Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Decision-making styles are a research area of individual differences psychology. The construct of decision-making style refers to an individual’s relatively stable tendency to respond to decision-making tasks. It helps explain differences between individuals who make distinct choices in seemingly identical decision-making tasks and contexts. Research Aim: The aim of the study was to determine correlations between decision-making styles and temperament, affect, thinking styles and coping with stress in early adults. Research Method: A questionnaire study was conducted using standardized psychological tests: the General Decision Making Style Questionnaire (KSPD), the Sensation Seeking Scale ImpSS-8, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule PANAS, the Thinking Style Inventory TSI, and the Inventory for Measuring Coping with Stress Mini-COPE. A total of 280 individuals in the developmental stage of early adulthood (20−40 years old) were surveyed. Results: Decision-making styles were found to statistically significantly correlate with temperament traits, trait affect, thinking styles and coping strategies. Conclusion: The findings of the study expand the knowledge of the impact of the decision maker’s individual characteristics on the entire decision-making process. By examining the strength and nature of the relationships between young adults’ decision-making styles and selected personal variables, we were able to identify some of the characteristics that play a role in shaping those individuals’ adaptive and non-adaptive decision-making styles.

Decision-making is one of the most important elements in the administration of any organization. In higher education, college is an institution, in which the principal is a prime person who makes decision. This article investigates the perception of college principal towards his decision Making style. Numerous studies in the area of Management and Leadership indicate that one’s decision making style (DMS) is reflective of one’s leadership style. Using the Decision Making Styles Inventory (DMSI) developed by Rowe and Boulgarides (1992), this paper attempts to explore and report the managerial DMS among 130 college principals in Kanyakumari District. The scores derived from Decision making inventory were categorized into four decision styles namely: Directive, Behavioral, Analytical and Conceptual. Results revealed that a majority of principals adopted a very dominant or dominant intensity level for Behavioral Decision Making Style.

Full textAbstract:
In assessing management potential of a manager, it is necessary to consider one's personal characteristics, in particular, management decision-making style. A physician repeatedly makes clinical decisions on patients’ treatment and this experience shapes his/her individual decision-making style, which in turn defines personal features of physician as a leader. Purpose of study. To evaluate the management potential of leaders of medical institutions of the Tomsk oblast on the basis of investigation on their decision-making styles. The decision-making style was identified using A. Rowe's technique (Decision Style Inventory) widely applied in various research areas. The sampling of survey included 1097 physicians, including head physicians (4,8%), deputy head physicians (10,1%), heads of department (11,9%). Decision-making styles of leaders differ depending of the various levels of management. The analytical style dominates among head physicians, followed by conceptual style. For the largest cohort of deputy head physicians analytical style also dominates, but the second rank of dominating styles is for directive style. In general, moving down administrative staircase the percentage of managers with dominating conceptual style is decreasing and percentage of those who are oriented on individual (authoritarian) decision-making processes and also those who are focused more on human relationship than on tasks solution increases. The possibilities of transformation of individual style of decision making are limited and require conscious efforts, that tasks a complicated problem before leaders of medical institutions concerning assessment of management potential of development and training of long-term human resources reserve.

Full textAbstract:
The theoretical and applied distinction between a propensity toward a more intuitive decision style versus a more analytical style has gained prominence in recent years. A self-report measure, the Decision Making Styles Inventory, is presented and is shown to differentiate among those who endorse an analytical, an intuitive, or an avoidant, regret-based decision style. Results from one study, a horse race betting task, indicated that those who endorsed a decision style, particularly those endorsing a flexible analytical and intuitive style, performed better on the task than those who did not. A second study clearly showed that decision style was related to self reports of self-efficacy, optimism, and self-regard. These results suggest that having either an analytical, intuitive or combined decision style is beneficial to the decision maker.

The present study aimed at investigating the relation between big five personality traits and decision-making styles among Arab undergraduate students in Israeli universities. Big-five Inventory was used to assess the personality traits and General Decision-Making Styles Questionnaire was used to assess the decision-making styles. 408 students took part in this study. A convenient sampling technique was followed to collect the samples. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way Anova and Pearson correlation coefficient test were the methods used to analyze the data. Findings showed that the rational decision-making style attained the highest value, while the spontaneous was the lowest. The agreeableness and the conscientiousness were the prominent personality traits among the participants. Findings showed that the rational and avoidant styles were significantly associated with all the personality traits. The dependent style had a positive relation with agreeableness and neuroticism. Whereas, the avoidant style had negative relation with extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness. The spontaneous style had a negative relation with agreeableness and conscientiousness, positive relation with neuroticism. The intuitive style had a positive relation with extraversion, openness to experience and neuroticism. The findings will help school counselors to shape students' personality and develop leadership qualities to take better decisions.

