Cognitive Dissonance

A model of Global Climate Change driven by the impact of Carbon Dioxide on the Greenhouse Effect. This model contains a physical model of energy inflows ☀️ and outflows from the Earth (primary source). And a simple model of carbon dioxide sources and sinks in the atmosphere (primary source).

The energy model assumes inflowing short-wave solar radiation that does not interact with the atmosphere. A fraction of this is reflected immediately (e.g. by snow and ice cover). The remaining is absorbed 🌎 and re-radiated as long-wave infrared which can be captured by the atmosphere ☁️. The fraction captured by the atmosphere is related to the level of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere.

This model tracks Carbon Dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels 🏭 and land use changes 🚜 (e.g. deforestation). It also tracks removal of Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere into a land sink 🌲 (e.g. vegetation) and the an ocean sink 🏖.

🧪 Experiment with different levels of emissions to see their impact on global average temperatures. You can also compare predicted temperatures and Carbon Dioxide levels to historical data.

Overview:

This System Dynamics model operationalizes the dynamic, reciprocal relationships between Subjective Culture, Self-construal, and Goal Orientation across developmental time.

Key Pathways Tested:

  1. Culture→Goals & Self→Goals: Goal Orientation is calculated as a weighted composite where Alignment determines whether goals are internally or externally generated.

  2. Culture→Self: Macro-level direct cultural socialization pulls Self-Construal toward cultural norms over developmental time (tmacro​=18).

  3. Goals→Self: Reciprocal feedback from goal pursuit reshapes Self-Construal, with the feedback rate moderated by Alignment ( cultural goodness-of-fit).

 Modell eines Spülkastens, dessen Füllstand mit einem Schwimmerventil in einem limitierten Zulauf automatisch gehalten wird (P-Regler). Der Ablauf geschieht über einen Schieber der eine einstellbare Öffnung freigibt um den Spülkasten zu leeren. Der Schieber wird über ein einfaches Schaltwerk gesteuert: anfänglich ist der Spülkasten leer und der Schieber offen, wenn der Pegel unter 5% des Sollfüllstandes ist, wird der Schieber geschlossen, danach öffnet sich der Schieber  nach einer festgelegten Zeit wieder, wodurch sich der Spülkasten je nach Dauer wieder füllt. Falls der Ablauf zu klein ist, bleibt die Spülung "hängen", da der Spülkasten sich nicht unter den Triggerwert leert.
