Trust and Rationality
Combining economic, social-psychological and sociological approaches to trust, this book provides a general theoretical framework to causally explain conditional and unconditional trust; it also presents an experimental test of the corresponding integrative model and its predictions. Broadly, it aims at advancing a cognitive turn in trust research by highlighting the importance of (1) an actor ́s context-dependent definition of the situation and (2) the flexible and dynamic degree of rationality involved. In essence, trust is as “multi-faceted” as there are cognitive routes that take us to the choice of a trusting act. Therefore, variable rationality has to be incorporated as an orthogonal dimension to the typological space of trust. The theory presents an analytically tractable model; the empirical test combines trust games, high- and low-incentive conditions, framing manipulations, and psychometric measurements, and is complemented by decision-time analyses.
Film, Music, Memory
Film has shaped modern society in part by changing its cultures of memory. Film, Music, Memory reveals that this change has rested in no small measure on the mnemonic powers of music. As films were consumed by growing American and European audiences, their soundtracks became an integral part of individual and collective memory. Berthold Hoeckner analyzes three critical processes through which music influenced this new culture of memory: storage, retrieval, and affect. Films store memory through an archive of cinematic scores. In turn, a few bars from a soundtrack instantly recall the image that accompanied them, and along with it, the affective experience of the movie. Hoeckner examines films that reflect directly on memory, whether by featuring an amnesic character, a traumatic event, or a surge of nostalgia. As the history of cinema unfolded, movies even began to recall their own history through quotations, remakes, and stories about how cinema contributed to the soundtrack of people’s lives. Ultimately, Film, Music, Memory demonstrates that music has transformed not only what we remember about the cinematic experience, but also how we relate to memory itself.
Trust in the Catholic Reformation
Thérèse Peeters shows how trust and distrust affected reform attempts in the post-Tridentine Church, while offering a multifaceted account of day-to-day religiosity in seventeenth-century Genoa.
Jahrbuch für Handlungs- und Entscheidungstheorie
Handlungs- und Entscheidungstheorien gelten als erfolgversprechende Ansätze zur Erklärung sozialen und politischen Handelns. Handeln wird dabei als das Ergebnis eines Prozesses gesehen, bei dem Akteure aus verschiedenen verfügbaren Handlungsalternativen diejenige auswählen, die bei gegebenen Rahmenbedingungen und erwarteten Handlungen anderer Akteure ihre Ziele am besten zu verwirklichen verspricht. Band 11 des Jahrbuchs vereint innovative Beiträge zur Handlungs- und Entscheidungstheorie, die sich mit der gesamten Breite des Feldes befassen. Die Themen reichen von Arbeiten, die sich mit räumlichen Modellen der Politik befassen und die Muster von Wahlverhalten und Parteienwettbewerb sowie legislatives Verhalten analysieren, bis hin zu Beiträgen, die sich auf experimentelle Methoden konzentrieren und sie auf Fragen von Fairness und Gerechtigkeit in Verhandlungen auf der einen sowie auf die Untersuchung von Risikoverhalten von Männern und Frauen auf der anderen Seite anwenden.
Vertrauen in Mergers & Acquisitions-Prozessen
Unternehmenskäufe und -fusionen gehen stets mit einem hohen Risiko des Scheiterns einher. Die hohe Misserfolgsquote von M&A-Projekten zeigt, dass es trotz intensiver Forschung und jahrzehntelanger Praxiserfahrung nicht gelungen ist, einige der wesentlichen Faktoren zu identifizieren, die maßgeblich zum Erfolg oder Misserfolg solcher Projekte beitragen. Das vorliegende Buch stellt einen Einflussfaktor ins Zentrum des Interesses, der bislang weitgehend unbeachtet geblieben ist: Die sozialen Beziehungen zwischen den an einem M&A-Projekt beteiligten oder von ihm betroffenen Akteuren. Anhand eines idealtypisch abgeleiteten Modellprojekts wird aufgezeigt, dass M&A-Projekte als komplexe Interakti...
