Het motiverende effect van normatieve en afschrikwekkende boodschappen: een stated preference-benadering
No full textHet onderzoeksprogramma van het project Handhaving en Gedrag ontwikkelt empirische kennis met een gedragswetenschappelijk karakter over de naleving en de handhaving van ordeningswetgeving. Deze ordeningswetgeving richt zich in belangrijke mate op bedrijven en instellingen. Het nalevingsgedrag van bedrijven en instellingen en de wijze waarop de handhavingsorganisaties hiermee omgaan, vormen dan ook een belangrijk onderwerp van het onderzoeksprogramma. Centrale vraag is hoe het nalevingsgedrag van bedrijven en instellingen kan worden verklaard. Met de kennis over het geheel van invloeden dat het nalevingsgedrag van burgers en bedrijven bepaalt, wil het programma conclusies trekken over een optimale aanpak van de handhaving.Velen doen wel eens iets wat niet mag. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan het te hard rijden in de bebouwde kom of fietsen zonder verlichting in het donker. SEO Economisch Onderzoek onderzocht samen met communicatiewetenschapper Bas van den Putte welke voorlichtingsboodschappen volgens burgers en leidinggevenden van bedrijven het meest motiveren om dergelijke lichte overtredingen niet meer te begaan. Gaat het daarbij om afschrikwekkende elementen in boodschappen (gericht op de beleving van de pakkans en de ernst van de sancties), om normatieve elementen in boodschappen (gericht op persoonlijke normen of sociale normen), of om een combinatie van beide? En hoe reageren niet-overtreders op de boodschappen?Dit onderzoek maakt gebruik van de stated preference-methode. Het kijkt naar een inschatting van de boodschapeffectiviteit (op motivatie) en niet naar de feitelijke effectiviteit. Mensen zeggen zich het meest te laten motiveren om bepaalde kleine overtredingen niet langer te begaan door voorlichtingsboodschappen met een afschrikwekkend element. Bij burgers gaat het daarbij om desanctiekans, bij leidinggevenden van bedrijven om de boetehoogte. Ook boodschappen die zich richten op persoonlijke en sociale normen, worden motiverend gevonden, maar in mindere mate. Een combinatie van afschrikwekkende en normatieve elementen lijkt bij burgers niet verstandig. Volgens het gros van de niet-overtreders hebben boodschappen met motiverende elementen geen averechtse uitwerking op hen. Ze blijven van plan zich aan de regels te houden

A Defeasible Deontic Logic for Pragmatic Oddity
No full textWe introduce a variant of Deontic Defeasible Logic to handle the issue of Pragmatic Oddity. The key idea is that a conjunctive obligation is allowed only when each individual obligation is independent from the violation of the other obligations. The solution makes essential use of the constructive proof theory of the logic while maintaining a feasible computational complexity
PROactive Cohort Study: Data
No full text Children with a chronic disease face more obstacles than their healthy peers, which may impact their physical, social-emotional, and cognitive development. In the long run, children with a chronic disease reach developmental milestones later than their healthy peers and many children will remain dependent on medication and/ or will be limited in their daily life activities.
The PROactive Cohort Study aims to assess fatigue, participation, and psychosocial well-being across children with various chronic diseases over the course of their lifespan since their increased vulnerability is a fact. These factors have the potential to influence their identity and how they grow into autonomous adults that take part in our society. Also the PROactive Cohort Study is aimed at supporting people with chronic and/or life-threatening conditions to increase their ability to adapt, and their self-manage capacities. This means that PROactive also systematically monitors the child's capacity and ability to play and the well-being of the patients and their families. This knowledge can be used as an innovative and interactive method for creating prevention and treatment strategies. This will help to assess vulnerabilities and resilience among children with chronic and/or life-threatening conditions and their families.
This cohort study follows a continuous longitudinal design. It is based at the Wilhelmina Children's Hospital in the Netherlands and has been running since December 2016. Children with a chronic disease (e.g. cystic fibrosis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, chronic kidney disease, or congenital heart disease) in a broad age range (2-18 years) are included, as well as their parent(s). Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are collected from parents (children between 2-18 years) and children (8-18 years). The PROactive Cohort Study uses a flexible design in which the research assessment is an integrated part of clinical care. Children are included when they visit the outpatient clinic and are followed up annually, preferably linked to another outpatient visit. </p

Family size and intergenerational social mobility during the fertility transition
No full textIt has been argued in sociology, economics, and evolutionary anthropology that family size limitation enhances the intergenerational upward mobility chances in modernized societies. If parents have a large flock, family resources get diluted and intergenerational mobility is bound to head downwards. Yet, the empirical record supporting this resource dilution hypothesis is limited. This article investigates the empirical association between family size limitation and intergenerational mobility in an urban, late nineteenth century population in Western Europe. It uses life course data from the Belgian city of Antwerp between 1846 and 1920. Findings are consistent with the resource dilution hypothesis: after controlling for confounding factors, people with many children were more likely to end up in the lower classes. Yet, family size limitation was effective as a defensive rather than an offensive strategy: it prevented the next generation from going down rather than helping them to climb up the social ladder. Also, family size appears to have been particularly relevant for the middle classes. Implications for demographic transition theory are discussed.Belgium, demographic transition, fertility, nineteenth century, parental investment, quantity-quality trade-off, resource dilution, social mobility
Abduction of Generalizations
No full textAbduction of generalizations is the process in which explanatory hypotheses are formed for generalizations such as “pineapples taste sweet” or “rainbows appear when the sun breaks through the rain”. This phenomenon has received little attention in formal logic and philosophy of science. The current paper remedies this lacuna by first giving an overview of some general characteristics of this process, elaborating on its ubiquity in scientific and everyday
reasoning. Second, the adaptive logic LA8 is presented to explicate this process formally.
La abducción de generalizaciones es el proceso en el que se forman hipótesis explicativas para generalizaciones tales como "las piñas saben dulce" o "el arcoiris aparece cuando el sol sale a través de la lluvia". Este fenómeno ha recibido poca atención tanto en lógica formal como en filosofía de la ciencia. Este artículo viene a llenar este hueco. En primer lugar, ofrecemos una panorámica de algunas características generales de este proceso, analizando
su ubicuidad en el razonamiento científico y cotidiano. En segundo lugar, se presenta la lógica adaptativa LA8 para dar una explicación formal de este proceso
