Seligman and his associates have advocated a particular attributional style in depressive patients. The present study aimsat investigating attributional styles in depressive patients, in comparison to schiziphrcnic and non psychiatric medical patients.

Channel Theory is a mathematical theory of information flow proposed by Barwise and Seligman in 1990’s. In this paper, we shall discuss about basic concepts in Channel Theory from the viewpoint of learning and interfaces between agents and objective worlds, and about relations between Channel Theory and Valiant’s notion of scenes in Robust Logic and Khardon and Roth’s formulation of Learn to Re...

In this paper, we propose a lightweight yet powerful dynamic epistemic logic that captures not only the distinction between de dicto and re knowledge but also updates. The is based on dynamified version of an language extended with assignment operator borrowed from logic, following work Wang Seligman (Proc. AiML 2018). We obtain complete axiomatizations for counterparts public announcement even...

One of the main tasks in granular computing is to develop calculi of information granules (Zadeh 1997, Skowron and Stepaniuk 2001). Information systems used in rough set theory are particular kinds of information granules. In the paper, we introduce and study operations on such information granules basic for reasoning in distributed systems of information granules. The operations are called con...

In 1998, when Dr Martin Seligman was president of the American Psychological Association, he proposed a new approach to psychology. The thinking at that time led to a disease-based model in which the focus was on treating mental illness. Dr Seligman advocated, however, that the science should be expanded to include factors that contribute to optimal functioning and greater well-being. He, along...

This study examined the role that attributional style played in the academic achievement and school performance of a sample of 150 black primary school learners in grades 5 and 6 in an inner city school in the Johannesburg area. The Children’s Attributional Style Questionnaire (CASQ, 1984) was administered to determine the attributional styles. The questionnaire was comprised of 10 subscales an...

Efforts to produce intracranial neoplasia by various chemical carcinogens have been attended with scant success prior to the work of Seligman and Shear (2). By intracerebral implantation of pellets of 2o-methylcholanthrene, these workers produced i i gliomas and 2 fibrosarcomas in a series of 2o male mice of the C3H strain. Seligman and Shear reported also successful subcutaneous transplantatio...
