This study investigates the impact of purchasing attitudes among Saudi customers within the online clothing environment. By collecting 410 responses from residents of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the study emphasizes the convenience aspect of online and virtual markets and employs advanced statistical techniques, specifically SPSS-AMOS software, including confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, and structural equation modeling. The findings reveal several key insights: perceived entertainment, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness significantly and positively influence the user experience on websites. The research highlights the importance of website quality indicators, such as perceived entertainment, ease of use, and usefulness, in shaping the user experience within the online clothing environment. It confirms that website quality, encompassing indicators of the user experience, exhibits a significant positive association with online impulse buying behavior. Additionally, the flow experience, which refers to the immersive and enjoyable state when browsing a website, also demonstrates a statistically significant and positive effect on online impulse buying behavior. These findings offer valuable insights for businesses and marketers seeking to understand and adapt to the evolving landscape of e-commerce, specifically concerning online clothing purchases.","PeriodicalId":90867,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychological studies","volume":"26 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141816854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If consciousness is a field, then one should be able to affect others by acting from the field of consciousness. This study used a random-assignment, double-blind design to probe effects of nine students practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique on the subjective experiences and physiological patterns of another student also practicing Transcendental Meditation. For 12 recording sessions, the group (sender) either practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique or read a textbook. When the group was meditating, the individual (receiver) reported more settled meditation experiences, and they exhibited higher alpha EEG power, a correlate of deep meditation experiences. Effect sizes for all measures were large. This was a pilot study to identify markers of field effects of consciousness. Future research could replicate these findings with a larger sample size, modify the distance between the sender and receiver, explore EEG synchrony between the senders and the receiver, called hyperscanning or collective neuroscience, and explore differential effects between friends, family, and strangers to test social influences. This design could meaningful probe the nature of consciousness.","PeriodicalId":90867,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychological studies","volume":"37 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141107881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Well-being is composed of complex elements. Of these elements, the promotion of executive function, which coordinates cognitive activities, via an effective method is important. Regarding the frontal pole in the anterior part of the prefrontal cortex, scholars presume that it is involved in advanced abilities, such as metacognition, and is essential for well-being. In today’s digital society, video games are appealing to children. Thus, a possibility exists that children can achieve certain aspects of well-being, such as a sense of achievement, perseverance, and happiness, by playing video games. In this regard, evidence that video games can be used to activate the prefrontal cortex is accumulating. In light of this discussion, this study hypothesizes that playing video games may affect the frontal pole and analyzes the brain activation of the frontal pole using video games compared with a mental abacus activity. The results demonstrate that playing through an educational game called Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain exhibited more activation potential than mental abacus in many points.","PeriodicalId":90867,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychological studies","volume":"9 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141110045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several treatments are available, including chemotherapy using anticancer or cytotoxic drugs, blood or platelet transfusions, and stem cell transplants. In this study, a 33-year-old woman shares her experience of attempting to conceive while undergoing treatment for myelodysplastic syndromes. The study aimed to explore the psychosocial difficulties women with a history of cancer treatment may encounter when trying to get pregnant. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were undertaken, recorded, and transcribed verbatim. The transcript was analyzed by narrative analysis. Four themes were identified: 1) Support from loved ones, 2) Challenges in conceiving, 3) Emotional ups and downs during pregnancy, and 4) The joy of motherhood. A cancer diagnosis can devastate young women, primarily if the treatment affects their fertility. These women must have the support of their husbands. Fortunately, many methods are available to assist women in successfully conceiving, although the journey can be difficult and emotional. The ups and downs of the process are inevitable, but the desire to become a mother makes it all worth it in the end. Cancer treatment for myelodysplastic syndromes and related conditions can profoundly impact childbearing women. Such women may face significant challenges if they plan to have a child after treatment. Hence, further research with more women with the diagnosis of MDS is imperative in this critical area.","PeriodicalId":90867,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychological studies","volume":"111 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140079442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, secondary school teachers increasingly develop counter-productive behaviours (aggression at work, slow work, lateness at work, absenteeism) to the detriment of respect for ethics, professional conduct and the obligation to personally ensure the public service entrusted to them. The general hypothesis is as follows: the working climate increases the counter-productive behaviors of teachers. The data collection method is the survey, and the tool is the questionnaire in the form of a measurement scale. The simple random sampling yielded a sample of 151 participants. The instrument for measuring perceived working climate is Parker & al. (2003), which is an adaptation in French of the James and Jones scale (1974); the scale of counter-productive behaviours is that of Aubé & al (2009). The results are as follows: HR1 (β= -.44; p=.00); HR2 (β=.55; p=.00); HR3 (β= -.40; p=.00); HR4 (β= -.44; p=.00); HR5 (β= -.10; p=.35). These results show that our research hypothesis are statistically significant and that HR1 ; HR3; HR4; HR5 are rejected while HR2 is confirmed. the general hypothesis is significant P<.005 for most research hypotheses; this same general hypothesis is not validated. The perceived working climate does not increase the counter-productive behaviors of secondary school teachers in Cameroon.","PeriodicalId":90867,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychological studies","volume":"36 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139010241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Job performance is identified as the actions or behaviors that are relevant to an organization&rsquo;s goal and is measured by each individual&rsquo;s proficiency (Conte &amp; Landy, 2019). Campbell identified multiple factors that contribute to job performance that are declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge, and motivation (Conte &amp; Landy, 2019). Variables can impact and have a direct impact on one&rsquo;s performance if one of the factors are changed (Conte &amp; Landy, 2019). One of the biggest factors of job performance is burnout and stress and its impact on a teacher&rsquo;s motivation. Burnout is described as prolonged or chronic job stress that happens over time and is consistent and repeated (Hills, 2019). Burnout is marked by exhaustion; feeling emotionally drained; cynicism/less identification with the job; alienation; and feelings of reduced professional ability. This reduced capacity means that some people do not see any value to what they are doing or contributing (Hills, 2019). What happens to an individual who becomes burned out is that there is the extinction of motivation or incentive to a cause (i.e., the organization) (Hills, 2019). When looking at reasons for burnout/demotivating conditions, several areas of concern are highlighted that include a lack of control, lack of resources, unclear or impossible job expectations, dysfunctional workplace, a mismatch in workplace values, poor job fit, and work&ndash;life imbalance (Hills, 2019).","PeriodicalId":90867,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychological studies","volume":"51 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136104795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
