description: We present a comprehensive language theoretic causality analysis framework for explaining safety property violations in the setting of concurrent reactive systems. Our framework allows us to uniformly express a number of causality notions studied in the areas of artificial intelligence and formal methods, as well as define new ones that are of potential interest in these areas. Furthermore, our formalization provides means for reasoning about the relationships between individual notions which have mostly been considered independently in prior work; and allows us to judge the appropriateness of the different definitions for various applications in system design. In particular, we consider causality analysis notions for debugging, error resilience, and liability resolution in concurrent reactive systems. Finally, we present automata-based algorithms for computing various causal sets based on our language-theoretic encoding, and derive the algorithmic complexities.

description: We have succeeded in obtaining exact configurations of irrotational binary systems for compressible (polytropic) equations of state. Our models correspond to binaries of equal mass neutron star systems in the viscosity free limit. By using the obtained sequences of stationary states, the evolution of binary systems of irrotational neutron stars due to gravitational wave emission has been examined. For inviscid binary systems the spin angular velocity of each component in a detached phase is smaller than the orbital angular velocity at a contact phase. Thus the irrotational approximation during evolution of binary neutron stars due to gravitational wave emission can be justified. Our computational results show that the binary will never reach a dynamically unstable state before a contact phase even for rather stiff polytropes with the index N > 0.7, as the separation of two components decreases due to gravitational wave emission. This conclusion is quantitatively different from that of Lai, Rasio & Shapiro who employed approximate solutions for polytropic binary systems.

Turn-Initial Minimal Responses in NES and NNES Student Writers’ Talk in Writing Center Conferences

description: Writing center tutors strive to facilitate participation from student writers, particularly student writers who are not native speakers of the conference language. This study investigated one way that tutors might better understand student writers’ intent to contribute a substantial turn at talk and thus better understand when they might make way for student writers’ active participation. This study examined four minimal responses (MRs)—mmhm, uhhuh, yeah, and ok—at the beginning of student writers’ turns at talk. It differentiated between MRs that were free standing, constituting the entire turn and suggesting passive recipiency, and MRs that were not free standing, suggesting speakership incipiency. Importantly, the study differentiated between the MRs of native English speakers (NESs) and non-native English speakers (NNES). NNESs used freestanding mmhm far more than NESs, suggesting that the NNESs may have extended the use of mmhm to a greater array of discourse contexts. NNESs used free-standing yeah far more frequently than they did non-free-standing yeah, suggesting that yeah would not have been a reliable signal for tutors that NNESs would extend their turns at talk. This study also found that both NESs and NNESs used ok to signal not only consideration of but also agreement with tutors’ evaluations or acceptance of tutors’ advice about lower-order concerns. Understanding how MRs vary from passive recipiency to speakership incipiency might help tutors better understand student writers’ intent to contribute a substantial turn and thus indicate when tutors might wait for student writers’ participation.

description: Non-Volatile Memory offers the possibility of implementing high-performance, durable data structures. However, achieving performance comparable to well-designed data structures in non-persistent (transient) memory is difficult, primarily because of the cost of ensuring the order in which memory writes reach NVM. Often, this requires flushing data to NVM and waiting a full memory round-trip time. In this paper, we introduce two new techniques: Fine-Grained Checkpointing, which ensures a consistent, quickly recoverable data structure in NVM after a system failure, and In-Cache-Line Logging, an undo-logging technique that enables recovery of earlier state without requiring cache-line flushes in the normal case. We implemented these techniques in the Masstree data structure, making it persistent and demonstrating the ease of applying them to a highly optimized system and their low (5.9-15.4\%) runtime overhead cost.

description: We present spherically symmetric solutions to Einstein's equations which are equivalent to canonical Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrom black holes on the exterior, but with singular (Planck-density) shells at their respective event and inner horizons. The locally measured mass of the shell and the singularity are much larger than the asymptotic ADM mass. The area of the shell is equal to that of the corresponding canonical black hole, but the physical distance from the shell to the singularity is a Planck length, suggesting a natural explanation for the scaling of the black hole entropy with area. The existence of such singular shells enables solutions to the black hole information problem of Schwarzschild black holes and the Cauchy horizon problem of Reissner-Nordstrom black holes. While we cannot rigorously address the formation of these solutions, we suggest plausibility arguments for how normal black hole solutions may evolve into such states. We also comment on the possibility of negative mass Schwarzschild solutions that could be constructed using our methods. Requirements for the non-existence of negative-mass solutions may put restrictions on the types of singularities allowed in an ultraviolet theory of gravity.

