Depression symptoms as a mediator between social support, non-suicidal self-injury, and suicidal ideation among Arab adolescents in Israel
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 03-03-2021
Abstract: The purpose of the current study was to explore whether depression symptoms mediate the relationships between perceptions of social support from three sources namely parents, teachers, and peers, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidal ideation. We also tested the interactions between the different sources of support. Focusing on the Arab-Israeli population is unique as it is an ethnic minority characterized with strong familial support, and less access to mental health services compared to the ethnic majority. Adolescents (N = 276 65.6% girls mean age 15.1 years) from the Arab minority in northern Israel were s led (74% response rate). Participants were evaluated using validated scales assessing perceived social support, NSSI and suicidal ideation. Path analysis with Bayesian estimation supported the hypothesized model. Depression symptoms fully mediated the relationships between school-related social support (i.e., teachers and peers) and NSSI, and partially between parents’ support and suicidal ideation. Interactions between the social support sources were not significant, and cluster analysis indicated that each source is independently essential to understand NSSI and suicide ideation. This model emphasizes the importance of school-related factors in adolescents’ particular aspects of mental health, and suggests that one source of social support may not compensate for a lack of another.

Parental support and adolescent motivation for dieting: the Self-Determination Theory perspective
Publisher: Informa UK Limited
Date: 21-04-2015
DOI: 10.1080/00223980.2014.903890
Abstract: This article focuses on parents' role in overweight adolescents' motivation to diet and successful weight loss. The study employed Self-Determination Theory (SDT) as the theoretical framework (Deci & Ryan, 2000, 2011). Ninety-nine participants (ages 20-30) who had been overweight during adolescence according to their Body Mass Index (BMI mean = 25, SD = 1.6), completed retrospective questionnaires about their motivation to diet and their parents' behavior in the context of dieting. Findings from a structural equation modeling analysis suggested that participants who viewed their parents' as more need-supportive demonstrated more autonomous motivation to diet, which, in turn, contributed to their successful weight loss. The findings highlight the importance of parental support of adolescents' psychological needs in the quality of their motivation to diet. This is an important insight for parents and professionals who aim to encourage more constructive parent involvement in adolescents' dieting and well-being.

Anticipated embarrassment due to social presence withholds consumers from purchasing products that feature a lucky charm
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 12-09-2017
Abstract: Several studies have shown that superstitious beliefs, such as beliefs in “lucky” product attributes, influence consumer purchase behaviour. Still, little is known about how social influence, in particular mere social presence, impacts consumer superstition-related purchase decisions. Drawing on impression management theory, this paper aims to investigate the effect of social presence on consumer purchase decisions of products featuring lucky charms including the role of anticipated embarrassment as a mediator of the social presence effect. In three studies, participants select products that feature or do not feature a lucky charm. They make these selections under varying conditions of social presence, as induced by the shopping setting in the scenario or through the use of confederates or fellow participants observing them make a real product selection. Participants are students from Australia and China. The studies show that social presence makes consumers less likely to select products that feature a lucky charm. This suppressing effect is mediated by the consumers’ anticipated embarrassment. The study investigates the effect of social presence but does not investigate different parameters of social presence such as the number of people present and their familiarity. The study investigates effects for purchase settings but does not include effects of usage and neither does it look into differences across product types or lucky charm types. Marketers should be careful to not make lucky charms too publicly salient. Online settings are more suitable than mortar-and-brick settings for selling products featuring a lucky charm. The present research is the first to investigate consumer purchase behaviour for a product featuring a lucky charm. It is also the first to investigate the impact of social influence on superstition-based decision-making.

