Behavioral Aspects

This study aims to investigate the effect of certain factors of behavioral aspects on negative emotional states among university students. The behavioral aspects that are selected as independent variables in this study are mobile usage, buying behavior and study habits. On the other hand, the negative emotional states that are discussed in this study is depression, anxiety, and stress. Students (N=377) from Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris were selected using stratified sampling and purposive sampling as respondents in this study. Correlation analysis was carried out to briefly inform the reader of the relationship between an independent variable and dependent variable, and also the interrelationship among them. There is a small effect indicated by the correlation coefficient between mobile usage and depression and between mobile usage and anxiety. On the other hand, there is a moderate relationship between mobile usage and stress. As for shopping behavior variable, the results indicated it correlates more with anxiety, followed by stress lastly with depression. Last but not least, there is a significant negative relationship between study habit and all dependent variables. As for among independent variables themselves, the results indicated that there is a significant correlation between that mobile usage with shopping behavior, but not with study habit. Same goes to between shopping behavior and study habit. On the contrary, among dependent variables themselves, the results indicated that there is a significantly high correlation between all of them. Multiple regression analysis is conducted by using SPSS software after testing the assumptions. The results of the regression indicated that the model was a significant predictor of depression, anxiety, and stress. Study habit is a significant contributing factor to reduce depression among university students. Besides that, shopping behavior and study habit are a significant contributing factor to anxiety among university students. On the contrary, mobile usage and study habit are a significant contributing factor to stress among university students.

Important Stimulus

Visual patterns that are initially poorly specified can be perceptually completed into different Gestalten (eg dot patterns can impose the perception of different figures). In the present study the following hypothesis is evaluated. If the goodness of initial patterns is high enough (high Prägnanz), then the completion of initial patterns will result in a single Gestalt (high stability of percept). On the other hand, if the goodness is low (low Prägnanz), the completion will result in several Gestalten (perceptual multistability). In experiment 1 subjects estimated the goodness of four sets of initial 8-dot patterns. The distance between the dots was systematically varied. In experiment 2 the variability of completion of the same initial stimuli was examined. Subjects were asked to choose from a given set of figures the one that was most strongly suggested by the exposed initial dot pattern. The entropy, as a measure of the completion variability, was derived from the proportions of the choices of figures. The correlation between goodness estimates (Prägnanz level) and entropy (completion multistability) was significant: the higher the goodness, the lower the multistability of initial pattern completion. The arrangement of dots was an important stimulus constraint of the dependent variables. Increasing the number of equidistant extents between dots increased multistability and decreased goodness. Collinearity of dots induced a decrease of multistability and an increase of goodness.

Female teenager conformity behavior is caused by several factors, which is internal factor and external factor. One of the internal factor that caused female teenager has consumptive behavior is prestige. In the other hand, having a low prestige makes female teenager tense to make friends and join a certain group in accordance to lifting their prestige. There is a conformity factorin a teenager group. That result in one’s behavior which is based on their mate in that group. Because they want have a same norms which is expected with their group (Sarwono, 2002). If they can’t control consumptive behavior, it will give them bad impact such as wasteful, unproductive, a crime where a person will do something. On the other hand teenager is stage where a person tries to find their own identity through their friend of the same age. This will be very much related to conformity and self esteem female teenager consumptive behavior in Denpasar. There is a positive relationship between conformity and female teenager consumptive behavior and also there is a negative relationship between self esteem and female teenager consumptive behavior in Denpasar. This study was used quantitative method. There were 286 female teenager start from 10 and 11 grade student in Denpasar senior high school. They were selected by stratified random technique sampling. The data was obtain by using conformity scale (Reliability alpha 0,901), self esteem scale which was adopted by Wardhani (2009) (Reliability alpha 0,939), and consumptive behavior scale (Reliability alpha 0,900). The result of this study was showed there was a significant relationship between conformity and self esteem female teenager consumptive behavior in Denpasar (R=0,407; r2=0,165), by using multiple regression analysis. Partially there was a positive significant relationship between conformity and teenager consumptive behavior in Denpasar (r= 0,408); and also there was negative significant relationship between self esteem and female consumptive behavior in Denpasar (r= -0,124).   Keyword: Conformity, Self Esteem, Consumptive Behavior.

