Guided by the risk information-seeking and processing model, this study examines positive and negative affect separately in their influence on information-seeking intentions and avoidance through structural equation analyses. The highlight is that information avoidance seems to be driven by positive affect, while information seeking seems to be more heavily influenced by negative affect. Another interesting finding is that informational subjective norms are positively related to both seeking and avoidance, which suggests that one’s social environment has the potential to strongly influence the way he or she handles climate change information. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
This course is about scalable approaches to processing large amounts of information (terabytes and even petabytes). We focus mostly on MapReduce, which is presently the most accessible and practical means of computing at this scale, but will discuss other approaches as well.
The main task of the GenIELex project is the development of a biochemistry specific lexicon as well as of an annotated corpus for the evaluation of the system. The need for the construction of such a lexicon is illustrated by the following figures, based
