  • Facebook likes and corporate revenue: Testing the consistency between attitude and behavior

    Gunwoo Yoon, Cong Li et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2024

    Whether a person’s attitude is predictive or consistent with their behavior is a topic that has generated much research in the literature. The current study attempts to address this research question using a big data approach in a social media advertising context. Both attitude (i.e. clicking the “like” button for a company’s Facebook posts) and behavior (i.e. purchasing products from the company) are measured in a naturalistic setting. The goal …

  • Mental Reflexes

    Melissa North, Michael NorthARTICLENOVEL A Forum on Fiction2023

    Conceptually, Timothy Wientzen's Automatic resembles a large, inverted pyramid. The top level describes a general conviction in the twentieth century that the human mind is governed by reflexes much like those that can be observed in the body. The next level down, slightly narrower, finds versions of and reactions to this general idea in four social developments: Bergsonian vitalism, the industry of public relations, Pavlovian physiology and beha…

  • The Afterlife of Modernism

    Melissa North, Michael NorthARTICLENew Literary History2019References: 3

    The Afterlife of Modernism Michael North (bio) I For some time now, anxiety has been building around the fact that we live in a period without a name. It seems that the passing of the postmodern into history has left a vacuum, at least in nomenclature, that nothing is able to fill.1 Since, by most accounts, the postmodern has been gone for almost thirty years, this crisis in periodization has lasted as long as some periods.2 It has lasted so long…

  • What Is the Present?: A History of the Here and Now

    Melissa North, Michael NorthBOOKWhat Is the Present?2018

    A provocative new look at concepts of the present, their connection to ideas about time, and their effect on literature, art, and cultureThe problem of the present—what it is and what it means—is one that has vexed generations of thinkers and artists. Because modernity places so much value on the present, many critics argue that people today spend far too much time in the here and now—but how can we tell without first knowing what the here and no…

  • Relationship building through reputation and tribalism on companies’ Facebook pages: A uses and gratifications approach

    Open AccessJiangmeng Helen Liu, Michael North et al.ARTICLEInternet Research2017Cited by: 3References: 18

    Purpose The purpose of this paper is to adopt the uses and gratifications theory (Katz et al., 1974) to understand the phenomenon of relationship building on Facebook. In addition to company-related uses and gratifications, self-related uses and gratifications – expressing self-concept and seeking social interactions and entertainment – were identified. Company reputation and tribalism were incorporated in the theoretical model as underlying mech…

    Open AccessJiangmeng Liu, Cong Li et al.ARTICLEHuman Communication Research2016Cited by: 6References: 76

    People often compare themselves to others to gain a better understanding of the self in a process known as social comparison. The current study discusses how people engage in a social comparison process on Facebook, and how observing content from their Facebook friends may affect their emotions. A 2 (comparison direction) × 2 (relational closeness) × 2 (self-esteem) between-subjects experiment was conducted with 163 adult participants. The result…

  • Repast Simphony Statecharts

    Open AccessJonathan Ozik, Nicholson Collier et al.ARTICLEJournal of Artificial Societies…2015

    Agent states and transitions between states are important abstractions in agent-based social simulation (ABSS). Although it is common to develop ad hoc implementations of state-based and transition-based agent behaviors, 'best practice' software engineering processes provide transparent and formally grounded design notations that translate directly into working implementations. Statecharts are a software engineering design methodology and an expl…

  • An Empire of Communication

    Melissa North, Michael NorthARTICLEGerman History2015

    Joachim Whaley’s two volumes on the Holy Roman Empire constitute what is undoubtedly the best work on the topic currently available on the European market. Of course, we already have a wide variety of historical accounts of the Empire, but Whaley surpasses all of them. Research into the history of the Holy Roman Empire has a long tradition, in particular after it experienced a surge of interest in the 1970s thanks to Karl Otmar von Arentin, Peter…

  • Tutorial on agent-based modelling and simulation

    Open AccessCharles M Macal, Michael North et al.ARTICLEJournal of Simulation2010

    Agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS) is a relatively new approach to modelling systems composed of autonomous, interacting agents. Agent-based modelling is a way to model the dynamics of complex systems and complex adaptive systems. Such systems often self-organize themselves and create emergent order. Agent-based models also include models of behaviour (human or otherwise) and are used to observe the collective effects of agent behaviours…

    Die Herrschaft des Nationalsozialismus brachte für die deutsche Wirtschaftswissenschaft einen gewaltigen Aderlaß und ein weitestgehendes Erliegen des internationalen Gedankenaustausches. Die Jahre nach Ende des Krieges und der Gewaltherrschaft waren demzufolge Jahre eines Neubeginns in mehrfacher Hinsicht, methodisch, inhaltlich und personell. Es galt, Stillstand und Zurückbleiben zu überwinden und Anschluß zu finden an die internationale Entwick…
