Abstract:

The growing numbers of environmental volunteers indicates that more and more citizens in Hong Kong are aware of environmental issues and willing to contribute their efforts to help protecting the environment. Previous studies indicated that environmental volunteering could raise environmental awareness and foster environmentally friendly behaviors among volunteers, given that they volunteered long and frequent enough. In addition, environmental volunteers are driven by different motivations to obtain certain benefits from their engagement. Therefore, understanding these motivations is essenti

Abstract:

This thesis provides the first full-length study of T. S. Eliot’s concern with agriculture. It examines Eliot’s consideration of agrarian issues within his social criticism of the 1930s-50s in relation to the organic thought of the period, and establishes that he should be considered an influential figure in the Christian context of the British organic husbandry movement. In doing so it explores the importance of his roles as the editor of the 'Criterion', a director of Faber, and a member of the editorial board of the 'New English Weekly' and the 'Christian News-Letter'.

Abstract:

Death qualification is a problematic aspect of capital trials, as death qualified jurors have higher conviction rates than non-death qualified jurors. The current study examines whether the death qualification process itself affects juror decision-making via attitude salience effects. Participants (n=90) recruited from the venire juror pool at the Santa Ana Superior Court were asked to read a trial transcript and decide guilt or innocence and whether they would sentence the defendant to death. Half of the participants were given a survey determining death qualification before they read the t

Abstract:

This study examined people’s attitudes towards killing bugs and their bug-killing behaviour in the context of nature vs. nurture explanations of bug killing. Previous research shows that exposure to genetic (i.e., nature) explanations could have undesirable effects on people’s attitudes and behaviour, compared to the exposure to experiential(i.e., nurture) explanations. Genetic explanations for killing may affect attitudes towards killing and killing behaviour, because they suggest that killing behaviour is predetermined or programmed by nature. Such explanations may also be used by individual

Abstract:

In the media, one type of prejudice is often discussed as isolated from other types of prejudice. For example, after Breivik’s massacre, intolerance toward Muslims was intensely debated (for good reasons). However, his manifesto also disclosed extreme attitudes towards women and gays, a fact which passed without much notice. Still, in understanding why some individuals are so extremely intolerant compared to others, the psychological unity underlying different kinds of prejudice (e.g., racism, sexism) needs to be considered. This psychological unity, referred to as generalized prejudice, provi

People tend to draw their own conclusions about similarities and differences between who they are and the “other.” Having perceptions of being similar to the in-group and being different from the out-group “satisfies psychological needs” (Robbins & Krueger, 2005). Based on this social perception, individuals show communication variations as a way of expressing their identities (Giles 1973).

Indonesia's national language policy to promote and develop the standard national language (Indonesian) has limited the use of Javanese, a regional language, to home and other informal places. The national language policy has also imposed values associated with Indonesian. The aim of this study is to establish whether the attitudes of young Javanese people toward their native language (Javanese) have been affected by the policy. Based on a theoretical approach that language attitude is a function of beliefs, a questionnaire and a matched-language guise test were developed to elicit the dat

Abstract:

The growing consciousness of consumers towards buying products that contain mainly natural ingredients and do not harm the health and the environment drives the growth of the natural personal care market. Additionally, men nowadays care more about their image and self-presentation which lead to an increase of the natural personal care products offered for men. As the drug store market in Germany is highly competitive, marketers need to understand the factors influencing men’s purchase decision. The attitude of consumers is an elemental influence factor on purchase intention that could lead to

Abstract:

The debate between Arthur Fine and Alan Musgrave is well known amongst those involved in the scientific realism debate and centres upon two papers that are quite often found together in philosophy of science anthologies. Reading them like this gives the very strong impression the Musgrave is the victor which is the commonly held view. In this thesis, I wish to overturn this view by placing Fine's paper in context, namely as part of a larger work on the history and philosophy of quantum physics. Fine's book, The Shaky Game: Einstein, Realism and Quantum Theory, gives us good reason to believe t

Os animais pouco carismáticos são muitas vezes perseguidos e alvo de menos esforços de conservação pelo seu aspeto, pelos mitos e crenças a eles associados e/ou pela perceção errada da população. Neste estudo avaliamos a perceção dos seniores residentes em Lousada em relação aos anfíbios e recolhemos informações revelantes sobre outros grupos de animais também eles pouco carismáticos.

Abstract:

Background - The thesis topic was selected because of the increased value of ads as a promotional tool and the growing avoidance arising from the exposure rate towards advertising. The principle of native advertising gives marketers a less intrusive pathway. Despite the increased trend and the benefits of using native advertising as a digital marketing tool, native advertising has been criticized for its approach. However, we hope to provide another insight into the positive side of native advertising. Purpose - We seek to help advertisers improve native advertising content based on individua

Abstract:

The world is becoming urbanised. Between 1995 and 2025, it is estimated that the cities and towns of the developing world will have absorbed another two billion people. A majority of these people will be poor and settle down in the unregulated areas. It is therefore fair to say that the management and use of water in urban areas is a very complex and dynamic issue. The fact that cities in the South are composed of two systems, the regulated and the unregulated areas, and that considerable diversity exists between them, highlights the need for a context driven policy design in urban water manag
