	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Theory X and theory Y (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Theory X and Theory Y are theories of human motivation developed by Douglas McGregor at the MIT Sloan School of Management in the 1960s that have been used in human resource management, organizational behavior, and organizational development.
		A Theory X manager believes that his or her employees do not really want to work, that they would rather avoid responsibility and that it is the manager's job to structure the work and energize the employee.
		Theory X managers generally don't understand or have an interest in the human issues, so don't try to appeal to their sense of humanity or morality.

	Theory X and Theory Y - CONCEPTUALIZATION, EFFECT ON MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS, CRITICISM OF THEORY Y
		Theory X represents a negative view of human nature that assumes individuals generally dislike work, are irresponsible, and require close supervision to do their jobs.
		Theory Y denotes a positive view of human nature and assumes individuals are generally industrious, creative, and able to assume responsibility and exercise self-control in their jobs.
		Theory X and Theory Y are often studied as a prelude to developing greater understanding of more recent management concepts, such as job enrichment, the job-characteristics model, and self-managed work teams.

	X-bar theory - Free net encyclopedia
		X-bar theory is a component of linguistic theory which attempts to identify syntactic features common to all languages.
		The letter X is used to signify an arbitrary lexical category; when analyzing a specific utterance, specific categories are assigned.
		Note that a complement-containing X' may be distinguished from an adjunct-containing X' by the fact that the complement has an X (head) as a sister, whereas an adjunct has X-bar as a sister.

	Folk Psychology as a Theory
		Unfortunately, theory theorists are not always as clear as one might hope about which sense of "theory theory" they are endorsing.
		Other internalist theory theorists argue that folk psychology (internal) is largely innate, or at least that we are born with a mechanism dedicated to its acquisition.
		Internalist theory theorists of both the learned and nativist varieties must account for the observed pattern of acquisition of the capacity to mentalize (Wellman 1990 is an outstanding introduction to this area).

		This workshop will bring together practitioners and researchers who are involved in the use of computational systems in the fine and performing arts, literature, design and animation as well as the associated fields of aesthetics, cognitive science, art history and cultural theory.
		The title is a tip of the hat to scientific and cultural theories, as well as a more general idea of “unplanned and decentralized modes of organization”.
		On a historical angle, Mike Leggett discussed his experiments from the 1970s in what was called formalist film - but which Leggett now recognises as a generative practice (not computational, but based on formal rules and procedures).
