  • Most people today search for information on the Internet about the goods or services they want to purchase and then assess the replies posted by other people who have experience with those goods or services. These replies serve as an important reference point that can affect purchase decisions. Replies are divided broadly into two types: first, market normative replies about whether a person experiences satisfaction with (or more than) the price paid for goods or services (positive) or not (negative); and the second is non-market normative replies about whether the goods or service provider morally deserves the profits gained from providing them (positive) or not (negative). Previous studies on replies have focused on market normative replies (whether the food is delicious), and there have only been some studies on the effect of non-market normative replies (the owner is morally good). This research was undertaken to re-examine the effect of market normative replies identified by previous studies in a restaurant visit intention evaluation (Experiment 1), to examine the effect of non-market normative replies not investigated in previous studies (Experiment 2), and to compare the effect of market normative replies and non-market normative replies (the meta-analysis) In conclusion, restaurant visit intention was stronger when market normative replies were positive (delicious) than when they were negative (not delicious) (Experiment 1). Furthermore, restaurant visit intention was stronger when non-market normative replies were positive (the owner is moral) than when they were negative (the owner is immoral) (Experiment 2). On the other hand, it was found that restaurant visit intention was stronger when non-market normative replies were positive than when market normative replies were positive, and restaurant visit intention was weaker when non-market normative replies were negative than when market normative replies were negative. This implies that people are more likely to be affected by non-market normative replies than market normative replies. In addition, this study suggested that the mood changed more before and after checking non-market normative replies than before and after checking market normative replies, and due to this difference, people could be affected more by non-market normative replies than market normative replies.

  • This thesis investigates influential attributes in clothing purchase through the examination of questionnaire concerning consumer satisfaction at the point of purchase, and clarifies the relationship between consumer satisfaction at the point of purchase and that in wearing. The results are as follows; 1. At interest stage, color, beauty, becomingness and suitability to occasion are influential (in this order): at trial stage, becomingess, color, others' reaction and fit: at adaption stage, color, becomingness, beauty, fit. 2. According to canonical analysis, consumer satisfaction at the point of purchase and that in wearing are closely related. (RCI = .97) It suggests that satisfaction in wearing depends largely on satisfaction at the point of purchase. 3. General satisfaction in wearing is closely related with such factors as predictive expecta-tion, satisfaction at the point of purchase, predictive disconfirmation, normative disconfirrna-tion, and product performance. According to repression results, those factors can explain $79\%$ of satisfaction ill wearing (R = .79). Above all, product performance and normative disconfirmation are highly influential.

  • As a preliminary work for the clothing conformity study, Its theoretical backgrounds were reviewed. In the view of convertibility into clothing conformity, two prevailing conformity types were studied. One is normative-social influence and informational-social influence classified by Deutsch and Gerald. And the other is Kelman's classification which includes compliance, identification and internalization. Reference group, as an object of conformity, was studied. In addition to Engel and Blackwell' s and Assael's classification, the reference groups which were revealed in the studies of consumer behavior and clothing behavior were reviewed. The factors were reviewed which influence conformity and clothing conformity. They were product factor, group factor, situational factor and individual factor.

  • The research aims to examine the impact of leadership style on accountants' commitment with FDI firms in Vietnam based on theory of Bass and Avolio (2004). A survey with 110 accountants in FDI firms was conducted. The total of 110 respondents with full information were used for data entry and analysis. Through quantity methodology, we used Cronbach's Alpha, EFA and correlation analysis to determine the relationship between leadership style and three dependent variables including affective, normative and continuance commitment. The results showed that the leadership style had positive relationships with accountants' commitments. In particular, normative commitment with FDI firms of accountants is the most strongest. In addition, there is no statistically difference in the level of three commitments with FDI firms of accountants for three groups of job description. From the findings, this study suggests several recommendations to improve accountants' commitments such as intellectually stimulating, individualized consideration, inspirational motivation, idealized influence, and idealized influence behavior. The results are considered as a useful reference for establishing policies to attract talent personnel toward to sustainable development of firms. Commitment with the organization is a crucial factor to gain a competitive advantage and guide the success of organizations by satisfying customers, maintaining productivity and efficiency.