Childhood methylphenidate adherence as a predictor of antidepressants use during adolescence
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 04-03-2019
DOI: 10.1007/S00787-019-01301-Z
Abstract: Methylphenidate (MPH) is a common and effective treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but little is known about the relationship between early childhood intake of MPH and onset of antidepressant treatment during adolescence. The study aimed to examine whether adherence to MPH during early childhood predicts the initiation of antidepressants during adolescence. This is a 12-year historical prospective nationwide cohort study of children enrolled in an integrated care system who were first prescribed MPH between the ages of 6 and 8 years (N = 6830). We tested for an association between their adherence to MPH during early childhood (as indicated by medication possession ratio from MPH onset through the age of twelve) and the likelihood of being prescribed any antidepressant during adolescence (age 13-18). As all country citizens are covered by mandatory health insurance, and full services are provided by one of the four integrated care systems, data regarding patients' diagnoses, prescriptions, and medical purchases are well documented. Logistic regression analysis indicated that those with higher adherence to MPH had a 50% higher risk (95% CI 1.16-1.93) of receiving antidepressants during adolescence when controlling for other comorbid psychiatric conditions and parental use of antidepressants. In this large-scale longitudinal study, MPH adherence during early childhood emerged as a predictor for antidepressant treatment during adolescence, which may reflect increased emotional and behavioral dysregulation in this group. The highly adherent patients are at higher risk and should be clinically monitored more closely, particularly into adolescence.
A trial engagement? Innovative free and other service trials
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 09-01-2018
Abstract: This paper aims to discover how consumers process an innovative set of systematically varied service trial offers and how this affects their learning and interaction as precursors to customer engagement. The research uses experiments that manipulate pricing, type of service and delivery method. A repeated-measures design was used with a s le of 396 participants. Free (as opposed to cost or full price) service trials were more likely to be accepted, with perceived truthfulness of the trial offer and perceived obligation mediating the relationship. Credence service trials generate higher levels of perceived obligation than experience service trial offers, while personal services are more likely to lead to trial adoption. The research can be extended to well-recognized brands and further mixed service contexts. Trial offers of new services are best targeted at buyers who are in the likely buyer group. The trial offer may accelerate time to purchase and relieve perceived risks. The trials of credence services need further signals of quality in the trial itself for consumers to adopt the full service. With personal service trials, skeptical consumers need assurance as to what will happen after the trial experience. Free trials may actually devalue a service, threatening engagement. Uniquely, service trial offers are systematically manipulated using experience versus credence and personal versus impersonal trials to determine their effect on acceptance of the trial offer and the full service. Additionally, the study compares free, cost price and full price trial offers.
A Nationwide Study Comparing Mental Health Professionals’ Willingness to Try Hallucinogenic Drugs in Basic Research or Clinical Practice
Publisher: Informa UK Limited
Date: 25-07-2022
DOI: 10.1080/02791072.2021.1941444
Abstract: This study explored whether personal attitudes toward drug users are associated with professional approaches and whether the association between personal and professional attitudes varies across different mental health professions. Participants (N = 347) included medical (psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses) and other (clinical psychologists and social workers) mental health professions from all 13 mental health centers in Israel. They completed questionnaires aimed to assess familiarity with medical usage of hallucinogenic drugs, personal attitudes toward recreational drug users and willingness to use five hallucinogens in research of clinical practice. Hypotheses were tested using multiple-group structural equation modeling (SEM). Psychiatrists reported the highest levels of familiarity with and willingness to use all types of hallucinogenic drugs, as compared to other mental health professionals. Psychiatrists held the strongest belief in the potential utility of hallucinogenic drugs yet, their personal attitudes toward drug users affected negatively their willingness to try hallucinogenic drugs in clinical practice. This was the only significant association that was found. Future research and treatment programs should address the topic of hallucinogenic drug therapy, and specifically the need to separate between in idual beliefs and professional clinical decision-making.
Suicidal ideation and behaviors within the school context: Perceived teacher, peer and parental support
Publisher: Elsevier BV
Date: 11-2018
DOI: 10.1016/J.PSYCHRES.2018.08.045
Abstract: School-related factors have been found to be associated with adolescents' suicidal ideation and behaviors, including teacher and peer support. Research has tended to ignore the nested nature of school-related data, which may be critical in this context. The current study implemented a multi-level approach on data from the 2013-14 Health Behaviors in School-aged Children (HBSC-WHO) Israeli survey among high school children (N = 4241 56% female). Participants completed measures of teacher-, peer-, and parental-support (coded reversely from 1 = high to 5 = low), and suicidal ideation and behaviors in the last 12 months. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM), controlling for gender and age, revealed that classroom-level teachers' support was significantly related to students' suicidal ideation and behaviors (OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.20-2.44 OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.04-1.86 respectively), whereas parental (OR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.40-1.75 OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.30-1.55 respectively) and peer support (OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.12-1.31 OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.02-1.21 respectively) were significant at the in idual-level. The school environment can play a significant role in reducing risk for suicidal ideation and behaviors. Findings can inform future research and practice in planning and implementing evidence-based intervention programs within schools.
Autonomous Motivation and Pro-Environmental Behaviours Among Bedouin Students in Israel: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective
Publisher: Cambridge University Press (CUP)
Date: 26-10-2015
DOI: 10.1017/AEE.2015.33
Abstract: Promoting pro-environmental behaviours (PEBs) among students is a major concern for educators. The present article presents an educational program based on a self-determination theory framework (SDT Deci & Ryan, 2000) and a study demonstrating that working according to the theoretical principles presented in the program leads to the desired outcomes. The primary aim of the study was to test whether a hypothesised model in which autonomy support by students’ parents and moderators in a large-scale intervention program would be associated with autonomous motivation, which would in turn lead to PEBs, over and above the contributions of the students’ self-perceived competence and relatedness. The participants were 102 Bedouin high-school students (Grades 8 to 10) s led from a cultural background characterised by a collectivist-hierarchical society in Israel. The results, based on structural equation modelling, indicated that moderators and parental autonomy support, as well as self-perceived relatedness and competence, were associated with students’ autonomous motivation, which in turn was associated with pro-environmental behaviours (including cleaning behaviours, activism, and preserving behaviours). The study supported the hypothesised model and demonstrated that SDT can be utilised as a theoretical framework for educational programs aimed at improving students’ self-determined PEBs.
Repetitive vs. occasional non-suicidal self-injury and school-related factors among Israeli high school students.
Publisher: Elsevier BV
Date: 11-2017
DOI: 10.1016/J.PSYCHRES.2017.07.073
Abstract: The current study explored the relationship between non-suicidal self-injuries (NSSI) and students' perceptions of school among adolescents. A s le of 594 high-school students (54.4% male mean age 14.96) completed validated self-reported measures. Students were ided into three groups: repetitive-NSSI (more than 6 occasions), occasional-NSSI (at least once but less than 6), and no-NSSI. Multi-nominal regression, controlling for gender, age, and depression symptoms, indicated that teachers' psychological support, a sense of school belongingness, and negative perceptions of peer climate were significantly different between repetitive-NSSI and non-NSSI groups. These school-related factors should be considered as risk factors for NSSI behaviors.
Perceived school climate across the transition from elementary to middle school.

