Purpose: This study aims to investigate the factors influencing the sense of life meaning and psychological well-being among college students and to understand and explore the mediating roles of positive emotions and life adaptation. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a quantitative approach for testing. A total of 1,152 college students were randomly selected from nine higher education institutions located in Shanxi Province, China. Findings: There is a positive relationship between college students' sense of life meaning and psychological well-being. Positive emotions and life adaptation play a mediating role in the relationship between college students' sense of life meaning and psychological well-being. Conclusion: College students' sense of life meaning exerts a mediating effect on psychological well-being through life adaptation. Positive emotions and life adaptation also mediate the effects of a sense of life meaning on psychological well-being. Research Limitations/Implications: The sample in this study was exclusively drawn from various higher education institutions in Shanxi Province, China. Therefore, the conclusion may not be universally applicable to all levels of education and teaching situations. Practical Implications: This study provides valuable insights for schools and society to formulate targeted measures for promoting psychological health thereby enhancing college students' life satisfaction and happiness. Contribution to the Literature: This research establishes a structural framework for understanding the relationship between positive emotions, life adaptation and psychological well-being providing an important reference for future studies in this area.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a global malignancy with 10.2% of cases, ranking third in worldwide cancer cases. According to Indonesia Health Research, CRC's prevalence has risen significantly, reaching 1, 8 per mile in 2018, and reports rising cancer cases in the past 5 years. This study explores the relationship model between smoking, socioeconomics, and CRC, considering cultural moderation. Design/Methodology/Approach: Conducted as a retrospective study with 212 respondents, comprising 172 cases of left-sided colorectal cancer (left CRC ) and 40 cases of right-sided colorectal cancer (right CRC) from three cultural areas. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) employing Warp-PLS was utilized for data analysis. Finding: A significant positive relationship was found between smoking and CRC prediction (β = 0,081, p-value = 0,040). This pattern also applies to socioeconomic status and CRC prediction (β = 0,311, p-value = <0,001). The influence of culture on both relationships is not the same. The relationship between smoking and CRC prediction is not influenced by culture (p-value = 0,318). Conversely, the relationship between socioeconomic status and CRC prediction is influenced by culture (β = 0,078, p = 0,047). Conclusion: Poor smoking habits and weak economic conditions influence the prediction of CRC negatively in East Java Province. Unfavorable cultural practices further worsen the relationship between weak socioeconomic status and poor CRC prediction in East Java Province. Recommendations suggest that preventing adverse CRC outcomes can be achieved through smoking cessation and improving socioeconomic conditions. Preventive efforts to enhance socioeconomic conditions should consider local cultural nuances. Research limitation: This research is limited to a population group in East Java Province, Indonesia, divided into three cultural areas: Mataraman, Arek, and Pendalungan.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of anxiety and stress on false confessions among police suspects in custody. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopted an ex post facto design. Participants were one hundred and nine (N 109) suspects in custody at the State Criminal Investigation Department of Kaduna State Police Command, Kaduna State, Nigeria. The present study included three measurement tools to assess different constructs: The Gudjonsson Confession Questionnaire-Revised (GCQ-R) was utilized to evaluate false confession, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was employed to assess anxiety levels, and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was utilized to measure perceived stress. Findings: Results revealed that state anxiety positively predicted false confession (β =0.191, p < 0.05), whereas trait anxiety has no significant effect on false confession (β=- 0.050, p > 0.05), while perceived stress positively predicted false confession (β =0.273, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that state anxiety and perceived stress contribute to a suspect’s predisposition to make a false confession. It was recommended that police officers be more cognizant of when and under what conditions they use interrogation methods in view of the level of anxiety and stress the suspect might be in.

