Purpose The purpose of this paper is to combine the elaboration likelihood model and hedonic/utilitarian values into a coherent model of shopping motivational values for online and offline Malaysian shoppers. Once these values were identified, they were compared to one another based on shopping channel, gender, and age group. Design/methodology/approach The Shopping Motivational Value Questionnaire was developed by the researcher after extensive literature review and measured the respondent’s perception toward shopping motivational values in both shopping channels. Data were collected from 306 Malaysians above the age of 21, and analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and pairwise t-test techniques. Findings The factor analysis revealed a three-factor model of shopping motivational values. Gratification Values were the most important to shoppers, followed by Essential and Societal Values. Shoppers perceived all these motivational values as important when shopping offline as compared to online, regardless of gender and age group. Research limitations/implications The results of the factor analysis revealed a three-factor model of shopping motivational values: Gratification Values which were the most important to shoppers, followed by Essential and Societal Values. These values were then compared to one another based on shopping channel, gender, and age group. Results indicate that shoppers perceived all these motivational values as important when shopping offline rather than online, regardless of gender and age group. Moreover, the perception of shoppers toward specific product categories and other shopping channels were not taken into account. Originality/value This study attempted to combine the elaboration likelihood model and hedonic and utilitarian values into a coherent model. A questionnaire was developed by the researcher with these two theoretical models as its foundation. Additionally, the shopping motivational values of this study have been formulated to be compatible to both shopping channels.

A survey was carried out to study and collect data about the agricultural farmer injuries of Odisha in India. Five villages with major population with farming as occupation were selected. A total of 145 farmers were selected for the study. It was found that, the number of accidents by hand tools such as spades, plain edge sickles, serrated sickles, and shovels were 13 (16.45%), 6 (7.59%), 11 (13.92%), and 7 (8.86%), respectively. Also, it was observed that maximum number of male and female farmers who were victims of agricultural injury were in the age group of 31 to 45. A smaller number of injured farmers were found in the age group of 18 to 30. Factor analysis followed by the SWARA method was used to rank the important variables which were found as the causes for agricultural accidents or injuries by the responses obtained through questionnaires. Finally, QFD & Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and MICMAC analysis was performed, to frame design requirements in the form of safety requirements.

<p>Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scales -SEEC The Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scales -SEEC was developed in 1998 by Sara S. Sparrow, David A. Balla and Domenic V. Cicchetti. Vineland SEEC aims to evaluate the social-emotional development of children from birth to 5 years and 11 months. The aim of this study is to adapt the Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale to the Turkish culture in the 0-4 age group. The research was carried out with the data obtained from the parents who were between 0-4 years of age in 2017-2018. The study group of the study population of 102 (0.0-0.11 months), 126 (1.0-1.11) months 172 (2.0-2.11), 129 (3.0-3.11), 155 (4.0 4.11) age group, totally 684 children and those who undertake care. SPSS 22 package program and Lisrel package programs were used in the study. Data collected through Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale and Personal Information Form were analyzed through SPSS and Lisrel package programs. Language validity, scope validity, construct validity, AFA (exploratory factor analysis) and DFA (confirmatory factor analysis) were used for validity. The internal consistency coefficients of the Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale (Cronbach's alpha value) are .78 in the Interpersonal Relationship Sub-scale and .88 in the Play and Leisure subscale in children from birth to one year. In the Interpersonal Relationship subscale, an .77 age for children is. In the Interpersonal Relationship subscale, it was .64 in the Interpersonal Relationship subscale and .64 in the Scale of Coping, and .83 in the Scale of Coping Skills. There were 62 sub-scales in the Interpersonal Relations subscale and .64, and the Coping Skills Scale in. The four-year-olds had .70 in the Interpersonal Relations subscale, .74 in the Play and Leisure subscales, and .80 in the Coping Skills Scale. With these studies, the validity and reliability of the scale for the usage of the scale in Turkish culture has been obtained and the scale has been introduced to be used for different studies that can be done with children.</p>

This study aims to develop a multidimensional 21st century skills scale for adolescent and early adulthood students in the 15–25 age group. The research was conducted with 660 high school, associate degree and undergraduate students. From the item pool created during the first stage of the study, 146 items were selected in line with expert opinions. Within the scope of the validity studies, exploratory factor analysis was carried out. As a result of the analysis, a 41-item scale with five sub factors were developed. In the second stage of the study, Lisrel 8.80 program was used with confirmatory factor analysis, and the five sub-factor structure was confirmed. In the third stage of the study, the test–retest method was applied, and the mean scale scores and standard deviation values of the scale in the first and second applications were found to be 3.89, 18.21 and 3.58 and 22.19, respectively. Keywords: 21st century skills, multidimensional 21st century skills scale, 15–25 age group, scale development.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the extent of environmental concern among consumers while purchasing personal care products. This paper also examines the role of consumer's willingness to pay for environmentally friendly products while making green purchase. It also tests if willingness to pay can be predicted based on certain product attributes. An exploratory factor analysis was carried out to develop the conceptual framework and based on which a questionnaire was designed. Primary data was collected from 300 respondents, women working in Information technology sector between the age group 25-45. The results show that there is high amount of environmental awareness among the consumers. However due to lack of proper and reliable information exchange between the manufacturers and the consumers this awareness does not materialize in green purchase behavior. Consumer's willingness to pay extra for ecolabeled product is dependent on the product reliability and appeal. Hence ecolabeled products stand a chance to be selected if they are appealing and reliable.

The purpose of this research was to develop a psychometrically sound measure of athlete burnout. In Study 1, exploratory factor analysis revealed burn-out dimensions reflective of emotional/physical exhaustion, reduced sense of swimming accomplishment, and swimming devaluation. In two subsequent studies, the psychometric properties of a refined version of this measure were examined. Independent samples of senior age-group swimmers and college athletes from a variety of sports completed a questionnaire that tapped the three burnout dimensions as well as stress- and motivation-related variables. Confirmatory factor analysis and alternative model testing supported the specified three-factor burnout model. In support of construct validity, the burnout subscales correlated positively with stress, trait anxiety, and amotivation, and correlated negatively with coping, social support, enjoyment, commitment, and intrinsic motivation indices across the two studies.
