Campus data analysis is becoming increasingly important in mining students’ behavior. The consumption data of college students is an important part of the campus data, which can reflect the students’ behavior to a great degree. A few methods have been used to analyze students’ consumption data, such as classification, association rules, clustering, decision trees, time series, etc. However, they do not use the method of sequential patterns mining, which results in some important information missing. Moreover, they only consider the occurring (positive) events but do not consider the nonoccurring (negative) events, which may lead to some important information missing. So this paper uses a positive and negative sequential patterns mining algorithm, called NegI-NSP, to analyze the consumption data of students. Moreover, we associate students’ consumption data with their academic grades by adding the students’ academic grades into sequences to analyze the relationship between the students’ academic grades and their consumptions. The experimental results show that the students’ academic performance has significant correlation with the habits of having breakfast regularly.

This study examined the relationship between explanatory style for positive and negative events in heavy- and moderate-drinking college students. Results indicate no difference between the two drinking groups in explanations for negative events; however, hearvier-drinking subjects did tend to have more global and stable explanations for positive events. In addition, those subjects attached more importance to positive events. Results are discussed in terms of the utility of such a style in avoiding depressed mood. Also discussed is the potential for changing such a belief pattern and the possible implications for the use of the Attributional Style Questionnaire with populations other than those who are depressed.

This study examined the relationship between scores on narcissistic personality traits and causal attributions to positive and negative events. 119 undergraduate students in psychology as participants completed the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-40, the Attributional Style Questionnaire, and several Self-referencing Closed-ended Vignettes. Analyses indicated that men who scored higher on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-40 made more internal and stable attributions to positive events and more external and unstable attributions to negative events than did men who scored lower on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-40. Also scores on the Self-referencing Closed-ended Vignettes correlated significantly and positively with the Attributional Style Questionnaire, providing evidence for the validity of the vignettes.

This study aims to determine the relationship between lonely with narcissistic tendencies. The hypothesis of this study states that there is a negative relationship between lonely with narcissistic tendencies, assuming that the higher the lonely is, the lower the narcissistic tendencies, and conversely the lower the lonely is, the higher the narcissistic tendencies will be. The subjects of this study were 256 college students of Universitas Prima Indonesia. Datas were obtained from scales used to measure turnover intention and work stress. Calculations were performed by testing the analysis requirements (assumption) that consisted of tests for normality and linearity. The data were analyzed using Product Moment Correlation with SPSS 20 for Windows. The results of the data analysis showed that the correlation coefficient was – 0,414 with a significance value of 0.000 (p <0.05). It showed that there is a negative relationship between lonely and narcissistic tendencies. The results of this study indicate that the contributions made by the variable of work stress on turnover intention was 17,2 percent, while the remaining 82,8 percent was influenced by other factors that were not examined. From these results, it is concluded that the hypothesis, which stated that there is a negative relationship between the lonely and narcissistic tendencies, is acceptable.

This study investigates the relationship between the sentiment of news on social media and readers’ emotional response. We analyzed 1946 teaser headlines (‘New life for a dead language, as more public schools offer Latin’) from the Wall Street Journal’s Facebook page and determined their sentiment with the program VADER. We find that emotional headlines lead to more reactions than neutral headlines. The sentiment scores were systematically related to the emoji the readers attached to the headline (respectively those for ‘like’, ‘love’, ‘haha’, ‘wow’, ‘sad’, and ‘angry’). News with a negative sentiment is related to an increase in negative emotional responses by readers (as expressed in the emoji they use, ‘angry’ and ‘sad’) as compared to neutral and positive news. However, positive news does not result in an increase of positive affective responses (e.g., positive emoji) compared to neutral or negatively colored news. These results are in line with earlier positive-negative asymmetry findings, showing that negative events lead to a higher need for action than positive events. They also underscore the complexity of predicting emotional responses, because we also found some unexpected effects, such as the fact that a ‘haha’ response was given to both positive and negative headlines and that ‘wow’ responses were more prevalent with negative news. This study therefore contributes to our understanding of how people use emoji.

