Customers purchasing behavior has changed radically in the course of the most recent couple of years. The study aimed to identify major factors determining consumer's choice rules of the non-banking financial company (NBFC) for availing consumer durable loans (CDLs). Essential information was gathered from 100 respondents by utilizing a survey including eight factors, recognized dependent on an audit of writing. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was utilized as an extraction strategy by utilizing factor analysis. Three factors were isolated by using Eigenvalues standards and these three factors were assigned names such as service delivery, terms & conditions, and safety and security of fund respectively. It was suggested from the study that the non-banking financial companies aimed to expand their business should take cognizance of these factors in their marketing strategies.

The company's application design is very important because it displays the company's image and to attract more users to purchase/utilize the application. This research applies Kansei Engineering Method to analyze the emotion or feelings of the user towards the design of a mobile application interface. Six Kansei Words and three specimens are utilised in this research, where Kansei words are selected from words related to user experience. The participants of this research consist of 54 students from Maranatha Christian University. Participants’ responses are studied using multivariate statistical analysis (e.g., Coefficient Correlation Analysis, Principal Component Analysis, and Factor Analysis). This study explores the emotional factors that occur in designing an application. This analysis shows that there are some major factors that greatly influence the design of a mobile application interface.

Categorical Principal Component Analysis

This article identifies consumers' impulse purchasing behavior in supermarkets. The study includes an interpretation of the impulse decision relationship with the final purchase and an analysis of the distribution of impulse purchasers' demographic characteristics (age and shoppers' company). SPSS was used to analyze the observed data at a national retail supermarket chain. The logistic regression model was developed in order to identify the explanatory power of the variables. Categorical principal component analysis was employed to analyze the distribution of the variables. Empirical findings indicated that “impulsive decision” has a stronger intensity on “purchase” than “gender” does. Impulsive customers are split into three age groups and two company categories. These results could be used to design marketing strategies in order to increase sales. However, a few limitations occurred during the study such as: observation timing, unicity of location and observers' subjectivity.

Metacognitive Beliefs

Metacognition is a higher-level cognition of identifying one’s own mental status, beliefs, and intentions. This research comprised a survey of 184 people with schizophrenia to verify the reliability of the metacognitive rating scale (MCRS) with the revised and supplemented metacognitions questionnaire (MCQ) to measure the dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs of people with schizophrenia by adding the concepts of anger and anxiety. This study analyzed the data using principal component analysis and the varimax method for exploratory factor analysis. To examine the reliability of the extracted factors, Cronbach’s α was used. According to the results, reliability was ensured for five factors: positive beliefs about worry, negative beliefs about uncontrollability and danger of worry, cognitive confidence, need for control, and cognitive self-consciousness. The negative beliefs about uncontrollability and danger of worry and the need for control on anger expression, which were both added in this research, exhibited the highest correlation (r = 0.727). The results suggest that the MCRS is a reliable tool to measure the metacognition of people with schizophrenia.

Abstract Background Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) surveys play an important role in understanding subjective patient experiences in oral health care. The Oral Impact on Daily Performance (OIDP) scale is a validated OHRQoL tool that measures the impact and extent to which an individual’s daily activities may be compromised by their oral health. It is commonly used to facilitate oral health service planning. The aim of this study was to modify and validate a Sinhalese version of the OIDP for use in Sri Lankan adolescents. Methods The stage I involved cultural adaptation of the tool through translation and modification. After translation and cultural adaptation, the modified OIDP was tested on 220, 15-19 year secondary school students in the Gampaha district, Sri Lanka. The adolescents completed the modified OIDP scale along with questions on self-reported perceived oral health problems and treatment need which were used to assesses the concurrent validity of the modified OIDP scale. Stage II and III involved the exploring factor structure, validation and a reliability assessment. Factorability was assessed by inspection of correlation matrix and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity tests as a measure of sampling adequacy. An exploratory factor analysis was carried out using Principal Component Analysis method and factors were rotated using the oblimin method. Results 220 adolescents participated in factor analysis and validation studies. The most prevalent oral health impact related to chewing and enjoying foods, reported by 36.8% of respondents The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure was 0.87 and Bartlett’s test of Sphericity was significant (p<0.001) Cronbach’s alpha was calculated as 0.88, indicating a high level of internal consistency. The principal component analysis produced two factors with Eigen values ranging from 1.12 to 4.40, explaining 70.0% of total variance. Concurrent validity was satisfactory as the OIDP score increased when the adolescents’ perceived oral health decreased.Conclusion This study showed that the modified OIDP scale is applicable for use among adolescents in Sri Lanka. It has promising psychometric properties but further research is required to use this tool in other cohorts.
