Social capital and educational well-being: a systematic review (2010-2022)
Get PDFSocial capital is evidenced as beneficial to educational achievements and it’s believed as important for students. Recent research of social capital and education moves beyond illustrating the effects of social capital on education achievements to a more comprehensive interrelationship between social capital and different aspects in development of students. To delineate the association between social capital and education in different aspects, this paper aims to systematically review quantitative studies examining the association between social capital and educational well-being. Three questions are of concern here. Question 1: Is there association relationship between social capital and educational well-being? Question 2: How is the association relationship between social capital and educational well-being? Question 3: How can social capital and educational well-being be enhanced by intervention? The study found that social capital is positively associated with educational well-being (in most of the contexts) and they are interrelated. All three types of social capital included in this review (family social capital, school social capital and community social capital), are evidenced positively associated with educational well-being of children directly or/and indirectly. As a result, some recommendations are made to the government in utilizing social capital intervention to enhance educational well-being of students

Nanyang was the chroronym of Ye’s family clan. Wucheng, Huzhou was his domicile of original, and he migrated to Changzhou, Suzhou later. The article also provides Ye’s detailed biographical chronology
The effects of online reviews and promotional messages on product performance : review helpfulness and the power of language
Get PDFThis dissertation contains two essays. For Essay One, previous studies on review helpfulness focus on what makes a review helpful and how to predict review helpfulness. In so doing, researchers hope to identify the most helpful reviews for consumers and improve the recommendation system. However, little is known about the effect of these helpful reviews on product performance. Thus, this paper investigates how helpful reviews or the helpfulness votes influence product sales. Since product sales are only available at the group (product) level, estimating the effect of helpfulness votes presents a challenging multilevel problem. This research considers both the disaggregating (individual) and the aggregating (group) approaches and compares four competing models in their parameter estimates and model fitness. The results suggest that the average number of votes performs the worst while the mean-adjusted model slightly improves predictive power. Among them, the total number of helpfulness votes renders the best predictive performance.
For Essay Two, crowdfunding has become a trendy way to raise funding nowadays. Budding entrepreneurs try to make a convincing pitch to attract potential backers\u27 interest. Existing studies have found that linguistic styles such as the narrative tone, the use of emotional or informational arguments, concreteness, precision, and interactivity are signals of underlying project quality. Nevertheless, this body of research lacks proof of the effect of micro-level linguistic elements on the success of crowdfunding. In this essay, we conduct two studies to investigate the effect of word-level and topic-level linguistic characteristics on crowdfunding outcomes.
In Study One, we adopt a multimethod approach which includes N-gram natural language processing model, penalized logistic regression (PLR), and linguistic analysis to analyze the narratives of projects on Kickstarter. We find that speaking the same language and careful choice of words is critical to the success of crowdfunding. Further, the psychological meanings of the words and phrases associated with the success and failure of crowdfunding Our findings will provide a valuable insight for entrepreneurs to prepare their pitches. In Study Two, we switch our focus from the choice of word to the choice of topic. We use topic entropy to measure the theme complexity for each project pitch and examine how it would affect the probability of crowdfunding success. We find a significant prediction power of the topic entropy, with the lower (higher) the value, the more probability the success (failure) of the project. Among successful projects, certain words and topics that have more positive or negative impacts vary depending on the movie genre.
This essay is one of the first in marketing research to use advanced text analysis to evaluate the effect of micro-level linguistic features on message persuasiveness. In addition, this work has further proved the power of language in effective marketing communications
Investigating the Psychological mechanisms underlying the relationship between parenting stress and mental health among adolescent mothers in Zambia
Get PDFAdolescent motherhood has received insufficient research attention especially in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). It increases physical and mental health burdens and is linked to premature death among young mothers and their children. Past research on adolescent mothers’mental health has mostly been conducted in higher income countries. Moreover, relevant research has predominantly focused on the direct effects of parenting stress on adolescent mothers’ mental health and overlooked possible mediating and moderating processes. The main aim of this research project was to examine the psychological mechanisms in the relationship between parenting stress and mental health among adolescent mothers in Zambia. The project employed a mixed method design and included three studies: A pilot survey study (Study 1), the main survey study (Study 2), and a qualitative study (Study 3). Study 1’s objectives were to test validity and reliability of measures to be used in the main survey. A total of 129 adolescent mothers aged 14 – 19 years (M= 18.08, SD= 1.08) in Lusaka-Zambia completed measures of parenting stress, mental distress (depression, anxiety, stress), positive affect, positive and negative religious coping, rumination, resilience, parental responsibility, and social support. The results supported the psychometric properties of all measures to be used in the main survey. Study 2’s objectives were to test a hypothesized moderated mediation model in which the effects of parenting stress on adolescent mothers’ mental health (positive affect and mental distress) are mediated by positive and negative religious coping and rumination, and whether these indirect effects are moderated by resilience, parental responsibility, and social support. A total of 571 adolescent mothers aged 13 to 19 years (M =18.21, SD = 0.94) in Lusaka-Zambia completed measures that were pilot tested in Study 1. The results of the moderated mediation analysis with structural equation modelling using Mplus indicated that the effects of parenting stress on positive affect and mental distress were fully mediated by positive and negative religious coping and rumination. Additionally, the indirect effect of parenting stress on positive affect via rumination was moderated by parental responsibility. These findings support the protective roles of positive religious coping and parental responsibility in promoting higher positive affect and decreasing mental distress. Study 3’s objectives were to triangulate the findings of the first two studies by examining adolescent mothers’in-depth lived experiences of parenting stress, coping mechanisms, and mental health. A total of 25 adolescent mothers aged 16–19 years (M =18.32, SD = .90) in Lusaka-Zambia were invited for face-to-face interviews. A phenomenological interpretive qualitative design was used. The data were analyzed using thematic content analysis in NVivo 12 plus. The results revealed that social support, religious coping, creativity, optimism, tolerance, and perseverance were resources used to cope with parenting stress, promote positive mental health and decrease mental distress. Taken together, findings from the three studies show that positive religious coping, parental responsibility, social support, creativity, optimism, tolerance, and perseverance play protective roles for adolescent mothers’mental health. The findings offer theoretical, practical, and policy implications for adolescent mothers’mental health especially in LMICs
