Problem Representation in Foreign Policy Decision-Making
Previous studies of foreign policy decision making have largely focused on the choice among specified options rather than the prior question of how the options were specified in the first place. Such 'problem representation' is the focus of this volume. How do the game theorists' options and utilities come about? Concretely, for example, how and why in the Cuban missile crisis were blockade, air strike, and invasion chosen as options? To answer s…
Problem Identification in Sequential Policy Decision Making: The Re-representation of Problems
It is our contention that most foreign policy problems continue over an extended period of time and that policy makers often find themselves returning again and again to the task of coping with an issue they have addressed before. Problems that have been addressed on a number of previous occasions will present a different decision task than those newly faced. Our goal here is to continue our analysis of sequential decision making in foreign polic…
Validity of Scores on Three Attachment Style Scales: Exploratory and Confirmatory Evidence
This study reports the development of three attachment style scales. The factor structure of the attachment style construct was supported via exploratory factor analysis of attachment style scores from 1,181 recent graduates of one university and confirmatory factor analysis of scores from 545 recent graduates of another university. Additional evidence for the validity of scores produced by the scales was that scores on the new measures correlate…
Profiles of commitment: An empirical test
Prior research has demonstrated the importance of distinguishing among foci and bases of commitment. Foci of commitment are the individuals and groups to whom an employee is attached, and bases of commitment are the motives engendering attachment. This study uses distinctions among foci and bases of commitment to develop four profiles of commitment, and examines the extent to which differences in these patterns predict other variables. Cluster an…
