We examined how listeners characterized by empathy and a non-judgmental approach affect speakers' attitude structure. We hypothesized that high quality listening decreases speakers' social anxiety, which in turn reduces defensive processing. This reduction in defensive processing was hypothesized to result in an awareness of contradictions (increased objective-attitude ambivalence), and decreas...

Mixed results of attitude as a determinant of information system (IS) adoption suggest that there is more to an attitude's impact than evaluating the IS or its usage as favorable or unfavorable. This paper goes beyond the favorable-unfavorable valence of attitude by introducing the concept of attitude strength, which explains whether an attitude is strong, that is impactful and durable. First, ...

Attitude determination, along with attitude control, is critical to functioning of every space mission. In this paper, we investigate and compare, through simulation, the application of two autonomous sequential attitude estimation algorithms, adopted from the literature, for attitude determination using attitude sensors (sun sensor and horizon sensors) and rate-integrating gyros. The two algor...

Attitude Determination System (ADS) is a process to determine the attitude of a satellite by using on board sensors and attitude estimation algorithms to determine the orientation of the satellite which is relative to inertial reference frame such as Earth reference frame. The ADS is consists of an attitude sensor which provides the attitude and orbital position of the satellite to the Attitude...

Implicit in many informal and formal principles of psychological change is the understudied assumption that change requires either an active approach or an inactive approach. This issue was systematically investigated by comparing the effects of general action goals and general inaction goals on attitude change. As prior attitudes facilitate preparation for an upcoming persuasive message, gener...

Attitude determination, along with attitude control, is critical to functioning of every space mission. Here, we investigate the application of a steady-state Kalman Filter for attitude determination using attitude sensors (sun sensor and horizon sensors) and rate integrating gyros. The three-axis steady-state Kalman Filter formulation, adopted from literature, offers obvious computational adva...

Despite the importance of attitude in predicting an individual’s behavior, research on IT adoption has discounted the role of attitude in explaining technology acceptance behavior. Additionally, the attitude construct has often been omitted in research on IT acceptance. In this study, we call attention to the role of attitude in explaining technology acceptance behavior. In developing our resea...

Attitude has been understudied in the information systems (IS) field. Research interest in attitude has gone through ups and downs due to the lack of predictability of attitude for behavioral intention on using ICT. In this paper, we first clarify both conceptual and operational confusions on attitudes that may have caused the inconsistent and inconclusive results. Two different types of attitu...

The Ørsted satellite mission imposes comparatively high requirements on autonomy of the attitude control system. Cost requirements, on the other hand, impose simple hardware and cheap actuators in form of magnetorquer coils. These conflicting requirements are fulfilled through development of novel attitude and control algorithms and wide on-board autonomy. The entire control and attitude determ...