DOI: 10.1037/SPQ0000129
Abstract: The implications of the transition from elementary to middle school are of major concern for educators and researchers worldwide. Previous studies have yielded ambiguous findings some have indicated negative outcomes of school transition, whereas others have demonstrated null or even positive effects. The aim of the current research was to explore the impact of school transition on students' perceived educational climate while distinguishing between transition effects and age-related effects by comparing students who transitioned to middle schools at the end of the sixth grade versus those who did not. The research included 2 complementary studies. Study 1 was based on a large-scale national survey in Israel (N = 71,739) that compared students from fifth to eighth grades using a cross-sectional design, in which the students completed a survey once in the middle of the school year. Study 2 followed a s le of 415 students across 2 years including 4 waves of survey completion, at the beginning and the end of 2 consecutive school years, during which 55% of the students experienced a transition and 45% remained in elementary school. In both studies, the students completed self-report surveys assessing the perceived school climate. Both multilevel and nonlinear growth-curve analyses consistently indicated that the students who transitioned reported positive perceptions of the school climate before the transition that declined more quickly and become equal to or lower than those of the nontransitioning students. Teachers should apply practices that enhance students' sense of support, specifically following school transitions. (PsycINFO Database Record

Experimental research.
Publisher: CABI
Date: 2017
DOI: 10.1079/9781786390486.0205
Abstract: is chapter discusses why you need to conduct experiments and presents the basic principles of the design and analysis of experiments. Experimental research aims to assess cause-and-effect relations and therefore gives priority to maximizing the internal validity of a research design, which means that alternative explanations for the observed outcome of the experiment are ruled out. The keys to internal validity are standardization, statistical control of external variables and random allocation of test units to experimental conditions. Conducting experiments in field settings can enhance external validity. Including so-called blocking factors can enhance the efficiency of an experiment. Multiple experimental factors can be crossed to allow testing for interactions between factors. Having multiple factors, however, increases the number of conditions that need to be observed. Fractional designs can be used to partly overcome this limitation. The chapter concludes that experiments are not just a type of research but a way of thinking about research. A worked ex le concerning a museum trying to increase its visitor numbers is presented throughout the chapter.

Abstract: Experiments aim to test causal relationships between independent and dependent variables while ruling out any alternative explanation of the relationship observed in the experiment. To achieve this, experimentation involves standardization and control of external factors, and random assignment of test units to experimental conditions. Experiments that are using existing groups of test units are called quasi‐experiments . Field experiments involve the implementation of experimental procedures within a real or realistic setting, which reduces control but enhances external validity.

Unit pricing matters more when consumers are under time pressure
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 09-02-2016
Abstract: This paper aims to first investigate how unit pricing affects consumers’ grocery purchase decisions and perceptions of the shopping task’s information load. The second goal is to test how time pressure enhances the behavioural and perceptual effects of displaying unit prices. Two on-line experiments were conducted using national s les of shoppers. In Study 1, participants indicated their choices and perceptions in an inter-brand shopping scenario where prepackaged products have conflicting positions on retail price and unit price. In Study 2, participants conducted the same shopping task but now under a condition of time pressure. Study 1 shows that unit pricing shifts consumer choices towards the lower unit priced options and improves their perceptions of task information load. Study 2 shows that when consumers are under time pressure, unit pricing shows stronger effects on choices but not on perceptions. The study comprised a fairly homogenous set of low involvement categories and relatively small assortments in a hypothetical purchase setting. Exploration of the role of unit pricing in more complex and more realistic purchase environments pose suitable avenues for future research. This study shows that consumers benefit from unit pricing because it makes it easier for them to find the lower unit priced items and to more quickly complete their shopping task. Retailers will benefit from increased customer satisfaction and possibly an improved store image. The study shows that consumers generally benefit from the presence of unit pricing and that unit price information does not create harmful effects in terms of increasing their information load. This study uses a specifically designed and controlled but nevertheless realistic grocery choice task to study the effects of unit pricing in an inter-brand context where there are only small differences in size and price. The study contributes to the literature by showing that in such conditions, unit prices help consumers compare the economic losses associated with product options. Their heuristic role is more pronounced when consumers are under time pressure. The study shows that consumers generally benefit from the presence of unit prices.

