A cognition paradigm clash: Simon,situated cognition and the interpretation of bounded rationality

Simon’s notion of bounded rationality is deeply intertwined with his activity as a cognitive psychologist and founder of so-called cognitivism, a mainstream approach in cognitive psychology until the 1980s. Cognitivism, understood as ‘symbolic information processing,’ provided the first cognitive psychology foundation to bounded rationality. Has bounded rationality since then fully followed the development of cognitive psychology beyond symbolic information processing in the post-Simonian era? To answer this question, this paper focuses on Simon’s opposition during the 1990s to a new (paradigmatic) view of cognition called situated cognition, which has since put into question the entire view in cognitive psychology of humans as symbolic information processors. This paper then reads the cognitivism/situated cognition debate through the lens of current bounded rationality research in economics, in order (i) to inquire into whether it has tackled the issues in that controversy; (ii) to envisage possible new foundations for a cognitive psychology-based bounded rationality.     

农民对宅基地权利认知及影响因素研究*——以河北省新乐市为例

［目的］通过对河北省新乐市农民在宅基地权力认知及影响因素方面的分析,探究我国农村宅基地制度并提出相关建议。［方法］文章受制度功能可信度理论启发,以河北省新乐市14个行政村为调研对象,探究农民对宅基地相关权利认知情况,同时采用Spearman相关性分析研究影响农民宅基地认知的因素。［结果］调研地自发宅基地流转市场已形成,宅基地制度功能处于社会保障功能向财产功能转变的过渡阶段; 农民对宅基地所有权认知不明晰,但并不影响宅基地市场建立; 在宅基地流转中,农民更关注相互之间信任、村委会保留的记录、流转中形成的“事实产权”; 农民性别、年龄、受教育水平和家庭人口数是影响权利认知的主要因素。［结论］依据制度功能可信度理论充分考虑宅基地制度在现阶段的功能变化,因地制宜; 政府应关注农民的宅基地使用权问题,使其真正成为农民的财产; 应对农村宅基地流转中形成的事实产权逐渐正式化; 应制定年轻人就业帮扶和年长者社会保障等相关政策,避免宅基地流转影响农村社会稳定性。     

农户的农地产权认知调查结果分析——以成都城乡统筹试验区为例

农民是农地产权制度最重要的参与人,其认知会影响到改革中制度效率的发挥。该文重点分析了成都市农地产权制度改革中农户的产权认知状况。研究表明,农户对农地产权的各项权能具有不同的认知,认知水平还有待提高;分析了农户产权认知中存在农地集体所有观念淡薄、承包经营权认知不清、产权知识获取渠道单一以及欲实现农地抵押权等问题;在此基础上,提出了提高农户产权认知能力的对策建议。     

环境规制对肉鸭养殖生态效率的影响研究——兼论绿色认知的中介作用

目的 生态效率是衡量经济和生态协同发展的重要指标,提高生态效率有助于实现产业的绿色发展。方法 文章基于我国9省份893份调研数据,运用超效率SBM-Tobit模型,在探讨了约束型、宣传型和激励型规制对肉鸭养殖生态效率影响的基础上,进一步分析绿色认知在环境规制影响肉鸭养殖生态效率过程中的中介效应以及3种类型环境规制的交互协同对肉鸭养殖生态效率的影响,并采用工具变量法处理环境规制、绿色认知的内生性问题。结果 约束型、宣传型和激励型规制对肉鸭养殖生态效率具有正向促进作用;绿色认知在环境规制对肉鸭养殖生态效率的影响中起部分中介作用;宣传型与约束型、激励型规制的交互协同对肉鸭养殖生态效率具有显著正向影响,而约束型与激励型规制的协同未产生显著影响。结论 政府应进一步完善环境规制体系,提升养殖户绿色认知水平,充分发挥环境规制的“组合拳”作用,以提高肉鸭养殖生态效率。     

Self-regulation and moral awareness among entrepreneurs

Moral awareness underpins moral reasoning and ethical decision making. This mixed methods study investigates a critical feature of these phenomena among entrepreneurs, namely the influence of social cognitive self-regulation on moral awareness. Results suggest that entrepreneurs with stronger self-regulatory characteristics are more morally aware and relate such awareness to maintaining personal integrity and building inter-personal trust. In contrast, entrepreneurs with weaker self-regulatory characteristics appear less morally aware overall, and focus primarily on moral issues relating to failure and loss. I conclude the paper by discussing the implications for future research and practice.

企业生命周期各阶段的TMT认知演化

TMT认知是TMT决策行为的重要来源,作为影响TMT绩效的关键因素之一,近年来引起了学者们的广泛关注。以往有关TMT认知的研究多数关注于TMT认知与决策绩效、企业绩效的作用机制,是一系列对TMT认知静态层面的研究。然而,企业在不同的生命周期阶段,为适应内外部环境的变化, TMT需要不断调整战略决策,在此过程中, TMT认知也具有动态演化的过程。文章通过回顾TMT认知、企业生命周期理论及TMT生命周期的相关文献,突破了在TMT生命周期内研究TMT认知的局限,把TMT认知与企业生命周期的变化有机结合,构建了企业生命周期各阶段的TMT认知演化模型,探索TMT认知如何随着企业生命周期的变化而发生演变。该模型从理论角度客观地反映了TMT认知在企业生命周期各阶段的演化进程,为企业判断是否需要调整TMT认知以适应企业发展需要提供了参考,同时也为更好地解释TMT认知与TMT绩效、企业绩效的关系提供了新的思路。     

对大学文化的理性认知与现实建构——大众文化批判的视角

大众文化和理性主义之间不是对立物,在大众文化悖兴的背景下,发挥大学新功能已成为新思路。应从理论与实践的统一上认识大众文化和理性主义的关系,坚持理性逻辑,树立理想主义精神,发挥马克思主义在大学文化建设的导向作用,坚持大学的功能和发展方向,在传承文化精华的基础上实现批判超越,并以理性逻辑建构大学文化。     

The Relationships Amongst Emotional Experience,Cognition, and Behavioural Intention in Battlefield Tourism

The objective of this study was to identify the hypothesized relationships amongst emotional experience, cognition, and behavioural intention in battlefield tourism. A face-to-face questionnaire survey was administered and 655 valid questionnaires were collected at heritage site related to the Sino-French War in Keelung, Taiwan. The results revealed significant positive relationships between emotional experience and cognition as well as between cognition and behavioural intention. Structural equation modelling verified that cognition fully mediated the effects of emotional experience on behavioural intention. Moreover, this study suggests that cognition may be an accurate predictor of behavioural intention, particularly in regard to battlefield tourism.
