A Conditional Reasoning Measure of Goal Orientation : Preliminary Development
… goal setting and task choice motivations. Conditional reasoning measures provide an indirect way to assess implicit cognitions associated with personality constructs. In the study, a conditional reasoning measure of goal orientation was preliminarily developed. This measure attempted to …

The development and validation of a conditional reasoning test of withdrawal
… and permanent withdrawal behaviors. The conditional reasoning framework developed by Lawrence James and colleagues was adopted. Novel cognitive biases or justification mechanisms associated with withdrawal were proposed, drawing on research and theory from the attribution (marginalization …

The Effect of Divulging the Intent of the Conditional Reasoning Test of Aggression to Responses
<p>Under the conditional reasoning (CR; James, 1998) system of personality measurement, items are constructed to have the appearance of a logic or reasoning test. This characteristic of CR tests is designed to combat response distortion by test takers in personality testing. The CR system was used …

Using the conditional reasoning test for aggression to predict corrective action requests in a sample of nuclear power plant employees
… have been a number of studies showing that the Conditional Reasoning Test for Aggression (CRT-A) is a valid measure of one's implicit preparedness to engage in activities that are intended to harm others. Few studies have examined the predictive power of subscales of the CRT-A. The purpose of …

Equivalence and faking issues of the aggression questionnaire and the conditional reasoning test for aggression in Korean and American samples
… personality assessment. It is referred to as the Conditional Reasoning Test for Aggression (CRT-A). The CRT-A is an indirect measure for assessing unconscious motives to be aggressive that was developed in the USA. It has not been studied with people from different cultures. Study 1 investigated …

Interpretation of and reasoning with conditionals : probabilities, mental models, and causality
… investigates what meaning an everyday conditional transmits and what inferences it licenses. It is suggested that the nature of the relation between the two propositions in a conditional might play a major role for both questions. Thus, in the experiments reported here conditional …

Social cognition in epilepsy
… a social context significantly facilitated conditional reasoning in the NC, LT and RF groups but not in the other experimental groups. This finding was unexpected and suggests a double dissociation between ToM and social conditional reasoning. Study 4 investigated the extent to which …

If there are exceptions, it is still a rule : a probabilistic understanding of conditionals
… have proposed a probabilistic interpretation of conditional sentences. According to the proponents of probabilistic approaches, sentences like “If the weather is nice, I will be at the beach tomorrow” (or “If p, then q” in the abstract version) express a high probability of the consequent (being …

Toward a Typology of the Aggressive Personality
… both student and work populations) completed the Conditional Reasoning Test for Aggression (CRT-A; James, McIntyre, Glisson, Bowler, and Mitchell, 2004; James et al., 2005). Individual scores on the CRT-A were analyzed utilizing cluster analytic methodology in order to develop a typology of the …

Exploration Of Relevance Effects In Reasoning
… observed biased response patterns in two conditional reasoning tasks: the Wason selection task and the conditional inference evaluation task. It is proposed that memory processes that may account for priming phenomenon, may also account for the phenomena of matching bias and …

Contribución al estudio crítico de la inferencia borrosa y de sus aplicaciones
… the fourth chapter studies the classical ways of conditional reasoning, such as Modus Ponens, Modus Tollens, Constructive Dilemma... in lattices and Fuzzy Theories. This study shows that some laws have a restrictive behavior and force a speci_c boolean structures. The conditional reasoning is well …

Visual and verbal processing in reasoning
… revised version of the Dual Process theory of reasoning (Wason and Evans, 1975). A Type 2 process is characterised as verbal-rational and a Type I process as non-verbal and non-logical. Evans links the processes to two statistical components of observed reasoning performance. The Type I process …