Depression Symptoms as Mediator Between Adolescents' Sense of Loneliness at School and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Behaviors
Publisher: Hogrefe Publishing Group
Date: 03-2021
DOI: 10.1027/0227-5910/A000702
Abstract: Abstract. Background: Previous studies indicated that perception of school experiences (i.e., teachers' psychological support and perceived peer climate) is associated with nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors among adolescents. Aims: The purpose of the current study was to explore whether depression symptoms mediate the relationship between sense of loneliness in school and NSSI behaviors among adolescents. Method: The s le included high-school students ( N = 306 51.6% girls) who completed surveys assessing their subjective sense of loneliness (feeling lonely, spending their time alone in school, and reporting a small number of friends), depression symptoms, and NSSI behaviors. Results: Multiple-group structural equation modeling, stratified by gender, supported the hypothesized model. Sense of loneliness was associated with depression symptoms, which in turn were associated with NSSI. Positive school attitudes were associated with depression symptoms only for girls. Results were robust when controlling for the relationships with parents. Limitations: The study is based on cross-sectional data, which limits the ability to make causal conclusions, and the instruments are based on self-report scales. Conclusion: Mental health professional are advised to note the significant role of subjective sense of loneliness in school as a possible risk factor for depression symptoms, which may be associated with NSSI behaviors.

Non-suicidal self-injury within the school context: Multilevel analysis of teachers’ support and peer climate
Publisher: Cambridge University Press (CUP)
Date: 2017
DOI: 10.1016/J.EURPSY.2016.11.003
Abstract: Recent studies regarding non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents have focused primarily on in idual characteristics (e.g., depressive symptoms) and background factors (e.g., parental relationship), whereas less emphasis has been given to the role of school-related factors in NSSI. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to explore the relationships between teachers’ support, peer climate, and NSSI within the school context. The s le consisted of 594 high school students nested within 27 regular classes (54.4% boys mean age 14.96, SD = 1.33 years). The students were evaluated for NSSI behaviors, perception of teacher support, peer climate, relationships with mothers, and depressive symptoms using validated scales. The primary analysis used hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), controlling for gender and age. The main findings indicated that teacher support was positively associated with NSSI at the classroom-level (OR = 6.15, 95% CI = 2.05–18.5) but negatively associated at the student-level (OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.49–0.89). There was a trend toward an association between positive peer climate and NSSI at the classroom-level (OR = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.18–1.05), while negative peer climate was associated with NSSI at the student-level (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.00–1.87). School-related factors are associated with NSSI behaviors among students. Teachers and educators should focus on both in idual-level and classroom-level perceptions of school context. Students who feel supported by their teachers and who are exposed to a positive peer climate are less likely to engage in NSSI.
Did I choose the right university? How post-purchase information affects cognitive dissonance, satisfaction and perceived service quality
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 02-2010
DOI: 10.1016/J.AUSMJ.2009.10.002
Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of post-purchase reinforcement and choice-inconsistent information, the latter of which arouses cognitive dissonance, on consumer satisfaction and perceived service quality (SQ). A field experiment was conducted in which university students are provided with university rankings information that is either consistent with their choice of university (choice-reinforcing) or inconsistent with their choice. It is found that provision of choice-inconsistent information affects neither satisfaction nor perceived SQ. In contrast, while not affecting perceived SQ, provision of post-purchase reinforcement does enhance satisfaction. The paper demonstrates this to result from a reduction in psychological discomfort regarding the choice made, which is the emotional aspect of cognitive dissonance. The paper also finds that both information conditions result in an increase in Word-of-Mouth behaviour compared to a control group. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Inferring future vacation experience preference from past vacation choice: A latent class analysis
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 29-12-2016
Abstract: Tourists make two fundamental decisions when they travel: where to go (destination) and what to do (experience/activity). Whereas the modeling of destination choice behavior has a substantial research history, there has been little research that has sought to model and explain the choice behavior of tourists when deciding what type of vacation experience they wish to undertake. To address this gap, this study investigates how experience types are related with regard to actual past tourism consumption and preferred future experience choice. In order to investigate these relationships, the authors employed latent class modeling on survey data from a s le of respondents who had reported their recent and intended future vacation travel choices and preferences. Despite the acknowledged importance of variety seeking in a tourism choice context, the study found strong evidence for the stability of preferred experiences. In addition, it found insightful patterns of association between experience types.
Modeling Hierarchical Conjoint Processes with Integrated Choice Experiments
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 02-1994
DOI: 10.1177/002224379403100108
Abstract: The authors propose and illustrate an extension of the method of Hierarchical Information Integration (HII). HII allows one to handle large numbers of attributes in conjoint tasks by designing subexperiments that include subsets of attributes. It assumes that in iduals can use general attributes or decision constructs to summarize their impressions of these subsets, which could be clusters of detailed, managerially relevant attributes. The proposed extension involves the design of sub-experiments that include attributes plus summary evaluations of remaining constructs. Advantages are that subexperiments can be analyzed separately but also jointly to estimate one overall preference or choice model a more flexible and easy task is obtained and one can test the assumed hierarchical decision structure. The authors illustrate the approach with an application that models consumer choice of shopping center. In this application, results partially support the hierarchical structure and predictive validity. Finally, the authors discuss implications for further research.