Using Hydrodynamic Simulations to Understand the Structure and Composition of the Circumgalactic Medium of Milky Way-sized Galaxies

description: We explore the structure and evolution of baryons within Milky Way-sized halos (M ~ 10¹² Msun) via hydrodynamic simulations. First, we employ a two-fluid model to study the dynamics of a relativistic, diffusive cosmic ray proton (CR) fluid interacting with the thermal interstellar medium (ISM). This model was implemented into the eulerian hydrodynamics code enzo, used throughout this dissertation. After testing this model on analytically tractable scenarios in one dimension, it is unleashed upon an idealized disk simulation in a rapidly-star forming setting, where we find evidence for robust, mass-loaded winds driven by the diffusive CR fluid. These winds reduce the galaxy’s star formation rate (SFR) and circulate on order as much mass into winds as into forming stars. We then extend this model to a cosmological setting where the diffuse CR fluid proves capable of redistributing star formation within the forming disk, reducing the overly-peaked rotation curves in non-CR runs and producing thin, extended disks with visible spiral structure. From these same runs, we then explore the effect of CRs on the circumgalactic medium (CGM) within the halo, comparing our results to observed metal column lines from L ~ L* galaxies and gamma-ray emission observed by Fermi LAT. From this body of work, we find the cosmic ray population of forming galaxies likely alters the system’s baryonic structure and dynamics in fundamental ways, and has a measurable impact on both the galaxy’s disk and CGM. Complimenting this work, we also explore the distribution of baryons in the CGM via simulations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) orbiting through our own MW halo. We perform a broad suite of “wind tunnel” simulations to constrain models for the MW CGM’s density profile. From this work, we find that the extent of HI gas along the LMC’s leading edge is a direct, localized probe of MW CGM gas density at r ~ 50 kpc from the Galactic Center. Assuming a β-profile for the diffuse gas density, we find the MW CGM may host ~ 10 − 25% of the Galaxy’s expected baryons.

description: We find ourselves surrounded by a rapidly increasing number of autonomous and semi-autonomous systems. Two grand challenges arise from this development: Machine Ethics and Machine Explainability. Machine Ethics, on the one hand, is concerned with behavioral constraints for systems, so that morally acceptable, restricted behavior results; Machine Explainability, on the other hand, enables systems to explain their actions and argue for their decisions, so that human users can understand and justifiably trust them. In this paper, we try to motivate and work towards a framework combining Machine Ethics and Machine Explainability. Starting from a toy example, we detect various desiderata of such a framework and argue why they should and how they could be incorporated in autonomous systems. Our main idea is to apply a framework of formal argumentation theory both, for decision-making under ethical constraints and for the task of generating useful explanations given only limited knowledge of the world. The result of our deliberations can be described as a first version of an ethically motivated, principle-governed framework combining Machine Ethics and Machine Explainability

description: The self-dual Chern-Simons solitons under the influence of the quantum potential are considered. The single-valuedness condition for an arbitrary integer number $N \ge 0$ of solitons leads to quantization of Chern-Simons coupling constant $κ= m {e^{2} \over g}$, and the integer strength of quantum potential $s = 1 - m^{2}$. As we show, the Jackiw-Pi model corresponds to the first member (m = 1) of our hierarchy of the Chern-Simons gauged nonlinear Schrödinger models, admitting self-dual solitons. New type of exponentially localized Chern-Simons solitons for the Bloch electrons near the hyperbolic energy band boundary are found.