  • The purpose of the study is to determine how organizational culture affects employees' organizational commitment in Vietnamese clothing enterprises. Quantitative research through a questionnaire survey was applied in this research. A Survey of employees of Vietnamese garment companies in Hanoi was conducted from May 2021 to August 2021. The questionnaire was built from reference to previous studies and transferred to Google form. 315 returned questionnaires were usable. The statistical software SPSS 20.0 was used to test the reliability of the scale (Cronbach alpha), exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and regression analysis. The Organizational culture is constructed by 8 components including Organizational Communication, Training and development, Reward and Recognition, Teamwork orientation, Decision-making, Innovation and risk-taking, Direction and future planning, and Leader behavior. Organizational commitment is constructed by 3 components such as affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment. Findings show that organizational culture has a strong impact on organizational commitment in Vietnamese garment companies. Research provides recommendations on developing a good organizational culture through forming suitable leadership, effective organizational communication, training and development, reward and recognition, and a clear direction and future planning to enhance employee commitment to the organization and increase the garment company's performance in the future.

  • Despite the commercialization of Next generation sequencing (NGS) gene testing, only a few studies have addressed the various ethical and legal problems associated with NGS testing in Korea Here, we reviewed the normative issues that emerged at each stage of the wet analysis and bioinformatics analysis of NGS gene testing. In particular, it was in mind to apply various international guidelines and the principles of bioethics to actual clinical practice. Considering the characteristics of NGS testing, wet analysis of additional testing can be justified if presumptive consent is recognized. Furthermore, the medical relationship between diseases needs to be established and it should be clear that the patient would have given consent if the patient had been aware of the correlation between genes. At the stage of bioinformatics analysis, the question of unsolicited findings arises. In case of unsolicited and relevant findings, according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), a recognized relationship between genes and diseases needs to be established. In case of unsolicited and not-relevant findings, it is almost impossible to determine whether knowing or not knowing the findings is more beneficial to the patient. However, it seems to be certain that the psychological harm an individual may suffer from such information is likely to be greater if the disease is severe and if there is no cure. The list of genes for which the ACMG guidelines impose reporting obligations is a good reference for judgment.

  • Objective Trichotillomania is a relatively common illness whose neurobiology is poorly understood. One treatment for adult trichotillomania, n-acetyl cysteine (NAC), has antioxidative properties, as well as effects on central glutamatergic transmission. Preclinical models suggest that excessive oxidative stress may be involved in its pathophysiology. Methods Adults with trichotillomania provided a blood sample for analysis of compounds that may be influenced by oxidative stress [glutathione, angiotensin II, ferritin, iron, glucose, insulin and insulin growth factor 1 (IGF1), and hepcidin]. Participants were examined on symptom severity, disability, and impulsivity. The number of participants with out-of-reference range oxidative stress measures were compared against the null distribution. Correlations between oxidative stress markers and clinical measures were examined. Results Of 14 participants (mean age 31.2 years; 92.9% female), 35.7% (n=5) had total glutathione levels below the reference range (p=0.041). Other oxidative stress measures did not have significant proportions outside the reference ranges. Lower levels of glutathione correlated significantly with higher motor impulsiveness (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale sub-score) (r=0.97, p=0.001). Conclusion A third of patients with trichotillomania had low levels of glutathione, and lower levels of glutathione correlated significantly with higher motor impulsiveness. Because NAC is a precursor for cysteine, and cysteine is a rate limiting step for glutathione production, these results may shed light on the mechanisms through which NAC can have beneficial effects for impulsive symptoms. Confirmation of these results requires a suitable larger follow-up study, including an internal normative control group.