The current study investigated the link between motivation and decision-making strategies of employees working on managerial positions in different organizations of Multan. Additionally, participants were compared across gender, marital status, age groups and organizational set up. The sample included 164 men and 68 women (N = 232, Mage 38.5 years). Work Preference Inventory and General Decision-Making Style Questionnaire were administered in order to measure intrinsic/extrinsic motivation and a range of decision-making styles respectively. Correlational analysis showed significant inverse association of dependent decision-making style with both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation yet only extrinsic motivation proved to be a significant predictor of dependent style in regression analysis. Results of t-test showed that men preferred rationale style women scored higher on dependent and avoidant styles of making decisions than men. Decision making ability of married employees was better than unmarried. Differences across gender and marital status were non-significant on level of motivation and its types. Private sector employees showed greater motivation than public sector employees, however both were alike in decision making except for dependent style that was preferred by public sector employees. Younger group was more intrinsically motivated while older groups were more dependent in decision making as compared with the younger group. Findings are discussed for improvement of organizational set up.

This study examined Flynn and Elloy's (1987) 30-item Conflict Management Styles Inventory which taps five styles: competition, collaboration, compromise, avoidance, and accommodation. A sample of 210 management undergraduates completed the inventory and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability scale (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960). Subsamples also completed the General Decision-Making Style inventory (Scott & Bruce, 1995) or the Life Roles Inventory-Values Scale (Fitzsimmons, Macnab, & Casserly, 1985). Confirmatory factor analyses supported the five scales although exploratory factor analyses and item/scale reliability analyses revealed some psychometric weaknesses. Six indexes formed from various combinations of the five styles were examined (Chanin & Schneer, 1984) as well as gender effects. All the styles and indexes were independent of social desirability. The pattern of relationships between conflict management styles and both decision-making styles and values provide some construct validity support for the Conflict Management Styles Inventory.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the buying styles of young consumers, especially the millennials—Gen Y, and Gen Z whose idiosyncrasies and consumption peculiarities are quite different from the older generations. Besides Sproles and Kendall’s eight (8) consumer-style inventory dimensions, this study presents new dimensions and develops six constructs that define young consumers’ decision-style inventory in a developing market. The study population consisted of all younger consumers—Gen Y, and Gen Z in Lagos State, Nigeria. One hundred and twenty-five (125) respondents were selected randomly across all 20 Local Governments in Lagos State, Nigeria. Factor analyses through varimax rotation, latent root criterion (eigenvalue = 1), screen plot test and the percentage of variance were conducted to determine the significant factors to retain among the variables. The findings clearly showed that newly developed CSI constructs in this study (sexiness, trendiness, global branding, smartness, socialisation and entertainment) were strong and significant among young consumers’ decision-making styles. The six (6) constructs developed showed that the younger consumers’ consumption styles are evolving, becoming sophisticated and relatively dynamic, hence the reliance on Sproles and Kendall’s dimensions to measure the younger consumers’ consumption decision styles will be inadequate in business/behaviour strategy development. The dimensions of entertainment, sexy, social, trendy, smartness and global branding variables are mostly underpinned and dominate considerations in purchase decision styles and behaviours among young consumers.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper are to examine: first, whether the consumer style inventory (CSI) consumer decision-making styles were related to opinion seeking using electronic word of mouth (eWOM) in social networking sites (SNSs) and attitudes toward online social shopping using SNSs; and second, whether opinion seeking in SNSs and attitudes mediated the links between decision-making styles and intent to social shop online for apparel using SNSs. Design/methodology/approach – The conceptual foundation was based on Engel, Kollat, and Blackwell's model. In total, 304 college students who are SNS users provided usable responses. Structural equation modeling was employed to test the proposed model and research hypotheses. Findings – Among the CSI consumer decision-making styles, novelty/fashion consciousness decision-making style was the most important antecedent of opinion seeking using eWOM. The brand consciousness decision-making style was the most important antecedent of favorable attitudes. Novelty/fashion consciousness, brand consciousness, and price consciousness decision-making styles had indirect effects on intent to social shop online for apparel using SNS, mediated by both opinion seeking and favorable attitudes. Originality/value – This study contributes to further theoretical understanding of the types of consumers that are drawn to eWOM and their online social shopping behaviors for apparel using SNSs. By identifying individual consumer characteristics, this study can provide retailers with an initial profile of consumers who shop apparel using SNSs. Retailers can use this information to further develop the design of their social shopping sites using SNSs to meet the needs of their customers.

