Description
Summary:The paper focuses on social situation (requests) where we describe a novel approach to computational modelling of specific elements of request based on cognitive style “Category width”. For this purpose, transaction/sequence model was formulated and the data - requests in social situations, among students and their teachers in a university environment, were collected. The research was focused on the investigation of frequency and combination of factors of request as they appear in the “category width”, in socially proximal situation without social power. Cross-tabulation analysis and association rules were applied. The results indicated that the broad categorizers began with social factors, continued with expressive, language, and finish with social. The narrow categorizers began with expressive, continued with social, and finished with language factors.
