Scholz, G. (author), Wijermans, Nanda (author), Paolillo, Rocco (author), Neumann, Martin (author), Masson, Torsten (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Templeton, Anne (author), Kocheril, Geo (author)Simulating collective decision-making and behaviour is at the heart of many agent-based models (ABMs). However, the representation of social context and its influence on an agent’s behaviour remains challenging. Here, the Social Identity Approach (SIA) from social psychology, offers a promising explanation, as it describes how people behave...journal article 2023

Douma, Johanna G. (author), Volkers, Karin M. (author), Engels, Gwenda (author), Sonneveld, M.H. (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author), Scherder, Erik J.A. (author)Background: Despite the detrimental effects of physical inactivity for older adults, especially aged residents of residential care settings may spend much time in inactive behavior. This may be partly due to their poorer physical condition; however, there may also be other, setting-related factors that influence the amount of inactivity. The...journal article 2017

Viebahn, Peter (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)For many years, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been discussed as a technology that may make a significant contribution to achieving major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. At present, however, only two large-scale power plants capture a total of 2.4 Mt CO<sub>2</sub>/a. Several reasons are identified for this mismatch between...journal article 2018