Background. Individual techniques, or decision-making styles, are included in the regulation of hierarchies of processes that mediate a person’s exit from situations of uncertainty. Diagnostics of these styles helps both to solve practical problems and to clarify theoretical issues — in particular, the issue of the generalization of styles and their connections with the intellectual and personal spheres. Objective. The aim is to test and adjust the General Decision-Making Style Inventory questionnaire to a Russian sample. Study Participants. 456 people aged 18 to 50 years (M = 24.80; SD = 7.61); of these, 74 were men (M = 22.96; SD = 4.88) and 358 were women (M = 25.25; SD = 8.08), 24 subjects did not indicate gender. 80% were university students, 20% were working employees. Methods. The study included 3 stages: translation, assessment of structural validity and reliability on a Russian sample, assessment of convergent validity. 4 questionnaires were used: the General Decision-Making Style, Rational-Experiential Inventory, Personal Factors of Decision Making (PFDM), Impulsivity-7. Results. A structural model of connections between the scales (factors) of the General Decision-Making Style Questionnaire has been constructed. The model demonstrated good fit to the data and Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients were acceptable (0.75 to 0.85). The convergent validity of the questionnaire scales was confirmed. Analysis of differences by gender revealed significantly higher scores for Intuitive and Dependent styles in women. Conclusions. The General Decision-Making Styles Questionnaire has a 5-factor structure and acceptable psychometric properties. Convergent validity has been demonstrated primarily for the Rational and Intuitive styles when identifying their connections with other similar constructs. Both styles are not related to each other, but are related in the opposite way to the Spontaneous (Impulsive) style.

Gender plays a significant role in influencing an individual's purchasing decisions all the time in Bangladesh, as it does in virtually every other culture or region. This study was carried out with the intention of determining whether male or female decision-making styles differ in any way. The Consumer Style Inventory (CSI) approaches were used to set the questionnaire in order to collect data from 133 people in Chattogram, Bangladesh. With its 37 items and eight factors, the CSI has been used to identify consumer decision-making styles. The data have been analyzed, and it has been determined that there is no significant difference between male and female decision-making styles. Due to the fact that this study focuses solely on the city of Chattogram, additional culturally diverse cities or nations can be included in future studies.

Decision strategies are often characterized as being intuition-based or analytically-based. The use of these strategies is proposed to be associated with individual differences in propensity toward using different decision making styles. A reliable self-report measure, the Decision Making Styles Inventory (DMI), consisting of 15 items on each of three scales was constructed. The items were found to differentiate among an “analytical”, an “intuitive”, and a “regret-based” emotional decision making style. The analytical and intuitive scales were found to predict differences in performance in a complex dynamic decision making task. on a decision making subtask, a greater general reliance on an analytical decision making style was found to lead to poorer performance. Greater reliance on a more intuitive approach had no effect on this subtask, but was found to predict better performance as workload levels increased. These findings suggest that human performance may be significantly influenced when either a more intuitive or analytical decision style is used. Implications for training the adaptive decision maker are discussed.

Purpose – This paper seeks to examine the differentiating effect of Consumer Decision Makin Style (CDMS) from social class and generation of Indonesia consumer. CDMS is measured using the Consumer Style Inventory (CSI) indicators. Methodology/approach – A survey that included information on descriptive research. One thousand Indonesian consumers from various social classes and generations were involved as respondents. Data were analysed using ANOVA. Findings – It was found that each generation has its own CDMS. Generation Z tends to have Novelty-Brand, less-Impulsive, Habitual, and less Financial-Time-Energy Consciousness. Generation Y tends to have Perfection-Quality and Recreational styles. Generation X tends to have a less Variability style. Meanwhile, the Baby Boomer generation is less in CDMS characteristics. In all generations, there is no difference in CDMS in Confused by Over choice and Variability styles. Based on social class, there are differences in CDMS for Perfection-Quality, Confused by Over choice, Recreational, Impulsive, Variability, Habitual, and Financial-Time-Energy Consciousness, but there are no differences in Novelty-Brand Consciousness. Novelty/value – CDMS is measured using the Consumer Style Inventory (CSI) indicator. Unfortunately, CSI is developed limited to developed countries. However, with the research base in the US, CSI data in developing countries is lacking. In Indonesia, CDMS may differ according to market segments. This study has impacts on the CDMS mapping of Indonesian consumer segments where marketers can direct appropriate marketing strategies to each segment

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine applicability of the general decision-making style (GDMS) inventory in India, using a sample of managers. In addition the authors identify various decision-making styles (DMS) of Indian managers and explore their association with respondents’ gender, age, education, experience level, annual income, sector, industry and organizational output. Design/methodology/approach – The sample consisted responses of 500 Indian managers from public (13 percent) and private (87 percent) sector organizations. The data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, independent sample t-tests and ANOVA. Findings – All decision-making sub scales (rational, intuitive, dependent, avoidant and spontaneous) had satisfactory reliabilities and internal consistencies. Results obtained factor structure that confirmed the original five-factor structure of GDMS. There were also mutual correlations among the styles. Moreover, there were significant differences in the DMS across respondents’ profile variables. Research limitations/implications – This research is based upon survey method and voluntary participation. Hence one can question generalization of findings to larger samples. Practical implications – Results provide insights into DMS of the Indian managers. Organizations may use GDMS as a selection tool, respondents may hone their DMS. Originality/value – A majority of researchers use survey without evaluating validity of the instruments in the selected context and sample. This research contributed to the literature and practice by testing validation of the GDMS inventory in India.

