The moderating effect of understanding advertising intent on the relation between advertising recognition and problematic use of loot boxes among minors: An exploratory study.

The use of loot boxes has been compared to gambling due to its random nature, with the consequent risk of being conceived as an ordinary activity implemented in the daily routine. One of the factors contributing to these gambling behaviors is exposure to gambling advertisements. It is essential to protect children and adolescents from prejudicial advertising, since due to their psycho-evolutionary development, advertising makes them impressionable and suggestible. Currently, there is scarcely any research on the influence of advertising on underage buyers of loot boxes. Knowledge in this regard is important to adequately address efforts to protect minors from the potential impact of gambling and its advertising. Thus, this study aims to examine how understanding advertising intent in loot box advertising moderates the relationship between the recognition of loot box advertising and the problematic usage of loot boxes in a sample of adolescents. The present study used a cross-sectional design, and the sample is composed by 451 adolescents (85.8 % male) that played videogames and purchased loot boxes in the last 12 months. Results indicated that understanding advertising intent played a moderating role in the relationship between advertising recognition and Problematic Use of Loot Boxes, strengthening it positively. The findings showed that when there was a low degree of understanding advertising intent, the former relationship was not significant. However, with a high level of understanding advertising intent the relationship between advertising recognition and Problematic Use of Loot Boxes was significant and strengthened. This means that knowing how ads try persuading the player affects how adverts are linked to PULB. Specifically, if adolescents understand that ads are trying to sell them loot boxes, this knowledge makes the relationship between seeing ads and having PULB stronger. These results are of interest for advertising literacy strategies.

Parents' Intentions of Human Papillomavirus Vaccination for Students in Vietnam: A Cross-Sectional Study.

BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is known as a common agent of sexually transmitted infections and cervical cancer. One of the most effective ways for parents to protect their children from HPV is by ensuring they receive vaccinations. AIM: To determine the percentage of parents who intend to vaccinate their children against HPV and associated factors. METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 365 parents who had children attending high school in Ha Tinh province, Vietnam, from April to May 2023, using stratified and random sampling methods. Data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire designed based on previous studies and the domains of the Theory of Planned Behavior and Health Belief Model. A multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine the association between several factors and vaccination status. RESULT: A total of 365 participants took part in the study. The rate of parents intending to vaccinate their children against HPV was 55.9%. Knowledge about the HPV disease and vaccine (all P < .05) and the attitude of parents (P < .001) were determined as the motivation factors that affect the intention to vaccinate children against HPV. CONCLUSION: Many parents still do not have the intention to vaccinate children against HPV. Health education communication should focus on the motivation factors, not only to improve the parents' knowledge and perspective but also to increase the coverage of the vaccine to prevent cancers caused by HPV.

Impact of Five Types of Front-of-Package Nutrition Labels on Consumer Behavior among Young Adults: A Systematic Review.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that governments promote and implement front-of-package (FoP) nutrition labels to prevent noncommunicable diseases. Recently, additional research has focused on various views on FoP label creation. However, few review studies have examined how different FoP labels affect young consumer behavior. Therefore, this study thoroughly analyzed the evidence on how FoP labels in five categories affect young consumer purchasing intention and behavior. We searched for keywords in the Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCO databases and screened study samples according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Fourteen studies that matched the criteria were included in this review. We discovered that numerous studies support the efficacy of the "graded indicators" category labels, with the "color-coded" and "positive logos" categories trailing closely behind. The effectiveness of the "warning" FoP label category is mixed on consumers' healthy purchasing behavior and intention. The numerical FoP labels were most commonly used to indicate ineffectiveness. Future studies should investigate the effects of FoP labels on various subpopulations and conduct thorough evaluations of the design elements of FoP labels. Also, they should offer evidence-based recommendations, supported by both quantitative and qualitative data, for regions that have not yet implemented FoP labeling systems.

Factors related to the intention of choosing shared E-scooters for metro transfer: A survey study integrating weather perception into satisfaction evaluation from Changsha.

