We explore two possibilities: either synthesized knowledge removes original information from memory, or both integrated and insulated information are stored once the information becomes part of knowledge. To address these questions, we simulate problem-solving processes over time. The simulation reveals how, once information is integrated into knowledge, it is removed as an insulated piece of information in the long-run memory. The process also shows a dynamic interplay between the creation and fragmentation of knowledge induced by synthetic and analytical skills. Furthermore, we examine whether the analytical-synthetic (A-S) process, as an autonomous system, tends to diverge or converge toward a steady state. We identify a stable stationary point in the process of knowledge creation and fragmentation. We also discuss how novelty can emerge exogenously (through errors) or endogenously and how it oscillates within the (A-S) process when heterogeneous information and knowledge are considered. Finally, we identify a chaotic transition in the way knowledge and theories compensate for reduced information.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"29 3","pages":"347-378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144530300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this experiment, 136 undergraduates were organized into 32 groups of three, four, and five members playing an online computer game while wearing electrodermal sensors. They also completed cognitive measures of elasticity-rigidity and situation awareness during the games. Synchrony was calculated using the SE coefficient from the driver-empath model. Analyses were constructed to determine whether SE or SE variability added value to the cusp catastrophe models for cognitive workload and fatigue that were determined previously in Guastello and McGuigan (2024). Results indicated that SE made a strong impact on changes in performance as a bifurcation variable in both the workload and fatigue models. The positive and negative impact on performance shown by SE variability suggested that team members were grappling with the best ways to coordinate with each other or that teams found an advantage to turning synchrony on and off. SE variability made a strong impact as a bifurcation variable in the workload load model, and a strong impact as a compensatory ability (asymmetry parameter) in the fatigue model. Practical implications are that synchrony could be functional or dysfunctional, depending on situational demands that could be momentary. The study opened new questions regarding the qualitative relationship between elasticity-rigidity variables and synchrony and the possible roles of strong vs. weak ties in a closed network of this type.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"29 3","pages":"395-430"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144530313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Measuring Motivational Patterns: A Formal Approach of Conservation of Resources Theory.","authors":"Jean-Pierre Neveu, Pascal Bégout","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The present research develops a formal mathematical model to measure individual motivation at work. Its mathematical specifications correspond to a formal translation of Conservation of Resources (COR) theory core assumptions. It explores how such COR constructs as resource caravan and resource passageway determine patterns of motivational processes. The model is applied to a sample of working professionals (n = 8) from different occupations. Data is obtained from a 5-item Likert-scale questionnaire based on the COR-Evaluation (COR-E) instrument developed by Hobfoll et al. (1992). Results are presented in the form of eight tables that correspond to eight different resource caravans. They unveil how individual motivational processes vary by the extent to which resources interact with an underlying drive for preservation. The role of context is also confirmed as a resource passageway. With regard to methodology, this research emphasizes how measurement based on mathematical modeling can be an alternative to standard data-analytic statistics. At a theory level, it enriches both COR-based literature and theory of workplace motivation. Practically, it provides an analytical instrument that details information on those processes that shape individual motivational profiles in organizations.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"29 3","pages":"431-451"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144530315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model is expressed as a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Parental guidance and anti-nicotine therapy are considered in the model as strategies to control and prevent the spread of addicted smoking. Addicted and non-addicted fixed points of the model are analyzed using linearization, eigenvalues, the Routh-Hurwitz test, and the basic reproduction number. Sensitivity analysis of the model parameters to the basic reproduction number was carried out to determine the influence of the parameters, and it was found that the transmission rate has a significant contribution to the spread of addicted smoking. The model with control is then related to the problem of minimizing the number of individuals addicted to smoking. By using the Pontryagin minimum principle, an optimal path is obtained that minimizes the number of individuals addicted to smoking in a specific time interval. The simulation used several assumptions and model parameter values estimated from actual data. From the optimal path with and without controls, it was found that both controls significantly reduced the number of individuals addicted to smoking.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"29 2","pages":"313-331"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent perspectives conceptualize psychotherapy as a complex dynamic system, integrating biological, psychological, and social factors. Research suggests that the psychotherapeutic process can be unpredictable, fluctuating, and erratic. To capture this complexity, mathematical models have been developed. One such model, a two-dimensional representation of psychotherapy timing and emotional valence, focuses on the valence (positive or negative emotional tone) of both client and therapist. Incorporating delayed reactions from both parties, the model employs delayed differential equations. This modification enables the emergence of complex dynamics, potentially exhibiting chaotic behavior characterized by a positive Lyapunov exponent. The interplay between delayed reactions and therapist distress of the client-therapist alliance drives these chaotic dynamics. Our findings have significant implications for understanding the psychotherapy process, highlighting the importance of temporal factors and therapeutic relationships.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"29 2","pages":"291-311"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144054347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