Purpose: The objective of this qualitative study is to investigate the perspectives of recovering counsellors on counselling approaches and the influence that their personal attributes have on clients. Design/Methodology/Approach: Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were utilised, and semi-structured face-to-face interviews were carried out with 18 recovering counsellors in New York, USA. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the data. Findings: Motivational interviewing (MI), and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and support groups were popular therapeutic modalities among many participants. Recovering counsellors underlined that utilising personal qualities contributed positively to treatment outcomes by establishing a long-lasting relationship with clients. Conclusion: This study's findings underscored the significance of exploring recovering SUD counsellors' viewpoints regarding their counselling approaches and personality traits in underscoring their role in providing treatment services to clients. Research Limitations: The study reflects recovering counsellors' perspectives at a specific moment, but the dynamic nature of recovery implies that their views and approaches may evolve over time, affecting the long-term implications of their counselling methods. Practical Implications: Organizations may consider providing supervision to recovering counsellors, acknowledging the challenges they face, and leveraging their personal qualities for better client engagement. Contribution to Literature: The study's emphasis on therapeutic modalities and personal qualities provides practical insights for optimizing counselling approaches and maximizing the benefits of employing recovering counsellors in SUD treatment settings.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the financial literacy of the indigenous people known as Orang Asli in Malaysia and examines the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that may influence financial literacy among the Orang Asli in Banting, Selangor, Malaysia. Four factors are chosen namely, financial attitude and financial knowledge which represent the intrinsic factors and parental socialization and peer influence which represent the extrinsic factors. Methodology: The researchers approached the village chief of the Orang Asli in Kampong Tadom, Banting to seek his assistance in conducting the questionnaire survey. The researchers came to the village and distributed the questionnaires to 102 Orang Asli. Findings: According to the findings of this study, only financial knowledge influences the financial literacy of Orang Asli in Banting, Selangor. As a result, JAKOA can implement a few tactics to improve their financial understanding and their financial literacy such as delivering financial education programmes and teaching financial awareness at an early age. However, this factor contributes 60% to the financial literacy of the Orang Asli despite the fact that only financial knowledge significantly influences the financial literacy of the Orang Asli. Practical Implication: The findings of this study provide insights and recommendations to enhance financial education initiatives targeted specifically at Malaysian Orang Asli. Contribution to Literature: The findings of this study contribute to the existing literature on the financial literacy of the Orang Asli.

Purpose: This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption of mobile banking (m-banking) in Nepal. It seeks to identify the key determinants of user acceptance in a context where concerns about safety and trust persist. Design/Methodology/Approach: Questionnaires were used to gather data from 240 respondents out of a total sample size of 300. Regression, ANOVA, post-hoc analysis and other descriptive and inferential statistics were used to examine the relationships between perceived risk, trust, convenience, relative benefits and m-banking adoption in Nepal. Findings: Perceived risk was found to have a significantly negative relationship with m-banking adoption. Relative advantages showed a strong positive relationship with adoption. However, trust had a negligible impact and convenience did not demonstrate statistical significance. Age and education significantly affected user acceptability with users over 50 and those with advanced degrees showing higher acceptance. Conclusion: The study suggests focusing on the relative benefits of mobile banking and addressing perceived risk in order to increase users’ confidence. The findings suggest that trust may not be a significant factor and convenience's role remains uncertain. Banks should adapt their strategies to accommodate customers of various ages and educational levels. Practical Implications: The findings guide financial institutions and regulators to improve m-banking adoption. Implementing user-friendly, low-risk, low-cost financial services and financial literacy programs can enhance user acceptance. This study applies the technology acceptance model to Nepal and emphasizes the need for a national strategy to promote formal financial services including m-banking. It helps understand technology adoption in emerging economies.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the self-development motivation of Deluxe Hotel employees in Korea on job performance. Design/Methodology/Approach: The current study included 332 subjects who were employees of deluxe hotels located in Korea, for whom a self-reporting questionnaire survey was performed. They were given questionnaires via a mail survey using a judgment sampling method. The selection criteria for the current study were limited to employees who were engaged in the department of foods and beverages or cuisine at deluxe hotels in Korea. Structural equation model analysis was conducted to verify the hypothesis. Finding: The results of this study supported the following hypotheses: “Autonomous motivation has a significant positive impact on job competency,” “Job competency has a significant positive impact on job efficacy”, and “Job efficacy has a significant positive impact on job performance.” Conclusion: The current results indicate that motivation for self-development is an essential factor that may raise employees’ performance and create new opportunities for an organization. Therefore, it would be mandatory to implement effective strategies for motivation and self-development and involve employees in the decision-making process. Thus, dedicated efforts should be made to harmonize an employee's goals with an organization’s goals.

Purpose: In light of the rapid proliferation of socially responsible corporate practices, this study aims to verify the effects of cause-related ads. Specifically, we seek to investigate four factors that influence the effectiveness of cause-related ads: customers' perception of cause-related ads, brand-consumer relationships, brand attachment, and loyalty. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study conducted a combination of experimentation and a questionnaire survey on 324 undergraduate students in an in-class setting. Pretests were performed on 100 participants to select two video ads featuring two different themes with contrasting appeals (rational vs. affective). Findings: The result shows that customers' perception of cause-related ads positively influenced the consumer-brand relationship. In addition, the brand-consumer relationship significantly influenced brand attachment and customer loyalty. Conclusion: This result confirms that corporate social responsibility activities or cause-related ads form a favorable corporate image, resulting in a positive relationship with the company's product or service brand, repurchase or repurchase of the company's products, and positive word of mouth. Practical Implications: The result suggests that the formation of an amicable image with brands through attachment to corporate brands can increase corporate love and loyalty. Therefore, to create highly loyal customers, companies will need to create a favorable image through a continuous influx of socially responsible ads.
