Insight Into

To expand the business ethics research field, and to increase society's understanding of Chinese insurance agents' business ethics, we investigated how gender differences are related to agents' business ethical sensitivity and whether or not these relationships are moderated by empathy. Through a regression analysis of the factors associated with the business ethical sensitivity of 417 Chinese insurance agents, we found that gender played an important role in affecting business ethical sensitivity, and empathy significantly affected business ethical sensitivity. Furthermore, empathy had a moderating effect on the relationship between gender and business ethical sensitivity. Both men and women with strong empathy scored high on business ethical sensitivity; however, men with strong empathy had higher levels of business ethical sensitivity than did women with little empathy. The findings add to the literature by providing insight into the mechanisms responsible for the benefits of empathy in increasing business ethical sensitivity.

Abstract Background Non-participation in cohort studies, if associated with both the exposure and occurrence of the event, can introduce bias in the estimates of interest. This study aims to identify factors associated with follow-up participation in Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study, a large-scale community-based prospective study in West Asia. Methods A sample of 10,368 adults from TLGS was included in the analysis. All analyses were split according to sex and age groups (20–39, 40–59, and 60 years). The associations between socio-demographic, health, and lifestyle factors with response rate were identified using the Generalized Estimating Equations model. Results Over the median of 15.7 years of follow up the response rate was 64.5%. The highest response rate was observed in those aged 40–59 years for both sexes. Current smokers had lower odds of response in both sexes for all age groups, ranging from 0.51 to 0.74, p < 0.01. In young adults, being single (OR = 0.79, OR = 0.57, p ≤ 0.01, respectively for men and women) and unemployed (OR = 0.73, OR = 0.76, p ≤ 0.01, respectively for men and women) in both sexes, high physical activity in men (OR = 0.77, p < 0.01), high education (OR = 0.75, p = 0.02) and obesity (OR = 0.85, p = 0.05) in women were associated with lower response rate. For the middle-aged group, diabetes in men (OR = 0.77, p = 0.05) and hypertension (OR = 0.84, p = 0.05), and having a history of cancer (OR = 0.43, p = 0.03) in women were factors associated with lower response rates. Finally, interventions for both sexes (OR = 0.75, OR = 0.77, p ≤ 0.05, respectively for men and women) and being divorced/widow in women (OR = 0.77, p = 0.05) were the factors associated with the lower response rate in the elderly. Conclusions Long-term participation was influenced by socio-demographic, health, and lifestyle factors in different sex- and age-specific patterns in TLGS. Recruitment strategies targeting these factors may improve participant follow-up in longitudinal studies.

Introduction : Gender differences in dementia patients and Parkinson’s Disease have been investigated extensively; however, factors that contribute to gender differences in Parkinson’s Disease with Dementia patients (PDD) is not fully understood. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that specific, demographic, and pharmacological factors may be associated with men and women patients with PDD, and contribute to gender differences. Methods : Data collected for 5 years from 7594 PDD patients was analyzed using univariate analysis to determine different factors associated with men or women with PDD. Multicollinearity interactions between independent variables in the model were examined using variance inflation factors Results : Overall, 55.22% of the PDD patients were men while 44.77% were women. In the adjusted analysis, Aripiprazole (OR = 0.581, 95% CI, 0.302‐1.118, P = 0.104), ETOH (OR = 0.371, 95% CI, 0.260‐0.531, P<0.001) African American (0.249, 95% CI, 0.088‐0.703, P = 0.009) with PD were more likely to be men. The use of Aripiprazole (OR = 0.195, 95% CI, 0.06‐0.631, P = 0.006), Escitalopram (OR = 0.651, 95% CI, 0.468‐0.906, P = 0.011), and Tobacco (OR = 0.620, 95% CI, 0.444‐0.866, P = 0.005) were associated with women. Conclusions : This study showed that women presented fewer cases of PDD than men. The current study reveals gender differences in PDD patients associated with specific demographic and pharmacological factors

We investigated the hemodynamic determinants of the age-associated decline in maximal oxygen uptake (V̇o2 max) and the influence of gender on the decline in V̇o2 max and its determinants in old and very old men and women. Sedentary, 60- to 92-yr-old women ( n = 71) and men ( n = 29), with no evidence of cardiovascular disease, underwent maximal treadmill exercise tests during which V̇o2 max and maximal cardiac output (Q̇max) were determined. V̇o2 max and age were inversely related in both women (−23 ± 2 ml·min−1·yr−1; P < 0.0001) and men (−57 ± 5 ml·min−1·yr−1; P < 0.0001). The absolute slope of the V̇o2 max vs. age relationship was twofold steeper in men than in women ( P < 0.0001). Q̇max was also inversely related to age in a gender-specific manner (women = −87 ± 25 ml·min−1·yr−1, P = 0.0009; men = −215 ± 50 ml·min−1·yr−1, P = 0.0002; P = 0.01 women vs. men). Age-related changes in maximal exercise arteriovenous oxygen content difference (a-vDo2) were marginally different ( P = 0.08) between women (−0.12 ± 0.03 ml·dl−1·yr−1, P = 0.0003) and men (−0.22 ± 0.04 ml·dl−1·yr−1, P < 0.0001). Age-associated decreases in Q̇max and a-vDo2 contributed equally to the declines in V̇o2 max in both men and women. In the later stages of life, V̇o2 max, Q̇max, and a-vDo2 decrease with age more rapidly in older men than they do in older women. As a result, the gender differences dissipate in the later decades of life. Declines in Q̇max and a-vDo2 contribute equally to the age-related decrease in V̇o2 max in men and women.

Purpose This study aims to systematically examine gender specific behavioral differences and similarities in online shopping consumers, underlying theories for such differences and similarities and moderating and mediating roles of gender in studying the effects of online marketing strategies. This synthesis explores gender differences and similarities from a wide range of online settings, including readiness for adoption of new technology, willingness to make online payments, trust in online vendors, perception and behavior toward online business websites and perceived online service quality. Design/methodology/approach A systematic approach was adopted to derive and then analyze the existing literature. The authors accessed relevant literature from three electronic databases. After a thorough screening process and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, the study shortlisted 61 academic articles from an initial pool of 187 papers. Findings The findings reveal more differences than similarities between men and women as online consumers. Men generally have more favorable attitudes toward e-tailers (electronic retailing), online purchase/re-purchase and e-payments than women do. Social influences positively affect the online purchase intentions of men and women, but they have a more substantial effect on women. Privacy concerns negatively affect the online trust of men and women, but they also manifest a more significant influence on women. Practical implications Findings of review guide practitioners in formulating effective positioning and communication strategies that enable them to appeal to gender-specific consumer segments in multiple products and business contexts. It offers guidelines to online businesses for developing e-business platforms (websites) that persuade the target audience across gender groups, based on consumer browsing and web navigation preferences. Originality/value This review fulfills the need for a systematic synthesis of empirical research vis-à-vis online consumer behavior studies to find gender-specific perceptions, attitudes and behaviors.