398 graduate and undergraduate business students from the USA, Japan, and Hong Kong were administered Kirton's (1976) Adaption-Innovation Inventory of decision style. Analysis of variance showed that mean group scores differed significantly with the U.S. respondents showing a preference for the Innovator style and the Chinese respondents the Adaptor style. Contrary to our hypotheses, the Japanese respondents did not show a clear preference for either style. We hypothesize that the differences among groups may be a function of cultural values and discuss the implications of our findings for managing cross-cultural teams.

Abstract: Decision-making is a current topic in the management of internal communications in public and private organizations. In the classical concept, decisions are taken independently by the manager, but nowadays it is common for other employees to participate in this process as well. This article represents the results from an empirical study conducted in Bulgarian public and private organizations operating on the territory of the city of Sofia. More than 80 people took park in the survey and a questionnaire for determining the decision-making style GDMSI (General Decision Making Style Inventory) was used. The results show that management and executive personnel have a highly pronounced dependent decision-making style. Managers transfer the responsibility for the decision to other employees in the organizations - the experts. This implies new approaches to communications - to target both experts and managers in an attempt to influence the decision-making process. The research was conducted in the conditions of the Bulgarian cultural environment. Keywords: communications, decision-maker, decision making style, occupation, public organizations, private organizations.

Emerging adulthood is characterized by the need to make significant life choices. These life choices have their roots in historical and sociological circumstances. More recently, academicians have started to investigate how parenting styles may affect factors related to career decision-making, such as career decidedness. This study was conducted to explore the role of parenting style on career decision-making among emerging adults. 350 college students from different colleges in Tiruvannamalai city were selected through stratified random sampling and the data was collected with the help of the Parental authority questionnaire by Buri (1991); Career decision-making inventory by Singh (2014). Results revealed that the authoritative parenting style was positively associated with career decidedness and negatively associated with career indecision of career decision-making. Whereas authoritarian parenting style had a significant positive association with career indecision and a negative association with career decidedness. Furthermore, there was a significant gender difference in career decision-making among emerging adults.

This study explores empirically the relationship between employees' cognitive preferences for different styles of creative problem-solving, as measured by the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI), and their actual behavior in relation to organizational change in a large industrial setting. The hypothesis that overt creativity, problem solving and decision-making behavior is modified in a large industrial setting (even though the underlying cognitive style preference remains intact) in a way that is predictable and observable, is supported and replicated across three work groups. The research design produces a matrix with cognitive style and actual behavior as its axes, constructed using the inventory, together with colleagues' ratings of behavior based on items from the same inventory. Implications for research into the situational influences affecting overt creative problem-solving behavior of individuals at work and organizational change and development are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: Decisions that we make are always burdened with consequences, which are the inevitable result of our decision-making. The decision-making style (DMS) is the way in which managers acquire, process and use information in decision-making processes. The goals of the present research are to define the factor structure of DMS for a sample of Slovenian sports managers and to determine the characteristics of their DMS structure. Methods: 80 managers of Slovenian sports organizations filled in an anonymous internet survey. The DMS was measured with the use of the General Decision-Making Style Inventory (GDMS), which was translated into the Slovenian language. The GDMS questionnaire measures five different decision-making styles: rational, intuitive, dependent, avoidant and spontaneous. The factor analysis (FA) method was used to test the assumption about the structure of the DMS. The internal consistency was measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to study the relationship between the DMS. Results: After three successive implementations of FA, we developed an optimized DMS model with 20 items confirming that when making decisions, sports managers use a combination of all five DMS. Slovenian sports managers mostly use the rational and dependent DMS, indicating that they are mostly rational decision-makers. We also recognized the correlation between the rational and the dependent style, but since the structure of the DMS in our sample is dominated by the rational DMS, we could conclude that this is a dependent-rational DMS, where mangers seek advice, opinions and knowledge from colleagues when making decisions to increasing their rationality. Conclusions: We can conclude that the recognized average structure of the DMS is functional and healthy; furthermore, Slovenian sports managers are on average rational decision-makers who, due to the specific organizational characteristics of sports organizations, look for confirmation and opinions on future decisions in the broader environment of the organizations' stakeholders.

