Belief models

Evidence theory also known as the Dempster-Shafer theory, has been first introduced by Dempster [5], then formalized by [25] and finally axiomized later into the framework of the Transferable Belief Model (Evidence theory) by Smets [28]. The Evidence theory can be understood as an alternative to probability theory for the representation of uncertainty It allows one to manipulate non-necessarily exclusive events and thus to represent explicitly information uncertainty...

Perception of risk in adults is usually described, or interpreted, with reference to health belief models (HBMs) (Ajzen and Fishbein, 1980 Janz and Becker, 1984). Individuals are more likely to engage in health behaviors if they perceive vulnerability to health threats that the consequences are severe that treatment or preventive measures will be successful. Although there are variants to the framework, the different models share many of the same elements. In effect, theories assume that individuals rationally weigh benefits and costs and act according to the outcome of this analysis. Subsequent modifications to the models include the addition of perceived social or monetary barriers to the adaptive response. A cue to action which can be internal (e.g., symptoms) or external (e.g., health communication) is hypothesized to trigger these...

Nonadherence has been studied widely by behavioral scientists whose models, such as the Health Belief Model and the Theory of Reasoned Action, attempt to explain and predict nonadherence. However, despite the numerous articles that have been published on this topic, nonadherence remains a problem of epidemic propor-...

The cognitive process of obtaining Team Situation Awareness (TSA) (Shu Furuta, 2005) can be described well with the Mutual Belief Model. In this snbsection, we will explain MBM, which is the basis of the cognitive model to be proposed in this study.

We analyzed the team cooperative process of ATCo s by using the mutual belief model and TSA in the case study described in Section 4.
