AbstractPsychology deals with not only mental disorders but also psychological strengths within individuals. Psychological strengths will play an important role in struggling with the global novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The present study tested a model concerning the relationship between resilience, hope, and subjective happiness using structural equation modeling to identify the mediating role of fear of COVID-19. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among a convenience sample of 971 Turkish individuals (aged 18 to 74 years) from 75 of 81 cities in Turkey. The survey included the Subjective Happiness Scale, Fear of COVID-19 Scale, Brief Resilience Scale, and the Dispositional Hope Scale, and data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The SEM demonstrated an association between resilience–hope and subjective happiness was mediated by fear of COVID-19 (CMIN/df = 2.664, CFI = 0.994, NFI = 0.984, TLI = 0.984, GFI = 0.994, RMSEA = 0.044, SRMR = 0.024, AIC = 81.334, ECVI = 0.084). Resilience had a direct effect and an indirect effect on subjective happiness via fear of COVID-19. Hope also had a direct effect and an indirect effect on subjective happiness via fear of COVID-19. Consequently, in the fight against COVID-19, individuals who are resistant to stress and have a belief that they can find a way to cope can help prevent the fear of COVID-19 and so enhance good mental health.

The drive-through fast-food industry has been one of the fastest businesses growing over the past decades in developing countries, including the Philippines. The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors influencing costumers’ repurchase intention in a drive-through fast food in the Philippines by utilizing the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. A total of 305 Filipinos answered the online questionnaire, which contained 38 questions. The results of SEM indicated that subjective appetite (SA) was found to have a significant direct effect on menu options (MO). Consequently, MO was found to have significant direct effects on imagery elaboration (IE), vividness (VV), and convenience (CO), and an indirect effect on order accuracy (OA). Finally, SA, MO, IE, VV, OA, and CO were found to have significant effects on satisfaction (S), which subsequently led to loyalty (L) and repurchase intention (RI). Interestingly, MO was found to have the highest indirect effect on RI, indicating that MO is an important consideration for RI. This is the first comprehensive study evaluating drive-through fast food in the Philippines. The causal relationships of the present study can be applied and extended to evaluate the repurchase intention of drive-through fast food in other countries.

In this article we describe the results of an ongoing effort to better understand the caregiving process in families of children with severe emotional problems. We make two assumptions. First, we assume that these families are essentially like other families but are faced with a special challenge in raising and caring for their special children while at the same time performing the multiple tasks and demands faced by all families. Second, we assume that public policy and programs must be supportive of the care of these children in their own homes and communities whenever possible. The purpose of this article is to present a model of family caregiving that draws broadly from available theory and empirical literature in multiple fields and to subject this model to empirical testing. We use structural equation modeling with latent variables to estimate an empirical model based on the theoretical model. Results of the model testing point to the importance of the child's external problem behaviors and the family's socioeconomic status and coping strategies as determinants of caregiver stress. Other findings highlight difficulties in measuring and modeling the complex mediating process, which includes formal and informal supports, perceptions, and coping behaviors. The use of structural equation modeling can benefit our efforts to support families by making explicit our theories about the important dimensions of this process and the relationship between these dimensions, which can then be subjected to measurement and validation.

Transportation is an activity which moving a person or an object from one place to another place. Transportation is done not for desire, it is a derived demand for humans to do the activities for fulfiling their daily needs. Shopping is one of the activities that comply their daily needs. Nowdays, online shopping is a trend. Besides easy to do, online shopping can be done any where and any time because of its online system. Along with the growth of online shopping, a lot of people prefer online shopping rather than traditional shopping to shops, markets, shopping centers and other places. Thisthings could change number of people on doing shopping trips. Thisresearch aimsto find out what factors effects someone’s decision to shop online and find out wether online shopping has a direct effect on shopping trips done by people. Data for this reseach collected by quistionnaire. This research will be done with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Method. This research shows that experience and trust are strong factors on someone for making decision to shop online and shows that online shopping did not effect directly to people’s shopping trips.ABSTRAKTransportasi adalah kegiatan perpindahan tempat orang atau suatu benda dari satu tempat ke tempat lainnya. Transportasi dilakukan bukan karena keinginan, melainkan sebuah kebutuhan turunan karena manusia harus melakukan aktivitas untuk memenuhi kebutuhan mereka sehari-hari. Belanja adalah salah satu kegiatan yang dilakukan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari. Belanja online sendiri menjadi sangat trend saat ini. Belanja online selain mudah untuk dilakukan, bisa dilakukan kapan saja, dimana saja karena sistemnya yang bersifat online. Seiring dengan perkembangan belanja online, tidak sedikit orang yang lebih memilih melakukan belanja online dibandingkan melakukan belanja langsung ke toko, pasar, pusat perbelanjaan, dan tempat lainnya. Hal ini bisa jadi mempengaruhi jumlah orang yang melakukan perjalanan belanja. Penelitian ini dilakukan mengetahui faktor apa saja yang berperan dalam keputusan seseorang melakukan belanja online dan mengetahui apakah belanja online berpengaruh secara langsung terhadap perjalanan belanja yang dilakukan masyarakat. Data untuk penelitian didapatkan melalui kuesioner. Penelitian ini akan menggunakan Metode Structural Equation Modeling atau SEM. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa pengalaman dan kepercayaan adalah dua faktor yang kuat dalam penentuan keputusan seseorang melakukan belanja online dan belanja online tidak mempengaruhi perjalanan belanja secara langsung