Using Molecular Design to Influence Intermolecular Interactions
Creators: Schenck, Christine L.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Chemistry

description: This thesis describes the impact of molecular design on intermolecular interactions. Chapter 2 explores tuning the properties of contorted hexabenzocoronene (HBC) derivatives to improve photovoltaic performance. First, the interaction between contorted HBC derivatives with varying degrees of "bowl" character and fullerenes are explored in solution. Association constants were determined by fluorescence quenching experiments with fullerenes C70, C60, and Phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). NMR titration experiments mimic fluorescence quenching results that suggest that association in solution increases with shape-complementarity between donor and acceptor. Second, efforts towards the synthesis of azulene HBC, an HBC derivative with red-shifted absorption, are discussed. Calculations of this target molecule and a selected intermediate are compared to those of the parent contorted HBC. Finally, an azulene HBC synthetic intermediate is explored as a potential sensor. Chapter 3 presents a study of the single molecule conductance of cobalt chalcogenide clusters. The synthesis of cobalt chalcogenide clusters decorated with a variety of conjugated molecular connectors was developed. Single molecule conductance of these clusters was shown to take place through the molecular connectors, and was tunable by controlling the substitution of the connectors. The tunability of cluster conductance that was demonstrated in the single molecule experiments was shown to extend to thin film experiments in chapter 4.  Preliminary investigation into the mechanism of conductance of these films is discussed. In chapter 5, a family of nickel telluride clusters with a variety of ligands is synthesized. The X-ray crystal structures of these clusters are analyzed and insight into how ligand sterics and electronics influence the final cluster structure is discussed.

description: A connection between linearized Gauss-Bonnet gravity and classical electrodynamics is found by developing a procedure which can be used to derive completely gauge invariant models. The procedure involves building the most general Lagrangian for a particular order of derivatives ($N$) and rank of tensor potential ($M$), then solving such that the model is completely gauge invariant (the Lagrangian density, equation of motion and energy-momentum tensor are all gauge invariant). In the case of $N = 1$ order of derivatives and $M = 1$ rank of tensor potential, electrodynamics is uniquely derived from the procedure. In the case of $N = 2$ order of derivatives and $M = 2$ rank of symmetric tensor potential, linearized Gauss-Bonnet gravity is uniquely derived from the procedure. The natural outcome of the models for classical electrodynamics and linearized Gauss-Bonnet gravity from a common set of rules provides an interesting connection between two well explored physical models.

description: A UHF flow is an infinite tensor product type action of the reals on a UHF algebra $A$ and the flip automorphism is an automorphism of $A\otimes A$ sending $x\otimes y$ into $y\otimes x$. If $α$ is an inner perturbation of a UHF flow on $A$, there is a sequence $(u_n)$ of unitaries in $A\otimes A$ such that $α_t\otimes α_t(u_n)-u_n$ converges to zero and the flip is the limit of $\Ad u_n$. We consider here whether the converse holds or not and solve it with an additional assumption: If $A\otimes A\cong A$ and $α$ absorbs any UHF flow $β$ (i.e., $α\otimesβ$ is cocycle conjugate to $α$), then the converse holds; in this case $α$ is what we call a universal UHF flow.

description: In formal synthesis of reactive systems an implementation of a system is automatically constructed from its formal specification. The great advantage of synthesis is that the resulting implementation is correct by construction; therefore there is no need for manual programming and tedious debugging tasks. Developers remain, nevertheless, hesitant to using automatic synthesis tools and still favor manually writing code. A common argument against synthesis is that the resulting implementation does not always give a clear picture on what decisions were made during the synthesis process. The outcome of synthesis tools is mostly unreadable and hinders the developer from understanding the functionality of the resulting implementation. Many attempts have been made in the last years to make the synthesis process more transparent to users. Either by structuring the outcome of synthesis tools or by providing additional automated support to help users with the specification process. In this paper we discuss the challenges in writing specifications for reactive systems and give a survey on what tools have been developed to guide users in specifying reactive systems and understanding the outcome of synthesis tools.

description: Internet privacy lacks transparency, choice, quantifiability, and accountability, especially, as the deployment of machine learning technologies becomes mainstream. However, these technologies can be both privacy-invasive as well as privacy-protective. This dissertation advances the thesis that machine learning can be used for purposes of improving Internet privacy. Starting with a case study that shows how the potential of a social network to learn ethnicity and gender of its users from geotags can be estimated, various strands of machine learning technologies to further privacy are explored. While the quantification of privacy is the subject of well-known privacy metrics, such as k-anonymity or differential privacy, I discuss how some of those metrics can be leveraged in tandem with machine learning algorithms for purposes of quantifying the privacy-invasiveness of data collection practices. Further, I demonstrate how the current notice-and-choice paradigm can be realized by automatic machine learning privacy policy analysis. The implemented system notifies users efficiently and accurately on applicable data practices. Further, by analyzing software data flows users are enabled to compare actual to described data practices and regulators can enforce those at scale. The emerging cross-device tracking practices of ad networks, analytics companies, and others can be supplemented by machine learning technologies as well to notify users of privacy practices across devices and give them the choice they are entitled to by law. Ultimately, cross-device tracking is a harbinger of the emerging Internet of Things, for which I envision intelligent personal assistants that help users navigating through the increasing complexity of privacy notices and choices.

