Psychiatric rehabilitation is a framework for providing services to people with mental illness that encourages adaptive community functioning in all life domains. Despite its well-established inclusion in community mental health treatment programs, psychiatric rehabilitation has received little attention in the discipline-specific social work literature. The philosophical base of psychiatric re...

the sudden transfer of guardianship, from husband to wife, causing a string of insecurity and additional duties for women. the phenomenon of woman-headed households is increasing for different reasons in the world. studies indicate that, householder women are facing social and economic challenges and constraints. the aim of this study is pathology of social interactions women-headed households ...

•Accessibility by non-experts: researchers in the social sciences should be able to use the system to share and explore data with no involvement from experts in data privacy, computer science, or statistics. •Generality: the system should be applicable and effective on a wide variety of heterogeneous datasets hosted in a repository such as the Harvard Dataverse. •Workflow-compatibility: the sys...

We characterize dominant-strategy incentive compatibility with multi-dimensional types. A deterministic social choice function is dominant-strategy incentive compatible if and only if it is weakly monotone (W-Mon). W-Mon is the following requirement: if changing one agent’s type (while keeping the types of other agents fixed) changes the outcome under the social choice function, then the result...

This article surveys the experimental economics approach to the study of religion. The field has a place in the context of the scientific study of religion generally and the social psychology of religion in particular, but employs distinct economic methods which promise new and different insights. In particular, certain features of the experimental approach as used by economists such as incenti...

We study strategic voting after weakening the notion of strategy-proofness to Ordinal Bayesian Incentive Compatibility (OBIC). Under OBIC, truthtelling is required to maximize the expected utility of every voter, expected utility being computed with respect to the voter’s prior beliefs and under the assumption that everybody else is also telling the truth. We show that for a special type of pri...

The curse of the Revelation Principle is that it leads us to focus on unrealistic mechanisms in which agents report all private information to the principal, who then makes all decisions centrally. This is not true when communication costs are introduced. Then partial communication of information, sequential back-and-forth conversations, and decentralization of decisions become part of optimal ...

Experimental studies of the WTP-WTA gap avoid social trading by implementing an incentive compatible mechanism for each individual trader. We compare a traditional random price mechanism and a novel elicitation mechanism preserving social trading, without sacrificing mutual incentive compatibility. Furthermore, we focus on risky goods— binary monetary lotteries—for which asymmetries in evaluati...
