The sample of 1,297 undergraduate students from 10 universities in junior and senior levels was obtained. The sample consisted of 265 male students and 1,032 female students. The stratified quota random sampling was used. The hypotheses are tested by Multiple Regression analysis. Results of the research found that the positively correlation between students’ psychological traits, social situations, psychological states and preserving Thai traditions is statistically significant at .01. Results of the total sample from multiple regression analysis indicated that behavioral intention to Thai-value was the first important predictor of this behavior, followed by social norm, cultivated by families, opening for information, role model, core-self-evaluation, attitude toward Thai products, psychological immunity, perceived ease of shopping Thai products, ego identity, and Future orientation and self-control with the accuracy of 45.3%. The highest predictive percentage of 31.6% was found in male students with the same important predictors as the total group. Furthermore, the results showed that male in senior students were the groups at risk of not preserving Thai traditions.

This study investigated the relation of Type A behavior dimensions and measures of optimism and pessimism. The sample of 322 undergraduate students were 80 men and 242 women at Kuwait University. Analysis showed that five dimensions of Type A behavior, accuracy and persistence, speed and time pressure, desire for promotion, seriousness and organization, and workaholism were positively correlated with optimism, while aggression was negatively correlated with optimism and positively correlated with pessimism. The multiple regression analysis indicated that speed and time pressure and desire for promotion contributed significantly to the prediction of optimism, while aggression predicted pessimism more than any other dimension of Type A behavior.

The purpose of this study is to identify differences in the results of the semester examinations for the Human Biology subject of the Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (DMLT) program for science and non-science stream students at the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) level as well as the achievement of male and female students. Furthermore, this study is also intended to predict the results of the Human Biology subject based on the SPM subjects of Biology and Chemistry. This study is a quantitative study involving the analysis of students' Human Biology subjects for the July-December 2012 session using multiple regression analysis with SPM results as independent variables. The sample used was 40 students who were randomly selected from the College of Medical Laboratory Technology, Kuala Lumpur, and the Allied Health Science College, Kuching, Sarawak. The results of the data analysis showed that the achievement of students from the science stream in the Human Biology subject was better (p<0.05; t=-3.653; df=38) than students from non-science streams and the difference in achievement was significant at 95% confidence level. At the same time, the achievement of female students showed better results (p<0.05; t=-2.082; df=38) as compared to male students. Pearson correlation analysis showed a very strong positive correlation for Biology (r=0.632 (39), p<0.05) and Chemistry (r=0.678 (39), p<0.05) subjects grades to Human Biology subject scores. Linear multiple regression analysis showed that the combined grades of Biology and Chemistry subjects at the SPM level predicted 49.1% of the Human Biology subject scores variant at DMLT level. The implication of this study suggests that candidates from the science stream with better grade results especially in Biology and Chemistry subjects at the SPM level should be given priority for the enrolment to the DMLT program. Since the DMLT program cannot be exclusively offered to female candidates even though the female group is able to achieve better results, male candidates’ enrolment need to be continued. However, more attention should be given to the male students especially during the learning session of Human Biology subject.

Research on leadership has suggested a possible relationship between style of leadership and being able to understand the viewpoints of others. The present investigation sought to determine the relationship between two measures of empathy and style of leadership. 127 undergraduate students, participating in small groups, were given Hobart and Fahlberg's predictive empathy measure, Barrett-Lennard's Relationship Inventory (perceived empathy), and Fiedler's Least Preferred Co-worker Scale (leadership style). A multiple regression analysis indicated that predictive empathy was a significant but moderate predictor of style while perceived empathy was not a significant predictor. The results were discussed in terms of future research and theory building.

Abstract. Every day, individuals can encounter events which cause them to check their wishes and impulses. They need to provide self-control in the face of these events. It is observed that psychotherapies aimed at increasing self-control are limited. Positive psychotherapy, which is a structural and analytical psychotherapeutic method, can expand our viewpoint on this subject. Structures in positive psychotherapy were examined in the context of using the balance model, coupled with the ability of self-control. The dependent variable of the research is self-control, the independent variable is positive psychotherapy structures. Of the 151 (52.6%) of the participants (52.6%) were women, 136 (47.4%) were men. The Personal Information Form, which was created by the researcher as a data collection tool, the self-control scales and Wiesbaden positive psychotherapy and family therapy inventory were used. Multiple regression analysis was performed during the analysis of the data. As a result of multiple regression analysis, primary abilities (r = .51, r2 = .26; f = 11.840; p <.01), secondary abilities (r = .52, r2 = .27; f = 9.209; p <.01) and the balance model (r = .39, R2 = .15; f = 11.964; p <.01) significantly announced the self-control. According to the results of the analysis, patience, relationship, hope, and love are among the primary abilities; the secondary abilities are honesty, achievement, conformity and fairness. From the balance model, it was revealed that success and body were a significant predictor of self-control.

Seaweed-Kappaphycus-Euchema Cottonii and Denticulum species was first cultivated at Sabah side of Sebatik in 2009. By November 2014, sixty one Sabahan seaweed farmers cultivated 122 ha or 3,050 long lines. Thirty Sabahan seaweed farmers in Kampung Pendekar (3.2 m.t dried) and 31 in Burst Point (12.5 m.t dried) produced 16 metric tonnes of dried seaweed contributed 31% to Tawau’s total production (51 m.t). The remaining 69% were from farmers in Cowie Bay that separates Sebatik from municipality of Tawau. Indonesian in Desa Setabu, Sebatik started in 2008. However, the number of Indonesian seaweed farmers, their cultivated areas and production (as well as quality) in Sebatik increased many times higher and faster than the Sabah side of Sebatik. In 2009 more than 1,401 households in Kabupaten Nunukan (including Sebatik) cultivated over 700 ha and have produced 55,098.95 and 116, 73 m.t dried seaweed in 2010 and 2011 respectively. There is a divergence in productions from farming the sea off the same island under similar weather conditions. Which of the eight explanatory factors were affecting production of seaweeds in Sebatik? Using Cobb Douglas production function, Multiple Regression analysis was conducted on 100 samples (50 Sabahan and 50 Indonesian). Results; Variable significant at α = 0.05% are Experience in farming whereas Farm size; Quantity of propagules and Location — Dummy are the variables significant at α 0.01%.