Shared E-scooter (SE) travel is a low-carbon transportation method that can be further enhanced by integrating with metro systems. This study aims to quantify the impact of the built environment, attitude preferences, weather perception, and other factors on the evaluation and intention to use the "SE-metro transfer" travel mode, as well as how to efficiently and concisely measure and model these effects. Empirical analysis was conducted using questionnaire data from Changsha, China, with 683 participants surveyed. Three satisfaction models were established and compared based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and an optimal M2 model was expanded to incorporate users' subjective perceptions of weather, proposing a method to simplify questionnaire length. The study found that well-designed vehicles and infrastructure, along with necessary supporting facilities, play important roles in enhancing SE usage. However, there are still many areas for optimization in Changsha's SE policies. Despite the advantages of SE in terrain and physical fitness, which have significantly expanded and changed their user base compared to traditional shared bicycles, there is still much potential to adapt to the middle-aged and older user groups. The results of this study can provide valuable insights for professionals and government officials in designing systems, constructing infrastructure, and formulating policies.

Factors related to evacuation intention when a Level 4 evacuation order was issued among people with mental health illnesses using group homes in Japan: A cross-sectional study.

This study aimed to identify factors related to the intention to evacuate in a disaster following a Level 4 evacuation order among people with mental health illnesses living in group homes in Japan. The participants were people with mental health conditions living in group homes in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. We created an original self-administered questionnaire and conducted a survey among this group. Of the 625 people with mental health conditions using group homes, 152 (24.3%) responded. Of these, 110 (5.9%) who provided valid data were included in the analysis. A total of 85 (77.3%) people said that they intended to evacuate in the event of a Level 4 evacuation order. We controlled for gender, age group, type of disability, experience of participating in disaster training, fear of contracting COVID-19 during evacuation, and earthquake and flood disaster experience as confounders. After controlling for these variables, the factors associated with intention to evacuate under a Level 4 evacuation order included not having emergency food prepared (odds ratio [OR] 3.81, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-14.08); believing that group home users would help them during disasters (OR 3.08, 95% CI: 1.04-9.12); and planning to ask the local government for help (OR 2.84, 95% CI: 1.01-8.01). Group home managers should be aware that people who do not believe that other group home residents would help them, and those not wishing to seek help from local government, may decide not to evacuate. Longitudinal studies across diverse regions are needed to identify factors that affect evacuation intention.

The Role of Work-Life Balance, Work Stress, and Work-Family Conflict in Creating Job Satisfaction and Their Impact on Turnover Intention in Nurses at Level I Health Facilities Hospital in Karawang.

Turnover intention research with the addition of independent variables of work-life balance and work stress in nurses with health backgrounds is rarely found in type c public hospitals in Karawang city, where literature about this research needs to explain it. This research aims to ascertain how work-life balance, workplace stress, and work-family conflict affect nurses' intentions to quit their jobs by using job satisfaction as a mediator. The sampling for this study was carried out using the probability sampling method known as proportionate stratified random sampling. A total of 550 nurses from 4 schools submitted responses. Work-life balance, work-related stress, and job happiness all significantly influence the likelihood of turnover. The desire to increase or reduce hospital turnover is significantly influenced by work-life balance, stress at work, and work-family conflict. This study has limitations that can lead to imperfect conclusions because the sample used is only the nurse division, so this study can only be generalized to some other districts. The variables studied still need to be reviewed to affect turnover intention by mediating job satisfaction.

Development and validation of the intention to use the ICD-11 questionnaire in the Malaysian medical records context.

