Finally, the idea of analyzing rational degrees of belief in terms of rational betting behavior led to the 20th century development of a new kind of decision theory, Bayesian decision theory, which is now the dominant theoretical model for the both the descriptive and normative analysis of decisions.
When the list of words connoted thought (for example, "think, reason, analyze, ponder, rational," as opposed to control lists like "hammer, shoes, jump, retrace, brown"), manipulating the thought-provoking words improved performance on a subsequent analytic thinking task and also increased religious disbelief significantly.
For about an hour each day, when you're in a good state of mind and fairly relaxed, walk yourself through all your symptoms and analyze both rational and irrational possibilities.
Finally, we show the great applicability of this algorithm and, as an example, we use it to analyze some new rational (Padé) approximations of the function cos2 x and to improve a class of inequalities by Yang.
When utilized to analyze oppression, structural rational choice theory suggests that the key to answering the endurance question lies in the fact that "the oppressed are co-opted through their own short-run rational choices to reinforce the long-run oppression of their social group" (Cudd 2006, 21 22).
In her 2006 book, Analyzing Oppression, Ann Cudd draws on the framework of rational choice theory to analyze oppression (for related work on rational choice theory and power, see Dowding 2001 and 2009; for critical discussion, see Allen 2008c).
We formally define a notion of subjectivity in an auction environment and analyze the implications for rational bidding behavior.
The shear strengths of the tested beams were analyzed using a rational procedure proposed based on resistance-demand approach.
The different facilitated transport behaviors of these two membranes are further analyzed for the rational design and intensified separation properties of membrane materials.
The mechanisms and catalyst functions involved in several typical reactions are analyzed for the rational design of more efficient catalytic systems.
