Main Effects

206 women and 88 men enrolled in classes requiring different amounts of physical activity were administered the Personal Incentives for Exercise Questionnaire A two-way multivariate analysis of variance, with course type and gender as the categorical independent variables and 10 subscale scores representing incentives to exercise as the multivariate dependent variables, was completed. Canonical discriminant analysis was used to identify which of the incentives is most useful in discriminating among participants in active and less active classes or between men and women. For main effects, analysis indicated an over-all significant difference for both course type and gender. Men scored higher than women on activity and on competition, for example, while women scored higher on appearance and weight management.

Exercise Status

This study examined whether information about an individual’s exercise habits influences the impressions that others form of the individual. Using a 2 (target’s gender) × 3 (target’s exercise status) design, 627 men and women participants read a description of a young man or woman who was described as an exerciser, nonexerciser, or control. Participants then rated the target on 12 personality and 8 appearance dimensions. Analyses revealed significant main effects for both independent variables (p < .05). Nonexercisers received lower ratings than the exercisers and/or controls did on virtually all the dimensions (p < .05), and female targets were rated more favorably than male targets were on several dimensions (p < .05). The interaction between a target’s exercise status and gender was not significant. The results suggest that for women, as well as men, there are self-presentational benefits associated with being an exerciser and self-presentational liabilities for those who are nonexercisers.

Main Effects

The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of varying levels of glove surface friction, glove type, and various loads lifted on submaximal holding performance. The independent variables were glove type, friction level, load lifted, trial, and gender. Ten males and ten females performed two trials of lifting a device similar to a standard hand dynamometer under each of these conditions. All the main effects were significant at the 0.0001 level for the dependent variables of stable force and peak force. The results indicate that the surface friction of a glove affects the amount of force with which the subject feels he needs to grasp an object. In addition, the amount of force exerted per pound lifted decreased with increasing weights, perhaps indicating over exertion at the lighter levels of the weight lifted, or under exertion at the higher levels of load.

ABSTRAK: Pertamina sebagai badan usaha milik negara dipercaya untuk mendistribusikan BBM dan mengangkut minyak mentah ke seluruh pelosok Indonesia dengan mengoperasikan kapal-kapal tanker menurut tipe dan muatan yang diangkut.Kinerja kapal-kapal tanker penting diketahui karena tuntutan efisiensi biaya pengapalan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja kecepatan kapal tertinggi (13,2940 knot) ditunjukkan oleh kapal tipe GP, sedangkan dan kinerja kecepatan kapal terburuk (10,5233 knot) ditunjukkan oleh kapal tipe MR masing-masing sebagai angkutan minyak mentah. Kinerja susut muatan terbaik (0,02683%) ditunjukkan oleh kapal tipe MR angkutan minyak mentah, dan terburuk (0,05669%) ditunjukkan oleh kapal tipe GP angkutan komponen BBM. MANOVA digunakan untuk menganalisis pengaruh antara variabel bebas tipe kapal dan muatan yang diangkut terhadap variabel kinerja kecepatan kapal dan susut muatan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa nilai F untuk Pillai’s Trace, Wilks’ Lambda, Hotelling’s Trace, dan Roy’s Largest Root memiliki signifikansi lebih kecil dari 0,01 artinya terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan untuk kinerja kecepatan kapal dan susut muatan menurut tipe kapal dan kargo yang diangkut. Dari hasil tests of between subjects effects, dapat disimpulkan bahwa tipe kapal dan kargo yang diangkut berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kecepatan kapal yang ditunjukkan pada nilai F dengan signifikansi 0,001, tetapi tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap susut muatan, sebagaimana ditunjukkan pada nilai F dengan signifikansi 0,997.ABSTRACT : Pertamina as a state-owned enterprise was trusted to transport product oil and crude oil to all corners of Indonesia by operating oil tankers according to type and cargo transported. Tankers’ performance were important to know due to efficiency in shipping cost. Results of this study showed that the fastest speed performance (13.2940 knots) was shown by the type of vessel GP, while the slowest performance (10.5233 knots) was indicated by the type of vessel MR, both of them carried crude oil. While the best performance of transportation loss was demonstrated by the type of vessel MR with cargo crude oil that was 0.02683%, and the worst was indicated by the type of vessel GP with cargo intermediate that was 0.05669%. MANOVA was used to analyse influences independent variables the type of vessel and the cargo transported on the dependent variables the performance of speed and transportation loss. The result expressed that F value of Pillai's Trace, Wilks' Lambda, Hotelling's Trace, and Roy's Largest Root was significant, smaller than 0.01. It was meant that there was a significant difference to the performance of the speed and the transportation lossses according to the type of vessel and the cargo transported. Hence, the results of the tests of between subjects effects indicated that the type of vessel and the cargo transported significantly effected on the speed as indicated by the F value with significance value 0.001, but no significant effect on the transportation loss, as indicated on the F value with significance value 0.997.