Cognitive style refers to a special, relatively consistent and stable manner in which one perceives the environment, interacts with it, masters learning, creates concepts, thinks and eventually makes decisions. In the current paper we use the model by Keen (1973) and Botkin (1974), according to which there are two main styles: systematic (deep approach) and intuitive style (surface approach). The study aims to examine whether and to what extent individual’s cognitive styles affect the decision making when it comes to a career choice, i.e. a field of study. Participants in the research were 153 students, from three fields of study: engineering, humanities, business and management. The Cognitive Styles Inventory by Martin L. P. (1998) was used as an instrument in the present study. The results show that the humanities students obtained statistically significantly higher score on the scale of intuitive style compared to the management and engineering students (F = 5,472, p < 0,005). Also the results indicate that there is a statistically significant but low correlation between intuitive cognitive style and academic success, operationalized as grade point avarage(r = 0,184*). No significant gender differences were found.

Purpose of this article: The study aims to examine the adolescents’ decision-making style and shopping orientation using consumer style inventory (CSI) as a segmentation tool. It proposes that adolescents’ decision-making styles are quite different from the adult consumers. Here, the researchers develop a typology that is based on the dimensions of CSI and its ability to predict the homogeneous cluster. Design/methodology/approach: The study is based on the clustering of adolescents on the basis of their decision-making styles. The study was carried out in India. A sample of 215 students has been taken. Factor analysis, cluster analysis which is followed by discriminant analysis, has been used in the study. Findings: The article provides a significant segmentation of adolescents’ market on the basis of their decision-making style. And at last in this article, we conclude that the adolescents have different decision-making styles than the adult consumers. Six out of eight dimensions of the Sproles and Kendall (1986) are relevant to the Indian adolescents. On the basis of these traits/styles, the adolescents are grouped into three different clusters, which are homogeneous and identifiable in nature. Originality/value: This article fulfils an identified need to study about the adolescents and how they have been clustered into different segments. The CSI is used as segmentation tool. This is the first study to segment the Indian adolescents market on the basis of their decision-making styles.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to explore the decision-making styles of Syrian young adults, and to examine the cross-cultural applicability of the Consumer Style Inventory (CSI) to an Arab population. Its aim is to advance understanding of contemporary consumer behaviour in the Arab world. Participants in the study described were undergraduate students at Damascus University and the results confirmed a six-factor consumer decision-making style. Social motivation was found to be an important factor for consumption. Syrians were more likely to relate to a brand or product to the extent where a cognitive match existed between an individual's self-concept and a positive value-expressive attribute. In addition, brand names formed cognitive reflections of product quality rather than formal assessments of quality in products. The results of this study could help in generalising theories developed in western societies to Arab populations, as well as in the better understanding of Arab consumer decision-making styles. Practical implications for practitioners and international marketers are also proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Involving students in making an educational decision is claimed to produce better outcomes. The effect of consensus-based education (CBE) on achievement in bioenergetics as moderated by gender and learning styles was determined. Two undergraduate biology classes were compared employing the quasi-experimental design, one using CBE and the other taught the conventional way. The Biology Achievement Test (BAT) was the main data collection tool used, supplemented with questionnaires, learning style inventory, videos, journal, and informal interviews. ANCOVA tested the effect of educational approach and the moderating effects of gender and learning styles while t-test compared the BAT scores between the groups. Results show that CBE can be a feasible alternative approach to teaching biology as it fairly addresses issues on gender and learning styles. It has also helped students develop their reasoning skills and improve their appreciation of democratic practices in the classroom. Key words: educational decision-making, consensus-based education, learning style effect, gender effect, achievement in bioenergetics.

Purpose – Purchasing behaviors have been studied in various countries. Previous studies involving consumer decision-making styles for sport products have only been seen in one country in order to either identify factors of Purchase Style Inventory for Sport Products (PSISP) or classify consumer shopping behaviors. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to identify consumers’ decision-making styles (shopping styles) for sport products from Japanese, Singaporean, and Taiwanese college-aged consumers. Design/methodology/approach – The scale of PSISP was adapted to measure consumer decision-making styles (shopping styles) for sport products. This instrument is composed of 35 items under nine dimensions. CFA, 3 (Nationality) × 2 (Gender) MANOVA and ANOVA were employed. Findings – According to the results of this study, there were significant different decision-making styles among three different countries in East Asia. Overall, Japanese male and female college-aged students exhibited higher brand consciousness than Singaporean and Taiwanese males and females. Research limitations/implications – As consumers from different countries show different lifestyle, education, economic, religion, and culture, they might have their unique shopping styles. Therefore, the dimensions related to decision-making styles need to be explored, and the scale needs to be validated using a substantial sport industry sample in the future study. Practical implications – This study helps East Asian advertisers or markets to rethink and develop appropriate marketing strategies as well as to understand the different decision-making styles of local consumers and better approach new and existing consumer markets. Originality/value – This paper is important for international sports marketers to predict consumer shopping patterns and maintain proper inventory levels, particularly when marketing in global markets.

