Opportunistic behavior as behavior manipulations

© 2016 Elena Yakovleva, Natalia Grigoryeva and Olga Grigoryeva.The study of opportunistic behavior in relation with manipulation techniques is important because it directly affects the efficiency of agent’s relationship. We identified two forms of opportunistic behavior that depend on the subject composition of the contractual relationship. In the article we attempt to identify significant techniques of manipulation of information. It is important to understand real nature of opportunism in contractual relationship. The study proved the high importance, because it expands our knowledge about the nature of exogenous opportunistic manifestations as a society and economic phenomenon

The influence of the opportunistic behavior on the contractual relationship

The paper deals with the nature of influence of opportunistic behavior of economic agents on the implementation of contractual cooperation. Opportunism can apply to any form of interaction between economic subjects; it implies an increase of transactional costs including the costs of destructive behavior and the costs of protection against third parties; the complexity and dearness of personal protection from the opportunistic behavior of counterparties. The findings of the investigation were made by using the dialectical method, the scientific methods, the author economy. It has been proved that the level of asset specificity determines the particular manifestations of opportunistic behavior in the implementation of the contractual relationship. The acceptance of the precondition of the impossibility of complete removal of the probability of opportunistic actions by at least one party of the transaction leads to the need for incomplete contract. The results can be used in improving the economic policy in the educational activity. The revealed laws provide the basis for further research in the field of behavioral economic theory

Anosognosia in patients with acute hemispheric ischemic stroke

Objective: to investigate the frequency of anosognosia (a deficit of self-awareness), its anatomic correlates associated with other neuropsychological and neurological disorders in acute hemispheric ischemic stroke (IS).Patients and methods 150 patients (83 men and 67 women; mean age, 63.0±9.3 years) with acute hemispheric IS were examined. All the patients underwent neurological, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological (by the procedure described by A.R. Luria) examinations. neuropsychological investigations. Anosognosia was diagnosed using the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX) and the authors' procedure involving a scale to measure impaired self-rating of motor abilities and a scale to measure impaired self-rating of cognitive abilities in everyday life.Results and discussion. In the acute period of hemispheric IS, reduced self-awareness of motor and cognitive abilities was noted in 14% of the patients and unawareness of only cognitive abilities was recorded in 15%. Patients with anosognosia and cognitive dysfunction (ACD) and those with anosognosia and motor dysfunction (AMD) had right-sided hemispheric IS more frequently (76%) while this was not found in patients with isolated ACD. The development of anosognosia for paralysis and paresis was favored by the large sizes of an ischemic focus that involved a few lobes in the posterior regions of the brain although no lesions were found in the anosognosia-specific anatomical regions. ACD and AMD proved to be associated with unilateral spatial and tactile neglect and obvious regulatory dysfunction