Communication skills training in medical students: do motivational orientations predict changes over time in psychosocial attributes?
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 22-04-2015
DOI: 10.1007/S10459-014-9506-8
Abstract: Perceived psychosocial abilities (i.e., competence in addressing the psychosocial aspects of patient care) and low frustration tolerance (LFT) (i.e., intolerance of physical or emotional discomfort) have been established as significant attributes of experienced medical professionals. We aimed to expand our understanding of the role motivation plays within communication skills training by investigating whether motivation precedes or, conversely, follows psychosocial attributes. According to goal orientations theory, motivation denotes the goals students pursue when engaging in learning tasks. We hypothesized that goal orientations would predict development of psychosocial attributes. More specifically, an adaptive goal orientation (i.e., mastery goal orientation) was expected to predict perceived psychosocial abilities, whereas the maladaptive goal orientations (i.e., performance-approach and avoidance goal orientations) were hypothesized to predict LFT (frustration intolerance). The study spanned two sequential years, in which two cohorts of first-year medical students (N = 151) completed questionnaires at the beginning and end of an annual physician-patient communication course. The questionnaires assessed goal orientations, perceived psychosocial abilities, and LFT. Cross-lagged analyses using Structural Equation Modeling indicated that goal orientations significantly predicted perceived psychosocial abilities, as hypothesized however, LFT predicted maladaptive goal orientation, rather than the other way around. These findings provided further support for the contribution of goal orientations theory within medical education contexts. Medical schools are advised to consider motivational aspects when planning and implementing training programs.

High Expectations: How Tourists Cope With Disappointing Vacation Experiences
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 07-07-2023
DOI: 10.1177/00472875221109828
Abstract: This study investigates how expectations, locus attribution and disappointment determine coping behaviors when tourists encounter a negative vacation experience. Drawing upon cognitive appraisal theory, it is first hypothesized that in iduals with high expectations are more likely to engage in coping behaviors than in iduals with low expectations. Disappointment mediates this relationship. Next it is hypothesized that locus attribution of the negative experience moderates these effects. Results from two scenario-based experiments support the hypotheses. Specifically, attribution has a greater effect on disappointment when the provider is the locus instead of the situation. This is particularly so when expectations are low. Greater amounts of confrontative than support-seeking coping result when expectations are high and the provider is the locus. Instead, there is no difference in coping when expectations are low. These findings suggest that tourist services can influence disappointment and related coping behaviors by managing not only tourists’ expectations but also tourists’ attributions.

Concept of Causality and Conditions for Causality

DOI: 10.1002/9781444316568.WIEM02059
Abstract: The concept of causality has been debated over the centuries but remains one of the most valuable types of knowledge because it tells what can or should be done to obtain a desired consequence or to avoid an undesirable outcome. Causality concerns relationships where a change in one variable necessarily results in a change in another variable. There are three conditions for causality: covariation, temporal precedence, and control for “third variables.” The latter comprise alternative explanations for the observed causal relationship. Spurious relationships occur when covariation between variables suggests a causal effect but where this covariation is, in fact, the result of an underlying shared cause.

The influence of ethnic attributes on ethnic consumer choice of service outlet
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 24-05-2013
DOI: 10.1108/03090561311306930
Abstract: Marketers are increasingly aware of ethnic subgroups as segments to target with customized offers. This paper aims to investigate the role of ethnic‐related outlet attributes in determining the attractiveness of mainstream and ethnic service outlets to ethnic consumers. Based on institutional theory and self‐congruity theory, the paper proposes that two sets of outlet attributes, ethnic‐related and performative attributes, influence the attractiveness of an outlet. These effects are mediated by a business's pragmatic legitimacy, its social legitimacy (in terms of perceived sensitivity to ethnic culture), and the congruity between the consumer's self‐image and the business. A model is proposed and hypotheses derived. They are tested on data from an online survey among 483 Chinese Australian consumers about their use of travel agents. The hypotheses are tested using structural equation modelling. The study reveals that ethnic‐related attributes play a specific and significant role in determining outlet attractiveness for Chinese consumers in Australia. Although they have a smaller effect than service and price, ethnic‐related attributes contribute positively to perceived attractiveness. Of the performative attributes, customer service has the largest effect offering competitive prices has the second largest effect. Outlet accessibility has no significant effect while store atmosphere has an unexpected negative effect. Store atmosphere acts as both a performative and an ethnic‐related attribute. The results confirm the hypothesized mediation effects of pragmatic legitimacy, social legitimacy and congruity. This study contributes to a better understanding of ethnic consumer behaviour and the role of ethnic retail and service outlets in the market place. It provides new insights by drawing from different theoretical frameworks (institutional theory and self‐congruity theory) and conducting an empirical study that uses validated scales in a unique setting among real consumers reporting about their use of a service provider. The results not only demonstrate the role and potential of ethnic attributes, but also how customer service and store atmosphere play a more intricate role than initially expected.
Measuring perceived service quality using integrated conjoint experiments
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 07-2000
DOI: 10.1108/02652320010349049
Abstract: Proposes the use of integrated conjoint experiments to measure perceived service quality. It also demonstrates the process of modelling the hierarchical relations between operationally defined service attributes, strategically relevant service dimensions, and overall preference for banks or banking products. The proposed method, which is based on hierarchical information integration theory, avoids some of the limitations and problems of SERVQUAL and traditional conjoint analysis. The approach is demonstrated with an application to retail banks involving four service dimensions and 28 attributes. Conclusions are drawn about which dimensions and attribute changes will yield the strongest improvements in a bank’s utility and competitive position. The paper ends with a discussion of topics for further research.