AbstractThe General Decision-Making Styles (GDMS) scale measures five decision-making styles: rational, intuitive, dependent, avoidant and spontaneous. GDMS has been related to coping and some personality factors and sex-differences has been described. In spite of its usefulness, there is not a validated Spanish translation. The aim of this study is to translate to Spanish and provide psychometric evidence considering sex differences and the relationships between GDMS, personality and coping variables. Two samples were used for this study; the first sample composed by 300 participants who completed the GDMS and the Rational-Experiential Inventory (REI), and the second sample of 361 participants who completed the GDMS, the Ten Item Personality Trait Inventory and the brief COPE scales. Participants from second sample filled in GDMS a second time (137 participants) after eight weeks from the first data collection. Confirmatory factor analyses showed a five-factor composition of GDMS with equivalence across sex using invariance analyses. Moreover, GDMS showed acceptable internal consistency and temporal stability. Finally, rational and intuitive styles were related to healthier coping patterns and emotional stability, while dependent, avoidant and spontaneous styles were associated with unhealthy coping patterns and emotional instability.

Full textAbstract:
It is important for marketers to understand individuals’ buying decisions in a competitive environment. The concept of decision making style is one of the key determinants of consumers’ behavioral patterns. This study aims to explore the effects of consumers’ decision making styles on buying national and store brand food products. To examine consumer decision making styles, Sproles & Kendall’s (1986) The Consumer Style Inventory (CSI) is adopted for the study. The framework of the study is based on eight consumer decision making styles, expected to shape consumers’ national and store brand choices on food products. The empirical analysis is based on data obtained from consumers living in Kırşehir, a city in Turkey. Questionnaires are handed over to customers of retail stores both selling national and their own brands. The sample consists of 400 customers. The data is gathered by using convenience sampling and face-to-face survey methods. Multiple regression analysis is used to test some hypotheses of the research and to compare consumers’ national and store brand choices in the context of their decision-making styles. Besides, independent samples t-test and one way ANOVA are also used to see whether national and store brand choices significantly differs in demographic characteristics. The results of the study reveal that lower price seeking, habituation/brand loyalty, recreation consciousness and impulsiveness/carelessness have significant effects on the choice of store brand food product, whereas novelty/fashion consciousness, confused by over choice and value seeking have statistically significant effects on consumers’ choices of national brand food products. Lower price seeking is found to have the strongest effect on consumers’ store brand choices, whereas novelty fashion consciousness has the strongest effect on national brand food product choice. Besides, both store and national brand food product choices differ according to gender and income level.

The research is a descriptive and relational design research conducted with survey method. The sample group of the study consisted of a total of 130 wrestling referees, 109 of whom were male and 21 of whom were female, with an average age of 36.22±10.05, who were actively working in the Turkish Wrestling Federation. The data in the study were obtained by using Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire-SMTQ, Melbourne Decision-Making Inventory-II (MDMSI-II) and Referee Self-Efficacy Scale (REFS). The datas were analyzed using t test and ANOVA test and Pearson correlation analysis from parametric test methods. As a result of the research, it was found that there were positive significant relationships between SMTQ and REFS, positive significant relationships between SMTQ and careful decision-making among the sub-dimensions of MDMSI, negative significant relationships between REFS and careful decision-making style among the sub-dimensions of MDMSI, positive significant relationships between Buck-passing decision-making style, procrastinatory decision-making style and Hypervigilance decision-making style. It was found that there was a significant positive relationship between the refereeing year variable and the total scores of the SMTQ, a positive relationship between the game knowledge sub-dimension of the REFS sub-dimensions, and a negative relationship between all sub-dimensions of the MDMSI. According to the refereeing category variable, it was determined that there was no statistically significant difference in the overall averages of SMTQ and REFS, while there was a statistically significant difference in MDMSI; Buck-passing, Procrastination and Hypervigilance decision-making styles. This study can reveal which strategies can be applied to improve referees' decision-making processes or to improve their training programmes.Keywords: Decision Making, Mental Toughness, Self-Efficacy, Wrestling Referees