As health systems transition to ICD-11, it is essential to gauge the readiness and improve existing transition efforts. Assessing the intention to use ICD-11 and factors influencing it is imperative to encourage the use of ICD-11 among the medical record officers (MROs) and assistant medical record officers (AMROs). This study aims to develop and validate a questionnaire on the factors influencing the intention to use ICD-11 among MROs and AMROs in the Ministry of Health, Malaysia. This study comprised a questionnaire development and validation involving 292 participants nationwide from Ministry of Health Malaysia facilities. The questionnaire was developed based on items adapted from the literature. Forward and backward English-Malay translation was done. Then, the questionnaire was examined for content validity, internal consistency reliability, construct validity, face validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity and confirmatory factor analyses. The final version of the questionnaire consists of eleven domains represented by 50 items. The content validity index and modified kappa were excellent for all domains. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin sampling adequacy value was appropriate, with a value of 0.790. The questionnaire also demonstrated good internal consistency reliability with Cronbach's alpha values between 0.850 and 0.992. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a reasonable fit for this eleven-factor model. In conclusion, this questionnaire provides a reliable tool for investigating the intention to use ICD-11 among MROs and AMROs. Positive findings from the psychometric properties support the validity of the questionnaire. This instrument can potentially support personnel in charge of ICD codification, guide the ICD-11 transition at various levels and facilitate research on support dynamics among the MROs and AMROs.

Effect of an Inflatable Colon on Colorectal Cancer Knowledge and Screening Intent Among Male Attendees at State Fairs in Two Midwestern States, 2023.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most-diagnosed cancer among men and women in the US. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of an interactive inflatable colon exhibit on CRC knowledge and screening intent among men attending state fairs in 2 midwestern states. Methods: At the 2023 state fairs in 2 midwestern states, eligible participants (men aged 18-75 y who could speak and read English and resided in 1 of the 2 states) completed a presurvey, an unguided tour of the inflatable Super Colon, and a postsurvey. Primary outcomes were changes in knowledge (actual and perceived) and CRC screening intent from presurvey to postsurvey. We used χ2 tests to examine differences in survey results between the 2 sites and the association between demographic characteristics and behaviors (knowledge and intentions) before entering the Super Colon exhibit. We used the McNemar test to examine differences in presurvey to postsurvey distributions. Results: The study sample (N = 940) comprised 572 men at site A (60.8%) and 368 men at site B (39.2%). Except for 1 question, baseline CRC knowledge was relatively high. Greater perceived knowledge was inversely associated with greater actual knowledge. After touring the Super Colon, participants improved their actual knowledge of CRC prevention and self-perceived CRC knowledge. Most participants (95.4%) agreed that the Super Colon was effective for teaching people about CRC. Conclusion: These findings emphasize the role of community-based educational initiatives in encouraging CRC screening uptake and increasing research participation among men and affirm that the inflatable colon is as an effective educational tool for increasing CRC knowledge and encouraging early-detection screening behavior among men.

Analysis of turnover intention and influencing factors among female nurses with two children in Grade A tertiary public hospitals in Sichuan province: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: This study aims to examine the current status of turnover intention among female nurses with two children and explore the factors influencing their decision to resign, ultimately providing a basis for reducing nurses' turnover intention and stabilizing the nursing workforce. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to select 1,370 in-service female nurses with two children from 65 Grade A tertiary public hospitals in Sichuan Province from September to December 2023. Data was collected through a general information questionnaire, work-family behavioral role conflict scale, regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and turnover intention scale. Results: This study revealed that the average score for turnover intention among female nurses with two children was (13.11 ± 3.93). There was a positive correlation between work-family behavioral role conflict and turnover intention (r = 0.485, p < 0.01), while regulatory emotional self-efficacy showed a negative correlation with turnover intention (r = -0.382, p < 0.01). The main influencing factors for resignation among these nurses included age, number of night shifts per month, average monthly income, primary caregiver for children, work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict, and the ability to express positive emotions (POS), the capacity to regulate negative emotions such as despondency/distress (DES), and the skill to manage anger/irritation (ANG). Collectively, these factors explained 29.5% of the total variance in turnover intention scores. Conclusion: Turnover intention among female nurses with two children is relatively high. To address this issue, hospital managers shall implement effective measures through various channels to settle work-family conflict, enhance nurses' regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and reduce turnover intention resulting from work-family conflict. Together, these efforts will reduce nurse turnover and foster a stable nursing workforce.