Causal Research

Date: 30-09-2010
DOI: 10.1002/9781444316568.WIEM02001
Abstract: Causal knowledge is one of the most useful types of knowledge. Causal research aims to investigate causal relationships and therefore always involves one or more independent variables (or hypothesized causes) and their relationships with one or multiple dependent variables. Causal relationships can be tested using statistical and econometric methods. However, in many cases conclusions about causality are stronger if they can be based on designed experiments. Experiments typically include one or more experimental conditions and a control condition. Random assignment of units to these conditions allows the application of statistical theory to infer the probability of effects being caused by other factors than the designed, manipulated factor. Designing an experiment involves making a series of decisions about, among others, the unit of observation, the setting in which the experiment is to be conducted, the creation of experimental stimuli and observation instruments, the number of conditions to create and how many test units to include, and how to assign units to the conditions. Design types vary based on whether they are quasi‐experimental or true experiments, how many independent factors they include, whether they include all possible conditions or only a subset of conditions, and whether they expose units to single or multiple treatments.
Exploring Particular Facets of Cognitive Emotion Regulation and Their Relationships With Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Among Adolescents
Publisher: Hogrefe Publishing Group
Date: 07-2019
DOI: 10.1027/0227-5910/A000566
Abstract: Abstract. Background: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has been found to be associated with poor emotion regulation. Aims: The goal of this study was to examine the association of multidimensional cognitive emotion regulation strategies with NSSI among adolescents and compare the different patterns of NSSI. Method: A s le of 594 high-school students (54.4% boys mean age = 14.96 years), from five regional schools across Israel, were assessed for five facets of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (acceptance, refocus on planning, positive refocusing, putting into perspective, and positive reappraisal) and NSSI behaviors using validated scales. Participants were allocated into three groups: repetitive NSSI (more than six occasions of NSSI 7.1%), occasional NSSI (at least one incident but less than six 8.3%), and no NSSI (84.6%). Results: Analysis of covariance, controlling for gender and depression symptoms, revealed that students with NSSI reported higher levels of acceptance, but lower levels of refocus on planning and putting into perspective. Limitations: The study used a cross-sectional design, which was a limitation. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that particular cognitive emotion regulation strategies differ substantially in their relationship with NSSI. Adolescents who focus on planning and putting stressful situations into perspective may have increased resilience, whereas adolescents who are accepting of negative events that have happened may be more prone to maladaptive coping behaviors.
Channel benefits portfolio management in the eBusiness era

DOI: 10.1108/13522750410557067
Abstract: The role of channels and their management in the eBusiness era is becoming increasingly important to customer relationship management. Traditional use of the application portfolio approach has been concerned with providing an appropriate basis for making investment decisions about IT applications for the firm. This paper argues that there is a gap between the established IS portfolio application theory and the requirements to support management investment decisions about eBusiness applications Therefore, the paper proposes a channel benefits portfolio (CBP) approach to inform managers' channel investment decisions concerning business‐to‐customer channel interface. The suggested approach provides a conceptual framework and means to facilitate the alignment of the firm's portfolio with their customers' portfolio. The paper reports exploratory findings regarding customer channel preference and customer channel choice behaviour in the information search and purchasing stages during the customer decision‐making process on the basis of the CBP.

A Multipurpose Shopping Trip Model to Assess Retail Agglomeration Effects
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 02-2005
DOI: 10.1509/JMKR.42.1.109.56884
Abstract: Multipurpose shopping is a prominent and relevant feature of shopping behavior. However, no methodology is available to assess empirically how the demand for multipurpose shopping depends on retail agglomeration or, in general, the characteristics of retail supply, such as the numbers and types of stores in a shopping center or the number of categories in a supermarket. The authors propose a nested-logit model that captures retail agglomeration effects on consumer choice of shopping trip purpose (what to buy) and destination (where to buy). The authors estimate parameters representing trip purpose-adjustment and between-store attraction effects on shopping trip data collected from a s le of 1704 households in The Netherlands. Both effects are significant for each of the three categories for which the model is estimated. This is consistent with the idea of agglomeration effects. The findings suggest that agglomeration helps attract not only multipurpose but also single-purpose trips. A comparison of multi- and single-purpose trip model predictions shows that single-purpose models underpredict the number of trips to larger shopping centers.