Purpose: This study aimed to explore how different thinking styles affect self-forgiveness in adolescents who self-injure, taking into account the role of executive functions in recovery compared to non-recovery. Methodology: A descriptive-correlational approach was used for this cross-sectional study, employing structural modeling and multi-group analysis (MGA). The study included all adolescents in Tehran with a history of self-harm between September and November 2023, with a sample of 111 adolescents selected through purposive sampling. Instruments utilized were the Thinking Styles Inventory (TSI), Executive Functions Questionnaire (EFQ), and Enright Forgiveness Inventory–30 (EFI-30). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27 for descriptive statistics and Independent Samples T-Test, as well as SmartPLS version 4 for path analysis and Multi-group Analysis (MGA), with a significance level set at 0.05. Findings: The study found that Inhibition, Organizing, and Planning decision-making functions did not significantly impact self-forgiveness in the Recovered Adolescents group, while the Planning decision-making function had a positive and significant influence on self-forgiveness in the Unrecovered Adolescents group (p = 0.043). Similarly, the Type 1 Thinking Style had a positive and significant effect on self-forgiveness in the Recovered Adolescents group (B = 0.872, p = 0.000). Conclusion: The results indicated that recovered adolescents exhibited a Type 1 thinking style and higher executive functions, correlating with greater levels of self-forgiveness. Conversely, non-recovered adolescents tended to have a Type II thinking style, with only the planning function contributing to increased self-forgiveness in this group. These findings highlight the significance of cognitive and psychological factors in the recovery process from self-injury.

The increase of online shopping in Indonesia makes the marketing division needs to know the effective technique which may be different with in-store marketing technique. One of the ways to know marketing technique type is through the consumers' decision-making style. This research goal is to see the difference of the decision making type in those selling places, (in-store and online), especially for apparel products. Decision-making style can be known through Consumer Styles Inventory (Sporal & Kendal, 1986). The participants in the research were 110 college students in Jabodetabek area which consist of 55 participants who chose to buy the product online. According to independent sample-test statistics calculation, it is known that there is a significant difference in the quality awareness (the significant score = 0.002, p<0.05). Those who bought the product online were more aware on the quality of the product than those who bought in-store. Therefore, the marketing division should show the products quality to online consumers more than to the in-store consumers so that the marketing will be more effective.

Background and Objectives. The career decision-making self-efficacy (CDSE) in medical, pharmacy, and dental students is more important than other disciplines due to professional sensitivity, direct involvement in decision-making for the treatment process, and the significant clinical involvement. It is also expected that learning styles can have a significant impact on the academic success, and the CDSE also affects the quality of clinical care. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the learning styles and the career decision-making self-efficacy among medicine and dentistry students. Materials and Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 235 medical interns and fifth- and sixth-year dental students of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences, Iran. The data were collected using Kolb Learning Style Inventory and Betz and Luzzo career decision-making self-efficacy questionnaire. Statistical tests such as Kolmogorov–Smirnov, Spearman correlation coefficient, Chi-square, one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data. Results. The mean age of participants was 25.9 ± 1.30; a majority of them were dental students (134 persons, 59.3%), and 92 were medical students (40.7%). The predominant learning styles in dental and medical students were assimilating (40.3%) and converging (47.8%), respectively. There was no significant relationship between students’ learning styles and career decision-making self-efficacy and none of its subscales ( P > 0.05 ). The Chi-square test results showed that a significant difference was observed between the field of study and learning styles of the participants ( P = 0.024 ). Conclusion. This study showed that there was no significant relationship between learning style and career decision-making self-efficacy of the participants.

This paper examines the effect of personal style on the administrative behavior of executive directors of sports governing bodies. Seventy-two executive directors from the National Sport and Recreation Centre in Ottawa and the Ontario Sport Administrative Centre in Toronto completed surveys designed to describe personal style (Personal Style Inventory) and administrative behavior (Leadership Behavior Description Questionnaire). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in behavior based on personal style. The best model of prediction included the behavioral variables of representation, reconciliation, structure, tolerance of freedom, consideration, and predictive accuracy. The results of this study support the hypothesis put forward by Kilmann and Herden (1976) that a person’s behavior in a decision-making role may be a reflection of personal style. These findings suggest that it may be important to understand the contribution of personal style to the decision-making process. Further, this may be a helpful exercise in understanding administrators in many organizations and, particularly as it pertains to this study, in volunteer sport organizations.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined raters’ decision making variations in a writing assessment task focusing on individual differences in decision-making style (DMS). The participants’ of the study were six TEFL instructors. A rating scale obtained from Turner and Upshur, 2002 and a General Decision Making Style Inventory questionnaire, GDMSI, obtained from Scott and Bruce (1995) were administered to raters. The results showed the raters’ behaviors were not equally the same in the same rating situations. These discrepancies suggested individual socio-cognitive differences in accounting for some rater variability in scoring. In addition, characteristics of the texts (not just individual cognitive characteristics) favored certain decision-making behaviors. Accordingly, a re-visioning of the one-size-fits-all approach that is currently the norm in the training of raters for scoring writing assessments is needed. Further, a more individualized approach to rater training is needed. If the individual decision-making style to a great extent is dependent on basic cognitive abilities that are stable and not easily changed, then the decision support systems need to be flexible in order to match the needs of the individual decision makers.