Group is an arrangement of individuals who have similar interests or aims , who organise themselves to work or act together .Behaviour is the manner in which an animal or an individual behaves in response to a particular circumstances or stimulus. . Group behaviour tends to follow the norms of the organisations and rules which are that the employees are expected to be disciplined, follow the orders and work towards the requirements and necessities of the organisation rather than their own whims and fancies. Group behaviour is emanated by the cause that is contributed by group effectiveness. Many researches were conducted and it is held that people moving in groups are more effective and learn more than in individual. For this research, an empirical study was carried out. The data was collected from 1850 respondents. Several statistical tools were used for the research such as chi-square, independent sample t test and ANOVA. The dependent variables are Comfortableness to work, Helping the teammates and aspects of group behaviour. The independent variables are age, gender and educational qualifications. The result of the study were that there is significant difference between Comfortableness to work and gender , there is significant association between Helping the teammates and age and there is significant difference in the mean scores level of agreeability towards the aspect of group behaviour such as communication , task management ,tolerance, work allotment and involvement among the educational Qualification groups.

The management of writing a scientific papers we already know has important chapters in the writing. And have a way of choosing in a variety of methods. There are problems in this study, namely the absence of the use of research methods in scientific-rich management. Then one of them is needed by multivariate data analysis management to become one of the methods in writing scientific papers. Multivariate data is data collected from two or more observations by measuring these observations with several characteristics. There are 2 (two) methods in multivariate data, namely dependency and interdependence methods. Dependency analysis functions to explain or predict dependent variables by using two or more independent variables. Focused on the dependency method there are 9 (nine) classifications. It is expected that the multivariate data analysis management can help writers to use scientific research methods well and be able to analyze the influence of several variables on other variables at the same time

Salt intake is one of the important predictors of hypertension, a widespread chronic disease among adults. Much remains to be known about its causes, especially in the Romanian context, where there is a scarcity of analyses on this particular topic. Its predictors are relevant for public policy in order to evaluate what strategy should be adopted given actual levels of salt intake and the way people think about their levels of salt intake. Our analyses focus on actual and perceived salt intake. Data for this analysis come from the SEPHAR project, gathered in 2016 (wave 3), a nationally representative sample of Romanians. After noting a major discrepancy between perceived and actual levels of salt intake, we used two regressions with actual and perceived salt intake as dependent variables and three types of factors as independent variables: socio-demographic (age, gender, region, type of locality, education), lifestyle (fat diet, alcohol consumption, active lifestyle, and smoking) and related diseases (obesity and diabetes). Results show Romanians have similar levels of salt intake perceptions independently of the characteristics considered, except fat diet and diabetes, and similar levels of actual salt intake except age and gender, even though previous research shows that there are differences between individuals across these characteristics when it comes to considering hypertension as a dependent variable. We conclude by noting policy interventions regarding salt intake based on the results of this research, especially the need to update the current Romanian TV campaign to reduce salt intake or similar campaigns from other countries.

Online dating is becoming an increasingly used method for meeting significant others. As the research of lying behavior has advanced so has the technique of detecting the act of lying, especially in the online environment where deception is more likely to happen. The aim of this chapter is to simplify the perception of lying behavior to the general population and examine gender differences of lying behavior, namely, to verify whether one can observe a statistically significant difference in the speech behavior and exploitation of lying cues among men and women. The study shows correlation between gender and deception in online environment.

Changing Demographics

As the changing demographics of the workplace influence how organizations operate, the need to reexamine relationships between these demographic variables and their effect on the organization continues. This study provides an empirical examination of the effect of two demographic variables, age and gender, and any moderating impact anxiety, enjoyment, and/or peer pressure may have on computer usage. Based on our analysis of 292 knowledge workers, we identified no significant difference between men and women and/or young and old regarding their computer usage in the workplace. Therefore, the findings from this study do not seem to support earlier research regarding age and gender, which indicated that these variables did impact computer usage. However, the moderating construct (anxiety) did appear to be significant in the employees’ computer usage.

In the last two decades, new insights have been gained regarding sex/gender-related differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD represents the leading cause of death worldwide in both men and women, accounting for at least one-third of all deaths in women and half of deaths in women over 50 years in developing countries. Important sex-related differences in prevalence, presentation, management, and outcomes of different CVDs have been recently discovered, demonstrating sex/gender-specific pathophysiologic features in the presentation and prognosis of CVD in men and women. A large amount of evidence has highlighted the role of sex hormones in protecting women from CVDs, providing an advantage over men that is lost when women reach the menopause stage. This hormonal-dependent shift of sex-related CVD risk consequently affects the overall CVD epidemiology, particularly in light of the increasing trend of population aging. The benefits of physical activity have been recognized for a long time as a powerful preventive approach for both CVD prevention and aging-related morbidity control. Exercise training is indeed a potent physiological stimulus, which reduces primary and secondary cardiovascular events. However, the underlying mechanisms of these positive effects, including from a sex/gender perspective, still need to be fully elucidated. The aim of this work is to provide a review of the evidence linking sex/gender-related differences in CVD, including sex/gender-specific molecular mediators, to explore whether sex- and gender-tailored physical activity may be used as an effective tool to prevent CVD and improve clinical outcomes in women.
