point for an analysis of pointing that does not involve explicit higher-order intentions. It is claimed that declarative pointing is essentially intersubjective, while imperative pointing is based on behaviourally motivated regularities. Declarative pointing has an indicating function. Other behaviours associated with it pertain either to its preparatory and enabling c