description: The gap between a microscopic theory for quantum spacetime and the semiclassical physics of blackholes is bridged by treating the blackhole spacetimes as highly excited states of a class of nonlocal field theories. All the blackhole thermodynamics is shown to arise from asymptotic form of the dispersion relation satisfied by the elementary excitations of these field theories. These models involve, quite generically, fields which are: (i) smeared over regions of the order of Planck length and (ii) possess correlation functions which have universal short distance behaviour.

description: The equation of state (EOS) of materials at warm dense conditions poses significant challenges to both theory and experiment. We report a combined computational, modeling, and experimental investigation leveraging new theoretical and experimental capabilities to investigate warm-dense boron nitride (BN). The simulation methodologies include path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC), several density functional theory (DFT) molecular dynamics methods [plane-wave pseudopotential, Fermi operator expansion (FOE), and spectral quadrature (SQ)], activity expansion (ACTEX), and all-electron Green's function Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (MECCA), and compute the pressure and internal energy of BN over a broad range of densities ($ρ$) and temperatures ($T$). Our experiments were conducted at the Omega laser facility and measured the Hugoniot of BN to unprecedented pressures (12--30 Mbar). The EOSs computed using different methods cross validate one another, and the experimental Hugoniot are in good agreement with our theoretical predictions. We assess that the largest discrepancies between theoretical predictions are $

“A Movable Object”: Props and Possibility in Writing Consultations
Creators: name: Tracy, Olivia
Publisher: name: The University of Texas at Austin
Year: 2021
Subjects: props

description: While writing center scholarship has occasionally engaged the role of objects in the writing center, generally through conversations about play, consultant education models remain, with a few important exceptions, heavily focused on the verbal interactions between writer and consultant. This article argues that the relationships between materials and bodies in writing centers are essential to writing center practice, and that consultant/tutor education can help writing centers more intentionally engage these practices. The article introduces a study and consultant education framework that reframes consultant orientations by considering objects as “props,” as things consultants and writers intra-act with to create multimodal possibility and access in consultations. Situated in conversation with conversations surrounding play, embodiment, access, and space in the writing center, this article outlines the findings from this study and education framework and analyzes those findings in conversation with Sarah Ahmed’s Queer Phenomenology and Karen Barad’s Meeting the Universe Halfway. This analysis explores the intraactions and reorientations that emerge when consultants work with props and writers and considers how props education and practices have shaped, and might continue to shape, the writing center. Presenting props as integral elements of consultation phenomena that help determine what is and is not possible for us to measure or do in a consultation space, this study suggests consultants can coconstruct differently embodied and multimodal approaches, creating opportunities for access and encouraging new orientations, turnings, and possibilities.