Knowledge and intentions to use fertility preservation among urban Chinese cancer patients: A study from Hong Kong.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the knowledge levels and fertility preservation (FP) intentions of urban Chinese cancer patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on Hong Kong Chinese male and female cancer patients aged 18-54 years (N = 325) who were recruited by a local non-governmental organization for cancer patients between July 2020 to January 2021. Patients completed a self-administered questionnaire on knowledge, perceptions, and intentions to use FP services/seek FP-related information. Multivariable logistic regression was used to explore the correlates of intention to seek additional FP information and intention to undergo FP treatments. RESULTS: Although cancer patients demonstrated a good knowledge of the available FP treatment options, they were less knowledgeable about the legal restrictions of these procedures. Only one in seven cancer patients first became aware of FP through a health provider and the majority of cancer patients felt they did not have adequate knowledge about FP to make informed FP decisions at the current time. Yet, over one-third of cancer patients would consider FP options even if their cancer or cancer treatment had < 5% chance of causing infertility, and 13.4% of females and 14.6% of males would delay their cancer treatment by ≥ 3 months to undergo FP procedures. However, for both sexes, the main perceived barrier to obtaining FP was its financial cost. Patients with older-aged spouses were less likely to seek FP treatments or seek more information about FP. CONCLUSION: There is an unmet need for more FP information and FP services for reproductive-aged cancer patients in East Asian populations. Greater integration of FP services into cancer treatment requires a reduction of cost barriers, greater provision of timely FP information, and improved referral systems.

Mental Health and Other Factors Associated with COVID-19 Vaccination Intention toward Children of Military Parents in Lambayeque, Peru.

There is evidence that vaccine acceptability is strongly associated with mental health. However, no studies assessing intention to vaccinate (ITV) intention toward children of military parents have been documented. The current research aimed to establish the prevalence and factors of ITV children against COVID-19 in military parents in Lambayeque-Peru, 2021. Analysis was conducted with the dependent variable ITV children reported by military parents. The independent variables were history of mental health, searching for mental health support, food insecurity, resilience, anxiety, depression, burnout, posttraumatic stress, and suicidal risk. Prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated. Of 201 military personnel evaluated, 92.5% were male, 82.5% were of the Catholic faith, and the median age was 40.9% of respondents reported seeking mental health help during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was reported anxiety (20.3%), depression (6.5%), and posttraumatic stress disorder (6.5%). Most reported ITV in children against COVID-19 (93%). In the multiple models, we found that Catholics had a 23% higher prevalence of ITV in the children where PR = prevalence ratios and CI = confidence intervals (PR = 1.23; 95% CI: 1.01-1.50). Likewise, seeking mental health support increased the prevalence of ITV by 8% (PR = 1.08; 95% CI: 1.00-1.15). Seeking mental health support and belonging to the Catholic faith had a higher ITV of children of Peruvian military personnel. Finding mental health support, experiencing burnout syndrome, having a relative who suffers from mental health problems, and being part of the Catholic religion were associated with a higher willingness to immunize the children of Peruvian military members.

Automated driving experiences, attention, and intentions following extensive on-road usage of a level 2 automation vehicle.

INTRODUCTION: An on-road study was conducted to examine the effects of level 2 automation on the stressfulness and enjoyment of driving and driving attention following prolonged usage. The study also examined the changes in the automated driving experience and attention over time as well as important predictors such as pre-driving trust in technology and attitudes toward automated systems. METHOD: Motorists who had never used automated systems drove a level 2 automation vehicle for a 6-8 week period. RESULTS: Participants reported that the automated systems reduced the stress of driving and made traveling more enjoyable and relaxing. They also reported that the automation did not make traveling boring and take the fun out of driving. Participants indicated that their minds tended to wander when the automation was operating. The stressfulness of the automated driving experience decreased over time. Participants also reported feeling increasingly comfortable driving with the automation without monitoring it closely. The enjoyment and stress of automated driving is important because it shapes the willingness to use the automation and, hence, the safeness of driving. As expected, intentions to use and purchase automated systems were strongly predicted by the perceived favorableness of driving with the automation. Participants' pre-driving beliefs about automated systems, rather than their trust, appears to have shaped their experiences with the automation. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Although some of the findings suggest that automated systems increase unsafe behavior by novice users, other facets of the surveys suggest that motorists are cognizant of the risks of automated driving and discreet in their usage of the automation.

