Acta Psychologica, 2023 In all, 510 Europeans completed an online questionnaire rating their beliefs about personal change, including the established Dweck Mindset measure. Their ratings of 27 characteristics from BMI to sexual preference factored into 5 interpretable factors labelled Personality, Beliefs and Habits, Health, Social Status and Physical.

Belief Change as Propositional Update [PDF]
Cognitive Science, 1997 This study examines the problem of belief revision, defined as deciding which of several initially accepted sentences to disbelieve, when new information presents a logical inconsistency with the initial set. In the first three experiments, the initial sentence set included a conditional sentence, a non‐conditional (ground) sentence, and an inferred ...

Rational Defeasible Belief Change
Proceedings of the Seventeenth International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, 2020 We present a formal framework for modelling belief change within a nonmonotonic reasoning system. Belief change and non-monotonic reasoning are two areas that are formally closely related, with recent attention being paid towards the analysis of belief change within a non-monotonic environment.

Iffy beliefs: Conditional thinking and belief change [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2007 The ability to entertain possibilities and draw inferences about them is essential to human intelligence. We examine the hypothesis that conditional if-then statements trigger a mental simulation process in which people suppose the antecedent (if statement) to be true and evaluate the consequent (then statement) in that context.

From Belief Change to Preference Change
, 2008 Various tasks need to consider preferences in a dynamic way. We start by discussing several possible meanings of preference change, and then focus on the one we think is the most natural: preferences evolving after some new fact has been learned. We define a family of such preference change operators, parameterized by a revision function on epistemic ...

Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2022 Why people do or do not change their beliefs has been a long-standing puzzle. Sometimes people hold onto false beliefs despite ample contradictory evidence; sometimes they change their beliefs without sufficient reason. Here, we propose that the utility of a belief is derived from the potential outcomes associated with holding it.

Iterated Belief Change, Computationally
Proceedings of the Nineteenth International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, 2022 This paper considers belief change in the Darwiche-Pearl framework. We demonstrate that iterative belief revision is Turing complete by showing how revision operators over ranking functions can simulate every Turing machine. Our result holds even under the condition that the broadly accepted Darwiche-Pearl postulates for iterated revision hold.
