This research aims to examine the related effects of financial literacy and risk attitudes towards investor behavior in the Indonesian capital market with the motive of saving as a mediating variable. This study uses a quantitative approach and partial least squares- structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test hypotheses. The research data was obtained from 110 questionnaires distributed to capital market investors in Indonesia using the purposive sampling method. The results of this study indicate that financial literacy, risk attitude and saving motives have positive and significant effects on investor behavior in the Indonesian capital market. The influence of financial literacy and risk attitude also has a positive and significant effect on saving motives. However, the motive for saving money cannot mediate the effect of financial literacy and risk attitude on investor behavior. Theoretically, the implications of the results of this study are the level of financial literacy, risk attitude, and saving motives can directly influence investor behavior. The higher the financial literacy, the better the attitude in facing investment risk and the greater the motive for saving, the better the investor's behavior in making investment decisions. Whereas in practical terms, this implication is used as input for investors to further increase financial literacy, pay attention to the level of risk of selected investments, and enlarge the motives for saving so that the purpose of investing can be achieved well.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of prestige sensitivity on mobile phone customer’s price acceptance in Vietnam and the mediating role of product knowledge and price mavenism on this relationship. We used the convenience sampling method for data collection via questionnaires with a sample of 605 consumers who purchased mobile phones. The collected data was analysed by applying a structural equation modelling method. The result indicates that prestige sensitivity has both direct and indirect effects on price acceptance via product knowledge and price mavenism. The findings suggest that prestige sensitivity can be used as a market segmentation criterion for mobile phones when making price decisions and providing customers with adequate information could improve price acceptance.

This study covers the gender-wise analysis of how behavioural factors and socio-economic factors along with the level of financial literacy influence investment decisions of Indian retail investors. Equally pertinent is to understand that will it have a different influence and bearing on males and females. Multivariate technique partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) has been applied to develop the model and analyse the results. The study used a structured questionnaire for collecting data from retail investors. The findings of PLS-SEM show that in both genders, behavioural factors, socio-economic factors and financial literacy factors significantly affect investment decisions. However, the findings demonstrate that for women investors, the model is more effective. This study may be useful for prospective fund managers as, in many earlier studies, women are considered to be risk aversive. The results demonstrate that there is a need to target women, and the scenario today is not similar to the pre-existing ones. JEL Classification: G110, G4

                                                        ABSTRACTThis research aims to analyze psychological biases that occur when investors make risky investment decisions. There are five behavioral factors analyzed (herding, overconfidence, disposition effect, conservatism, and availability). Financial literacy is used as moderator in analyzing the effect of those bahaviors towards risky investment decisions. This research examines four econometric equations in explaining financial literacy as a moderator. Interaction effect testing is carried out using moderating variable regression. The results show that psychological biases occur in making risky investment decisions. Herding behavior, overconfidence, disposition effect, and conservatism show a positive effect, while availability does not show a significant effect. Testing on the interaction model finds that financial literacy is able to reduce these psychological biases. This finding also explains the managerial implications that investors with high levels of financial literacy have the potential to experience relatively low psychological biases compared to investors with limited levels of financial literacy. In terms of limitations, this research uses a questionnaire survey that has not been able to reveal aspects of investor behavior in a comprehensive manner. In addition, the number of respondents who are more dominated by beginner investors also adds to the limitations in carrying out the generalization.                                                    ABSTRAKRiset ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bias-bias psikologi yang terjadi ketika pemodal mengambil keputusan investasi berisiko. Terdapat lima faktor perilaku yang dianalisis, yaitu perilaku herding, overconfidence, disposition effect, conservatism, dan availability. Literasi keuangan digunakan sebagai pemoderasi dalam menganalisis pengaruh faktor-faktor keperilakuan tersebut terhadap keputusan investasi berisiko. Riset ini menguji empat persamaan ekonometrika dalam menjelaskan peran literasi keuangan sebagai pemoderasi. Pengujian efek interaksi dilakukan dengan menggunakan regresi variabel moderasi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa bias-bias psikologi terjadi dalam pengambilan keputusan investasi berisiko. Perilaku herding, overconfidence, disposition effect, dan conservatism menunjukkan pengaruh positif terhadap pengambilan keputusan investasi berisiko, sementara bias availability tidak menunjukkan pengaruh yang bermakna dalam riset ini. Pengujian pada model interaksi menemukan bahwa literasi keuangan mampu mereduksi bias-bias psikologi tersebut. Temuan ini sekaligus menjelaskan implikasi manajerial bahwa pemodal dengan tingkat literasi keuangan yang baik berpotensi mengalami bias-bias psikologi yang relatif lebih rendah dibandingkan pemodal dengan tingkat lietrasi keuangan yang terbatas. Dari sisi keterbatasan, riset ini menggunakan survei kuesioner yang belum mampu mengungkap aspek perilaku pemodal secara komprehensif. Selain itu, jumlah responden yang lebih didominasi oleh pemodal pemula juga menambah keterbatasan dalam melakukan generalisasi hasil penelitian.

Indian firms are engaging consumers with long format advertisements (ads longer than 60 seconds in duration). Television (TV) spot costs are escalating for high viewership programmes. Limited attempt has been made to explore the impact of long format ads (ads longer than 60 seconds in duration) on consumer behaviour. The researcher explores the types of long format ads which increases the audience involvement leading to formation of purchase intentions (PI). Descriptive research design was used to conduct the research. Data was collected from 364 respondents. The conceptual framework was tested using structural equation modelling. The findings reveal that entertaining and informative long format ads exhibit the strongest influence on audience involvement which leads to formation of PI. However, long format ads do not directly lead to formation of PI among the consumers. The mediation effect of message process involvement (MPI) and attitude towards the brand is statistically evident.
