The two works Letter from an Unknown Woman and A Rose for Emily have made excellent description of woman’s love and contained profound meanings. The former is a passionate confession, and the latter is an implicit critique. This essay compares and analyzes the two heroines’ love tragedies from the perspective of Freud’s Personality Structure Theory and attempts to explore how the id, ego and superego influence the heroines’ psychology and behavior. The Psychoanalysis approach offers insight into the cause of their tragedies, it’s the imbalance of their personality structure leads to their doomed tragic fates.

This review provides insight into consumer attitudes toward functional food (FF), with the purpose of better understanding the needs and behavior regarding this kind of product. A total of 47 articles were selected for this paper. The available studies from last 20 years differ according to the focus (awareness, attitudes, motivations, willingness, acceptance by consumers) and methodologies used. Several factors, including socio-demographic, cognitive and attitudinal ones, seem to be serve as the basis for the acceptance of functional products. The research papers showed that nutritional knowledge is the most important of these. Older people are more interested in functional products than younger consumers, because of their stronger belief in the health benefits of FF. Moreover, women are more open to compromise between taste and health properties. Claims concerning the disease preventative properties of FF are the most attractive for consumers. This review focuses also on future perspectives for the functional food market. Adequate knowledge and evidence-based communication seem to be the most promising ways to increase consumers’ interest in these kinds of products.

Technology has given rise to online behaviors such as sexting. It is important that we examine predictors of such behavior in order to understand who is more likely to sext and thus inform intervention aimed at sexting awareness. We used the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to examine sexting beliefs and behavior. Participants (n = 418; 70.3% women) completed questionnaires assessing attitudes (instrumental and affective), subjective norms (injunctive and descriptive), control perceptions (self-efficacy and controllability) and intentions toward sexting. Specific sexting beliefs (fun/carefree beliefs, perceived risks and relational expectations) were also measured and sexting behavior reported. Relationship status, instrumental attitude, injunctive norm, descriptive norm and self-efficacy were associated with sexting intentions. Relationship status, intentions and self-efficacy related to sexting behavior. Results provide insight into the social-cognitive factors related to individuals’ sexting behavior and bring us closer to understanding what beliefs predict the behavior.

Abstract A robust literature exists that draws on social network approaches to understand connections among individuals, and healthcare and behavior-related implications. This article offers commentary on the scoping review conducted by Dugoff et al. that examines “patient-sharing” networks, their characteristics, and various methodological approaches. The scoping review conducted by Dugoff et al. examines the characteristics and methods employed in patient-sharing network studies. It identified the most common measures used in patient-sharing network research, as well as theories used in patient-sharing network studies. Dugoff et al. also identified many studies that examined healthcare utilization considerations for patient sharing. Understanding the connections between providers and the flow of patients between providers could lend insight into barriers and enablers to efficient healthcare systems.

The article discusses the issues of design and methodology related to the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of a GaN HEMT. Reliable I-V characteristics show the operability of a semiconductor device, provide initial data for functional application of the device, and provide insight into the quality and reproducibility of the technological process. The type and behavior of I–V characteristics are influenced by the design and technological features of a GaN HEMT. Measurements of I-V characteristics in continuous and pulsed operation modes provide more details about the electrical and thermal characteristics of the devices under study.

Insight Into

Intuitions, attitudes, images, mind-wandering, dreams, and religious messages are just a few of the many kinds of uncontrolled thoughts that intrude on consciousness spontaneously without a clear reason. Logic suggests that people might thus interpret spontaneous thoughts as meaningless and be uninfluenced by them. By contrast, our survey of this literature indicates that the lack of an obvious external source or motive leads people to attribute considerable meaning and importance to spontaneous thoughts. Spontaneous thoughts are perceived to provide meaningful insight into the self, others, and the world. As a result of these metacognitive appraisals, spontaneous thoughts substantially affect the beliefs, attitudes, decisions, and behavior of the thinker. We present illustrative examples of the metacognitive appraisals by which people attribute meaning to spontaneous secular and religious thoughts, and the influence of these thoughts on judgment and decision-making, attitude formation and change, dream interpretation, and prayer discernment.

In this research a survey was used to gain insight into the factors that affect the choice of capital structure, from the perspective of investment advisors. Content analysis of responses to open-ended questions in the questionnaire and interviews showed a clear support for the optimal capital structure theory and indicated theory-based approaches to the choice between different financing instruments. Factor analysis showed that taxation implications, market concerns and financing costs affect capital structure decisions. The results indicate that asymmetric information and signalling are important concerns but provide little evidence regarding the importance of agency considerations.

Fifty-two students with learning disabilities (LD), behavior disorders (BD), or mild mental retardation (MMR) answered questions relating to secondary special education resource and self-contained programs. Their responses provided insight into their perceptions about secondary special education and possible improvements. In terms of staying in school and reducing school dropout rates, the most dominant themes suggested a need for the students and teachers to change their attitudes and behavior. Related, but less dominant, themes suggested better textbooks, more help from parents and teachers, and more sports. Students indicated that the best part of school was socializing with peers, a particular class or teacher, and sports, whereas the worst part was being in particular classes, dealing with teachers or administrators, the schoolwork, and getting up so early. As for advantages, 46 students (89%) linked staying in school to an improvement in employment prospects. Conversely, 9 students (17%) perceived doing the schoolwork and limited employment prospects as a disadvantage.

This paper extends the research conducted on male bonding in locker rooms to another well-known but under-researched site, the campus bar. Through a life history of a former athlete, we learn about the connection between what is said in the locker room and behavior outside. We also gain insight into the role campus bars play in facilitating aggression and sexual misconduct by male athletes.