Understanding aberrant driving intentions based on the Theory of Planned Behavior: Literature review and Meta-Analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Despite deployed efforts to establish strict road safety standards, human factors is still the leading cause of road crashes. To identify determinants of driver's behavior, TPB (Theory of Planned Behavior) is widely used as a prominent theory of behavior change. However, the existence of different aberrant driving behaviors (decision errors, recognition errors, violations, and physical condition related errors) and several studies using TPB to understand driving behavior, makes it important to conduct a literature review and a meta-analysis of existing studies to use their results in effective driving behavior change interventions. METHOD: The selection process provided 125 relevant studies that were published between 1991 and 2022, and that used TPB for the understanding of aberrant driving behavior. Five fundamental research questions were defined to identify information to be discovered from the literature review and from the meta-analysis. RESULTS: In addition to the standard TPB constructs (attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control), past behavior, moral norms, and descriptive norms were used in studies for a more comprehensive understanding of aberrant driving intention. This analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between aberrant driving intentions and past behavior. Also, moral norms construct was correlated with violations and recognition errors, whereas descriptive norms construct was correlated just with recognition errors. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study highlight the strength of TPB in the prediction of aberrant driving intention and its potential effectiveness to guide interventions aimed at changing aberrant driving behaviors. The study contributes to the comprehension of the relevant psychological factors influencing the engagement of drivers in each category of aberrant driving behaviors. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Researchers can use the results of this study to select the relevant psychological factors adapted to their interventions of driving behavior change. The results of the meta-analysis can also be used in the prediction of driver's intentions.

How do perceptions of procedural justice, police legitimacy, and legitimacy of laws influence intentions to drug drive?

INTRODUCTION: There is a need for improved drug driving enforcement to promote greater driver compliance with drug driving laws. In Australia, Roadside Drug Testing (RDT) suffers from operational challenges that undermine its effectiveness in reducing drug driving. OBJECTIVE: To identify potential improvements to RDT, this study investigated the extent to which drivers perceive RDT to be procedurally just and that the policing of drug driving and the associated laws are legitimate. These perceptions were then compared with those applying to Random Breath Testing (RBT) and examined in relation to their respective influence on intentions to drug and drink drive in the future. METHOD: A sample of 1,483 licensed drivers from three Australian states completed an online survey. RESULTS: Those participants who reported engaging in drug driving perceived RDT to be less procedurally just than non-drug drivers. Similarly, drug drivers perceived the police and associated drug driving laws to be less legitimate than non-drug drivers. Furthermore, drug drivers who had been tested at an RDT operation in the past perceived RDT to be less procedurally just and considered drug driving policing and laws to be less legitimate, compared with the corresponding perceptions of drink drivers who had been tested at an RBT operation. A regression analysis indicated that stronger intentions to drug drive in the future were associated with lower perceptions of police legitimacy and the legitimacy of drug driving laws, but not with the elements of procedural justice. However, follow-up analyses indicated that the influence of procedural justice on intentions was mediated by the two legitimacy variables, thus weakening its direct impact on intentions. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The results highlight the need for road safety authorities to enhance the perceived legitimacy of drug driving enforcement and associated laws. Changes to current police practices and/or drug-driving laws may also be needed to enhance the effectiveness of RDT.

