Money Attitude

AbstractMoney Attitude determines the financial behavior of an individual. Both males and females are expected to demonstrate different money attitude due to difference in socialization and childhood orientations. This preliminary study attempts to determine the contrast in money attitude of males and females in Delhi and National Capital Region and present a comparative analysis in terms of their spending and saving habits. Data from 117 male respondents and 126 female respondents was collected. Money attitude was measured by adopting four sub-dimensions of Money Attitude Scale (MAS) developed by Yamauchi & Templer (1982). Descriptive analysis and independent t-test has been devised to test the dissimilarity in money attitude between male and female in Delhi NCR. The results bring about contrast across gender in terms of the four sub-dimensions of MAS. The research has implications for marketers, sociologist, economists, psychologists, and financial planners. The further research can be extended in terms of demographic factors.

Sexuality is an important aspect of an individual’s life which is often surrounded by stigma. The lack of acceptability to talk about sexuality creates considerable stress for individuals. Consequently, sexuality concerns present themselves in psychotherapy. In such situations, the counselors’ ability to create a safe environment, develop an empathic understanding, and affirm the client’s identity facilitates competent practice. Counselors’ ability to engage with issues of sexuality may, in turn, be determined by their own comfort. Thus, to understand the quality of counseling available for sexuality concerns, it is primary to study the counselors’ comfort and interventions with these issues. For this exploratory study, self-constructed questionnaires were administered to 31 counselors from Delhi, capital city of India and the National Capital Region (NCR), with a postgraduate degree in psychology and at least a year experience as practicing counselors. Ten case vignettes were presented and the counselors were asked to rate their comfort on a 5-point Likert-type scale and provide three interventions. Descriptive analysis of the Likert-type scale responses was undertaken while the interventions listed were analyzed thematically. The counselors perceived themselves to be very comfortable with sexuality concerns and obtained a mean score of 41.806 out of 50. Counselors’ interventions were reflective of their approach, and some interventions employed could be conceptualized along the affirmative sexuality framework. The counselors listed evidence-based strategies which were influenced by their own theoretical orientation and experience. The counselors varied in their engagement with ethical and legal issues. This study has implications for research, counselor training, and practice.

Introduction: In Australia, men who have sex with men (MSM) constitute the majority of newly diagnosed HIV cases. After a decline in the late 1990's, several Australian states have reported increases in HIV mainly attributed to MSM. There has also been an increase in HIV in Western Australia (WA), however recently, a larger proportion have been attributed to people who acquired the infection through heterosexual contact. Objective: This paper describes the epidemiology of HIV in WA from 2000 to 2006, focusing on the increase in cases with heterosexual exposure. Methods: In WA, notification of HIV cases is mandatory for doctors and laboratories. Information collected includes basic demographics and probable exposure. Descriptive analysis was carried out on de-identified HIV notification data from 2000 to 2006. Results: An annual average of 49 HIV cases were notified in 2000-2004. However, in 2005 and 2006, this increased to 64 and 72 cases respectively. The increase was mainly among non-Aboriginal males and females reporting heterosexual contact. The number of non-Aboriginal males who reported heterosexual contact increased from an average of 9 cases in 2000-2004 to an average of 20 cases in 2005-2006. The number of non-Aboriginal female cases reporting heterosexual exposure increased from an average of seven cases in 2000-2004 to 9 and 14 cases notified in 2005 and 2006 respectively. The majority of non-Aboriginal males reporting heterosexual exposure in 2005-2006 acquired their infection overseas (84%). Of these, 71% reported Asia as the place of acquisition. Of the non-Aboriginal females reporting heterosexual exposure in 2005-2006, 52% were acquired overseas. The number of Aboriginal cases remained stable between 2000 and 2006 fluctuating between 2 and 11 cases and continued to be mainly heterosexually acquired within WA. Conclusion: There has been an increase in the number of male and female HIV cases reporting heterosexual exposure in WA. A large proportion reported acquiring their infection overseas highlighting the need to raise awareness among people who travel, work in countries with high rates of HIV.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to define its predictors in urban and rural patients presenting to tertiary care hospitals located in Greater Noida district Gautam Budh Nagar, India.Methods: A total of 367 participants recruited in the study, aged 20–55 years, comprising, 290 patients (149 rural and 141 urban) and 77 healthy age, sex-matched controls from the study area. Anthropometric, clinical and laboratory examination information was obtained. MetS was defined as per the National Cholesterol Education Program, Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP, ATP III) report.Results: There were significant differences in biochemical and anthropometric measurements between control and patient population (p<0.05). There was a substantial difference in the prevalence of MetS among male and female patient population of urban as well as rural areas. As per NCEP, ATP III criteria, the prevalence of MetS in urban patient population was 21.7% in male and 27.8% in female whereas rural male and female exhibited 13.8% and 18.8% of MetS, respectively. Waist circumference was found as the strongest predictor of MetS among the patient population.Conclusion: Rapid urbanization of the cities is affecting the village life and indicating toward a major burden of diseases associated with MetS. A higher prevalence of MetS in female irrespective of the area of residence needs major health-care policy change. There is an urgent need to address this issue by adopting healthy eating, physical exercise, and weight reduction.

Abstract The present study investigates how the interaction of materialism and money attitude affects individuals choice of car price range in recent purchases (i.e., within the past six months). Car purchase behavior in terms of car price range has also been tested for different income groups, age groups and gender in National Capital Region (India). The data was collected through judgment sampling from 164 respondents, who recently purchased a new car for their personal use. The findings revealed that there is a significant association between materialism and different attitudes regarding the amount of money used by the respondents to purchase a car during the last six months. Level of materialism varies across different income levels and money attitude differs between males and females. Income was found to be the only variable that had significant association with choice of car price range. Age and gender did not seem to affect the car purchase behavior. This research has implications for the automobile industry and organizations in allied business activities, policy makers and marketers.

ABSTRACT The effects of various doses of testosterone propionate (TP) upon the release of luteinizing hormone (LH or ICSH) from the hypophysis of a gonadectomized male or female rat were compared. Prostate weight in hypophysectomized male parabiotic partners was used to evaluate the quantity of circulating LH. Hypophyseal LH was measured by the ovarian ascorbic acid depletion method. Males castrated when 45 days old secreted significantly more LH and had three times the amount of pituitary LH as ovariectomized females. Administration of 25 μg TP daily reduced the amount of LH in the plasma, and increased the amount in the pituitary gland, in both sexes. Treatment with 50 μg caused a further reduction in plasma LH in males, but not in females, while pituitary levels in both were equal to that of their respective controls. LH fell to the same low level in partners of males or females receiving 100 μg TP. When gonadectomized at 39 days, males and females had the same amount of plasma LH, but males had more stored hormone. Pituitary levels were unchanged from controls following treatment with 12.5, 25 or 50 μg TP daily, but plasma values dropped an equal amount in both sexes with the latter two doses. Androgenized males or females, gonadectomized when 39 days old, were very sensitive to the effects of TP and plasma LH was significantly reduced with 12.5 μg daily. Pituitary LH in androgenized males was higher than that of normal males but was reduced to normal by small amounts of TP. The amount of stored LH in androgenized females was not different from that of normal females and it was unchanged by any dose of TP tested. Results are consistent with the conclusion that the male hypothalamic-hypophyseal axis is at least as sensitive as the female axis to the negative feedback effects of TP. Androgenization increases the sensitivity to TP in both males and females.
