This paper presents and discusses a structural equation model on hydrogen acceptance. This model unravels the direct and indirect effects among personal characteristics, knowledge about hydrogen, perceptions, attitudes, and willingness to use hydrogen applications. In addition, indicators of differently colored information that can be provided by mass media have been included as explanatory variables. The estimated model indicates that colored information directly influences perceptions of hydrogen and indirectly influences attitudes about hydrogen and willingness to use it. In particular, negatively colored information decreases hydrogen acceptance, which cannot be counterbalanced by providing positively colored information. Furthermore, the model suggests that more factual knowledge about hydrogen increases its acceptance. The paper further discusses the likely development of hydrogen acceptance in the future and how practitioners can influence this.

IntroductionThe inter-relationships of neurocognition, social cognition, residual psychopathology and real-life functioning are poorly understood. A large multicenter study was carried out by the Italian Network for Research on Psychoses to model relationships between neurocognitive deficits, psychopathology and real-life functioning, taking into account the role of functional capacity and social cognition.MethodsA structural equation model was used to investigate direct and indirect effects of neurocognition and psychopathology on real-life functioning. Social cognition and functional capacity were modeled as mediators.ResultsIn 921 patients with schizophrenia, neurocognition had both direct and indirect effects, through functional capacity and social cognition, on real-life functioning. Neurocognition predicted to a large extent social cognition on which depression and disorganization had a modest effect. Social cognition showed a significant direct impact on real-life functioning.ConclusionOur results support a strong link between neurocognition and functional outcome, independent of psychopathology. Social cognition accounted for unique incremental variance in real-life functioning.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Entrepreneurial Activities

Continuing failures of financial capitalism across borders have led corporation to develop a more balanced economic growth model of transformational entrepreneurship that emphasises both short-term economic and longer-term social impacts. The model encourages entrepreneurial activities that bring major changes in the related markets and industries, as well as changes in society and culture. At the corporate level, transformational entrepreneurship prepares employees for any potential changes induced by a dynamic environment; it also improves the psychological capital of individual employees, and effective transformational entrepreneurship can eventually accelerate performance. The purpose of this study is to investigate (1) the direct and indirect effects of transformational entrepreneurship on readiness for change, psychological capital and employee performance, and (2) how the effects to readiness for change and psychological capital influence employee performance. The study data were collected using questionnaires completed by employees in 257 branches of a state-owned bank with locations throughout Indonesia. The data were analysed using the structural equation model. The results show that transformational entrepreneurship significantly and positively influences readiness for change, psychological capital, and employee performance and that readiness for change and psychological capital significantly and positively influences employee performance. Additionally, the effect of transformational entrepreneurship on employee performance is more significant if it is related to psychological capital than to readiness for change or to aspects of employee performance unrelated to transformational entrepreneurship. These findings enrich our understanding of transformational entrepreneurship and its value related to the direct and indirect effects on variables such as readiness for change, psychological capital and employee performance.

To improve the efficiency of 21st century learning and promote achievements, this paper studies the influence of the growth mindset on students and teachers. This study aims to develop the growth mindset scale with the evidence of structural validity, the measurement of direct and indirect effects of the Chinese context. To achieve the research objective, this study investigated 654 participants, including 321 students at different learning stages and 266 teachers from primary and secondary schools. In the investigation, using SPSS 25.0 and Mplus8.3, we conducted exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), structural equation model (SEM), mediation analysis, and one-way ANOVA method to achieve the study aim. <br>

Fit Index

Personal and family factors impacting directly and/or indirectly on academic achievement of a total of 751 eighth grade pupils were assessed. Six achievement tests, as well as pupil and parent questionnaires were used for generating empirical data. A structural equation model was used to test the model's applicability. Path analysis yielded a comparative fit index of .97. Prior achievement, gender, and academic self-concept were found to have highly significant direct impacts on achievement, while academic self-concept, family size, parent education, and family cultural context exhibited indirect effects on achievement. The overall effect of academic self-concept increased significantly over and above the direct and indirect effects. The intervariables effects provided additional insights into existing correlations.