Gastric Cancer Screening: Intention to Adhere and Patients' Perspective.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Gastric cancer (GC) is the third cause of cancer mortality worldwide. A screening strategy that combines an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE) with a screening colonoscopy may be cost-effective in intermediate-risk regions. This study aimed to evaluate the intention to adhere to combined endoscopic screening and assess knowledge of GC symptoms, risk factors, and barriers to screening. METHODS: Cross-sectional study enrolling individuals eligible for CRC screening in northern Portugal, where a populational fecal occult blood test (FOBT) program is implemented. The validated PERCEPT-PREVENT tool was applied across three groups: (a) not yet invited to CRC screening, (b) FOBT-positive referred to colonoscopy, and (c) primary colonoscopy screening. RESULTS: A high acceptance rate was observed for combined endoscopic screening (94%; n = 264) [not yet invited to CRC screening 98% (n = 90) vs. FOBT-positive referred to colonoscopy 90% (n = 103) vs. primary colonoscopy 97% (n = 71); p = 0.017], with the vast majority reporting intention to adhere in the setting of full reimbursement (97%; n = 255). Most respondents were unaware of any possible GC symptom (76%; n = 213), risk factor (73%; n = 205), and UGIE-related complication (85%; n = 237). Regular follow-up with the primary care physician (Odds Ratio (OR) 27.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.99-254.57), lower perceived negative health consequences of UGIE (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.13-1.74), and lower perceived financial burden (OR 2.46, 95% CI 1.04-5.85) were the only factors independently associated with a higher intention to undergo combined screening. CONCLUSIONS: Willingness to undergo combined endoscopic screening was notably high and positively impacted by lower perceived barriers. Additional efforts should be undertaken to improve levels of digestive health literacy.

COVID-19 vaccination receipt and intention to vaccinate among adults with disabilities and functional limitations, United States.

BACKGROUND: People with disabilities are at increased risk for severe COVID-19 health outcomes and face barriers accessing COVID-19 vaccines. The aim of this study is to examine receipt of ≥ 1 dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, intention to vaccinate in the future, and reasons for not vaccinating among people with disabilities and functional limitations using a large, nationally representative dataset of adults in the United States. METHODS: Data were analyzed from the Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey (14-26 April 2021, n = 68,913). Separate logistic regression models were conducted to examine the association between each disability (vision, hearing, cognition and mobility), overall disability status, and functional status on ≥1 dose COVID-19 vaccination receipt and intention to vaccinate. Furthermore, reasons for not getting vaccinated were examined among those with disabilities or functional limitations. RESULTS: Approximately 13% of adults reported having a disability, and almost 60% reported having some or a lot of functional limitations. Over 65% of adults with disabilities had received ≥1 dose of COVID-19 vaccines, compared to 73% among adults without disabilities (adjusted prevalence ratio = 0.94). Among adults with disabilities, those who were younger, had lower educational attainment and income, did not have insurance and had a prior history of COVID-19 were less likely to get vaccinated or intend to get vaccinated than their respective counterparts. The main reasons for not getting vaccinated were concerns about possible side effects (52.1%), lack of trust in COVID-19 vaccines (45.4%) and lack of trust in the government (38.6%). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Efforts to ensure high and equitable vaccination coverage include working with communities to strengthen the message that the vaccine is safe and effective, educating health professionals about the need to recommend and promote vaccines, and making vaccination sites more accessible for people who need additional accommodations.

Towards environmental performance through responsible environmental intentions and behavior: Does environmental law cognition really matter among Chinese farmers.

Rapid agricultural expansion, marked by unsustainable practices, has contributed significantly to environmental degradation globally. In response to China's escalating environmental concerns, recent environmental legislation has sought to disseminate information and promote awareness of environmental preservation among residents. This study aims to investigate the influential role of citizen environmental intentions and activist environmental intentions on responsible behavior for achieving environmental performance (EP). Moreover, the moderating influence of these environmental laws on the relationship between environment-protecting intentions and behavior, with a focus on legal cognition. Utilizing a population of 3150 farmers we select 603 farmers using simple random sampling and, this study applies the theory of planned behavior within a structural equation model framework. The findings affirm that farmers' perceived behavior control, personal factors, and attitudes directly impact both citizen and activist intentions, subsequently influencing both types of environmental-oriented behavior. Notably, the study identifies a stronger inward attitude effect compared to the outward attitude in both types of farmers' intentions. Additionally, legal cognition among farmers emerges as a crucial moderator, influencing the link between environmental intentions and behavior. The results suggest that as farmers become more familiar with environmental laws, the direct effect of their intentions on environmentally oriented behavior intensifies. Hence, the legal obligations play an essential role in shaping the farmers' pro-environmental behavior. This study aligns the individual level environmental intentions with farmer's law cognition for offering interesting insights to develop and implement imminent environmental policies. Hence, this study benefits to both practitioners and policy makers' contextualizing Chinese agricultural sector.

