Father-infant bonding and father's anger management can potentially benefit both fathers and their children if addressed through early interventions.
Father-infant interactions, shaped by the father's expressions of anger—both explicit and implicit (through patience and tolerance within the bond)— influence parenting stress levels during the toddler years. By initiating early interventions to manage anger and foster father-infant bonds, potential benefits for both fathers and infants may be realized.

Prior studies have primarily focused on the effect of actual power experiences on impulsive purchases, neglecting the influence of anticipated power. This research aims to portray power's dual influence on purchase impulsiveness, extending the theoretical framework from experienced power to anticipated power.
Four laboratory investigations, utilizing ANOVA, were conducted in order to confirm the accuracy of the hypothesis. The model established, moderated and mediated, featured observed variables including power experience, product attributes, power expectations, deservingness, and purchasing impulsiveness.
The study's results indicated that powerless consumers are more inclined to impulsively buy hedonic products, in contrast to powerful consumers who tend to impulsively favor utilitarian goods. ROCK inhibitor However, when the focus shifts to the anticipated power, a decreased perception of deservedness is fostered in powerless consumers, thereby reducing their inclination to purchase hedonic products. Differently, when substantial consumers imagine the consumption demeanor of powerful figures, they will feel more deserving and be inclined toward more impulsive purchases of products that offer pleasure. The experience of power, product attribute, and expectations of power, interacting through deservingness, mediate the impact on purchasing impulsiveness.
A new theoretical perspective on the link between power dynamics and impulsive purchasing behavior is presented within this research. This model of power, rooted in experiential and anticipatory dimensions, argues that consumers' purchasing impulsiveness is influenced by both their lived experience of power and their anticipations of power.
Through a novel theoretical lens, this research examines the relationship between power and impulsive purchasing. This model of power, built on the foundation of experience and anticipation, illustrates that the impulsiveness of consumer purchases is influenced by the experience of power itself and the anticipation of experiencing power.

A common explanation given by school educators for the educational challenges of Roma students revolves around the lack of parental encouragement and involvement in their children's schooling. With the goal of gaining a more comprehensive understanding of Roma parental involvement patterns in their children's school experience and their participation in school-related activities, this research introduced a culturally-sensitive story-tool intervention.
Based on an intervention-oriented research design, twelve mothers representing various Portuguese Roma communities were included in this study. Interviews, both pre- and post-intervention, were utilized to collect data. In a school setting, eight weekly sessions employed a story-based tool and interactive activities to cultivate culturally relevant understandings of attitudes, beliefs, and values pertaining to children's educational paths.
Acculturation theory guided data analysis, producing noteworthy findings grouped under two principal themes: parental engagement patterns in children's educational experiences and participants' engagement in the intervention.
Analysis of data reveals the diverse approaches Roma parents employ in their children's education, and the significance of mainstream educational settings in fostering a collaborative environment with parents to effectively dismantle obstacles to parental engagement.
Statistical data illustrate the varied ways Roma parents participate in their children's education, emphasizing the role of mainstream contexts in developing an environment that encourages collaborative partnerships with parents to overcome hurdles to parental involvement.

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted this study to investigate the underlying mechanisms behind consumers' self-protective behaviors, a crucial factor for developing effective policy interventions. This study, grounded in the Protective Action Decision Model (PADM), investigated the genesis of consumer self-protective intent, examining the influence of risk information while also exploring the divergence between self-protective intentions and actions through the lens of protective behavior attributes.
In order to validate the empirical findings, a study based on 1265 consumer surveys collected during the COVID-19 pandemic period was conducted.
A substantial positive influence exists between the volume of risk information and consumers' self-protective inclination, with the credibility of the information playing a positive moderating role in this connection. The amount of risk information given positively correlates with consumers' self-protective behavior, with risk perception as the intermediary. The positive mediating effect of risk perception is diminished by the credibility of the risk information. Concerning consumer self-protective willingness and behavior, attributes related to hazard demonstrate a positive moderating effect within protective behavior attributes, in contrast to resource-related attributes, which exhibit a negative moderating effect. Consumers are drawn more intently to the dangerous features of an item rather than its resource aspects, and are inclined to consume additional resources to minimize the threat of risk.
Risk information's quantity demonstrably fosters a higher level of self-protective behavior in consumers, where the information's trustworthiness plays a positive moderating role in the interplay between these factors. The amount of risk information influences consumer self-protective behavior through the positive mediation of risk perception, a mediation countered by the credibility of the risk information. Consumer self-protective willingness and behavior, when viewed through the lens of protective behaviors, exhibit a moderated relationship, with hazard-related attributes acting positively and resource-related attributes negatively. Consumer focus leans more towards hazards than resources, resulting in their inclination to use more resources to lower risk.

An entrepreneurial mindset serves as the driving force for enterprises seeking competitive advantage in shifting conditions. Accordingly, prior research has ascertained the effect of psychological attributes, specifically entrepreneurial self-efficacy, on entrepreneurial orientation, employing social cognitive theory as a guiding principle. Despite earlier studies highlighting conflicting perspectives on the correlation between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial stance, ranging from positive to negative associations, no strategies were suggested to bridge this gap. In the context of positive interactions, we delve into the core principles of investigating black box mechanisms to bolster the entrepreneurial drive within companies. From 10 enterprises in high-tech industrial zones spread across nine Chinese provinces, we collected 220 valid responses from CEOs and TMTs to explore, through the lens of social cognitive theory, how top management team (TMT) collective efficacy and CEO-TMT interface shape the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation. Our study reveals a positive influence of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial orientation. Furthermore, our research indicated that a heightened level of TMT collective efficacy reinforces the positive correlation between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation. Moreover, our findings revealed differential moderating impacts. When the CEO-TMT interface is positive, it fuels entrepreneurial orientation, provided that it is reinforced by the collective efficacy of the TMT and the entrepreneurial self-efficacy of individuals. The CEO-TMT interface has a substantial, detrimental, indirect influence on entrepreneurial orientation, solely when interacting with TMT collective efficacy. ROCK inhibitor This research delves into the entrepreneurial orientation literature, emphasizing the pivotal roles of TMT collective efficacy and CEO-TMT interface as social cognitive mechanisms in shaping the entrepreneurial self-efficacy-entrepreneurial orientation connection. Therefore, a window of possibility emerges for CEOs and decision-makers to secure a sustainable market position, capturing further prospects by entering new markets promptly and maintaining existing ones amidst uncertain conditions.

Limitations exist in several currently available mediation effect size measures when the predictor variable comprises three or more nominal categories. ROCK inhibitor Due to the nature of this situation, a mediation effect size measure was implemented. Through a simulation study, the performance of the estimators was investigated. Factors like the number of groups, sample size within groups, and the strength of relationships (effect sizes) were modified during data generation, while we also explored several different shrinkage estimators for effect size estimations using R-squared values. Analysis of results revealed that the Olkin-Pratt extended adjusted R-squared estimator showed the least bias and the smallest mean squared error in cross-condition estimation. A different set of estimators were also implemented in a real-world data application. Pointers and guidelines on the proper application of this estimator were furnished.

Consumer behavior in adopting new products is paramount to their success, but the role of brand communities in facilitating this adoption has not been extensively examined. This study analyzes, through the framework of network theory, the effect of consumer participation in brand communities (in terms of participation intensity and social networking activities) on the adoption of new products.
