The aim of this study was to explore the effect of parental deprivation on self-confidence of adolescents. In the present study 4×2 factorial design was used. There were two independent variables, the first independent variable was parental deprivation, and distinguished at four levels that is mother deprivation, father deprivation, both deprivation and no deprivation. The second independent variable was gender distinguished at two levels that is male and female. 160 subjects (9th and 10th class) were selected for the study. Out of which 40 subjects have mother deprivation, 40 have father deprivation, 40 have both deprivation and 40 have no deprivation. In each group there were equal no of male and female. Data was collected with the help of “Agnihotri self-confidence Inventory”. Obtained data were analyzed by mean, ANOVA and newman-Keuls comparison test, result reveal that parental deprivation and gender significantly affect the self-confidence of adolescents.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate online viewers’ preferences concerning the number and duration of video advertisements to watch during commercial breaks. The goal of the investigations was to assess whether online viewers preferred watching a fewer number of advertisements with longer durations or a greater number of advertisements with shorter durations. Design/methodology/approach Two studies used experimental research designs to assess viewers’ preferences regarding advertisements. These designs used two independent variables and one dependent variable. The first independent variable manipulated the type of choice options given to online viewers (e.g. one 60 s or two 30 s advertisements). The second independent variable manipulated when the choice was given to online viewers (i.e. at the beginning of the viewing experience or in the middle of the experience). The dependent variable measured viewers’ choices concerning their preferred advertisement option. Findings The results across both studies found that participants made choices that minimized total advertisement exposure time when possible. When minimizing total exposure time was not possible, participants made choices that minimized the number of exposures instead. Originality/value These investigations extend the literature on advertisement choice by examining online viewers’ preferences about the format of their advertising experience rather than the content of the persuasive messages themselves. In addition, these investigations provide value by investigating viewers’ responses to stimuli within realistic online simulations rather than abstract hypotheticals.

Latency is an important factor when conducting teleoperated missions. This study investigates the effects of latency on a set of dependent variables: performance (measured by time and number of errors), subjective workload, trust, and usability. These measures were tested in a simulated search-and-rescue mission over two levels of two independent variables. One independent variable was the number of robots – one or two (within-subject), and the other independent variable was latency – simulations with and without latency (between-subject.) The significant effect of the independent variables on the dependent variables were checked using repeated measure two-way ANOVA with a confidence level of 95%. The data determined any significant effects that latency and/or the number of robots had on such factors as errors, dependability, reliability, harmful outcomes, temporal demand, and frustration.

Text messaging is pervasive among the youth of many cultures, but the extent and nature of text-speak, the modified host language, is open to question. This study of English and Japanese undergraduates specifically investigated whether text-speak is a product of the technological constraints on the host language or is influenced by gender differences in communication style. The study had a between-subjects factorial design with two independent variables: language (English, Japanese) and gender (male, female). The dependent variable was frequency and type of text modification. The results show both a qualitative and quantitative difference in texting between the two groups with English texters being more active. However, English and Japanese females made more adaptations to the host-language than their within-culture male peers, even though the structure of the two host languages was very different. The greater use of abbreviations by females compared to males might be explained either by a higher engagement with this mode of communication or diverging goals between the sexes when texting.

The concept of interaction arises in the context of continuous functions. Verbally, it is the action of one independent variable on the action of another, and vice versa, on a dependent variable. Quantitatively, it is the second partial derivative of a function with respect to two independent variables. Misconceptions have arisen from attempts to understand action and interaction in discrete terms. The algebraic expressions for the actions of diuron and phorate on the fresh weight of oats and their interaction were determined from the regression polynomial and plotted in three-dimensional graphs. Three other mutually incompatible methods of assessing interaction, namely, the Colby (with its modification, regression estimate), the two-parameter, and the topographical methods were evaluated.

A study was undertaken in order to identify variables predicting the willingness of male and female university professors, and other employment categories, to work up to and beyond normal retirement age (65 years). Employees were asked by means of a questionnaire about their willingness to continue working to age 67, or to age 70, if they were given the chance. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was carried out (N = 3,019; 59.8% women and 40.2% men). The interest to continue working into old age was significantly higher in men than in women (p<0.01). Among independent variables, age, position, and work satisfaction predicted women’s as well as men’s interest to work to age 67 and 70, whereas among women perceived health predicted the willingness to work to age 67. Professors and lecturers were the categories showing the highest interest to work to age 70, compared to administrative and technical personnel; men showed significantly higher interest than women among lecturers and administrative personnel. The study emphasizes the effects of position and gender on willingness to continue working into old age, but identifies in addition also work satisfaction and age as significant predictors.

Worldwide, the management of forests has been known to rely on the determination of the size of tree stands. The size of tree stands is determined based on dimensions that include the diameter and the marketable height through the volume equation. The volume is often evaluated from the diameter. It can however also be measured directly on felled trees or logs. It is difficult to obtain the volume for the stand trees directly, so, models were developed to tackle the situation based on standing trees’ variables like diameter and height in order to simplify volume estimation because it is more closetful and difficult to measure direct volumes for standing trees. The general objective of this study was to estimate trees’ volume using one and two independent variables. Systematic sampling was used to allocate the plots on which the diameters of the trees were measured, and counted for the number of individuals (trees stems). The Relascope was used to assign the trees to be considered in the set plot while a diameter tape measure was used for diameter (DBH) measurements and the already measured trees were marked (using marker pens, paints and chalk). Data recording sheets and a handheld GPS were used for recording coordinates. The study findings revealed that having a model with two independent variables; DBH and height(H) is more accurate compared to the model with one independent variable.
