Foundations of Computational Science test 01

What is the primary focus of computational social science?

• Theory-based solutions
• Solution-oriented research
• Large-scale simulation
• Mathematical proofs

How does deep learning contribute to social science research?

• Provides actionable insights
• Replaces traditional research methods
• Eliminates bias in studies
• Focuses only on data collection

What is a key requirement for a computational model in cognitive modeling?

• It should be overly complex
• It should be as simple as possible but no simpler
• It should have no constraints
• It should ignore biological realism

What is an example of a negative psychological impact studied in computational modeling?

• Increased creativity
• Stress and strain
• Enhanced learning
• Improved cognitive function

Which modeling approach is often used in computational social science?

• Agent-based modeling
• Neural network pruning
• Quantum computing
• Linear regression

What is the primary purpose of Network-Oriented Modeling in computational cognitive science?

• Analyzing data structures
• Understanding temporal causal relationships
• Enhancing deep learning models
• Eliminating social behavior studies

According to the Person-Environment Fit Theory, what plays the main role in job satisfaction?

• Conservation of Resources Theory
• Social dynamics
• Metacognitive processes
• Exogenous variables

How do exogenous variables influence job performance?

• They have no effect on performance
• They impact technical resource gains or losses
• They solely determine workplace hierarchy
• They control job demands directly

What is an example of an exogenous variable in workplace stress models?

• Personality
• Task automation
• Meeting deadlines
• Cognitive ability

Which theory explains the effect of long-term job demands on worker stress levels?

• Quantum Field Theory
• Conservation of Resources Theory
• Chaos Theory
• Neural Plasticity Theory
