The aim of this study is to examine the influence of environmental satisfaction, job satisfaction, and Big Five personality traits on subjective well-being. Data were collected from white-collar workers across four Chinese cities in 2009. All the research variables were measured with multi-item instruments with good psychometric properties. The research found that environmental satisfaction, job satisfaction,...
The aim of the study was to examine the psychometric properties and the gender differences and grade differences of Emotion Regulation Questionnaire in the sample more than 3000 Chinese adolescents (aged 10-20 years). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses provide evidence for steady two-dimension structure reflecting the initial construct: cognitive reappraisal and suppression. Significant...
This study presents an IT assessment tool that aims at capturing the level of IT sophistication in hospitals. In order to develop a measure that reflects IT capacities in hospitals, an IT scoring approach was proposed that incorporate eight IT dimensions related to the implementation of computerized processes and emerging technologies, and the level of internal and external systems integration. The...
The Middle School Students' Attitude to Mathematics, Science and Engineering Survey was developed to measure students' attitudes to engineering and knowledge about engineering careers as part of a program to enlarge the future pool of engineers because students' attitudes have been found to be an important predictor of whether students pursue careers in engineering. The program focuses on using pre-engineering...
Web site usability has been reported to have crucial effects on online purchases, but few theoretical models thoroughly examine its effects. In this article we adopt music composition theory to propose a theoretical model of Web site usability, assuming that composing good music is similar to designing a usable Web site. The relevance of nomological networks between three constructs of music (melody,...
The differential change of incoming male and female engineering students' self-beliefs over the freshman year hold critical import for continuous improvement in first-year engineering education. Whether male and female students hold similar noncognitive self-beliefs upon entering college, and if they change similarly over the freshman year, are examined. Thus, the objective of this work-in-progress...
Understanding the direct and indirect relationships among freshman engineering student attributes and outcomes can provide a foundation for continuous improvement in first-year engineering education. Therefore, the goal of this research has been to begin measuring relevant student attributes that will allow assessment tools of the future to monitor relative change in first-year engineering educational...
