Gender Specific

This study examined two potential mechanisms, competence and self-efficacy, that might account for the relationship between helicopter parenting and anxiety symptoms among female university students, and whether any mediating effects differed by parent gender. Structural equation modelling of data collected from 473 undergraduate students showed that both competence and self-efficacy mediated the association between paternal helicopter parenting and female university students’ anxiety symptoms. No mediation effect was found for maternal helicopter parenting. A comparison between paternal and maternal effects revealed that they differed significantly from each other. Specifically, associations between helicopter parenting and female university students’ competence and self-efficacy were much stronger for fathers than for mothers. Implications of the gender-specific findings are discussed in this article, and their importance for prevention and intervention are highlighted.

Structural Innovation

To investigate the relationships between financial constraints, government subsidies, and corporate innovation, a semi-logarithmic fixed-effect panel model and mediation effect test were applied, based on the data of Chinese listed companies from 2007 to 2017. We find that (1) financial constraints suppress corporate innovation. (2) Government subsidies are targeted at bailing out firms facing financial constraints. (3) Government subsidies promote corporate innovation (4) Government subsidies partially offset the suppression of financial constraints on innovation. We contribute to the fields of public finance, corporate finance, and corporate innovation by: (1) justifying the government subsidies target strategy as a bailout of corporate financial constraints, (2) verifying the corporate-innovation promotion of government subsidies, thus justifying the efficiency of government subsidies, and (3) showing that different types of innovation benefit differently from subsidies, thus justifying subsidies as a structural innovation engine.

ABSTRACT ObjectivesTo examine the risk of abuse and neglect for children with different types of disabilities taking into account other existing adversities, including socioeconomic disadvantage, parental mental health issues, etc. ApproachPopulation based record linkage study of all children born between 1990-2010 utilising the Western Australian Register of Developmental Anomalies, the Intellectual Disabilities Exploring Answers database, Health data and Child Protection data. ResultsAfter taking into account existing adversities intellectual disability was associated with the highest risk of a child maltreatment allegation and entering out-of-home care. Further results include risk by level of intellectual disability and causes of disability. ConclusionDifferent disabilities are associated with differing risk of child maltreatment and child protection involvement. Groups that are considered at higher risk require services to identify and address the support needs of this group and determine how prevention and early intervention can lower the risk for child abuse and neglect in this vulnerable group.

BACKGROUND Prior research has demonstrated the efficacy of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) for social anxiety disorder (SAD). However, it is unclear how shame influences the efficacy of this treatment. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the role shame played in the ICBT treatment process for participants with SAD. METHODS A total of 104 Chinese participants (73 females; age: mean 24.92, SD 4.59 years) were randomly assigned to self-help ICBT, guided ICBT, or wait list control groups. For the guided ICBT group, half of the participants were assigned to the group at a time due to resource constraints. This led to a time difference among the three groups. Participants were assessed before and immediately after the intervention using the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS), Social Phobia Scale (SPS), and Experience of Shame Scale (ESS). RESULTS Participants’ social anxiety symptoms (self-help: differences between pre- and posttreatment SIAS=−12.71; Cohen <i>d</i>=1.01; 95% CI 9.08 to 16.32; <i>P</i>&lt;.001 and differences between pre- and posttreatment SPS=11.13; Cohen <i>d</i>=0.89; 95% CI 6.98 to 15.28; <i>P</i>&lt;.001; guided: SIAS=19.45; Cohen <i>d</i>=1.20; 95% CI 14.67 to 24.24; <i>P</i>&lt;.001 and SPS=13.45; Cohen <i>d</i>=0.96; 95% CI 8.26 to 18.64; <i>P</i>&lt;.001) and shame proneness (self-help: differences between pre- and posttreatment ESS=7.34; Cohen <i>d</i>=0.75; 95% CI 3.99 to 10.69; <i>P</i>&lt;.001 and guided: differences between pre- and posttreatment ESS=9.97; Cohen <i>d</i>=0.88; 95% CI 5.36 to 14.57; <i>P</i>&lt;.001) in both the self-help and guided ICBT groups reduced significantly after treatment, with no significant differences between the two intervention groups. Across all the ICBT sessions, the only significant predictors of reductions in shame proneness were the average number of words participants wrote in the exposure module (β=.222; SE 0.175; t<sub>96</sub>=2.317; <i>P</i>=.02) and gender (β=−.33; SE 0.002; t<sub>77</sub>=−3.13; <i>P</i>=.002). We also found a mediation effect, wherein reductions in shame fully mediated the relationship between the average number of words participants wrote in the exposure module and reductions in social anxiety symptoms (SIAS: β=−.0049; SE 0.0016; 95% CI −0.0085 to −0.0019 and SPS: β=−.0039; SE 0.0015; 95% CI −0.0075 to −0.0012). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggest that participants’ engagement in the exposure module in ICBT alleviates social anxiety symptoms by reducing the levels of shame proneness. Our study provides a new perspective for understanding the role of shame in the treatment of social anxiety. The possible mechanisms of the mediation effect and clinical implications are discussed.

The article presents the results of the first representative study of ethical consumption in Russia. The level and profiles of ethical consumption, as well as the main types of ethical consumers have been identified. Factors affecting the partition of individuals into the different types of consumers have been defined using the multinomial logit regression. On this basis, the paper draws implications on the potential and the conditions of expansion of ethical consumption in Russia.

The Relationship

This study aims to examine the mediating effects of five different types of employees’ trust on the relationship between employees’ organizational tenure and their organizational citizenship behaviour. Using data obtained from 163 employees from banking organization located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Structural equation modelling was used to assess the relationship between variables. The Employees Trust Scale and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour Scale were used to measure the variable. The relationship between the variables was analysed by using partial least squares structural equation modelling [PLS-SEM]. Results showed that the direct effect of employee organizational tenure showed a positive but not significant effect towards organizational citizenship behaviour. For the direct effect of employee’s trust towards their organizational citizenship behaviour, the sub scale of integrity and relationship influence organizational citizenship behaviour significantly. The sub scale of integrity shows a negative and significant effect towards organization citizenship, whereas the sub scale of relationship affects organizational citizenship behaviour positively. While, the mediation test showed mediation effect did not exist between employee organizational tenure, employee’s trust, and organizational citizenship behaviour. The final part of analysis indicated the model has adequate predictive relevance.