Full textAbstract:
Computer program writing is thought to be a challenging skill to master by both experts and students. A key component of developing into a successful student [1] of computer programming is metacognition. Instructive brain science defines metacognition as the monitoring and management of one's cognitive processes. 1145 engineering students were assessed using the personality questionnaires, Brain Dominance, Multiple Intelligences, Learning Style, and Metacognition tests. The two key elements of this study from Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods are the AHP and TOPSIS algorithms, which produce optimal decisions based on priorities. The multiple criteria decision-making process is compatible with both min and max functions. The study's psychology dataset includes four attributes for thinking style, eight for multiple intelligences, five for the personality scale, four for learning style, and eight for the metacognitive awareness inventory. The max function is also used for the learning style and the four attributes for the personality scale. The MCDM's outcome ranking order can be applied to the adoption of instructional strategies, individualized and customized learning directions, activity oriented learning, multiple assessments and attainments, student tracking strategies and techniques, and learning through adaptive tutoring systems. Additionally, it recommends combining a TPACK framework model with metacognition to help learners achieve their goals by navigating the talent, intelligent, and technological spaces while maintaining a high level of self-awareness.

This study investigated the effectiveness of different pedagogical exemplars for teaching mathematics across various learning styles using multimedia technology. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design. The experimental group received the intervention through an interactive computer presentation program, while the control group used the standard dialogue and discussion techniques. The study used survey questionnaires adapted from BARSCH's Learning Style Inventory and self-made pre-and post-tests to measure students' learning and engagement. The research findings revealed that students with different learning styles benefited differently from multimedia-assisted instruction, suggesting the importance of considering individual differences in instructional design. The use of multimedia technology in teaching mathematics facilitates the learning process of students with different learning styles. The results of this study also support the importance of using statistical analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions and to inform evidence-based decision-making in education. This study identified the most effective pedagogical exemplars for each learning style and highlighted the benefits of interactive media teaching mathematics. These findings suggest that teaching methods that align with students' learning styles can improve academic performance

Full textAbstract:
Young people make up the majority of online shoppers in Indonesia. The objectives of this study are to characterize the consumer decision-making styles of young internet users and to create a profile of their online shopping styles. A quantitative research approach was used to accomplish the research objectives. The primary data for the study were gathered by sending questionnaires via social media to consumers from Generation Z and millennials who buy goods through e-commerce in Indonesia; 400 people responded. The survey questions were based on the consumer style inventory (CSI). Seven characteristics of Indonesian young consumers’ online shopping styles are identified through factor analysis. According to the findings of this study, young consumers have a hedonic online shopping style in which they prefer high-quality products, seek entertainment when shopping, and are impulsive. Young consumers are obsessed with novelty and branded goods. They frequently have difficulty selecting online stores and products, but they are loyal to specific stores and brands. This study fills the gap by providing a more detailed understanding of the online shopping styles, with the implications of considering shopping styles when promoting the products and designing the user interface and user experience of an e-commerce store.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to define and develop digital products market segments in Tehran based on consumers’ buying decision-making styles (CDS) and testing applicability of Sproles and Kendall’s model [consumer style inventory (CSI)] for this steady growing market in Tehran and contributing to theories of market segmentation. Design/methodology/approach This research used exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to explore and identify digital products shoppers CDS. In addition, to determine whether the selected items and factors loaded, measured the identified CDS correctly, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to substantiate the number of explored CDS. Then, cluster analysis was executed to pinpoint decision-making groups and demographic characteristics such as gender, marital status, age, education and digital shopping experience to profile the diagnosed clusters. Findings Five CDS were distinguished for digital products customers (four former styles and one new one’s named “Premeditated buying”) through EFA and CFA analysis as a tool for segmenting; four clusters are, namely, “Best Seekers”, “Premeditators”, “Innovation Seekers”, and “Price Insensitive”. Practical implications It will be beneficial to companies focussing on the Iranian digital market. This study identifies each cluster behaviour based on demographic data too. Originality/value This is the first study focussing on market segmentation using extracting digital products decision-making styles. As the new shopping style, “Premeditated buying”, has been explored from this analysis and due to the nature of digital products, this CDS has not been found in previous studies and is unique to Iranian digital products shoppers.

398 graduate and undergraduate students from the USA, Japan, and Hong Kong were administered Kirton's 1976 Adaption-Innovation Inventory of decision style. Factor analysis yielded different factor solutions for each of the three groups. Differences in factor structures suggest that adaption and innovation may be interpreted differently across cultures, with implications for group performance in cross-cultural settings. When used in cross-cultural research, Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory scores should be assessed not only in terms of between-group differences in mean scores but also in terms of differences in underlying factor structures.