The effects of entrepreneurial narrative on entrepreneurial intention: An affective events perspective.

Entrepreneurial narrative has been used in the entrepreneurship education process to develop students' entrepreneurial intention. However, previous research has less knowledge about the mechanisms between entrepreneurial narrative and entrepreneurial intention from an affective events perspective. We explore the effect of entrepreneurial narrative on entrepreneurial intention based on the theory of affective events theory. The sample of this study comprised 348 individuals who participated in entrepreneurship education in China. The results suggest that entrepreneurial narrative have a significant positive impact on college students' entrepreneurial intention. Additionally, the relationship between entrepreneurial narrative and entrepreneurial intention is mediated by entrepreneurial passion, and entrepreneurial support positively moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial intention.

Observers' motivated sensitivity to stigmatized actors' intent.

Does a harmful act appear more intentional-and worthy of opprobrium-if it was committed by a member of a stigmatized group? In two studies (N = 1,451), participants read scenarios in which an actor caused a homicide. We orthogonally manipulated the relative presence or absence of distal intent (a focus on the end) and proximal intent (a focus on the means) in the actor's mind. We also varied the actor's racial (Study 1) or political (Study 2) group. In both studies, participants judged the stigmatized actor more harshly than the non-stigmatized actor when the actor's level of intent was ambiguous (i.e., one form of intent was high and the other form of intent was low). These data suggest that observers apply a sliding threshold when judging an actor's intent and moral responsibility; whereas less-stigmatized actors elicit condemnation only when they cause the outcome with both types of intent in mind, more-stigmatized actors elicit condemnation when only one type, or even neither type (Study 2) of intent is in their mind. We discuss how these results enrich the literature on lay theories of intentionality.

Workplace violence and turnover intention among Chinese nurses: the mediating role of compassion fatigue and the moderating role of psychological resilience.

BACKGROUND: Workplace violence is a global public health issue and a major occupational hazard cross borders and environments. Nurses are the primary victims of workplace violence due to their frontline roles and continuous interactions. OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to investigate the status of workplace violence, turnover intention, compassion fatigue, and psychological resilience among Chinese nurses, and explore the mediating role of compassion fatigue and the moderating role of psychological resilience on relationship between workplace violence and turnover intention among Chinese nurses. METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted among a convenience sample of clinical registered nurses from public hospitals in Changsha, Hunan, China. Data was collected through an online questionnaire, which included a demographic information form, the Workplace Violence Scale (WVS), the Turnover Intention Questionnaire (TIQ), the Compassion Fatigue Scale (CF-CN), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were employed to examine the relationships among the main variables. A moderated mediation analysis was further conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPSS (Model 4 and Model 8) to examine the mediating role of compassion fatigue and the moderating role of psychological resilience. RESULT: The present survey recruited a convenience sample of 1,141 clinical registered nurses, who reported experiencing multiple types of workplace violence during the past year. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between workplace violence and turnover intention (r = 0.466, P < 0.01) as well as compassion fatigue (r = 0.452, P < 0.01), while negative correlation between workplace violence and psychological resilience (r=-0.414, P < 0.01). Moderated mediation analysis revealed that compassion fatigue mediated, while psychological resilience moderated, the positive relationship between workplace violence and turnover intention (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study underscores the mediating effect of compassion fatigue and the moderating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between workplace violence and turnover intention among Chinese nurses. Future efforts should be undertaken to develop effective preventive measures and intervention strategies at individual, organizational, and national levels to mitigate workplace violence and foster supportive work environment. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
