Schemas

11.6K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

26
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.2K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

22.3K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Pre-Procedural Guidelines for Assessing Blood Pressure01:10

Pre-Procedural Guidelines for Assessing Blood Pressure

559
Accurate blood pressure assessment is crucial for diagnosing and managing various health conditions. To ensure the reliability of these measurements, healthcare professionals must adhere to standardized pre-procedural guidelines. These guidelines enhance patient safety and improve the overall quality of healthcare. The following steps are essential for obtaining accurate and consistent blood pressure readings, from using the appropriate tools to ensuring effective communication with the...

Area of Science:

  • Ethics
  • Public Policy
  • Autonomous Systems

Background:

  • Autonomous vehicles (AVs) present complex ethical and policy challenges.
  • Higher-level AVs introduce significant scientific and moral uncertainties.
  • Traditional risk management strategies are inadequate for AVs due to unpredictable outcomes and value disagreements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for the precautionary principle in AV ethics and policy.
  • To address the limitations of current risk assessment methods for AVs.
  • To propose a balanced approach to AV development and deployment.

Main Methods:

  • Philosophical defense of the precautionary principle.
  • Analysis of scientific and moral uncertainties surrounding AVs.
  • Critique of traditional risk management frameworks in the context of AVs.

Main Results:

  • The precautionary principle is a suitable framework for navigating AV uncertainties.
  • Current risk management strategies fail to adequately address AVs' unique challenges.
  • A balanced approach is needed to harness AV benefits while mitigating risks.

Conclusions:

  • Adopting the precautionary principle is crucial for responsible AV policy.
  • Reasonable precautions can manage serious AV risks without hindering societal benefits.
  • Further research into AV ethics and policy is warranted.
