PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop and test a theoretical model that accounts for an individual's we-intention to continue playing a mobile multiplayer game.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on habit-intention and habit formation theories, this study conceptualizes social play habit as a determinant of the we-intention to continue playing and identifies its antecedents. The proposed model was tested through a survey of 277 players of Honor of Kings, a popular mobile multiplayer game.FindingsThe results indicate that developing social play habit is critical to the formation of a we-intention to continue playing in the context of mobile multiplayer games. The results also suggest that technological (social features embedded in the game) and individual (desire for co-play and privacy concerns) factors jointly influence social play habit.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to the literature on we-intention by conceptualizing social play habit and verifying its role in facilitating a shared intention to continue playing mobile multiplayer games. Our work responds to the call for understanding the mechanism by which multiple people form a shared intention to continue using an information technology at a collective level. Our findings provide significant insights into the design of information technologies for collaboration.Originality/valueThis study is among the first to extend the literature on gaming habits by considering other players' involvement. Specifically, our study shifts researchers' attention from gaming habits characterized by individual properties to social gaming habits characterized by communal properties.

It has been shown for some time that it is possible to obtain images of small unstained proteins, with a resolution of approximately 5Å using dark field electron microscopy (1,2). Applying this technique, we have observed a uniformity in size and shape of the 2-dimensional images of pure specimens of fish protamines (salmon, herring (clupeine, Y-l) and rainbow trout (Salmo irideus)). On the basis of these images, a model for the 3-dimensional structure of the fish protamines has been proposed (2).The known amino acid sequences of fish protamines show stretches of positively charged arginines, separated by regions of neutral amino acids (3). The proposed model for protamine structure (2) consists of an irregular, right-handed helix with the segments of adjacent arginines forming the loops of the coil.

This paper focuses on explaining how individuals set goals on multiple performance episodes, in the context of performance feedback comparing their performance on each episode with their respective goal. The proposed model was tested through a longitudinal study of 493 university students’ actual goals and performance on business school exams. Results of a structural equation model supported the proposed conceptual model in which self-efficacy and emotional reactions to feedback mediate the relationship between feedback and subsequent goals. In addition, as expected, participants’ standing on a dispositional measure of behavioral inhibition influenced the strength of their emotional reactions to negative feedback.

Intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations (IFPRs) have the natural ability to reflect the positive, the negative and the non-determinative judgements of decision makers. A decision making model is proposed by considering the inherent property of IFPRs in this study, where the main novelty comes with the introduction of the concept of additive approximate consistency. First, the consistency definitions of IFPRs are reviewed and the underlying ideas are analyzed. Second, by considering the allocation of the non-determinacy degree of decision makers’ opinions, the novel concept of approximate consistency for IFPRs is proposed. Then the additive approximate consistency of IFPRs is defined and the properties are studied. Third, the priorities of alternatives are derived from IFPRs with additive approximate consistency by considering the effects of the permutations of alternatives and the allocation of the non-determinacy degree. The rankings of alternatives based on real, interval and intuitionistic fuzzy weights are investigated, respectively. Finally, some comparisons are reported by carrying out numerical examples to show the novelty and advantage of the proposed model. It is found that the proposed model can offer various decision schemes due to the allocation of the non-determinacy degree of IFPRs.

The transformation of China's design innovation industry has highlighted the importance of design research. The design research process in practice can be regarded as the process of knowledge production. The design 3.0 mode based on knowledge production MODE2 has been shown in the Chinese design innovation industry. On this cognition, this paper establishes a map with two dimensions of how knowledge integration occurs in practice based design research, which are the design knowledge transfer and contextual transformation of design knowledge. We use this map to carry out the analysis of design research cases. Through the analysis, we define four typical practice based design research models from the viewpoint of knowledge integration. This method and the proposed model can provide a theoretical basis and a path for better management design research projects.

У статті визначено актуальність та необхідність розробки і впровадження сучасних комплексних програм психологічної корекції для дошкільників з гіперактивним розладом і дефіцитом уваги (ГРДУ). Підкреслено неможливість надання ефективної допомоги дітям з ГРДУ без урахування їх особливих потреб, пов’язаних з освітою. Обґрунтовано теоретичні засади суб’єкт-орієнтованої моделі психокорекції гіперактивності дошкільників шляхом синтезу патогенетичного і психолого-педагогічного підходів на базі принципу інтегральної суб’єктності З. С. Карпенко. Запропонована модель психокорекції гіперактивності пояснює гальмування і деформацію психосоціального розвитку дошкільника затримкою розвитку його суб’єктності в сенсомоторному, атенціональному, мнемічному, афективно-конативному, мовленнєвому, комунікативному аспектах. Аргументовано необхідність здійснення комплексного підходу до психологічної корекції, виховання і навчання гіперактивних дошкільників і впровадження спеціальних програм психоедукації для батьків. The paper highlights the topicality and need for elaboration and implementation of up-to-date comprehensive programs of psychological correction for preschool children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Failure to provide effective aid for children with ADHD without regard to their special educational needs has been underlined. Theoretical foundations of the subject-oriented model of psychocorrection of preschool children’s hyperactivity by means of synthesis of pathogenic and psychological-pedagogical approaches on the basis of Z. S. Karpenko’s principle of integral subjectivity have been validated. The proposed model of psychocorrection of hyperactivity explains developmental impairment and deformation of psychosocial development of preschoolers by a delay of their subjectivity in terms of sensomotor, attentional, mnemic, affective-conative, speech and communicative aspects. The need for actualization of a complex approach towards psychological correction, upbringing and education of hyperactive preschoolers and implementation of special programs of psychological education for parents has been reasoned.