SummaryThe UCLS questionnaire, in a form modified to include a measure of syllabus-boundness, and a questionnaire to measure psychiatric symptomatology (the MHQ) were administered to two groups of students, one seeking help for emotional problems, the other a control group. Groups were compared on tests, test findings were inter-correlated, and scores were related to academic success. The UCLSQ is confirmed as a reliable research instrument. Principal component analysis again indicates a separation of psychoneurotic and motivational components of study difficulty. Syllabus-boundness (‘Sylbism’) emerges as a relatively independent trait, with a significant negative relationship to work satisfaction in both groups. MHQ, scores again show a positive correlation between phobic anxiety and academic attainment for patients.

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.

Three studies on learning by discovery were conducted using a refraction task. In each study, three instructional methods were used, ruleg (rule-example), egrule (examples followed by the rule), and eg only (rule not given). Independent variables included sex and socioeconomic level. The 8 dependent variables used were measures of retention, transfer, incidental learning, and verbalization. Few significant findings were obtained; however, on the verbalization of the rule measure, the groups given the rule performed higher than the group not given the rule. There was little interaction between instructional method and the other variables.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to advance a theoretical model by estimating the effects of convention attendance on gaming volume (both monthly coin-in and table game drop). Design/methodology/approach – Performance monthly data from two casinos in South Korea are used to test the research model. Specifically, time series regression modeling was performed on the data with the dependent variables including coin-in and table drop and the independent variables including convention attendance and hotel occupancy. Findings – The hotel occupancy variable was found to significantly increase slot coin-in at a rate of 113,603,912 KRW (approximately US$93,500) per month at Casino A. Interestingly, this variable had a significant negative relationship with coin-in per month at Casino B. Meanwhile, the hotel occupancy variable failed to produce any significant effect in the table drop model at both casinos. The convention attendance variable also had no significant effect on both coin-in and table drop at both casinos. Originality/value – This research represents the first attempt to empirically examine the effects of convention attendance on gaming revenues in Asian markets.

Abstract Objective: An ecological study using secondary open data from Japanese government statistics was conducted. The study aimed to verify differences in three measures of healthy life expectancy (HLE); namely, disability-free life expectancy without activity limitation (DFLE-AL), life expectancy with self-perceived health (LE-SH), and disability-free life expectancy without care need (DFLE-CN).Results: Each HLE from 47 prefectures in 2010, 2013, and 2016 was extended over time. There were strong Cronbach’s coefficient alpha (α) between DFLE-AL and LE-SH (Minimum α; 0.80, Maximum α;0.90) as well as between LE and DFLE-CN (Minimum α; 0.92, Maximum α; 0.99) in both sexes in every data year. However, the other pairs had weaker associations. In regression analysis with each HLE as a dependent variable and aging rate, mortality, the proportion of unhealthy people as independent variables, the subjective unhealthy rate had significant standardized partial regression coefficients (β) in models with DFLE-AL and LE-SH as dependent variables (Minimum β; -0.56, Maximum β; -0.34). Therefore, DFLE-CN tended to differ from the other HLEs. The subjective unhealthy rate had a significant influence on DFLE-AL and LE-SH.

This article aimed to analyze the stereotypes attributed to "egalitarian men", understood here as men who support gender equality in relation to domestic and family responsibilities as well as inclusion in the workforce. To do so, two studies were carried out. The first study investigated the attribution of stereotypes to egalitarian men through a single open question. A total of 250 university students participated in this study, of which 51.1% were male, and their average age was 21.5 years (SD = 4.39). The second study analyzed the attribution of stereotypes to egalitarian or traditional men and women in a work context considered masculine. Participants included 221 university students with a mean age of 21.9 years (SD = 4.19), the majority (54.3%) being male. Taken together, the results of the two studies indicate that the egalitarian man is perceived as fragile and possibly homosexual. On the other hand, he is also seen as being more competent than traditional men.
