The elimination of a state “good time” policy allowed an examination of the effects of this policy on inmate behavior. Only inmates convicted of certain offenses were affected and the change was not retroactive, creating control groups not affected by the policy change. Data sources included misconduct reports (for relatively minor incidents), critical incident reports, and lists of inmates who participated in riots. Analyses of variance indicated that inmates not covered by the good time policy committed more misconducts and were more likely to participate in riots, but that main effects for time and type of offense accounted for these results. Critical incident data indicated a similar effect for type (but not time) of offense. These findings are discussed in terms of factors affecting inmate behavior and its measurement, prison management, and behavior theory.

Purpose: The paper analyzes consumer attitudes and related behavior towards organic products and determines the factors affecting consumer attitudes towards organic products andLithuanian consumers' choices. Methodology: Previous scientific works are analyzed and generalized in order to provide scientific substantiation for the research. A questionnaire survey is provided in order to approve the theoretically established factors in the Lithuanian market of organic products. The questionnaire is comprised of 23 statements representing eight latent variables: six possible reasons for the choice of an organic product (health issues; environmental concerns; food safety and quality; economic reasons; social reasons; psychological reasons) and two possible outcomes (intentions to choose organic products; actual organic product purchases). The survey results are based on the answers of 269 respondents representing the population of the four biggest cities in Lithuania. Findings: The results indicate the structural differences between theory and its application for the Lithuanian market; therefore, the factors are reestablished. The research results show the high level of Lithuanian consumers’ environmental consciousness; also, a willingness to share information relating to environmental issues with friends; and active engagement in sharing information about environmentally related issues. However, consumer awareness of the relationship between organic products, and health and quality issues is lower, indicating the necessity to be managed. Also, consumers do not express high agreement that organic products have to be more expensive; they do not intend to pay a higher price for them. Research results show that Lithuanian consumers do not choose organic products often and they also do not express conformable behavior (resulting from organic product purchases). Implications for theory and practice: The research results enable the ability to compose a clear framework of Lithuanian consumer attitudes and behavior towards organic products. The established factors affecting consumer attitudes and behavior can be further explored and modeled according to different market situations. Originality and value: Based on the results, companies can elaborate on effective marketing strategies fostering consumer attitudes and behavior in a particular way.

This research studies the factors that impact the behavior of the consumers of social media buyers. The retail business has changed radically over the most recent two decades, at first with the landing of computer-interface shopping and, more recently, with the emerging of mobile channels and social media stages. It is hard for e-commerce or e-retail companies to identify and influence the variables that drive consumers' attitudes and behavior. Different types of media affect people's conclusions, significantly depending on how much time they spend on such media. Facebook and Twitter are two examples of relatively older types of social media in correlation with newer social media networks, for example, Instagram. Furthermore, people use each type of social media for different purposes and based on their individual preferences.

The article substantiates the urgency of the problem of forming healthy lifestyle skills in students of general educational organizations. The authors proceed from the recognition of the leading role of a healthy lifestyle in the system of factors affecting human health, as well as from the requirements of the Federal state educational standards for personal educational results in the field of preservation and promotion of health. This study is devoted to an integrated assessment of the subjective prerequisites for a healthy lifestyle in students of general educational organizations. The article presents the results of a survey of students regarding their relationship to a healthy lifestyle in dynamics over a three-year period. The statistical data on the subjective prerequisites of a healthy lifestyle — ideas, motivation, behavior, which together determine the attitude to a healthy lifestyle as an integral phenomenon, is analyzed. The authors emphasize the interconnection and mutual influence of the subjective prerequisites of healthy lifestyle on the formation of sustainable habits of health-preserving behavior. The method of comparative analysis revealed the contradictions between knowledge and motivation, knowledge and behavior, motivation and behavior. The subjective psychological prerequisites for a healthy lifestyle are not consistent and contradict each other, which negatively affects the formation of healthy lifestyle habits. The ideas about the requirements of a healthy lifestyle are largely socially desirable and reflect the cognitive patterns of a healthy lifestyle transmitted in the sociocultural environment of children. The value of one’s own health is not realized and is not lived, and, as a result, understanding the importance of health and a healthy lifestyle does not contribute to the consolidation of conscious, focused and sustainable health-preserving behavior.

Wireless communications are here to stay; nevertheless, a number of individuals are still reluctant to use them for accessing the Web. This urges providers to better understand the concerns of consumers in order to better position the products and services in the market and to reduce the barriers that consumers may have in using WiFi – Wireless Fidelity Internet technologies. The present quantitative study was carried out for the purpose of assessing the effect of a number of constructs, identified in the past to affect the use of IT and WiFi use intention, as well as identifying the underlying factor structure of these constructs. It further aimed to assessing the overall attitudes and behavior of consumers towards WiFi use, as well as identifying and comparing WiFi users and non-users’ overall behavior towards WiFi use and their perceptions of factors determining WiFi adoption.
