Bridges and Fowler (2022) collected survey data regarding grocery shopping attitudes and behaviors prior to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and followed up by collecting similar data during the pandemic. This allowed for comparisons of grocery shopping habits before and during COVID-19; in addition, survey respondents were asked how they anticipated they would readjust their grocery shopping practices following the pandemic.

Successful Extension programming relies on strong relationships between campus-based Extension faculty/specialists and the field-based Extension agents they support (Shaklee et al., 2014). Strong connections facilitate bi-directional communication, enabling specialists to understand the needs of agents and their communities. The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent county and university office closures could have stymied these campus–county connections. Instead, it cleared a path to virtually strengthen relationships between Extension countybased and university-based staff through FCS Connect!
成功的扩展规划依赖于基于校园的扩展教师/专家与他们所支持的基于领域的扩展代理之间的牢固关系(Shaklee et al., 2014)。强大的联系促进了双向沟通,使专家能够了解代理商及其社区的需求。COVID-19大流行以及随后县和大学办公室的关闭可能阻碍了这些校园与县之间的联系。相反,它为通过FCS Connect实际上加强扩展县和大学员工之间的关系扫清了道路!

Paternal incarceration can destabilize families due to the disruption and stress that follow. For mothers, maintaining a relationship with incarcerated fathers from home while raising a child can be incredibly difficult. What keeps a relationship from dissolving after a father is incarcerated is not well understood. This study used family stress theory to identify the family capabilities and meanings associated with increased odds of relationship continuity among a sample of 116 families with incarcerated fathers. The findings revealed that families stayed intact when mothers reported a history of paternal incarceration and a positive relationship with the father prior to incarceration. This study shows the value of family meanings over family capabilities in overcoming the risks of relationship dissolution associated with paternal incarceration.

March 2020 will be etched in time as a significant pivot in the landscape of education. For many educators, transitioning to remote learning initiated a survival mode in which previously unutilized strategies were implemented to salvage curriculum. The lack of in-person interaction halted traditional instruction methods, altering opportunities to incorporate sufficient rigor. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning in higher education increased in popularity, despite perceptions of inconsistent online design and implementation (Meyer, 2002). The sudden shift to a remote learning environment sparked a return of student concern toward online learning. Shortly after the spring 2020 semester, 72.5% of students reported the online format required “more effort to complete my coursework” (Motz et al., 2021). The lack of proper training in online instruction often resulted in educators—unfamiliar with online tools designed for student engagement—who associated rigor with a robust amount of coursework (Tobin, 2020). As observed in the Motz et al. (2020) study, the intent to supplement in-person lectures with additional resources did not lead to learning. Recent research indicated that increased coursework with more time spent on assignments resulted in lower grades and decreased students' perceived success (Motz et al., 2021).
2020年3月将成为教育版图上的一个重要转折点。对于许多教育工作者来说,向远程学习的过渡开启了一种生存模式,在这种模式中,以前未使用的策略被实施来挽救课程。缺乏面对面的交流使传统的教学方法停滞不前,改变了融入足够严谨的机会。在COVID-19大流行之前,尽管人们认为在线设计和实施不一致,但高等教育中的在线学习越来越受欢迎(Meyer, 2002年)。突然转向远程学习环境引发了学生对在线学习的关注。2020年春季学期结束后不久,72.5%的学生报告说,在线形式需要“更多的努力来完成我的课程”(Motz et al., 2021)。缺乏适当的在线教学培训往往导致教育工作者不熟悉为学生参与而设计的在线工具,他们将严格性与大量的课程作业联系在一起(Tobin, 2020)。正如Motz等人(2020)的研究所观察到的那样,用额外的资源补充现场讲座的意图并没有导致学习。最近的研究表明,增加的课程和更多的时间花在作业上导致较低的成绩和降低学生的感知成功(Motz等人,2021)。

A pilot study was conducted to determine the feasibility of the quantitative survey method in identifying common motivations for wearing historically-inspired dress and identifying differences in motivation between genders. A questionnaire was developed and used with 131 respondents, and Principal component factor analysis with varimax rotation was run to determine construct validity and if there were multiple constructs that can explain respondents' motivations for wearing an everyday historically-inspired dress style. Data also were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t -test. The results suggested that the design of the instrument and sampling and data collection methods used in the pilot study must be adjusted to be feasible. Recommendations for future research include further scale development and increasing the pool of qualified research participants by reframing historically-inspired dress as HistoryBounding.

Social media is a significant communication tool in the tourism industry because it can reach a wide audience, interact directly, and is very effective in promoting tourist destinations and building close relationships between tourism businesses and tourists. Nonetheless, the role of social media in tourists' decision-making to visit a tourist destination is still not fully understood. Therefore, this study aims to understand what elements of Instagram content can make tourists decide to visit a tourist destination. Data collection was carried out using in-depth interviews with 20 domestic tourists. The analytical technique used to achieve the research objectives consisted of two steps, namely thematic analysis and followed by qualitative descriptive analysis. Based on the results of this study showed to be that Instagram content can trigger Generation Y and Z tourists' decisions to visit tourist destinations. Interesting Instagram content in terms of color, captions, and other people's comments can be one of the factors that attract tourists to visit tourist destinations. Overall, the research presents valuable insights for social media stakeholders and marketers in the tourism industry to optimize their content strategy and effectively target and engage Generation Y and Z tourists. However, it should be noted that these studies may have limitations in the scope and population studied, so further research is needed to deepen and expand our understanding of how Instagram affects Y and Z-generation travel decisions.

The research employed the method of Perceived Counterfeit Detection (PCD) to determine the significance of individuals' considerations in determining their decision to purchase original luxury brands. The study explored the relationship between self-brand connection and the purchase of counterfeit luxury brands, and also, evaluated the influence of economic benefits. The research was conducted through a survey of prospective luxury goods consumers, both original and counterfeit, in six malls located in two cities using a questionnaire. A sample of 930 participants was used, and the hypotheses were tested using a structural equation model. The findings indicate that an individual's self-concept might play a role in deciding whether to purchase an original or counterfeit luxury brand. It is noteworthy that the Perceived Counterfeit Detection completely influenced the relationship between self-brand connection and the decision to buy an original luxury brand. Furthermore, the study discovered that economic advantages intensified the inclination of consumers to buy counterfeit products in emerging economies. This contributes to the Social Identity Theory, suggesting that in scenarios heavily influenced by personal development, social pressure from one's social group might override individual moral considerations such as self-brand connection. The findings of this study hold considerable importance for managers and marketers as they enhance their comprehension of the influential role that individuals play in influencing the purchase of luxury brands. Marketing strategies need to consider the influence of family and social groups on buying choices, and advertisements should be customized accordingly.
