This exploratory study aimed to explore the possibility that self-regulated learning (SRL) boosts one’s self-efficacy (SE), rather than the opposite, which a number of literatures in individualist societies have highlighted, i.e. that SE enhances SRL. This study investigated this direction of relationship (SRL enhances SE) in a sample of first-year undergraduates from a collectivist society, Saudi Arabia, and this may have had a bearing upon the findings. To achieve this aim, the study developed a multidimensional model including SRL, SE, and motivation. This mixed-methods research included two sequential phases, a qualitative investigation, then, a quantitative study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted on university teachers, first-year undergraduates, and the students’ family members. The themes emerging from the analyses of the qualitative data informed the development of the questionnaire, which was administrated on a random, survey, sample of 2174 first-year undergraduates. The conceptual model was investigated by testing the measurement model (using confirmatory factor analysis), and then, the structural model (using structural equation modelling). The model fit the data well and all the relationships were positive and significant. It was found that motivation is associated with both SRL and SE. However, the strongest relationship was that SRL enhances SE significantly. Additionally, motivation had a stronger association with SE when SRL was a mediator . The literature on SRL and SE has been mainly developed and investigated in individualist societies. Therefore, when this study explored the possible links between the two among undergraduates from a different society and culture, it was found that SRL might enhance one’s SE.

This paper tries to investigate empirical results of the relationship between stock prices and oil prices over the period from January 2000 to December 2017 using the daily Thailand stock market index (SET) and West Texas Intermediate spot oil prices (WTI). We perform the unit root and cointegration tests for a long run relationship between these two variables. Next, we perform the causal relationship tests between stock prices and oil prices. Due to the limited power of traditional linear Granger causality test, the results may be misleading. We, then, conduct both the tests of linear Granger (1969)'s Granger and nonlinear Granger causality developed by Hiemstra and Jones (1993) and Diks and Panchenko (2006) to identify the possible nonlinear causality between stock prices and oil prices. The results show nonexistence of long run relationship between stock prices and oil prices, but there are both linear and nonlinear Granger causal relationship. Additionally, linear and nonlinear Granger causality tests show significant unidirectional causality from spot oil prices to stock prices. The results support the conservation hypothesis that oil prices lead stock prices, especially for the oil-importing country as in our case. Furthermore, the nonlinear causality test implies the structure breaks caused by some significant economic events which cannot be identified from linearity causality test.

Psychological manipulations both conscious and unconscious are ubiquitous. This article introduces three-step empirical research of psychological manipulation targets through vulnerability factors a manipulator exploits in interpersonal communication process in Russian context. In the Study 1 we conducted a survey (N=647) on subjective valuation in persuasion and social influence by manipulation receivers. As a result, we obtained a primary classification of vulnerabilities among the emotions and values of the objects of manipulation. In the Study 2 factor analysis showed four-type model of manipulators. Study 3 survey (N=5959) revealed the connection between perceived social influence and vulnerability factors. As a result, we managed to design a classification of vulnerability factors, create a four-type model of manipulators.

Emirati society is a mix of Arab, Ajam and other ethnic groups. The majority of Ajam who live in UAE, are essentially Arabs that migrated a while back to Iran from the Arabian Peninsula and migrated back again to the UAE shortly before or at the time of the formation of the country’s union. The main issue is that Arab, question the purity of Ajam due to their acculturation with the Persians. The discrimination against Ajam has become a silent racial issue affecting the relationship between the two groups. This perception has restricted the intermarriage between the two groups. The study considers Arabs and Ajam inter-relationships, social cohesion, and level of mutual acceptance, using a mixed method of data collection and analytical study of ethnological works. The objective is documenting the relationship between Arabs and Ajam, and understanding obstacles facing them with a view of proposing possible solutions for this social problem. The significance of this study is the fact that this social reality has not yet been studied in the open and addressed with its multifaceted dimensions taking place at the chore of UAE social fabric. The finding shows that: first, intermarriage between Arabs and Ajam exists commonly more often than the past; secondly, the social distance comes from old generation and significantly from Arabs more than Ajam; and finally, the young generation is more open to intermarriage and integration between the two groups in general due to moderation namely education, awareness, more openness and less conservatism.

Cyberbullying is basically bullying perpetrated on electronic or social media. This form of bullying is often overlooked and yet, it can be just as damaging as face-to-face bullying. This paper proposes a study on provocative linguistic features used in online bullying among Malaysian youths. Significant keywords or phrases used by tertiary level Malaysian students who have had the experience of being cyberbullied or have bullied others or are merely bystanders in social media platforms are elicited. Data collection comes in two phases; the first is through a survey using the BuLI questionnaire while the second involves analysing streamed data from Twitter using Twitter API and R statistical software. The analysis of the data adopted here is a corpus-based approach to identify Keyword in Context and clusters to indicate frequency and significance of usage. Themes are deduced using SPSS Statistics 23 and this is complemented with qualitative interpretation. Initial results pointed towards indications of linguistic categories of insult in relation to intelligence, physical appearance and worthiness. The linguistic realizations of these categories of bullying are a mixed code of Malay and English with innovative, marked (unusual) words and phrases that have crept into the lexicon of online insults. The preferred terms that are used are also uniquely related to the cultural concept of face‘ in the Malay culture.

The article analyzes the problems in the implementation of innovation policy in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan is in the top 50 in terms of economic development. But this development is based on extractive industries. At the same time the country tried unsuccessfully to enter the number in the top 100 of the innovation economy. Accepted by many government documents and policies, the state spends hundreds of millions of dollars, but the economy is steadily growing on the commodity path. What causes this, and can I fix it? The author gives advice on the formation of a new concept of innovation. Provides recommendations for an enabling environment for inventors and involvement in innovation regions, the development of effective mechanisms for the relationship between science and innovation, providing demand for innovation and planning innovation. Kazakhstan is better to focus on a very narrow range of directions of innovative development, especially health care, work on models of global capitalization of ideas, build a culture of innovation with school families, to the regionalization of innovation policy, science and the natural sciences, to reform the regulatory framework of innovation, competition and export support innovative companies, tax incentives for leading companies. The article highlights 3 versions of innovative development.

In conventional areas of architectural design, heritage conservation, history and literature, architectural identity is often conceived and represented as a timeless and historically stable entity. This is reflected in particular practices of building design and heritage conservation that view and portray architectural identity in terms of aesthetics or built form, these representations and ideas of architecture portray identity as an immutable and historically continuous subject of knowledge. This paper first offers theoretical framework to maintain the identification of identity, architectural identity, and national identity. It also raises the issue of identity in general and in architecture as a multidisciplinary concept. This paper deals with the impact of local culture on shaping the architectural identity. Furthermore, investigate the transformative nature of architecture and the identity, drawing on cultural, historical concepts of meaning as a theoretical framework which discussed by theorists such as Bourdieu, Foucault and Barthesto. And also shed light on the architectural identity in the city of Amman reading and analyzing previous studies about Amman’s identity to deduct the main features of architectural styles in Amman and the reason of difficult finding a unified architectural identity.
