Contour lines totally fix the structure of leftcontinuous t-norms. For each t-norm, these contour lines are determined by the corresponding residual implicator. Most properties involving residual implicators can now easily be translated into properties involving contour lines. As the portation law expresses associativity, we dispose of a powerful tool for constructing left-continuous t-norms. I...

Introduction: The basis of Social Norms Theory is that behavior is infl uenced by the perception of peer behavior. This implies that an overestimation (misperception) of substance use by peers would lead to an increase in personal substance use. It is hypothesized that the misperception of substance use by peers is negatively associated with health and academic performance, and that this associ...

The results of a web-based survey elicited responses to a series of value statements and were analysed using the weighted average method and through crosstabulation. Results indicate strong support for communism as an ac...
