In this article, the author proposes that consumers use the value of a coupon to estimate price. Study 1 shows that the higher the percentage discount, the higher the perceived price; Study 2 demonstrates this effect with cents-off coupons. Study 3 then demonstrates that the effect is contingent on whether alternate sources of information are available to consumers and examines the consequences of this on deal evaluations and purchase intentions. The author discusses implications for the information value of promotions, along with managerial implications for coupon design and communication.

The foreign economic activity of domestic enterprises of the agricultural sector is characterized by high potential for further development, however, in the current and retrospective perspective does not show significant trends for long-term dynamic growth in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and use a number of scientific proposals that logically follow from the results of the analysis and take into account the national characteristics of doing business in a high level of economic and political instability. One of the directions of scientific research to solve the outlined scientific topical problem is the formation of methodological and applied tools for assessing the development of foreign economic activity of enterprises in the agricultural sector. Today the problem of scientific and economic substantiation of the stages of evaluation of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises and their interpretation is relevant, which allow to influence the solution of specific management problems with the implementation of creative ideas and reduce the cost of their commercialization. The article analyzes the sequence of stages of the process of selecting indicators for evaluating foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises, which, unlike others, describes the procedure for taking into account factors influencing foreign economic activity, criteria for selecting indicators for its analysis, sources of information and analysis of foreign economic activity. indicators with a high level of information value and which will be calculated on the basis of fully available information. Factors detail the search for rational indicators to describe the dynamics of certain processes, as they reflect the relationship between the elements of economic systems. Establishing criteria for selecting FEA evaluation indicators makes it possible to sort out those indicators that are not suitable for monitoring the studied processes. Areas of analysis reflect the nature of the information that should be reflected in the indicators selected for evaluation.

Purpose The purpose of this investigation was to understand the decision-making processes used by parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) related to communication-based interventions. Method Qualitative interview methodology was used. Data were gathered through interviews. Each parent had a child with ASD who was at least four-years-old; lived with their child with ASD; had a child with ASD without functional speech for communication; and used at least two different communication interventions. Results Parents considered several sources of information for learning about interventions and provided various reasons to initiate and discontinue a communication intervention. Parents also discussed challenges introduced once opinions of the school individualized education program (IEP) team had to be considered. Conclusions Parents of children with ASD primarily use individual decision-making processes to select interventions. This discrepancy speaks to the need for parents and professionals to share a common “language” about interventions and the decision-making process.

Spatial selection of relevant information has been proposed to reflect an emergent feature of stimulus processing within an integrated network of perceptual areas. Stimulus-based and intention-based sources of information might converge in a common stage when spatial maps are generated. This approach appears to be inconsistent with the assumption of distinct mechanisms for stimulus-driven and top-down controlled attention. In two experiments, the common ground of stimulus-driven and intention-based attention was tested by means of event-related potentials (ERPs) in the human EEG. In both experiments, the processing of a single transient was compared to the selection of a physically comparable stimulus among distractors. While single transients evoked a spatially sensitive N1, the extraction of relevant information out of a more complex display was reflected in an N2pc. The high similarity of the spatial portion of these two components (Experiment 1), and the replication of this finding for the vertical axis (Experiment 2) indicate that these two ERP components might both reflect the spatial representation of relevant information as derived from the organization of perceptual maps, just at different points in time.

Summary: The aim of the study is to assess the construct validity of two different measures of the Big Five, matching two “response modes” (phrase-questionnaire and list of adjectives) and two sources of information or raters (self-report and other ratings). Two-hundred subjects, equally divided in males and females, were administered the self-report versions of the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ) and the Big Five Observer (BFO), a list of bipolar pairs of adjectives ( Caprara, Barbaranelli, & Borgogni, 1993 , 1994 ). Every subject was rated by six acquaintances, then aggregated by means of the same instruments used for the self-report, but worded in a third-person format. The multitrait-multimethod matrix derived from these measures was then analyzed via Structural Equation Models according to the criteria proposed by Widaman (1985) , Marsh (1989) , and Bagozzi (1994) . In particular, four different models were compared. While the global fit indexes of the models were only moderate, convergent and discriminant validities were clearly supported, and method and error variance were moderate or low.
