The rapid spread of COVID-19 threatened and endangered the lives as well as the well-being of the people. In particular, the vulnerable population suffered more losses than anybody else due to social and economic problems caused by it on a vast scale throughout the world. The purpose of this study is to examine the severity perception of novel coronavirus on attitudes towards vaccination and safety measures. To obtain an overall image, the present cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted. Data for the study was collected online from a sample of 368 respondents from the whole province of Balochistan using a closed-ended Likert scale questionnaire. As expected by the conceptual framework, the correlation between severity perception and safety attitude, as well as the relationship between severity perception and attitude towards vaccination, was found to be positive. Moreover, the correlation between both of the hypotheses was also positive.

This quantitative study explores the complex phenomenon between societal expectations and cultural norms for shaping gender discrimination and further investigates the factors that affect gender differences in educational attainment in Pakistan. There are still large gender differences in the educational environment in Pakistan, and these issues have been raised with time. The goal of this research is to present a thorough investigation of the underlying causes of these differences, with an emphasis on the influence of societal standards and cultural expectations. This study is based on a quantitative approach with pertinent primary data gathering through surveys. Data on attitudes, beliefs, and practices about gender and education have been collected through a survey of a representative sample of Pakistani families and educational institutions. In addition to this quantitative data for collecting the gender gaps, qualitative interviews with important stakeholders were also conducted. This research tries to discover significant drivers of gender gaps in educational attainment by examining the links between variables such as parental expectations, cultural attitudes regarding gender roles, access to resources, and educational results. The results of the study anticipated and concluded that social norms and cultural standards affect Pakistani students' decisions and performance in school. Additionally, the study recommended insightful information to educational institutions and policymakers for the purpose of creating focused interventions that will address these discrepancies and solve the gender equality issues in education.

This cross-sectional research probes the nexus of Consumer Personality, Brand Personality, and Purchase Intentions among diverse shoppers in Punjab's malls. Employing a self-administered questionnaire and robust sampling, 450 participants were engaged to reflect the demographic spectrum. Leveraging structural equation modeling with Smart PLS-SEM, the study unveils Consumer Personality's positive impact on Brand Personality. Notably, Brand Personality mediates the path to Purchase Intentions. The findings contribute insights into cognitive mechanisms governing purchase decisions, fostering theoretical enrichment. This research provides a compass for marketers seeking resonance in today's evolving consumer landscape.
