The moderating role of environmental knowledge in influencing sustainable consumption intention of Generation Z through Personal Norms, Social Norms, And Environmental Awareness

As the world grapples with the pressing challenge of sustainable development, it has become increasingly vital to understand the factors that influence consumption behavior. Generation Z, in particular, has emerged as a pivotal demographic in advancing sustainable consumption practices. This study investigates how Personal Norms, Social Norms, and Environmental Awareness influence Generation Z’s intentions regarding sustainable consumption while examining the moderating role of environmental knowledge in these dynamics.Data were gathered through in-person interviews with 395 students from Osmaniye Korkut Ata University in Turkey. The results reveal that Social Norms (β = 0.329, p = 0.000), Personal Norms (β = 0.265, p = 0.000), and environmental awareness (β = 0.178, p = 0.000) have a positive impact on sustainable consumption practices, with social norms exerting the most decisive influence.Furthermore, the findings indicate that individuals with high environmental knowledge and strong personal values are more likely to consume sustainably. In contrast, those who are significantly influenced by the behaviors of their peer groups do not show substantial differences in their consumption intentions based on their level of environmental knowledge.

Life in Perpetual Overdraft: Are Poor Households Doomed to Always be in Debt?

AbstractIn the last decade, the phenomena of using excessive credit has developed fast. Long-lasting household debt can jeopardize the personal well-being of every member of the household. Most existing research focuses on economic situations to explain the reason that households frequently use overdraft services. The aim of this study is to broaden the scope of the research of the overdraft phenomenon by building a theoretical model which integrates economic factors together with personal psychological traits and external social influence. Qualitative research was used that included in-depth interviews of 29 urban salaried employees. Results showed that economic factors were a significant contributor in explaining overdraft use. Yet social influencing factors, especially the past financial behaviour of the parents and the children’s social demands, were found to have a large effect on the tendency to use overdraft services regularly. Personality traits, mainly locus of control and self-control, added enlightenment to understanding this phenomenon. Through identification of these factors, appropriate preventive steps can be taken by institutions and individuals to reduce the use of surplus credit in ways that lead to harm to the household.

Does Personality Influence the Quality of Life of Patients with Brain Tumors Treated with Radiotherapy?

Background: Understanding the role of personality traits in shaping treatment outcomes is crucial given the multifaceted challenges posed by brain tumors and the significant adverse impact of radiotherapy (RT) on patients' well-being. Purpose: This study aimed to provide insights into how personality traits affect psychosocial well-being and quality of life during RT in patients with high-grade malignant brain tumors. Methods: Personality traits in patients with high-grade glioma were assessed using the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised (EPQ-R). Quality of life was analyzed using EORTC questionnaires: the Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and the Brain Cancer Module (QLQ-BN20). Patients were evaluated before RT, immediately after 6 weeks of RT, and 3 months post-RT. Results: Neuroticism predicted emotional function only three months post-RT. Extraversion decreased quality of life in global health status (third assessment), role function (second assessment), and emotional function (second and third assessments) but improved cognitive (first assessment) and social function (second assessment). The trait associated with lying was linked to a better quality of life in all domains except physical and cognitive function. Anxiety predicted a lower quality of life in brain tumor patients across all domains at various stages of RT treatment. Conclusions: This study advances our understanding of the psychosocial aspects of brain tumor care by highlighting the influence of personality traits on quality-of-life outcomes during RT. Identifying high-grade glioma patients at greater risk of a diminished quality of life based on personality profiles allows healthcare professionals to tailor interventions to address specific psychosocial needs, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and holistic care during oncological treatment.

The role of breed versus personality and other demographic factors in predicting chasing behaviour in dogs

Dogs chase for many reasons, in play, when hunting and potentially to remove a threat. However, assumptions are often made as to why dogs chase particular targets, for example breed or personality are often used as explanations. Little research has investigated chasing behaviour except in relation to predation, therefore we aimed to determine dog-related characteristics predictive for chasing in relation to specific targets, with a particular emphasis on the relative role of breed versus personality, two specific and measurable constructs. An online survey for dog owners about their dog’s chasing habits yielded 903 usable responses. Wildlife, cats and other dogs were the most frequently chased targets and the influence of personality and breed varied with each target. Trait level impulsivity significantly affected the likelihood of a dog chasing targets such as vehicles and cyclists, while components of positive activation (reward sensitivity) affected the likelihood of individuals chasing household appliances and objects in the wind. Considering breed, German Shepherds were more likely to chase cats and things blown in the wind while Border Collies were more likely to chase vehicles and household appliances. Labrador Retrievers were less likely to chase horses, vehicles and joggers. These results shed light on the motivational and emotional basis of chasing, and its heterogeneity in relation to different targets.

