AbstractSeveral studies in consumer behavior have focused on consumers’ shopping orientation in terms of hedonic and utilitarian shopping. The present research advances a different perspective examining hedonic and utilitarian shopping orientations with the theoretical lenses of construal-level theory. Results from two studies indicate that hedonism relates to higher and utilitarianism to lower construal levels (Study 1). Consequently, individuals tend to prefer desirability-related options when shopping hedonically, and feasibility-related options when shopping in a utilitarian way (Study 2). The findings further show a moderating effect of construal level on the relationship between shopping orientation and choice, consistent with construal-level theory.

This study aimed to determine the level of adherence to the research ethical standards and research creativity in psychological and educational studies, and to identify the nature of the relationship between adherence to ethical standards and research creativity, as well as to identify the differences in both adherence to the research ethical standards and research creativity due to (gender, scientific degree, number of publications) variables. The researcher selected a random sample of (142) of the researchers in psychological and educational disciplines. There ages ranged between (26- 57) years. The researcher applied the scale of adherence to the research ethical standards and scale of research creativity, all of these tools prepared by the researcher. The results showed that there was a low level of adherence to the research ethical standards as well as low level of research creativity. Also there was a statistical significant strong positive correlation between adherence to research ethical standards and research creativity (R = 0.945), and also found statistically significant differences (0.01) among the average scores in adherence to the research adherence to ethical standards and research creativity due to gender (in favor of females), Scientific degree (in favor of doctoral and post-doctoral researchers), and the number of published researches (in favor of researchers who published more than 6 research and more who are publish more than Of 10 research). The results of the simple regression analysis also indicated that adherence to the research ethical standards is a statistical and powerful indicator of research creativity. The researcher explained the findings in light of the theoretical framework and previous studies, and developed a number of recommendations.

Meaning in movement is an enduring topic in sport social sciences, but few studies have explored how sport is meaningful and for whom. The authors examined the relationships between demographic variables, meaningfulness of sport, and craftsmanship. Athletes (N = 258, 61.6% male, age ≥18) from the United Kingdom completed a demographic questionnaire, the Work and Meaning Inventory modified for sport, and the Craftsmanship Scale. Older age and individual sport significantly correlated with higher craftsmanship. Craftsmanship and religion were two independent predictors of meaningfulness, but emphasized somewhat different meaning dimensions. Meaningfulness in sport seems to be related to how athletes approach their craft, as well as their overall framework of life meaning.

Background: Poor teaching and lack of proper relations between teacher and student and various other causes affect students’ academic burnout. Objectives: Present study was conducted to determine the relationship between educational justice and academic burnout in medical interns of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran. Methods: This study was descriptive and analytical. The number of samples was equal to 300 medical interns identified and entered by the census sampling method. Data were completed by two questionnaires (researcher-made educational justice and burnout standard) whose reliability and validity were confirmed. Data were analyzed by SPSS Version 22. Results: There was no significant relationship between educational justice and academic burnout (P>0.05). Also, educational justice was below average and academic burnout was above average. There was a significant relationship between educational justice score and gender (P<0.05), and there was no critical relationship with other demographic variables (P>0.05). There was no significant relationship between academic burnout score and all demographic variables (P>0.05). Conclusion: This study concluded that causes other than educational justice have been influential on students’ academic burnout. Hence, it suggested that studies be conducted on high academic burnout and identify influential variables. On the other hand, although the relationship between the two variables was not significant, due to the low level of educational justice, the university’s need for fair educational opportunities, especially professors, should be considered.