Predictors of developing mathematics anxiety among middle-school students: A 2-year prospective study
Publisher: Wiley
Date: 04-12-2016
DOI: 10.1002/IJOP.12403
Abstract: While there is an abundance of research pertaining to the development of anxiety disorders, there is still a dearth of knowledge regarding the development of anxiety in the general population. The objective of this study was to longitudinally explore the development of mathematics anxiety among normative middle-school students, and to identify the moderating role of gender, school transition and scholastic achievements on these trajectories. Subjects included 413 sixth grade students (53.3% females, mean age 11.27 ± 0.38 years). Participants were evaluated for their level of anxiety in the context of mathematics, using the Value of Education scale, in four time-points with a 6-month gap between each time-point. Data regarding subjects' grades and school transition were also collected. A growth curve analysis using hierarchical linear modelling revealed that girls, students who transitioned between schools and high achievers (each independently) reported a significant increase in mathematics related anxiety towards the end of sixth grade, which later decreased during seventh grade. The findings of this prospective study on factors affecting the development of mathematics anxiety among normative adolescents may be important in planning focused primary prevention school-based strategies.

Effects of Package Holiday Information Presentation on Destination Choice
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 07-07-2008
Abstract: Holiday travel packaging is an important tool for destination marketing. However, little is known on how presentation of travel package information influences tourists' decisions. This article reports on an experiment that tested whether package information and package heading can influence destination choice. It is hypothesized that destinations with a less favorable image will benefit from being presented in a format with more attribute information and with a price heading. The hypotheses were tested with 200 university students and 200 United Kingdom residents. They were asked to evaluate experimentally designed beach package holidays to Mediterranean destinations. Results show that effects of package presentation format do not differ between less favorable and more favorable image destinations. Variations in package presentation format show similar effects regardless of the destination presented. The student s le shows a higher intention to visit when price is used as the package heading. Implications and avenues for future research are discussed.

Determinants of franchise conversion
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 20-09-2013
Abstract: – Conversion franchising is a strategy where franchisors recruit existing franchisees from rival systems or by converting independent businesses to franchisees. The present research aims to investigate the attractiveness of conversion offers and the likelihood of such offers being accepted under different conditions of the franchising agreement. – Based on commitment theory and agency theory, it is hypothesised that conversion likelihood will be larger if the conversion offer is more attractive in terms of relational benefits, relational costs, the management of control in the franchise relationship, or perception of brand strength. The study comprises a qualitative phase followed by a scenario experiment held among 415 Australian business format franchisees across six industries. – The qualitative findings reveal a predominantly calculative attitude towards the franchise relationship. The experimental findings support that relational costs and perception of brand strength are unconditional drivers of conversion likelihood however, the effects of relational benefits and power and control depend on the details of the conversion offer. Effects of relational benefits depend on the level of power and control. More experienced franchisees and service-based franchisees are more likely to convert. – The use of experimental case scenarios limits the external validity but enhances the internal validity by allowing control for factors that are difficult to account for in survey-based approaches. The study includes only franchisees from Australia although from a range of industries. The proposed methodology can be easily modified for other contexts. – The results can help franchisors tailor conversion proposals to suit specific conversion targets based on experience and industry type. Franchisors should generally focus on developing conversion proposals that are attractive in terms of perceived brand strength and relational costs. Relational benefits and management of power and control appear to play a role only in particular circumstances. For ex le, when no other factors differentiate the competitor, the management of power and control can make a difference in indicating franchise support quality and level of control among franchisees. – The study extends franchising research to the franchisee perspective and to a non-American context. It utilises an experimental approach that hitherto had not been applied in franchising research, allowing rigorous testing of hypotheses about franchise behaviour. Hypotheses are tested for different industry groups.

DOI: 10.1177/146735840200400203
Abstract: This paper aims to identify student preferences for room attributes at university halls of residence. A s le of 152 students at one university in the UK indicated their willingness to pay (WTP) to upgrade various elements of their room and living area. The results indicate that students are willing to pay most for attributes affecting their privacy, followed by convenience-related attributes. Differences between students were found based on their gender and where they spent most of their life. Some implications for the management of halls of residence are presented. In addition, issues concerning the format of questions posed in hospitality research are discussed.

The role of goal structures and peer climate in trajectories of social achievement goals during high school.

DOI: 10.1037/A0038801
Abstract: Students' social goals--reasons for engaging in interpersonal relationships with peers--are consequential for students' interactions with their peers at school and for their well-being. Despite the salience of peer relationships during adolescence, research on social goals is generally lacking compared with academic goals, and it is unknown how these social goals develop over time, especially among high school students. The aim of the study was to assess trajectories of students' social goals and to determine how relevant in idual and contextual variables predicted initial levels and trajectories of students' social goals. Participants were 9th through 12th grade students (N = 526) attending a U.S. high school. Students filled out surveys of their social goals (social development, social demonstration-approach, and social demonstration-avoidance) 6 times across 2 school years. Nonlinear growth curve analyses and piecewise growth curve analyses were used to assess trajectories of social goals across time. Students' initial levels of social goals differed based on their gender, grade level, prior achievement, and perceptions of classroom goals structures and peer climate. Furthermore, despite substantial stability over time, the shapes of these goal trajectories were predicted by students' gender, grade level, and perceptions of classroom goal structures and peer climate. In particular, students who perceived an increase in performance-avoidance classroom goals maintained higher demonstration social goals and decreased in developmental social goals over time, and students who perceived an increase in positive peer climate decreased in demonstration-avoidance social goals. Implications and directions for future research on social goals are discussed.

