In a synthetic environment, Synthetic Psychological Environment (SPE) (or rules of behavior) refers to the representation (i.e. modeling) of influences to individuals and groups as a result of culture (e.g. demography, law, religion)).
Synonyms
SPE is known by many names including:
- Cultural factors[1]
- Cultural modeling[2]
- Human Terrain
- Non-kinetic Effects
- Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, and Infrastructure (PMESII)[3]
Models
A few models that represent aspects of SPE are:
- Joint Non-Kinetic Effects Model (JNEM)[4]
- Simulation of Cultural Identities for Prediction of Reactions (SCIPR)[5]
- Minerva Model (i.e. from Minerva Project)[6]
- Integrated Gaming System (IGS)[7]
- Synthetic Environment for Analysis and Simulations (SEAS)
