Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: The present study conducts a retrospective bibliometric analysis to examine the quantifiable and qualitative evolution of the concept of tolerance to ambiguity (TA) over time. Additionally, a scientometric analysis using quantitative methods on scientific measurements and trends aims to profile and identify the concept, as well as its development in research themes. The relevance of this study is underscored by the growing interest and development of research on TA, particularly in fields like entrepreneurship where psychological factors are significant.
UNASSIGNED: The research includes highly relevant literature, such as Budner and Frenkel-Brunswick, which define TA as a predisposition to perceive ambiguous situations as desirable and as a personality variable centered on the emotional and perceptual domain, respectively. Data was obtained from the eight indices comprising the main Web of Science collection, covering research from 1975 to December 2022. A total of 378 articles were identified.
UNASSIGNED: The analysis reveals that scientific production peaked in 2022 with 45 articles. In terms of citations, 7,773 were found, with the highest concentration in 2022, totaling 1,203 citations. This indicates a significant increase in research interest and output related to TA.
UNASSIGNED: The study highlights the growing exploration of the concept of TA, emphasizing its importance across multiple disciplines in dealing with uncertainty. The research demonstrates that TA significantly influences decision-making and adaptability, highlighting its value in business and educational settings. By analyzing leading publications, authors, and research centers, the study shows the diversity of approaches to understanding TA, indicating a promising direction for future research.
摘要:
本研究进行了回顾性文献计量分析,以检查对歧义的容忍度(TA)概念随时间的可量化和定性演变。此外,使用定量方法对科学测量和趋势进行科学计量分析,旨在概述和确定这一概念,以及它在研究主题上的发展。对TA研究的兴趣和发展突显了这项研究的相关性,特别是在像创业这样心理因素很重要的领域。
研究包括高度相关的文献,比如Budner和Frenkel-Brunswick,将TA定义为将模棱两可的情况视为可取的倾向,并将其定义为以情感和感知领域为中心的人格变量,分别。数据来自包含主要WebofScience集合的八个索引,涵盖1975年至2022年12月的研究。共确定了378篇文章。
分析表明,科学生产在2022年达到顶峰,有45篇。就引文而言,发现7773人,2022年浓度最高,共引用1203次。这表明与TA相关的研究兴趣和产出显著增加。
这项研究突出了对TA概念的不断探索,强调其在处理不确定性时跨多个学科的重要性。研究表明,TA显著影响决策和适应性,突出其在商业和教育环境中的价值。通过分析主要出版物,作者,和研究中心,这项研究表明,理解TA的方法多种多样,为未来的研究指明了一个有希望的方向。