Sciatic nerve injury treated by acupuncture: a bibliometric study and visualization analysis.

Sciatic nerve injuries often lead to severe pain and motor dysfunction, causing serious impact on patients' quality of life. Acupuncture, as one of the main therapies in traditional Chinese medicine, is gradually gaining attention in the field of nerve injury due to its potential role in pain relief and nerve repair. Bibliometric and scientific knowledge mapping methods were employed to analyze the current research status, hotspots, and development trends of acupuncture for sciatic nerve injury (SNI) over the past decade. A literature search was conducted on acupuncture for SNI from the China Knowledge (CNKI), Wanfang, Weipu (VIP), and Web of Science (WOS) databases, and CiteSpace V6.R6 software and VOSviewer1.6.20 software were employed to analyze and visualize keywords from the collaborative network, keyword co-occurrence, and keyword timeline, respectively. Keyword emergence was analyzed and visualization maps were drawn. A total of 907 articles were included in the Chinese database, while 78 articles were included in the WOS database. The leading institutions of the literature in Chinese and English were the Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Institute of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, respectively. Ma Tieming is the most influential person in the field. A keyword analysis of the Chinese and English literature revealed that Huanjiu and Huizhong points are commonly used and that acupuncture is often applied with drug therapy, physical therapy, and rehabilitation training, which can improve the treatment effect comprehensively. Additionally, the therapeutic mechanism of acupuncture mainly promotes nerve regeneration and repair through the modulation of cytokines and related signaling pathways. Electroacupuncture and neuropathic pain are cutting-edge research topics in this field. Based on the keyword emergence, it is predicted that future studies will continue to focus on acupuncture treatment, functional recovery after SNI, and spinal cord injury, which may become the research hotspots in this field. In addition, future studies could further delve into the selection and physiological mechanisms of acupuncture points and validate the effectiveness of this acupuncture and its integrative therapeutic strategies through a wider range of clinical practices. This study uses visualization software VOSviewer and CiteSpace to provide the current status and trends in SNI of acupuncture over the past decade and predicts potential research frontiers and hot directions.

Exploring the Influence of Personality on Attitudes towards Piri-Muridi Relationship: A Mediation Analysis of Belief Systems

Despite its prevalence in Pakistan, Piri-Muridi remains a neglected area of scientific inquiry. This study seeks to fill this knowledge gap by exploring the personality characteristics that facilitate engagement in Piri-Muridi practices, with a particular focus on the mediating role of the Big Five personality traits. A cross-sectional, quantitative design was employed to investigate the relationship between personality traits, as measured by the NEO-PI-R, and Piri-Muridi beliefs, with a particular focus on the moderating role of demographic variables. The study utilized the Urdu version of the NEO-PI-R and the Piri-Muridi scale developed by Hassan and Kamal (2010), collecting data from a sample of 401 individuals with diverse beliefs about the Piri-Muridi institution, selected through snowball sampling. The results of this investigation provide novel insights into the relationship between personality traits and attitudes towards Piri-Muridi, with neuroticism emerging as the most significant predictor. The study's findings also underscore the importance of considering demographic factors, such as gender and marital status, in understanding this relationship. This investigation yields important implications for the field of psychology, particularly in the context of the psychology of religion, by elucidating the complex relationships between personality factors, spiritual practices, and mental health outcomes.

Key Factors Shaping Purchase Intentions for New Energy Vehicles in Urumqi, China

Due to the increasing awareness of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in China, there has been a notable shift in consumer behavior, with more individuals choosing to purchase new energy vehicles (NEVs) as their personal transportation. In response, the Chinese government has implemented policies to encourage NEV adoption. This study uses Urumqi as a sample area to examine the impact of personal preferences, social influences, and government policies on consumer behavior, specifically the intention to purchase NEVs in China. The research is based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The findings reveal that consumer behavior in adopting NEVs is significantly influenced by social factors, including peer attitudes and behaviors, along with government support policies.

Auditors' Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence, Institutional Pressure, and Auditor Personality on Audit Quality

This study analyses the effect of Artificial Intelligence, institutional pressure, and auditor personality on audit quality. The respondents were 84 auditors at Public Accounting Firms in Surabaya. This research is motivated by the inconsistency of previous research results. In addition, AI, which has begun commonly used by auditors to assist in audit tasks, has become the focus of new research. Auditors' perceptions may differ in accepting that AI will provide benefits or cause disruption during the audit process. Empirical results show that institutional pressure and auditor personality influence audit quality, while the use of AI does not affect audit quality. Although AI can help answer various questions, it's not always directly correlated with audit quality. This research show that managers at public accounting firms need to consider the presence of AI to increase the speed and quality of auditor work. However, they also need to organize and plan AI adoption to avoid unsatisfactory results. In addition, managers must also choose skilled professional auditors who can integrate with AI systems to improve company performance and reduce the risk of misuse of AI systems. In practice, managers still really need to consider personality in the auditor profession and use it as an indicator for assessing quality. In addition, auditors' perception of institutional pressure will improve audit quality if they perceive such pressure as a driving factor for performance quality.

