  2. Attitude object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_object

    Attitude towards an object are influenced not only by the characteristics of the object itself (cognitive aspect) but also by the context in which the object is encountered, a concept known as attitude-toward-situation. [5] The behavior is better predicted when both the attitude-toward-object and attitude-toward-situation are considered.

  3. Causality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality

    Causality is an influence by which one event, process, state, or object (a cause) contributes to the production of another event, process, state, or object (an effect) where the cause is at least partly responsible for the effect, and the effect is at least partly dependent on the cause. [1]

  4. Event (relativity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_(relativity)

    One of the goals of relativity is to specify the possibility of one event influencing another. This is done by means of the metric tensor, which allows for determining the causal structure of spacetime. The difference (or interval) between two events can be classified into spacelike, lightlike and timelike separations. Only if two events are ...

  5. Causality (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality_(physics)

    Causality is the relationship between causes and effects. [1] [2] While causality is also a topic studied from the perspectives of philosophy and physics, it is operationalized so that causes of an event must be in the past light cone of the event and ultimately reducible to fundamental interactions.

  6. Relativity of simultaneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity

    According to the special theory of relativity introduced by Albert Einstein, it is impossible to say in an absolute sense that two distinct events occur at the same time if those events are separated in space. If one reference frame assigns precisely the same time to two events that are at different points in space, a reference frame that is ...

  7. Affect control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affect_control_theory

    Events modify impressions on all three EPA dimensions in complex ways that are described with non-linear equations obtained through empirical studies. [5] Here are two examples of impression-formation processes. An actor who behaves disagreeably seems less good, especially if the object of the behavior is innocent and powerless, like a child.

  8. Event (philosophy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_(philosophy)

    In his view, there is no "one," and everything that is is a "multiple." "One" happens when the situation "counts," or accounts for, acknowledges, or defines something: it "counts it as one." For the event to be counted as one by the situation, or counted in the one of the situation, an intervention needs to decide its belonging to the situation.

  9. Independence (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_(probability...

    Independence is a fundamental notion in probability theory, as in statistics and the theory of stochastic processes.Two events are independent, statistically independent, or stochastically independent [1] if, informally speaking, the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of occurrence of the other or, equivalently, does not affect the odds.