Untuk meraih gelar sarjana di perguruan tinggi, mahasiswa diwajibkan untuk menyelesaikan tugas akhir skripsi. Umumnya mahasiswa diberikan waktu untuk penyusunan skripsi selama 1 semester atau kuranglebih 6 bulan. Namun banyak mahasiswa yang memerlukan waktu lebih dari enam bulan untuk mengerjakan skripsi[5]. Hal ini berakibat pada masa studi mahasiswa yang menjadi lebih lama dari yang seharusnya. Salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan keterlambatan mahasiswa dalam menyusun skripsi adalah prokrastinasi akademik. Prokrastinasi akademik ini terkait dengan self efficacy yang dimiliki mahasiswa. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian korelasional yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara self efficacy dengan prokrastinasi akademik pada mahasiswa Universitas Sumatera Utara yang sedang menyusun skripsi. Menurut Steel (2007) prokrastinasi adalah menunda dengan sengaja kegiatan yang diinginkan walaupun individu mengetahui bahwa perilaku penundaan tersebut dapat menghasilkan dampak buruk. Prokrastinasi akademik merupakan prokrastinasi yang terjadi pada bidang akademik. Prokrastinasi yang dilakukan berkaitan dengan menunda untuk memulai dan menyelesaikan skripsi. Prokrastinasi akademik berkaitan dengan keyakinan dari dalam diri mahasiswa akan kemampuan yang dimiliki untuk mengerjakan tugas (dalam hal ini adalah penyusunan skripsi). Keyakinan seseorang akan kemampuannya oleh Bandura (2001) disebut sebagai self efficacy. Sampel penelitian ini adalah 307 mahasiswa USU yang sedang menyusun skripsi. Data diambil dengan menggunakan skala self efficacy yang disusun berdasarkan dimensi- dimensi self efficacy [1] dan skala prokrastinasi akademik berdasarkan aspek-aspek prokrastinasi akademik [6]. Hasil analisa data menunjukkan adanya hubungan negatif antara self efficacy dengan prokrastinasi akademik pada mahasisa USU yang sedang menyusun skripsi (r = -0.335, p = 0.000).   To get a bachelor's degree in college, students are required to complete the thesis final assignments. Generally, students are given time for the preparation of a thesis for 1 semester or approximately 6 months. But many students need more than six months to work on a thesis [5]. This results in the study period of students becoming longer than they should. One of the factors that causes student delays in preparing a thesis is academic procrastination. Academic procrastination is related to student self-efficacy. This research was a correlational study that aimed to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and academic procrastination in University of Sumatera Utara students who were preparing a thesis. According to Steel (2007) procrastination is to deliberately delay the desired activity even though the individual knows that the delaying behavior can produce adverse effects. Academic procrastination is procrastination that occurs in the academic field. Procrastination is carried out in connection with delaying starting and completing a thesis. Academic procrastination is related to the confidence in the student's ability to do the task (in this case the preparation of the thesis). A person's belief in his ability by Bandura (2001) is referred as self-efficacy. The sample of this study was 307 USU students who were preparing a thesis. Data were taken using the scale of self-efficacy which was compiled based on the dimensions of self-efficacy [1] and the scale of academic procrastination based on aspects of academic procrastination [6]. The results of data analysis showed a negative relationship between self-efficacy and academic procrastination of USU's students who were preparing a thesis (r = -0.335, p = 0.000).

Every day for 3 weeks, a sample of college students described the events that occurred each day and provided measures of their self‐esteem, depressogenic thinking and mood. They also provided measures of depressive symptoms and the social support they perceived from friends and family members. A series of multilevel random coefficient modelling analyses found that daily well‐being was positively related to the number of positive events that occurred each day and was negatively related to the number of negative events. Relationships between well‐being and positive events were stronger for more than for less depressed participants and relationships between well‐being and negative events were weaker for participants who perceived more support from friends than for those who perceived less support. Depression was unrelated to the strength of relationships between negative events and well‐being, and the social support from friends was unrelated to relationships between positive events and well‐being. Surprisingly, relationships between negative events and well‐being were stronger for participants who perceived more support from family members than for those who perceived less support.

This article addresses the scholarly debate on the relationship between interstate rivalry and military capacity. We draw on Tilly's bellicist theory of state formation in early modern Europe and Thies’ modifications to predatory theory, which prioritizes the role of interstate rivalry on state building, to explain variation in military capacity. We unpack the rivalry mechanism into spatial and positional rivalries and test how these two types of rivalry affect military capacity, and how positional rivalries affect military capacity in the long-term. Using time-series cross-sectional data analysis, we find that positional rivalries increase military capacity in the long term. Also, we find that spatial rivalry influences military capacity in the long-term, but its effects are uneven across indicators of military capacity, and it has a smaller effect on military capacity in comparison to positional rivalries. We conclude that not all types of rivalries have a uniform effect on military capacity and that competition over regional dominance, that is, positional rivalries, are the most impactful on military capacity. This study offers a more nuanced test of Tilly's bellicist theory and Thies’ modified predatory theory on state capacity.

The purpose of this research is to study the relationship among Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) features on students' perceived motivational support and cognitive investment. The research used a multiple regression for data analysis across a sample of 200 students in to a public higher learning institution in Federal Territory of Labuan Malaysia. Their participation was purely voluntary. Empirical analysis via multiple regressions confirmed that students' perceived motivational support and cognitive investment was influenced positively by Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) features. The results may be used to inform higher education institutes students' on how to design DGBL for the college students. How the DGBL works on college students' perceived motivational support and cognitive investment. The results of this study offers a new forward motion to the findings of prior studies on develop a consolidated design model to consider all identified empirical relationships in order to support efficient DGBL in higher education.

Introduction: This research was aimed to determine the relationship pattern of rainfall, humidity, and rainy day on the increase in pepper yield in North Sumatra. Materials and Methods: This research used the time-series data on factors of rainfall, humidity, rainy day, and yield of pepper for 14 years (2005 until 2018). Data analysis used the multiple linear regression analysis with the Eviews 10 software. Results: The rainfall, humidity, and rainy day simultaneous significantly increased the pepper yield of 55.767% in North Sumatra. A 1% increase in humidity can increase the pepper yield by 0.455 ton, but a 1 mm.year-1 increase in rainfall and a 1 rainy day can decrease the pepper yield in North Sumatra by 0.503 and 1.866 ton, respectively. The humidity had the value positive, meanwhile rainfall and rainy day had the value negative in pepper yield.