The Experience of Success and Failure of Gifted Students at School

The education of gifted students is often characterized by high expectations, ambitious goals, and significant effort invested in learning. Their experiences of success and failure are shaped by a variety of factors, including personal, family, school, cultural, and social influences. This article examines how gifted students perceive and experience their own successes and failures, as well as how these experiences are perceived and responded to by their peers. Using qualitative methods, the study involved semi-structured interviews with thirty gifted students from seventh to ninth grades across ten elementary schools in Slovenia. The findings indicate that gifted students experience a range of emotions in response to success, from satisfaction to anxiety, while their reactions to failure often involve frustration and self-criticism. Peer responses to their success and failure vary significantly, ranging from supportive encouragement to jealousy and social exclusion. These findings highlight the complex interpersonal dynamics at play within school environments. Understanding and addressing these dynamics is crucial for creating inclusive, supportive, and stimulating learning environments that nurture both the academic and social-emotional well-being of gifted students.

Language anxiety mediates the link between Agreeableness and self-perceived foreign language skills

The influence of personality, though overt in the mother tongue, may not be easily detected in foreign language (FL) learning, due to the change of language obscuring the clarity of universally observable influences. Hence, the research on the relationship of the personality trait of Agreeableness with FL attainment has not rendered reliable results. Consequently, the main aim of this research was to expose the role of Agreeableness in shaping self-perceived FL skills, considering the explanatory role of language anxiety. The participants were 590 secondary grammar school students (383 females and 207 males). The results of the mediation analysis revealed that the significant positive relationship between Agreeableness and self-perceived levels of FL skills is cancelled by the mediation of language anxiety. It follows that high levels of this negative emotion may destroy the agreeable learner’s estimation of their FL abilities by drawing their attention away from the importance of positive social contacts with peers and teachers, fuelled by the social character of the FL learning process. Thus, the influence of the characteristics embedded in Agreeableness, such as getting along with others in a group, lose their importance when language anxiety, ubiquitous in the FL process, comes into play.

An investigation into the dynamicity of pre-service language teachers’ well-being trajectories: a classroom-based study

ABSTRACT Research consistently shows that teachers with satisfactory well-being are significantly more effective in their teaching, highlighting the crucial role of teacher well-being for learners’ educational outcomes. However, despite significant research efforts dedicated to investigating the well-being of both in-service and pre-service teachers, relatively little is known about their short-term fluctuations in well-being. Similarly, limited attention has been devoted to understanding how pre-service language teachers manage their well-being during critical moments of their training programmes. To address these gaps, this classroom-based study adopted an ecological approach to examine micro-scale changes in well-being of four prospective language teachers in Poland. The participants’ well-being trajectories were tracked using graphs over a six-week period, with measurements conducted during lectures and after individual microteaching sessions. The data were also drawn from weekly in-depth interviews and were further subjected to inductive thematic analysis. The findings provided further evidence for the dynamic nature of pre-service language teachers’ well-being, as the respondents’ trajectories exhibited significant variability both during and in between individual sessions. The participants’ well-being fluctuated in response to various personal, social, and contextual influences, including efficacy beliefs, insufficient technological literacy, classroom climate, training programme specifications and requirements, low professional awareness, and the lecturer’s instructional choices.

Exploring the Influence Factors of the Monarch’s Personality on the King and Parliament

The monarch’s personality was a pivotal factor in the dynamic between the king and Parliament from 1603 to 1702, the contributions of many Historians such as John Morrill and Mark Kish Lansky are particularly noteworthy. In the context of 17th century England, where the relationship between the king and Parliament evolved from collaboration to confrontation, this study delves into the role of monarchal personalities. The research focuses on the Stuart monarchs and Oliver Cromwell, examining their personalities as pivotal factors in political decision-making and power struggles. Utilizing historical analysis, the study employs a multidisciplinary approach, considering political, economic, and religious perspectives to assess the influence of personality on political development. The findings reveal that each monarch’s personality significantly impacted parliamentary relations. However, the research concludes that these personalities were shaped by the interaction between the monarch, Parliament, and the populace. The dynamic balance of political power was influenced not only by individual traits but also by a complex interplay of social structure, economic interests, legal traditions, and the international environment.
