Book Chapter
Understanding and Improving the Human Condition: A Vision of the Future for Social‐Behavioral Modeling
2019
Overview
A great deal of creativity and innovation will be needed to surmount the considerable challenges. Even describing these challenges remains a subject for scholarly debate. The chapter provides a list of challenges that should be considered representative rather than comprehensive. The challenges are complexity of human issues, fragmentation, representations, and applications of social‐behavioral modeling. In the information age, our understanding of the human condition is deepening with new ways to observe, experiment, and understand behavior. The need for accuracy and precision in describing the understanding of the human condition will require models with structured descriptions of data sources, data interpretations, and related assumptions. Since modeling is an attempt to represent and exploit knowledge, it needs foundations in science. In the domain of social‐behavioral work, the theory and models are overly narrow ‐ focusing on some particular variables and ignoring others. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
