Children’s Choice of Games: The Influence of Prosocial Tendency and Education-Level
This study employed the uses and gratifications approach to examine children’s choice of gaming genres. The measure of prosocial behavioral tendency was used as an approximation of a child’s offline gratification, and this was related to the exposure to three different genres of games (violent, aggressive and prosocial). The influence of education level was also taken into consideration. Data was compiled and analyzed from a survey conducted on Singaporean schoolchildren (N = 2,640). Overall results supported the supplementary model of gratification seeking behavior. Children with higher prosocial scores spent significantly less time playing violent and aggressive games, whereas children of a higher education level spent more time playing games of all genres. The results are presented and discussed.KeywordsUses and GratificationsGamesProsocial Orientations

It is necessary to transform the social economy through digital technology while also paying attention to the changes in Social Trust (ST) caused by the quality of human education and the impact on human society and economic development. Based on the ST mechanism of blockchain, this paper explores the impact of blockchain on the market scale by taking the scale of market investment and financing as the mapping index. Based on the influence of education level on ST, the development trend of personal education level on ST and trust recognition are investigated by questionnaire survey. The research results show that blockchain’s market size and growth rate still show a rapid growth trend. The use of Blockchain Technology (BT) has increased the trust of traditional society by 47.13%. The ST degree of university education level is between 2.85~3.85. The standard deviation of doctoral ST is the largest. The influence coefficient of university education level on ST is above 0.1 due to the influence of the respondent by the “second type of education” of society, which has a significant impact on ST. The level of education in primary, secondary, and vocational schools does not affect ST, and an increase in the level of education will correspondingly increase the level of ST. This paper analyzes the impact of blockchain and education level on the ST mechanism and promotes the development of BT platforms and operating systems. This paper builds a common trust social relationship platform based on blockchain and next-generation information technology for the current information technology stage to enter a new stage of the digital economy and ST.

The main aim of the paper is to investigate the influence of formal education level on decision-making process when choosing a tourist destination based on multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The survey was conducted on the sample of 252 respondents from Bačka region (Vojvodina/Serbia). Also, this study strives to examine the influence of education level on decision-making process including all five phases of decision-making process: need awareness, information search, alternatives estimation, purchase and purchase evaluation, applied to the process of choosing coastal regions as tourist destinations. The study shows that education level is related to four out of five phases of decision-making process (only in case of need awareness there is no statistically significant difference). This is especially important for creation of a marketing platform with promotional activities adjusted to different market segments differentiated by education level. Moreover, the study discusses differences in behaviour of different educational groups while choosing travel destinations.

The purpose of the study: to analyze the effect of education on the attitude to compliance with the doctor's recommendations by surgical patients.Materials and methods. Information was obtained through an anonymous questionnaire of 401 inpatient patients. Two comparison groups were formed: 221 people had higher or unfinished higher education, and 180 people had secondary or secondary-special education. Among the patients studied, there were no those who had a professional medical education. Three age groups stood out: 23-44 years old, 45-59 years old and 60 years old and older. Since higher education can only be obtained by the age of 22-23 and the use of younger age groups in this case is incorrect.Results. Regardless of gender, the general trend was a decrease in the specific gravity of those who comply with doctor's appointments with increasing age. Among men in all age groups, patients with a high level of education performed prescriptions and recommendations of the doctor more often, than low-education patients, and among women, high-education patients performed physician prescriptions and recommendations more frequently, than patients with low levels of education only in the young and middle age groups, and in the older age group, the proportion of those who always fulfill the prescriptions of a doctor in full among women with a high level of education is reduced by increasing the proportion of those performing the prescriptions of a doctor only if he considers it necessary. The same patterns, in general, are observed in relation to the implementation of the principles of a healthy lifestyle. But in men, the influence of education level is manifested after 45 years and in the middle and older age groups the number of those who perform them only if they consider it necessary increases. In women, the influence of educational level on the frequency of implementation of the principles of a healthy lifestyle is more pronounced in all age groups. Also, like men, with increasing age, the proportion of women who believe that it is necessary to fulfill doctor's appointments only if they themselves consider it necessary.

