  • Objectives: The objective of this study is to identify the gender differences of risk factors for falls among the elderly in community dwellings. Methods: We analyzed the data on 3,278(male 1,255, female 2,023) persons, including 497 persons who have experienced falls, drawn from the 2004 National Elderly Survey. We conducted a cross-tabulation analysis, $X^2$-test and hierarchical regression analysis of the impact of the socio-economical characteristics, environmental characteristics, the number of chronic diseases, usage of supplementary devices, activities of daily living, dementia, and the severity of problem behavior. Results: For the entire sample of the elderly, gender, age, the size of the cities of residence, the number of chronic diseases, and the severity of problem behavior were identified as risk factors for falls. The number of chronic diseases and the severity of problem behavior were found to be significant for the male subsample, while age, the size of cities of residence, dwelling types, and the number of chronic diseases were found to be significant for the female subsample. Conclusion: The number of chronic diseases was identified as a common risk factor for falls in the male and female elderly. Chronic diseases were also found to aggravate the risk for falls when they concur with other diseases.

  • This study examines the relationship between tip amount and its possible antecedents: bill size, the Big Five personality types, meal type, food quality, atmosphere, service quality, consumer gender, server gender, customer hospitality experience, race, and alcohol consumption. A survey of southeastern undergraduate students was conducted to collect information about the customer, server and customer tipping habits. While the analysis suggests that service is an important factor, it shows that other factors affect tip amount. Furthermore, these factors affect tip amounts in many different ways. Some examples of these factors include bill size, alcohol consumption, gender dynamics, meal type, food quality, and personality type. The conclusion suggests the intuition behind these factors by providing a dissection of their meaning and their importance to servers, customers, and managers alike. Purpose: This study tests restaurant customer tipping habits and some personality traits that have received limited previous attention as predictors of tipping. Methods: This study is that the tip amount was self-reported, business students at a university in a large southeastern city of USA were asked to complete a tipping journal. Results: This study was able to replicate the service-tipping relationship. Moreover, this study reiterated that server friendliness is a very powerful tool to increasing tips. Conclusion: This study strongly indicate that service has a positive relationship with tip amount, and also produce a positive relationship with emotional stability and a negative relationship to conscientiousness.

  • This paper investigates the effects of age, gender, and situational factors on take-over performance in automated driving. The existing automated driving systems still consider a driver as a fallback-ready user who is receptive to take-over requests. Thus, we need to understand the impact of situations and human factors on take-over performance. 34 drivers drove on a simulated track, consisting of one baseline and four event scenarios. The data, including the brake reaction time and the standard deviation of lane position, and physiological data, including the heart rate and skin conductance, were collected. The analysis was performed using repeated-measures ANOVA. The results showed that there were significant age, gender, and situational differences in the takeover performance and mental workload. Findings from this study indicated that older drivers may face risks due to their degraded driving performance, and female drivers may have a negative experience on automated driving.

  • Purpose: This study used the SORmodel (or cue utilization theory) to examine the impact of expanded quality factorsincluding product quality on customer satisfaction, attitude, and behavioral loyalty. This study examined the moderating effect of gender on the customer satisfaction-attitudinal and behavioral loyalty relationship. Research design, data, and methodology: 364 respondents were collected through an online survey and analyzed using the SmartPLS 4.0 program. Results: The findings show that product quality, along with system quality and service quality, are key determinants of customer satisfaction. In addition, this study shows that the relationship between customer satisfaction and attitudinal loyalty (repurchase and word-of-mouth intention) does not differ depending on gender, but the relationship between customer satisfaction and behavioral loyalty (share-of-visit and share-of-wallet) is stronger for women than for men. Conclusions: This research integrates concepts from environmental psychology and marketing focusing on website quality (information, system, service, and product), as well as satisfaction, attitudinal and behavioral loyalty. Online shopping mall practitioners must systematically analyze and assess the quality of online shopping, a pivotal factor driving customer satisfaction, attitude, and behavioral loyalty. Acknowledging the influence of gender on consumers' online purchasing behavior can aid online retailers in devising tailored e-commerce marketing strategies aimed at attracting and retaining customers.

  • 본 연구는 한국 성인 남성의 심리적 디스트레스에 있어서 성역할이 어떠한 역할을 하는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 구체적으로, 다차원적인 남성 규범에 대한 순응이 성역할 갈등을 매개로 하여 심리적 디스트레스를 예측하는지 검증하였다. 이를 위해 만 19~39세의 남성 참여자 358명을 대상으로 남성 규범 척도, 남성 성역할 갈등척도 그리고 일반정신건강 척도를 사용하여 본 연구를 시행했다. 연구 결과, 남성 규범의 하위 요인에 따라 남성 성역할 갈등을 매개로 하여 심리적 디스트레스에 미치는 영향이 상이함을 알 수 있었다. 남성 규범의 하위 요인인 '힘과 통제'와 '직업과 자립', '정서 억제'는 각각 성역할 갈등의 하위요인인 '여성성에 대한 공포'를 매개로 하여 심리적 디스트레스를 정적으로 예측하였다. 한편 남성 규범 중 '남성 리더십'과 '가족 부양자'는 심리적 디스트레스에 대한 부적인 직접 효과를 가졌으며, 성역할 갈등을 매개로 한 간접 효과는 유의미하지 않았다. 본 연구 결과는 남성 규범의 하위 요인이 심리적 디스트레스에 대해 각기 다른 기능을 가지며, 특히 성역할 갈등 중 여성성에 대한 부정적 정서를 야기함으로써 남성 규범의 역기능적 역할이 나타날 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

  • 정보화 시대의 도래로 인해 학교 현장뿐만 아니라 사회의 전 분야에서 인터넷의 사용이 폭발적으로 증가하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 고객 분석이 화두가 되는 온라인 마켓에서는 성인의 성별 요인이 인터넷 사용에 있어 하나의 중요한 요소로 인식되어 시스템 설계와 개발에 큰 영향을 미치는 요인이 되기도 한다. 마찬가지로, 대상자가 인터넷의 환경에 처음 노출되어 그 정도가 심화되어 가는 초등학생을 대상으로 성별, 인종, 문화 등 따라 그 개발과 설계를 근본적으로 달리 해야 하는가 하는 것은 최근의 중요한 이슈의 하나로 생각될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장 교사들의 많은 경험상 성별이 큰 영향을 미칠 것이라는 막연한 생각에 분명한 통계적 결과를 제시하여 a) 성인들과 같이 성별에 따라 교육용 시스템의 설계와 개발을 해야 할 필요성이 있는지에 대한 근본적인 의문에 답할 뿐만 아니라 b) 세부적으로 어떠한 요인들이 초등교육용 웹 사이트 개발에 핵심적 요소가 될 것인가를 192명의 설문결과를 바탕으로 분석하여 그 결론과 시사점을 도출하였다.
