The Relationship

This study was designed to determine the factors affecting hopelessness about the future of 10–12-year-old Turkish primary school students. Firstly, descriptive factor analysis was applied in order to determine the factors affecting hopelessness levels, then a structural equation model (SEM) was utilized to describe the relationship between the specified factors and hopelessness; these relationships were tested by LISREL 8.54. The results indicated that the preteenagers' level of hopelessness was adversely affected by support received from parents and friends. The hopelessness level was also significantly affected by the preteenagers' positive self-definition and parents' educational level.

Factors Affecting

This article presents the results of the analysis of factors affecting quality control in the construction industry of Vietnam on the basis of the method of confirmation factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation model (SEM). The results show that 25 factors, 6 goals, which are located in 5 criteria, are the most important for quality control in the construction industry of Vietnam. However, to be able to more fully reflect the results of the analysis, according to the data obtained from the survey, it is necessary to add 17 relationships. The results of the analysis also show that the model achieves convergence, discriminatory value and high reliability, but without unidirectionality.

This paper aims to answer whether there is a difference in the choice and consumption of domestic and imported fruits at supermarkets in Ho Chi Minh city and if yes, whether it can be measured. To answer these questions, we employ the structural equation model (SEM) with four variables, including product quality and feature, brand, price, and personal behavior of consumers. The model is subsequently checked using the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Data is obtained from surveys on the fruit consumers in HCMC’s supermarkets conducted from October to December, 2013. Conclusions and suggestions are also offered in the paper.

Abstract. Parents’ and teachers’ effort feedback is considered to be an important prerequisite for children’s implicit theories of intelligence and their academic self-concepts as well as for their learning and achievement motivation. Therefore, our study examines whether differences in N = 685 primary school students’ implicit theories, their reading self-concepts, and their reading motivation can be predicted by their perceptions of their parents’ and teachers’ effort feedback on reading processes. The results of a structural equation model show that children’s perceptions of their parents’ effort feedback predict their implicit theories, their reading self-concepts, and their reading motivation. The correlation between children’s perceived parental effort feedback and their intrinsic reading motivation is mediated by their implicit theories. Children’s implicit theories and their reading motivation cannot be predicted by their perceptions of their teachers’ effort feedback.

The Relationship

In this study, we explored the relationship between extracurricular (formal and informal) music activity participation and music and Chinese language academic achievements of primary school students in China. Fourth graders ( N = 10,958) reported their demographic information and extracurricular music activity participation, and completed two standardized academic achievement tests, one on music and another on the Chinese language. Results showed that students’ music activity participation was related to higher music academic achievement after controlling for gender, school location, and family socioeconomic status. The effect of students’ informal music activity participation on their music academic achievements was greater than that of students’ formal music activity participation. Remarkably, students’ informal music activity participation was also positively related to their Chinese language academic achievement, while formal music activity participation showed a negative correlation with academic achievement in Chinese language. Findings contributed to an increased understanding of the influence of different kinds of extracurricular music activities on students’ academic developments.
