One mechanism underlying the hedonic benefits of experiential purchases is that one’s core self is more centrally reflected in experiential purchases. However, little is known about whether people consume experiential purchases as a means of discovering their true self. The present research explored the possibility that people value experiential purchases as a potential tool for understanding their true self. Consistent with the hypothesis, Study 1 demonstrated that experiential purchases were p

Two studies ( N = 649) examined the association between self-alienation (SA; i.e., feelings of detachment from one’s true self) and academic amotivation (AA; i.e., lack of motivation in the academic domain). Based on classical and contemporary theories, a strong link between alienation and amotivation was predicted. A cross-sectional correlation study (Study 1) found that SA significantly predicted AA controlling for relevant variables (e.g., self-efficacy). A four-wave longitudinal design (Stud

Abstract A stable conformal interface technology for rough and sweaty complex skin is essential for a haptic interface capable of delivering sophisticated mechanical stimuli. However, conventional polymeric/hydrogel‐based skin adhesives cannot maintain adequate adhesion interaction performance at the haptic interface due to repetitive vibrations or sweaty skin. This study reports a reversible, versatile skin‐attached haptic interface platform, which embeds the hybrid architecture of a water‐drai

The purpose of a data leakage prevention system is to protect corporate information assets. The system monitors the packet exchanges between internal systems and the Internet, filters packets according to the data security policy defined by each company, or discretionarily deletes important data included in packets in order to prevent leakage of corporate information. However, the problem arises that the system may monitor employees' personal information, thus allowing their privacy to be violat

Many people endorse a “true-self-as-guide” (TSAG) lay theory of decision-making that suggests following one’s true self is an optimal strategy for making decisions. Across five studies ( N = 1,320), we test whether perceived use of the true self enhances decision satisfaction. Study 1 provides correlational evidence. Studies 2 and 3 provide experimental evidence that participants felt more satisfied with choices made under TSAG instructions, compared to alternate strategies. Critically, we argue

A widespread lay theory in the United States suggests that the best way to make decisions is to follow who you “really are”, referred to as the “true-self-as-guide” (TSAG) lay theory of decision making. In this paper, we explore whether people from four less-WEIRD (i.e., Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) countries also explicitly endorse the TSAG lay theory, whether individual differences in horizontal/vertical individualist/collectivist mindsets correlate with TSAG endors

This paper examines the reduplication behavior observed in Korean
\nideophones within the framework of Optimality Theory. We argue that
\nthe various effects of reduplication, which can be largely classified into
\ntwo, segmental and templatic variation, are instances of the emergence of
\nthe unmarked (TETU). This means that the more unmarked segmental
\ncontent and the more harmonious syllable template emerge only in the
\nreduplicant through the constraint ranking FAlT

Nowadays, companies are monitoring their employee's behavior using the DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solution to protect their information assets from internal attackers. During the monitoring the behaviors of employees, it is inevitable disclosing the private information to recognize the violation of internal regulation about handling of companies critical information. Actually there is trade-off relationship between privacy protection and data loss protection in company's information management.
