INTRODUCTION Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has been a topic of interest in sexual health research for decades, yet literature on the sexual health correlates of CSA has been hindered by methodologic inconsistencies that have resulted in discrepant samples and mixed results. AIM To review the major methodologic inconsistencies in the field, explore the scientific and clinical impact of these in...

It is a widely assumed principle that organisms reflexively approach possibilities for pleasure and avoid possibilities for pain. However, highly evolved organisms not only reflexively react to future possibilities of pleasure vs. pain, but also evaluate the chance or risk of actually experiencing such possibilities. Given the import of optimism judgments in shaping behavior and other outcomes,...

The paper introduces an agent architecture centered around the notions of commitment, expectation, affordance, and susceptibility. These components are to a certain measure at the base of any agent system, however, inspired by research in explanation-based decision making, this contribution attempts to make explicit and start organizing under the same operationalization neglected figures as neg...

Information Technology (IT) has been widely employed in supply chain operations, helping companies to respond to clients’ needs in real time, facilitate paperless transactions, reach out to difficult-toaccess markets, and outperform competitors. This paper presents a theory-driven, validated higherorder construct that measures e-supply chain capability, integrating typical procurement and order...

This essay addresses two questions: "How does sustained strategic alignment create value and provide competitive advantage for a firm?" and "How can strategic alignment that is sustained over time be conceptualized and quantified?" We build on the Dynamic Capabilities Framework and suggest that an organization’s ability to achieve a high degree of strategic alignment is an enduring competency...

Consideration sets provide a standard tool for the exploration of consumer choice. It is appropriate to analyze it as a fuzzy set because not all the brands of a certain category of products or services that belong to it are considered of the same importance. In this work we propose an alternative operationalization of the aggregate fuzzy consideration set. It is based on a new approach for lin...

The research interests of information systems (IS) researchers often lead to a tension between theory development on the one hand and practical application, such as the implementation of computer applications or business processes, on the other. This tension is, for example, made manifest in the various action research approaches typically used in IS research. This paper presents an approach to...
