Group Affiliation

I report the results of an experiment designed to investigate the influence of noncredible communications and group affiliation on auditors' formation of self-serving bias. I find that manager-subjects use noncredible communications to induce auditors to develop an unwarranted trust of managers (i.e., a biased judgment). However, the bias is neutralized when auditor-subjects belong to groups that create social pressure to conform to group norms. Thus, my finding calls into question the Bazerman et al. (1997) conclusion that auditors cannot conduct impartial audits due to self-serving biases resulting from repeated interactions between auditors and their clients.

In some Asian countries, households import young women from poorer countries to work as live-in caregivers and maids. These caregivers are typically less educated than the child’s mother, so academic performance may suffer. The effects of ever having a foreign maid, a private tutor or a working mother are examined for Malaysian teenagers. Contrary to expectations, those ever having a foreign maid perform better in school examinations, recent private tutoring has positive impacts but earlier tutoring does not, and there is little effect of maternal employment. These results suggest no adverse effects on human capital from outsourcing household production.

In recent decades, consumers begin shifting in the use of healthy products, since people are starting to become aware of the adverse effects caused by synthetic chemicals for health. Several studies that show the global demand for organic products has risen annually, including organic personal care, that has become an inevitable trend. While women are willing to pay more on organic personal care brands, they have doubts about issues related to the ingredients of brands that promise to be all organic. This study aims to measure the influences between barriers towards organic personal care consumption among 400 young women in Jabodetabek and Bandung with the use of Innovation Resistance Theory (IRT). The research was conducted using questionnaires and analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, with SmartPLS Software. The results indicate that usage barrier, value barrier, tradition barrier have positively and significantly affected organic personal care products consumption, except for risk barriers and image barriers which have insignificant effects. These findings might be useful to create business strategies for organic personal care SMEs in Indonesia, by taking more attention towards the indicator aspect on usage barriers, value barriers and tradition barriers.

Background: Neurofibromatosis may present with different skin lesions. Disfiguring lesions on the face might be challenging for the surgeon or clinician to correct and may have adverse effects on patients' social lives, especially in young women. Objective: To present the dermabrasion technique combined with serial excisions of a deeper accompanying lesion to treat superficial facial lesions in a young neurofibromatosis patient. Methods: Dermabrasion was applied to superficial lesions on the face, and staged excision was applied to the deeper lesion located on the forehead. Results: We obtained high patient satisfaction with the result. The deep lesion was excised totally, and superficial lesions were decreased with dermabrasion. Conclusion: Dermabrasion may become a good alternative in cases of neurofibromatosis with superficial facial lesions.

Fat Talk

The purpose of this chapter is to study how young women in a Swedish context construct their body by writing about eating disorders in blogs. Connected to the body and eating disorders a construction of girlhood can be seen. The blogs studied are all part of the online community ungdomar.se. The chapter begins with a background to eating disorders, blogs and girlhood and youth in a cultural context. The main focus is on examples from thirteen blogs. The content and typographical emphasis in the blogs are analysed and discussed. The study shows that the process of becoming or constructing a certain body and blogging is both social and collective because of the interaction between the blogger, the community and blog commentators. The body is not only constructed by teenaged girls by striving to a certain type of a female body, but also by mastering the talk about one’s own body, dissatisfaction with it and by typographical emphasises in the blogs.
