Buying Decisions

The aim of this study is to identify the role of packaging as a determining factor in the purchase of dermocosmetic products, and to assess the impact of various elements and features of dermocosmetic packaging on product perception and buying decisions made by consumers. A direct personal interview survey covered a group of female consumers making regular purchases of dermocosmetic products in pharmacies. The survey revealed that although dermocosmetic packaging is not seen as one of the major determinants to purchase, its close connection to the perception of a dermocosmetic’s safety cannot be ignored. While shopping, consumers tend to consider the following features of dermocosmetic packaging: its effectiveness in protecting the product; label information; and product security.

The relative and absolute rates of mobility are significant in their own regard, however, it leaves open the question of the ‘processual effects’ of industrialization, or in other words what are the drivers of this mobility. This chapter studies the impact of education on social mobility. The major question posed here is whether education acts as a mediator of mobility or not. Or, are the social origin or inherited characteristics (caste and class) the primary determining factor where the chances of social mobility are concerned? Finally, whether the impact of education varies by community. We find that education mediates the origin-destination relation, with those with higher levels of education able to secure more chances of upward mobility. The critical role of caste and gender is underlined.

Determining Factor

This study seeks to investigate self-efficacy on job performance through the role of work anxiety and intrinsic motivation. The research sample consisted of 83 employees and ten leaders on the STIEM Bongaya campus, and data analysis used Warp PLS 7.0. This study does not support the hypothesis that the better the self-efficacy, the higher the job performance. So, as a practical implication, self-efficacy is not the main determining factor in determining the value of job performance in tertiary institutions. Interestingly, self-efficacy has a positive and significant effect on work anxiety, and subsequently, job performance is getting better. It was found that the better the self-efficacy, the better the intrinsic motivation, and the better job performance. Hence, the role of work anxiety and intrinsic motivation as a complete mediation variable. The higher the self-efficacy, the higher the anxiety and the higher the job performance, but the impact is not significant or significant. Furthermore, the better the self-efficacy, the higher the intrinsic motivation and higher job performance, but the impact is not significant.

Abstract - This review aimed to discuss the influence of literacy and formal education on human brain organization, based on evidence drawn from three sources: (1) results and limitations of a project coordinated by André Roch Lecours on the influence of illiteracy on brain organization and of studies on aphasia in illiterate populations; (2) data on the impact of schooling on the neuropsychological assessment of healthy and brain-damaged individuals, and (3) studies on the effect of schooling on dementia. These findings suggest that schooling and literacy processes influence cerebral organization of healthy individuals, as well as of brain-lesion individuals and those with dementia. Concerning illiteracy, the systematic pioneering studies developed by Lecours and the continuity of his investigations were essential to alert the scientific and clinical communities to take into account the role of educational experience on cognitive processing and its brain substrates.

Main Strategy

The article discusses the strategies and role of professional verbal communication versus verbal communication business. It is argued that the overall strategy of business communication, the impact of the modeling of the behavior of the interlocutor to the speaker in the desired direction and correction of the world model of the listener. The main strategy here is to achieve victory, which is that success come at the expense of suppression of the partner. Professional communication, in contrast, uses both the overall strategy of interaction, and as a main agreement, to success when partners come together. Business and professional communication combines a professional task for which communication took place. Communicating on a personal level, each shows his “I-man”. The determining factor in such communication is the understanding that all personalities in a communicative sense, equal. In the business realm is role-based communication, the effectiveness of which depends on how professionally accurately and convincingly communicating entities play their roles.

General Climate

Two studies examined the impact of macrolevel symbolic threat on intergroup attitudes. In Study 1 (N = 71), participants exposed to a macrosymbolic threat (vs. nonsymbolic threat and neutral topic) reported less support toward social policies concerning gay men, an outgroup whose stereotypes implies a threat to values, but not toward welfare recipients, a social group whose stereotypes do not imply a threat to values. Study 2 (N = 78) showed that, whereas macrolevel symbolic threat led to less favorable attitudes toward gay men, macroeconomic threat led to less favorable attitudes toward Asians, an outgroup whose stereotypes imply an economic threat. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for understanding the role of a general climate of threat in shaping intergroup attitudes.
