After briefly outlining theoretical models, this clear and concise book presents an integrative, up-to-date treatment protocol for GAD. Suitable both for practitioners and for students, it guides readers through assessment and differential diagnosis, etiological models such as cognitive avoidance, positive beliefs about worry, and intolerance of uncertainty, and treatment techniques. The therap...

This article presents a novel gaze control strategy for obstacle avoidance in the context of vision guided humanoid walking. The generic strategy is based on the maximization of the predicted visual information. For information/uncertainty management a new hybrid formulation of an Extended Kalman Filter is employed. The performance resulting from this view direction control scheme shows the dep...

This study attempts to examine empirically how social institutional factors relate to Internet diffusion in 39 countries. Based on nine-year cross-country data, the analytical results show that the rule of law, educational systems, and industrialization significantly influenced the global Internet diffusion, while the economic system did not exert significant impact. Uncertainty avoidance as a ...

A generalized climate of distrust in political institutions is not functional to healthy democracies. With the advent social media, recent scholarly efforts attempt better understand people's conspiracy theory beliefs inhibiting institutional trust. This study contributes this literature by considering direct antecedent effects uncertainty avoidance and moderating role active media use—SMU (i.e...

In a multidimensional environment, parties may have compelling incentives to obscure their preferences on select issues. This study contributes growing literature position blurring by demonstrating how party leaders purposively create uncertainty about where stands the issue of European integration. By doing so, it theoretically and empirically disentangles cause blurring—parties’ strategic beh...

Complex problems have often been described along certain dimensions, e.g. complexity, transparency, and dynamics. However, problem descriptions of the researcher and problem-characteristics perceived by the participant might differ. This study investigates subjective task complexity and its relationship to complex problem solving performance. Research questions are: Do problem perceptions diffe...

In view of a dynamic obstacle environment with motion uncertainty, we present a dynamic collision avoidance method based on the collision risk assessment and improved velocity obstacle method. First, through the fusion optimization of forward-looking sonar data, the redundancy of the data is reduced and the position, size and velocity information of the obstacles are obtained, which can provide...
