Early interventions addressing anger management in fathers and enhancing father-infant bonds may contribute to positive outcomes for all involved.
The father's anger, expressed both directly and indirectly through patience and tolerance within the father-infant relationship, has a profound effect on the stress of parenting during toddlerhood. To improve father-infant bonding and address anger issues in fathers, early intervention strategies are recommended and may prove valuable.

While previous research has concentrated on the effects of power felt, it has overlooked the effects of anticipating power on impulsive buying. This research endeavors to illustrate a dual aspect of power's impact on impulsive purchasing behavior, via a theoretical augmentation from experienced power to anticipated power.
To empirically verify the hypothesis, four laboratory experiments were created, all involving the application of ANOVA. A moderated mediation model's pathways were outlined, including the observed variables of power experience, product attributes, expectations of power, deservingness, and purchasing impulsiveness.
Powerless consumers are observed, through the study's results, to be more predisposed to impulsive purchases of hedonic items; powerful consumers, however, tend toward impulsive utilitarian product purchases. NVS-STG2 chemical structure Yet, an emphasis on power expectations engenders a diminished sense of deservingness among powerless consumers, subsequently lessening their drive to purchase hedonic items. 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. Power experience, product attributes, and power expectations exert an effect on purchasing impulsiveness, a process mediated by the concept of deservingness.
The current study introduces a novel theoretical framework for analyzing the influence of power on impulsive purchasing. This power model, utilizing an approach based on experience and expectation, proposes that consumer impulsiveness in buying is susceptible to influence by both the felt experience and the envisioned experience of power.
A novel theoretical framework is presented by the current research regarding the connection between power dynamics and impulsive buying behavior. A model of power, rooted in experience and expectation, is introduced, suggesting that consumer impulsiveness in purchasing is influenced by both the lived experience of power and the anticipated sense of power.

The educational failings of Roma pupils are often viewed by school educators as a consequence of insufficient parental support and interest in their children's academic growth. 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.
Within the framework of intervention-oriented research, this study encompassed twelve participants, namely mothers, from diverse Portuguese Roma groups. The process of data collection included interviews conducted before and after the intervention. Eight weekly sessions, situated in a school setting, employed a story-based tool and practical activities to foster culturally relevant interpretations of attitudes, beliefs, and values regarding children's educational growth.
Applying acculturation theory to the data analysis, critical discoveries emerged, structured under two primary categories: parental involvement patterns in a child's school life and participant engagement within the intervention program.
Data demonstrate the distinct methods Roma parents utilize in their children's education, and the necessity of mainstream educational settings to cultivate an environment conductive to collaborative partnerships with parents in order to overcome obstacles to parental involvement.
Roma parents' distinct methods of participating in their children's education are illustrated by the data, along with the necessity of mainstream environments that create a suitable atmosphere for developing collaborative partnerships with parents to remove obstacles to parental involvement.

This investigation into the formation of consumer self-protective behaviors during the COVID-19 crisis offers valuable insights for crafting policies to influence consumer practices. This research, leveraging the Protective Action Decision Model (PADM), examined the genesis of consumer self-protective intent, including the impact of risk information and the factors explaining the variance between intended and actual protective behaviors in light of protective behavior attributes.
1265 consumer surveys collected during the COVID-19 pandemic provided the data for the empirical examination.
Consumers' self-protective inclination benefits significantly from the presence of comprehensive risk information; the credibility of this information plays a vital role as a positive moderator in this connection. The consumer's inclination towards self-protective measures is positively correlated with the amount of risk information, with risk perception playing a mediating role. This mediating influence is negatively moderated by the credibility of the risk information. Within protective behavior attributes, hazard-related attributes act as a positive moderator for the relationship between consumer self-protective willingness and behavior, in contrast to resource-related attributes, which act as a negative moderator. Consumers focus their attention significantly more on danger-related product attributes in comparison to resource-related ones, resulting in a higher willingness to expend more resources for risk aversion.
Consumers' self-protective intentions are positively impacted by the extent of risk information, with the credibility of the information playing a significant moderating role between the two. Risk perception plays a constructive mediating role between the quantity of risk information and consumers' proclivity for self-protection, which is in turn countered by the reliability of the risk information. Within the context of protective behaviors, the relationship between consumer self-protective willingness and behavior is positively moderated by hazard-related attributes, but negatively moderated by resource-related attributes. In comparison to resource-related attributes, hazard-related attributes attract more consumer attention, leading to a willingness to expend greater resources to lessen risks.

Enterprises' entrepreneurial approach is the key determinant of their competitive standing in unpredictable markets. Subsequently, previous studies have highlighted the relationship between psychological factors, including entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial orientation, leveraging the framework of social cognitive theory. 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. We partake in a discussion about positive relationships, arguing on the importance of exploring the internal mechanisms of black boxes to empower the entrepreneurial spirit of companies. Employing the social cognitive theory, we analyzed 220 valid responses from CEOs and TMTs from 10 enterprises situated in high-tech industrial zones across nine Chinese provinces to determine the effect of TMT collective efficacy and CEO-TMT interaction on the correlation between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy demonstrably fosters a positive entrepreneurial orientation, according to our findings. Concurrently, our research uncovered that higher levels of TMT collective efficacy bolster the positive connection between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation. Additionally, we uncovered varying moderating influences. Entrepreneurial orientation thrives when the interface between the CEO and the TMT is positive, contingent upon the high collective efficacy of the TMT and the high entrepreneurial self-efficacy of its members. Entrepreneurial orientation experiences a substantial, negative, indirect influence from the CEO-TMT interface, specifically when this interaction is coupled with TMT collective efficacy. NVS-STG2 chemical structure This research contributes to the entrepreneurial orientation literature by highlighting the social cognitive roles of TMT collective efficacy and CEO-TMT interface in shaping the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation. As a result, a wealth of possibilities unfolds for CEOs and decision-makers to maintain a stable market presence, gaining additional opportunities in uncertain times through swift entry into new markets and safeguarding their existing positions.

The currently applied effect size measures for mediation analysis exhibit limitations when the predictor variable is nominal and includes three or more categories. NVS-STG2 chemical structure This situation prompted the use of the mediation effect size measure. Through a simulation study, the performance of the estimators was investigated. We systematically changed the number of groups, the sample size for each group, and the effect sizes in the data generation process. This was complemented by an analysis of different shrinkage estimators for estimating effect sizes using R-squared. Results indicated that the Olkin-Pratt extended adjusted R-squared estimator was the least biased and yielded the smallest mean squared error when estimating across various conditions. We also implemented diverse estimators in a real-world dataset. Pointers and guidelines on the proper application of this estimator were furnished.

The critical success of novel products hinges on consumer adoption patterns, yet the influence of brand communities on this process remains largely unexplored. Consumer engagement within brand communities, measured by participation intensity and social networking behaviors, is examined in this study, using network theory to understand its influence on new product adoption.