 REMARKS: † Mayulestes ferox was described by Muizon (1994; 1998) as the earliest and most plesiomorphic known member of the order † Sparassodonta (= “Borhyaenoidea” in Muizon’s [1994, 1998] usage), an exclusively South American clade of carnivorously adapted forms that survived until the Pliocene (Argot, 2004; Prevosti and Forasiepi, 2018). A number of phylogenetic analyses have failed to recover † Mayulestes within † Sparassodonta (Rougier et al., 1998, 2004, 2015; Forasiepi, 2009; Engelman and Croft, 2014; Forasiepi et al., 2014a; Suarez et al., 2015; Ni et al., 2016; Wilson et al., 2016; Engelman et al., 2020). However, Muizon et al. (2018) argued strongly in favor of † Mayulestes as a plesiomorphic sparassodont, which they placed together with † Allqokirus (see below) and † Patene in the family † Mayulestidae. We follow Muizon et al. (2018) in considering † Mayulestes to be a member of † Sparassodonta, within the superorder †Pucadelphyda (see † Pucadelphys above).
 Like † Pucadelphys (see above), † Mayulestes has been consistently recovered inside Marsupialiformes sensu Beck (2017a; see also Vullo et al., 2009) but outside Marsupialia in published phylogenetic analyses, regardless of whether it has been placed within † Sparassodonta or not (Rougier et al., 1998, 2004, 2015; Luo et al., 2003, 2011; Asher et al., 2004; Ladevèze and Muizon, 2007; Sánchez-Villagra et al., 2007; Beck et al., 2008, 2014; Horovitz et al., 2008, 2009; Forasiepi, 2009; Ladevèze and Muizon, 2010; Luo et al., 2011; Beck, 2012, 2017b; Williamson et al., 2012, 2014; Engelman and Croft, 2014; Forasiepi et al., 2014a; Suarez et al., 2015; Lorente et al., 2016; Ni et al., 2016; Wilson et al., 2016; Carneiro and Oliveira, 2017a, 2017b; Maga and Beck, 2017; Bi et al., 2018; Carneiro et al., 2018; Muizon et al., 2018; Abello and Candela, 2019; Carneiro, 2019; Rangel et al., 2019; Engelman et al., 2020; Ladevèze et al., 2020; Muizon and Ladevèze, 2020; Zimicz and Goin, 2020). This, together with the excellent preservation of the holotype and only known specimen— MNHC 1249, which comprises a nearly complete cranium and associated left and right mandibles (Muizon, 1994, 1998)—renders it a suitable outgroup taxon for our study.

description: Graph rewrite formalisms are a powerful approach to modeling complex molecular systems. They capture the intrinsic concurrency of molecular interactions, thereby enabling a formal notion of mechanism (a partially ordered set of events) that explains how a system achieves a particular outcome given a set of rewrite rules. It is then useful to verify whether the mechanisms that emerge from a given model comply with empirical observations about their mutual interference. In this work, our objective is to determine whether a specific event in the mechanism for achieving X prevents or promotes the occurrence of a specific event in the mechanism for achieving Y. Such checks might also be used to hypothesize rules that would bring model mechanisms in compliance with observations. We define a rigorous framework for defining the concept of interference (positive or negative) between mechanisms induced by a system of graph-rewrite rules and for establishing whether an asserted influence can be realized given two mechanisms as an input.

description: Searching for marked items from an unsorted database is an important scientific problem and a benchmark for computing devices as well. Using a 7-qubit liquid NMR quantum computer, we have demonstrated successfully an hybrid quantum fetching algorithm that finds marked items using only a single query. The essential idea is the operation of quantum computers in parallel. We gave the detailed pulse sequence for coherent control of the 7 qubits. The pulse sequence demonstrated here is not only useful for ensemble quantum computation, but also can be regarded as a general purpose control-gate which is useful for experimental design of quantum algorithms and general quantum information processing task in other quantum computer schemes. A generalization of the algorithm that is scalable to arbitrary qubit number is also provided.

Using Real-World Data to Enhance Clinical Trials

Clinical trials

description: Clinical trials are generally considered the foremost authority for generating robust medical evidence because of their methodological strengths relative to other clinical research designs. However, they are susceptible to substantial challenges, such as enrollment barriers, low participation rates, high operational costs, and limited results generalizability, to name a few. A promising resource to address these challenges is real-world data (RWD), generally defined as routinely collected data during the delivery of healthcare. Database-specific RWD – such as electronic health records (EHRs), administrative claims, and clinical registries – is of particular interest for their richness and volume. However, coordination between the primary data collection actions of clinical trials with the secondary collection nature of RWD, while also accounting for data fitness-for-use considerations, persists as a prominent challenge. This dissertation aims to advance the sciences of using RWD to enhance clinical trials, specifically from two perspectives: (1) a trial design perspective; and (2) a results interpretation perspective. It first reviews relevant literature about RWD uses for clinical trial conduct. It then seeks to address two research questions focused on using RWD to improve clinical trials, with particular emphasis on clinical trials that evaluate medications: (1) how do eligibility criteria, both individually and in combination, affect patient safety and recruitment pool size; and (2) how representative of real-world patients are enrolled trial participants. The utility of RWD in investigating these questions is tested using two aims. Aim 1 examines the impact on hospitalization risk and eligible patient pool size of different eligibility criteria combinations across a variety of disease domains. Aim 2 clinically characterizes trial participants for generalizability assessments. The primary innovations of this dissertation include (1) supplementing a RWD source with trial enrollment data, thus creating a novel combination for enriched evaluations; and (2) developing innovative approaches, both across sets of clinical trials and within individual trials, for generalizability assessments. Ultimately, the findings of this dissertation demonstrate how clinical trial design, and the interpretation of their results, can be enhanced through the use of RWD in order to strengthen clinical research pursuits in study design and results interpretation.

