Achievement motivation has been identified as a relevant criterion to assess athletic talent. In the context of talent selection decisions, popular use self-report questionnaires presented higher risks social desirability. Consequently, shift towards more robust methods such assessment achievement-motivated behavior with coach-rating scale in individual sports was suggested. 1 The purpose this ...

Despite researchers’ efforts to develop models for successful aging, there is still no academic consensus on the definition of the term [3,4]. There are three main explanatory models on successful old age: the Rowe and Kahn model [5] The Socio-Emotional Selectivity1 and the Corrective and Preventive Proactivity [6]. We also highlight researches focused on the subjective perception of the elderl...

Electronic Institutions are regulated environments populated by autonomous software agents that perform tasks on behalf of users. 3D Electronic Institutions extend EI with 3D Virtual Worlds, which provide an inmersive user interface so that humans can observe their agents’ behaviors. In this manner, they represent a virtual analogy to real institutions. We propose to gain on realism on this ana...

An important trend for the future of health technology will be the increasing use of intelligent agent software for medical applications. As the complexity of situations faced by both patients and health care providers grows, conventional interfaces that rely on users to manually transfer data and manually perform each problem-solving step, won't be able to keep up. This article describes how s...

In this paper we will discuss how some features of the new logic programming language DALI for agents and multi-agent systems are suitable to programming agents equipped with planning capabilities. We will discuss the design and implementation of an agent capable to perform STRIPS-like planning, and we will propose a significant example. In particular, a DALI agent, which is capable of complex ...

This 3-wave longitudinal study aimed to extend current understanding of the predictors and outcomes of employee proactivity (involving information seeking, feedback seeking, relationship building, and positive framing) in the socialization process. Two personality variables, extraversion and openness to experience, were associated with higher levels of proactive socialization behavior. Of the p...

The paper discusses explicit properties and the requirements that are to be verified, imposed upon software-intensive systems by their environment and by their users. Those systems are time-critical, may contain autonomous components, and may exhibit proactive behaviour. It is suggested that the analysis and verification of properties in software-intensive systems requires time-aware model of i...
