Purpose: This study aims to verify sellers' economic incentives for voluntarily disclosing negative information in online markets and provide practical guidelines to online sellers in terms of whether, when, and how sharing low quality to buyers increase sales. Research design, data and methodology: Our model examines the number of bidders in Internet auctions to measure potential demand and uses count data analysis following previous studies that have also analyzed the number of bidders in auctions. After checking over-dispersion and zero-inflation in our data, we have run a Poisson regression to analyze the effect of sharing negative information on sales. Results: This study presents a counterintuitive result that low-quality sellers can increase their demand by fully disclosing negative information in an online market, if appropriate risk-reducing methods are employed. Our finding thus shows that there exists economic incentive for online sellers to voluntarily disclose negative information about their products, and that the context of transactions may affect this incentive structure as the incentive varies across product categories. Conclusions: As the positive impact of disclosing negative information has rarely been studied so far, this paper contributes to the literature by providing a unique empirical analysis on the impact of sellers' honesty on sales. By verifying economic incentives of disclosing low quality with actual online sales data, this study suggests practical implications on information disclosure strategy to many online sellers dealing with negative information.

The importance of problem solving in mathematics education has been emphasized and many studies related to this issue have been conducted. But, studies of problem solving in the aspect of affect domain are lacked. This study found the changing pattern of emotions that occur in process of a problem solving. The results are listed below. First, students experienced a lot of change of emotions and had a positive emotion as well as negative emotion during solving problems. Second, students who solved same problems through same methods experienced different change patterns of emotions. The reason is that students have different mathematical beliefs and think differently about a difficulty level of problem. Third, whether students solved problems with positive emotion or negative emotion depends on their attitude of mathematics. Fourth, students who thought that a difficulty level of problem was relatively high experienced more negative affect than students who think a difficulty level of problem is low experienced.

Background and objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of visitors' positive emotions on satisfaction and loyalty with the perception of restorative environment of a healing garden created in an urban agriculture expo. Methods: The psychological indicators to the images of the healing garden were analyzed by the visitors' demographic variables and the three factors of plant cultivation activity level: plant cultivation experience, plant preference, and plant-related event. Results: Between age groups and occupational groups, significant differences were found statistically. The Perceived Restorativeness Scale(PRS) showed significantly differences between age groups in repose, fascination and legibility. The Positive Affect & Negative Affect Schedule(PANAS) showed statistically significant differences between age groups in positive emotions. In addition, we investigated the correlation between the PANAS and the three factors of plant cultivation experience level, the four factors of the PRS, satisfaction and loyalty. The three factors of plant cultivation experience level, the four factors of the PRS, satisfaction and loyalty showed a positive correlation with positive emotions and were inversely correlated with negative emotions significantly. Multiple regression analysis with dummy variables was conducted to examine the effects of plant cultivation activity level, attention restoration, and the PANAS on healing garden visitors' satisfaction and loyalty. As a result, among the four factors of the PRS, fascination and positive affectivity were significant variables that affect healing garden visitors' satisfaction and loyalty. Conclusion: The results indicated that the higher the attention restoration of visitors due to the fascination of the healing garden and the higher their positive affectivity and the more they have plant-related memories, the higher their impact on healing garden visitors' satisfaction and loyalty. Therefore, fascinating natural environments or greenery landscapes like healing gardens where people can contact plants would reduce negative emotions such as anger and sadness but to increase positive emotions such as pleasure, joy and satisfaction.

In this paper, we have systematically investigated the variation of electrical characteristics with back-gate bias of n-channel SOI MOSFET\\`s. When positive bias is applied back-gate surface is inverted and back channel current is increased. When negative bias is applied back-gate surface is accumulated but it does not affect to the electrical characteristics.

A kernel machine is proposed as an estimating procedure for the linear and nonlinear Poisson regression, which is based on the penalized negative log-likelihood. The proposed kernel machine provides the estimate of the mean function of the response variable, where the canonical parameter is related to the input vector in a nonlinear form. The generalized cross validation(GCV) function of MSE-type is introduced to determine hyperparameters which affect the performance of the machine. Experimental results are then presented which indicate the performance of the proposed machine.

This study investigated the profiles of anger expression (anger control, anger in, anger out) and their variation in forms, and determined the differences in depression, aggression, and negative affect intensity of middle school students. For this purpose, the survey responses of 296 middle school students in Seoul were analyzed. The major study results are as follows. (1) Cluster analyses yielded four anger expression profiles: cluster 1 was characterized by high scores for anger control, anger in and anger out, cluster 2 by low scores for anger control, high scores for anger in and anger out, cluster 3 by low scores for anger control, anger in and anger out, and cluster 4 by low scores for anger in, high scores for anger control and anger out. (2) Between-cluster differences in depression, aggression, and negative affect intensity were all significant. The posteriori test indicated that cluster 4 was higher than the other three clusters in terms of depression. Cluster 3 was higher than the other three clusters on aggression, cluster 2 was higher than cluster 4 in terms of aggression. The interventions by aggression expression cluster are discussed and the implications of this research to education and counseling are explained.

This study investigated the specific effects of dance themed movies on dance students in their passion for dance and affect. The related data is generated by choosing a method of Convenience Sampling and used a sample of 112 dance students in high school of arts which located in Seongnam-si, South Korea. The dance students divided into 3 group of school year and also 2 group of gender. The dance themed movies which are used in this research are First Position, Billy Elliot and Mao's Last Dancer. Also, the dance students were asked to answer the survey which are based on the Self-administration. In order to obtain several findings below, Frequency analysis, Exploratory factor analysis, Reliability analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Correlation analysis and Linear structural relation model were applied to the gathered data using statistics utility SAS 9.4. First, there was a significant difference between the school years in the passion for dance and affect of students after watching movies. Second, there was a significant difference in students' affect depended on their majors (dance major is divided into three specialized major which are ballet, korean dance and modern dance). Third, there was a significant difference in the passion for dance and students' affect which is irreverent to their dance career (such as years they have learned dance). Forth, there was a significant difference in the passion for dance and negative affect of 'dance' students after watching movies. To summarize, the findings demonstrate that there is a partial difference, specially significant effects on their negative affect in the dance passion and affect of dance students depended on their characteristics after watching dance themed movies.

This study examined effects of children's emotionality, interpersonal problem solving strategies, and maternal behaviors during mother-child interaction on children's social competence as rated by teachers. Data were analyzed separately for boys and girls. A total of 102 children(60 boys, 42 girls; aged 5-6) and their mothers were studied. Children's positive and negative emotionality were related to their social competence. Positive solving strategies were positively related to boy's social competence; negative solving strategies had negative to both boy's and girl's social competence. Mother's negative affect related negatively to boy's social competence and mother's sensitivity/guidance related positively to girl's social competence. When children's emotionality and interpersonal problem solving strategies were controlled, maternal behaviors during mother-child interaction did not contribute to children's social competence.

Objective: This study explored the mediating effects of language development on the influences of young children's media use on positive and negative peer interactions. Methods: The data came from the 2013 Panel Study on Korean Children (N = 1,215) and were analyzed to assess the mediating effects of media use on positive and negative peer interactions, using SEM with the bootstrapping method by means of SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 20.0. Results and Conclusion: The results show that increased media use affects positive and negative peer interactions through language development. This indicates that, while media use does not directly affect positive and negative peer interactions, it appears to increase the difficulty of developing language ability; as the language development worsens, undesirable peer interactions may develop. Thus, language development seems to play an important mediating role between media use and peer interactions. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