Background: Several studies report that certain factors such as socioeconomic status, living alone or being alone at onset of symptoms play a role in late arrival at hospitals thereby decreasing the ultimate success of medical interventions for stroke patients. There is little research about the influence of educational level upon early arrival in patients with acute stroke. We hypothesized that higher educational level is associated with early arrivals in patients with acute stroke. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study to evaluate consecutive patients admitted with a new stroke in 19 hospitals in Fortaleza, Brazil, from April 2009 to April 2012. Educational attainment was categorized into 5 levels: no school attendance, less than secondary school graduation, secondary school graduation, bachelor's degree and master's or doctorate degree. Multiple logistic regressions were used to investigate the influence of epidemiologic and clinical data on the frequency of early arrival (defined as hospital arrival within 4.5 hours from symptoms onset). Results: We evaluated 4679 patients (48% males, mean age: 67.67± 14.48). Ischemic stroke was the most frequent subtype (74.9%) followed by intraparenchymal hemorrhage (14.5%), subarachnoid hemorrhage (5.1%), transient ischemic attack (2.8%), and undetermined stroke (2.7%). A total of 1128 (24.1%) patients arrived within 4.5 hours from symptoms onset. Higher educational level was a predictor of early hospital arrival (p= 0.01). Other univariate predictors of early hospital arrival included having a decreased level of consciousness at presentation OR 1.36 [1.17-1.58], p<0.01, having a hemorrhagic stroke OR 1.46 [1.19-1.79] p<0.01, having a transient ischemic attack OR 2.2 [1.50-3.49] and arriving by emergency medical services (EMS) OR 0.37 [0.31-0.44]. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, educational level just remains as an independent predictor of early hospital arrival if arriving by EMS is not included in the model. Conclusions: Educational level is associated with early hospital arrival in patients with acute stroke. The association between educational level and early hospital arrival seems to be mediated by activation of the EMS.

Personal choices can be changed by educating citizens. Education and learning are decisive factors in shaping the society and its spatial forms, where higher education level is an important proxy to assess the awareness level of people about current issues, such as sustainable transportation. Linking education and travel behaviour can inspire future urban policies to provide modal shift towards sustainable modes. The paper aimed to evaluate the influence of education level on mode choices for 45 cities from 29 countries. In general, education level was controlled by population density and GDP per capita, which are the parameters significantly influencing travel behavior. The main result has demonstrated that an increase in the higher education level is connected with dropping the modal share of driving in cities more than any change in other studied factors, while an increase in population density reduces driving more than an increase in GDP per capita. The results have been assessed and it was showed that higher education level considerably affects travel mode choice in cities. Thus, educating citizens is an important path to reduce car dependency.

The aim of this study is to test the psychometric properties and acceptability of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) inpatient satisfaction with care questionnaire 32 (IN-PATSAT32) for evaluating Chinese cancer patients and to analyze the influence of age, educational level, diagnostic time, and tumor stage on patient satisfaction. Three hundred two cancer inpatients in Tianjin Cancer Institution and Hospital from June 2013 to December 2013 were recruited for this study. All participants self-administered the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 and EORTC quality of life questionnaire-core 30 (QLQ-C30). Psychometric evaluation of the validity, reliability, acceptability, as well as the influence of age, educational level, diagnostic time, and tumor stage on patient satisfaction, was conducted. A favorable internal consistency reliability was confirmed, as the Cronbach's α coefficients were >0.80 for all scales in the EORTC IN-PATSAT32, ranging from 0.849 to 0.944. Multi-trait scaling analysis showed that all item-scale correlation coefficients met the standard of convergent validity, and 79.3 % met the standard of discriminant validity. Weak correlations were found between the scales and single items of the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 and EORTC QLQ-C30, proving the validity of EORTC IN-PATSAT32. None of the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 scales were able to discriminate between patients across age categories, while significant influences of educational level on doctors' and nurses' conduct, as well as influences of diagnostic time and tumor stage on nurses' conduct, and information provision scales were discovered. The questionnaire was easily understood with a satisfactory acceptability. The EORTC IN-PATSAT32 appears to be a reliable, valid, and acceptable instrument to use on cancer patients and is appropriate for measuring the patient satisfaction of Chinese patients.
