Exploring relationships between customer-based brand equity and its drivers and consequences in the hotel context. An impact-asymmetry assessment
2016
The development of customer-based brand equity plays a critical role in tourism. This paper attempts to study which variables contribute to brand equity creation and to examine whether brand loyalty can be considered as a consequence of brand equity in the hotel context. In addition, it seeks to provide a more detailed insights into possible asymmetric effects among customer-based brand equity and its drivers and consequences. Four constructs are found to influence significantly brand equity: two perceptual (image and perceived quality) and two relational variables (trust and affective commitment). Additionally, both behavioural and attitudinal components of loyalty are confirmed as brand e…
Psychosocial safety climate: Conceptual distinctiveness and effect on job demands and worker psychological health
2012
Abstract Psychosocial safety climate is an emerging construct that refers to shared perceptions regarding policies, practices, and procedures for the protection of worker psychological health and safety. The purpose of the research was to: (1) demonstrate that psychosocial safety climate is a construct distinct from related climate measures (i.e., physical safety climate, team psychological safety, and perceived organizational support); and (2) test the proposition that organizational psychosocial safety climate determines work conditions (i.e., job demands) and subsequently worker psychological health. We used samples from two different cultures; an Australian sample (N = 126 workers in 16…
Vardarbības pieredzes un uztvertā sociālā atbalsta saistība ar pozitīvu un negatīvu simptomu izteiktību šizofrēnijas pacientu vidū
2019
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot saistības starp šizofrēnijas pozitīvajiem un negatīvajiem simptomiem, bērnībā piedzīvoto vardarbību un sociālo atbalstu, kā arī noteikt, cik lielā mērā vardarbība un sociālais atbalsts prognozē simptomu izteiktību. Izlasi veidoja 120 dalībnieki ar diagnozi šizofrēnija – 78 sievietes un 42 vīrieši vecumā no 21 līdz 79 gadiem (M=43,28; SD=12,93). Vardarbības pieredze tika mērīta ar Bērnības traumas aptauju (Bernstein et al., 1994), sociālais atbalsts ar Daudzdimensionālo uztvertā sociālā atbalsta skalu (Zimet et al., 1988), šizofrēnijas simptomu izteiktība ar Pozitīvo un Negatīvo simptomu aptauju (Iancu, 2005). Pētījuma rezultāti parāda, ka izteiktāka vardarbīb…
What makes a (ro)bot smart? : examining the antecedents of perceived intelligence in the context of using physical robots, software robots, and chatb…
2022
In recent years, the acceptance and use of intelligent robots and other kinds of intelligent systems have begun to gain more and more attention also in information systems research. Here, many studies have found the perceived intelligence of robots to act as one critical antecedent for their acceptance and use, but few studies have focused on the antecedents of perceived intelligence itself. In this study, we aimed to address this gap in prior research by examining the effects of individual intelligence dimensions on the overall intelligence perception of robots in the work context. In addition, we also examined the potential differences in these effects as well as in the individual intelli…
Chemsex and Sexual Well-Being in Young Polish Men
2023
Chemsex refers to the use of psychoactive drugs for sexual purposes—before or during sex. This phenomenon mainly affects men, in particular those belonging to the LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer/questioning, asexual, and more diverse individuals) community. From the perspective of the transactional theory of stress, chemsex can be considered a strategy for coping with stress, which is why it is also extremely important to verify its role in functioning outside the sexual sphere. For this reason, this study verified the relationship between the use of chemsex, perceived stress, sexual well-being, and life satisfaction in young Polish men. The study involved 175…
Affective, Social, and Cognitive Outcomes During a 1-Year Wintering in Concordia
2016
International audience; This study investigated time patterns and the relationships between perceived stress, recovery, control, attention lapses, and defense mechanisms (DM) during a 12-month wintering in Concordia polar station with an international crew of 14 volunteers. This ICE (Isolated, Confined, Extreme) environment induced some stress, mainly in the social dimension and showed relationships (a) between DM and both stress and recovery and (b) between recovery and perceived control, highlighting the roles of DM and control in psychological adaptation. These results offer additional insights into the affective, social, and cognitive processes involved in adaptation. The findings sugge…
Structure of self-rated health among the oldest old: Analyses in the total population and those living with dementia
2020
No previous study has explored the structure of self-rated health (SRH), a measure holding strong predictive value for future health events, in the oldest old or in individuals with dementia. The aim was to construct a structural equation model of SRH for oldest old in general and for oldest old with dementia, and to explore direct and indirect associations between health-related factors and SRH. Cross-sectional data from the Vitality 90+, a population-based study in the city of Tampere, Finland, was used. Data were gathered by a mailed questionnaire in 2014. Altogether 1299 nonagenarians, of which 408 had self-reported dementia or cognitive decline, were included. Structural equation model…
Autoeficacia percibida y rendimiento técnico-táctico en taekwondistas universitarios
2016
Este trabajo analiza el rendimiento deportivo y la autopercepción por medio de metodología observacional y el análisis de autoeficacia, respectivamente, según el género y el éxito de los deportistas en taekwondo. Se presentan dos estudios: el estudio 1, con dos objetivos, pretendió analizar (i) las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Autoeficacia Percibida en Acciones de Taekwondo (CAPAT) y (ii) la autoeficacia de los taekwondistas según el género y el éxito en combate. El estudio 2 buscó analizar el rendimiento técnico-táctico de los taekwondistas según el género y el éxito en combate. Los participantes fueron deportistas universitarios (estudio 1, N = 86; estudio 2, N = 85) con …
Perception of quality and complexity in wine and their links to varietal typicality: An investigation involving Pinot noir wine and professional tast…
2020
International audience; Quality and complexity are abstract terms employed frequently to describe a wine's overall attributes. In the present study, we investigated: (i) attributes driving wine professionals' judgments of quality and complexity in Pinot noir wines; (ii) the relation between these two abstract concepts; and (iii) association of each concept with varietal typicality. Twenty-two wine professionals evaluated 18 New Zealand Pinot noir wines in both clear and opaque glassware via two sensory tasks, a descriptive rating task and an 8-attribute, perceived complexity questionnaire. Sensory data were associated with wine UV-spectrophotometry colour measures to aid interpretation of t…
A High speed data link optimization for digitalized transfer to processing FPGA
2021
State-of-the-art arrays of detectors, that require digital processing, may have a sizeable number of digitalized signal links. This is the case in several experimental nuclear physics instruments. Moreover, the data rate of the sampled signals, defined primary by the signal bandwidth of the individual detectors, may not exhaust the capabilities of a single FPGA transceiver input. The preprocessing is usually carried out in a modern FPGA with transceiver data rate capabilities over 10Gbps. Moreover, cost effective FPGA have a limited number of transceivers for given FPGA processing capabilities. The investigation of a cost-effective and efficient solution to the mismatch between both data ra…