description: Background: Discrepancies exist between the observed abundances of argon and calcium in oxygen-neon nova ejecta and those predicted by nova models. An improved characterization of the $^{38}$K($p, γ$)$^{39}$Ca reaction rate over the nova temperature regime ($\sim$ 0.1 -- 0.4 GK), and thus the nuclear structure of $^{39}$Ca above the proton threshold (5770.92(63) keV), is necessary to resolve these contradictions. Purpose: The present study was performed to search for low-spin proton resonances in the $^{38}$K $+$ $p$ system, and to improve the uncertainties in energies of the known astrophysically significant proton resonances in $^{39}$Ca. Method: The level structure of $^{39}$Ca was investigated via high-resolution charged-particle spectroscopy with an Enge split-pole spectrograph using the $^{40}$Ca($^{3}$He, $α$)$^{39}$Ca reaction. Differential cross sections were measured over 6 laboratory angles at 21 MeV. Distorted-wave Born approximation calculations were performed to constrain the spin-parity assignments of observed levels with special attention to those significant in determination of the $^{38}$K($p, γ$)$^{39}$Ca reaction rate over the nova temperature regime. Results: The resonance energies corresponding to two out of three astrophysically important states at 6154(5) and 6472.2(24) keV are measured with better precision than previous charged-particle spectroscopy measurements. A tentatively new state is discovered at 5908(3) keV. The spin-parity assignments of a few of the astrophysically important resonances are determined. Conclusions: The present $^{38}$K($p, γ$)$^{39}$Ca upper limit thermonuclear reaction rate at 0.1 -- 0.4 GK is higher than that determined in [Physical Review C 97 (2018) 025802] by at most a factor of 1.4 at 0.1 GK.

description: † Allqokirus
 SPECIES SCORED: † Allqokirus australis (type and only described species).
GEOLOGICAL PROVENANCE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Tiupampa, Santa Lucía Formation, Bolivia.
 AGE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Early or middle Paleocene (see † Pucadelphys above).
ASSIGNED AGE RANGE: 65.118 –59.200 Mya.
 REMARKS: † Allqokirus australis is another metatherian from Tiupampa that is known from relatively complete cranial material, specifically specimen MNHC 8267, a well-preserved but partially disarticulated cranium and associated left and right mandibles of a subadult individual (P3/p3 and M4/m4 are not fully erupted; Muizon et al., 2018). Part of MNHC 8267 was illustrated by Cifelli and Muizon (1998a: fig. 2G, H), who identified it as † Mayulestes ferox, but subsequently the entire specimen was described in detail as † Allqokirus australis by Muizon et al. (2018). Based on its known morphology, † Allqokirus appears to be an early member of † Sparassodonta (Muizon et al., 2018). We follow Muizon et al. (2018) in placing it in the sparassodont family † Mayulestidae. As discussed (see † Mayulestes, above), † Sparassodonta has been consistently recovered outside Marsupialia in published phylogenetic analyses.

Using Non-Fit Messages to De-Intensify Reactions to Threatening Advice

description: Sometimes experts need to provide potentially upsetting advice. For example, physicians may recommend hospice for a terminally ill patient because it best meets their needs, but the patient and their family dislike this advised option. The present research examines whether regulatory non-fit could be used to improve these types of situations. The findings from eight studies in which participants imagined receiving upsetting advice from a physician demonstrate that regulatory non-fit between the form of the physician’s advice (emphasizing gains vs. avoiding losses) and the participants’ motivational orientation (promotion vs. prevention) improves participants’ evaluation of an initially disliked option. Regulatory non-fit de-intensifies participants’ initial attitudes by making them less confident in their initial judgments and motivating them to think more thoroughly about the arguments presented. Furthermore, consistent with previous research on regulatory fit, the studies show that the mechanism of regulatory non-fit differs as a function of participants’ involvement in the evaluation of the option.
