Idiosyncratic deals has become a more and popular human resource management practice, which is particularly important to stimulate employees' creativity. This paper shows that the idiosyncratic positive impact on creativity, perceived insider status mediates relationship between creativity; Psychological safety positively moderates status, further mediating role of status. Therefore, this study...

This paper proposes a unifying framework to integrate two of economic sociology’s theory fragments on categorization: typecasting and entry-driven legitimation. Typecasting is a producer-level argument that considers the consequences for producers of earlier affiliation with one category on the chances of success in another. Entry-driven legitimation considers how the attributes of producers en...

Several theories have been proposed regarding how causal relations among features of objects affect how those objects are classified. The assumptions of these theories were tested in three experiments which manipulated the causal knowledge associated with novel categories. There were three results. The first was a multiple cause effect in which a feature’s importance increases with its number o...

Shanks (1991) reported experiments that show selective-learning effects in a categorization task, and presented simulations of his data using a connectionist network model implementing the Rescorla-Wagner (R-W) theory of animal conditioning. He concluded that his results (a) support the application of the R-W theory to account for human categorization, and (b) contradict a particular variant of...

A unified quantitative approach to modeling subjects' identification and categorization of multidimensional perceptual stimuli is proposed and tested. Two subjects identified and categorized the same set of perceptually confusable stimuli varying on separable dimensions. The identification data were modeled using Shepard's (1957) multidimensional scaling-choice framework. This framework was the...

We outline a theory of tonality that predicts tonal stability, attraction, and categorization based on the principles of nonlinear resonance. Perception of tonality is the natural consequence of neural resonance, arising from central auditory nonlinearities.

Identity leadership theorizing suggests that effectiveness derives from a potential leader’s perceived ability to create, embody, promote, and embed shared group identity. However, little is known about how people integrate this information form judgment of leader. We use cognitive modeling operationalize judgments as exemplar-and prototype-based categorization processes. Analysis attribute rat...

We studied the experience of loneliness as communicated by thousands of people on Twitter. Using a data set of public Twitter posts containing explicit expressions of loneliness, we qualitatively developed a categorization scheme for these expressions, showing how the context of loneliness expressed on Twitter relates to existing theories about loneliness. A quantitative analysis of the data ex...