Modeling Consumer Perception of Public Space in Shopping Centers
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 1999
DOI: 10.1177/00139169921971994
Abstract: This article presents a study of the effects of various shopping center design and management attributes on consumer evaluations of the public space appearance (or atmosphere) in shopping centers. Ex les of such attributes are level of maintenance, area for pedestrians, window displays, street layout, and street activities. A model is estimated from responses to experimentally controlled descriptions of hypothetical shopping centers. This conjoint analysis or stated preference-based model is compared with a similar regression model estimated from a cross section of perceptions of existing shopping centers. The conjoint and cross-sectional models are tested for their external validity on a holdout s le of respondents. It is concluded that both models perform equally well, but that the approach using hypothetical alternatives allows more detailed insight in the effects of the various shopping center attributes.

Mobile coupons: What to offer, to whom, and where?
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 11-05-2015
Abstract: – This paper aims to investigate the redemption of promotional offers in a mobile service context. It specifically studies how mobile coupon redemption depends on the type of product offered, the convenience of accessing a retailer and the consumer’s shopping motivation. Retailers increasingly use mobile coupon services as a complementary channel to send promotional offers to consumers. – Two studies examine how the three factors interact in determining coupon redemption. Both involve a scenario-based experiment. Participants are over 750 members of an online panel in the USA. – The results show that when the retailer offers a hedonic product, consumers’ shopping motivation matters more, whereas when the retailer offers a utilitarian product, consumers’ location dominates their redemption intentions. – One limitation of this research is the use of hypothetical scenarios. Although this limitation was addressed by conducting a quasi-experiment, future research could be carried out using a field experiment. – Results suggest that in a mobile channel, personalization of promotions is more important for utilitarian shoppers than for hedonic shoppers. – Drawing on the theories of regulatory focus and preference for the status quo, this paper posits that mobile coupon redemption is determined by whether the offer requires consumers to ert from their focal shopping motivation (i.e. their status quo). The authors explain this difference by showing the mediating role of regulatory fit.
Why consumers hesitate to shop online: an experimental choice analysis of grocery shopping and the role of delivery fees
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 04-2006
DOI: 10.1108/09590550610660260
Abstract: To find out if and how delivery charge and three other situational factors affect consumers' grocery shopping channel choice. A survey was conducted among a convenience s le of 152 supermarket shoppers in South England. Each respondent was presented with two hypothetical grocery shopping scenarios characterised by four situational factors. Respondents were asked to indicate their preference for shopping online or in‐store in each described situation. They also provided information about their last grocery shopping trip. The results show that all four situational factors affect consumers' shopping channel preference. It was further established that, though of influence, delivery charges are not the most important factor. Fifteen minutes difference in travel time to the grocery store had a greater impact on the relative preference to shop online or in‐store than a delivery fee of £5. Although experimentally controlled, the findings are based on behavioural intentions and not on real market behaviour. Also, they are based on a convenience s le of intercepted shoppers only. Attempts to promote online grocery shopping should focus on communicating the time savings gained by shopping online rather than lowering delivery charges. Only few studies have investigated effects of situational factors, including delivery charges, on consumer channel choice for grocery shopping. Experimental studies are particularly scarce.

Abstract: This commentary discusses how citations, when adopted as benchmarks, influence publication and assessment behaviours of researchers and institutions. It compares benchmarking based on Google Scholar with current research assessment practices, as exemplified by the ERA assessment in Australia. It then discusses the role of journals in the codifying and dissemination of knowledge and how the adoption of citation based assessment changes the status of citations and changes citation behaviours. It is concluded that journals will continue to be important as an intermediary in knowledge creation.
Discretionary Expenditure and Tourism Consumption: Insights from a Choice Experiment
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 02-2007
Abstract: Consumers’ decisions to spend money on tourism occur in the context of the other potential uses of their resources and corresponding values or utilities. Although many studies have examined the demand for travel and tourism, there is no known study that reveals how in iduals and households make trade-offs when allocating their spending among various potential categories of discretionary expenditure. This study assesses these trade-offs empirically through the conduct of a choice experiment on a random s le of Australian consumers. The results provide insight into how each category of discretionary expenditure is valued and how spending in each category competes for a share of the discretionary expenditure “pie.” We discuss the results with an emphasis on the implications for tourism.

Abstract: Information overload is a well-known problem of conjoint choice models when respondents have to evaluate a large number of attributes and/or attribute levels. In this paper we develop an alternative conjoint modelling approach, called pairwise conjoint analysis. It differs from conventional conjoint choice and preference models in that the attributes of choice alternatives or choice contexts are not varied simultaneously, but in pairs. Properties of the design strategy are discussed. The new approach is illustrated by using activity engagement choice as an ex le.
