Testing normative and self-appraisal feedback in an online slot-machine pop-up in a real-world setting
No full textOver the last few years, there have been an increasing number of gaming operators that have incorporated on-screen pop-up messages while gamblers play on slot machines and/or online as one of a range of tools to help encourage responsible gambling. Coupled with this, there has also been an increase in empirical research into whether such pop-up messages are effective, particularly in laboratory settings. However, very few studies have been conducted on the utility of pop-up messages in real-world gambling settings. The present study investigated the effects of normative and self-appraisal feedback in a slot machine pop-up message compared to a simple (non-enhanced) pop-up message. The study was conducted in a real-world gambling environment by comparing the behavioral tracking data of two representative random samples of 800,000 gambling sessions (i.e., 1.6 million sessions in total) across two conditions (i.e., simple pop-up message versus an enhanced pop-up message). The results indicated that the additional normative and self-appraisal content doubled the number of gamblers who stopped playing after they received the enhanced pop-up message (1.39%) compared to the simple pop-up message (0.67%). The data suggest that pop-up messages influence only a small number of gamblers to cease long playing sessions and that enhanced messages are slightly more effective in helping gamblers to stop playing in-session
A K-Pop fejlődése és hatása
No full textA szakdolgozatom témája a K-Pop fejlődése és hatása. Három fő részre osztottam, hogy miről fogok írni. Az első rész egy rövid bevezető. A második részből a K-pop hatásáról írok. Nem csak a K-pop hatása van, hanem a szubkultúrák hatása is a tizenévesekre. Továbbá egy rövid bevezető arról, hogy mik azok a szubkultúrák. Ezután következik az utolsó nagyobb rész. Ez a K-pop fejlődéséről szól. Kezdve a K-pop kezdeteitől egészen napjainkig. És a K-pop ikonikus alakjairól. Szintén ennek az ikonikus figurának a fejlődéséről írnak. Végül egy rövid összefoglaló van.BSc/BAMagyar (BA)L
System identification in priming of pop-out
No full textInter-trial repetitions of a target's features in a visual search task reduce the time needed to find the target. Here I examine these sequential dependencies in the Priming of Pop-Out task (PoP) by means of system identification techniques. The results are as follows. Response time facilitation due to repetition of the target's features increases linearly with difficulty in segmenting the target from the distracters. However, z-scoring the reaction times normalizes responses by equating facilitation across levels of difficulty. Memory kernels, representing the influence of the current trial on any future trial, can then be calculated from data normalized and averaged across conditions and observers. The average target-defining feature kernel and the target position kernel are well fit by a sum of two exponentials model, comprised of a high-gain, fast-decay component and a low-gain, slow-decay component. In contrast, the average response-defining feature kernel is well fit by a single exponential model with very low-gain and decay similar to the slow component of the target-defining feature kernel. Analysis of single participant's data reveals that a fast-decay component is often also present for the response-defining feature, but can be either facilitatory or inhibitory and thus tends to cancel out in pooled data. Overall, the results are similar to integration functions of reward history recently observed in primates during frequency-matching experiments. I speculate that sequential dependencies in POP result from learning mechanisms that bias the attentional weighting of certain aspects of the stimulus in an effort to minimize a prediction error signal
O POP-MANAGEMENT E A LEITURA COMO DIFERENCIAL NA FORMAÇÃO DO GESTOR
No full textA leitura é dos mais valorosos fatores de formação e desenvolvimento de indivíduos, e a literatura pop-management acaba sendo a forma mais fácil e rápida do leitor encontrar teorias, técnicas e metodologias de gestão, devido a sua linguagem de fácil entendimento. Porém percebe-se um distanciamento no interesse da leitura por parte dos alunos em sala de aula, o que pode influenciar no seu processo de formação futura. Assim o principal objetivo deste estudo é entender se o ato da leitura pode vir a ser um diferencial na formação do aluno como futuro gestor. O estudo foi realizado com alunos do curso superior em Tecnologia em Logística da UFT, utilizando-se de pesquisa bibliográfica, descritiva, pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa através de um questionário semiestruturado. Os resultados encontrados demonstram baixo índice de leitura dos acadêmicos, no entanto eles veem a leitura como um diferencial na formação profissional
Yrityskuva Lapuan POP Pankki
No full textOpinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli selvittää Lapuan POP Pankin yrityskuva lapualaisten yrittäjien näkökulmasta. Opinnäytetyön ensimmäisenä tavoitteena oli perehtyä asiakaskokemukseen. Toisena tavoitteena syventyä yrityskuvan muodostumiseen, merkitykseen ja tutkimiseen. Kolmantena tavoitteena oli toteuttaa yrityskuvatutkimus Lapuan POP Pankin yritysasiakkaille ja potentiaalisille yritysasiakkaille.
Opinnäytetyön tutkimusosuudessa haluttiin kysymysten avulla selvittää, millaisena yrittäjät pitävät Lapuan POP Pankkia, mitkä syyt vaikuttivat kyseisen tai toisen pankin valintaan sekä toivoisivatko yrittäjät pankkipalveluilta vielä enemmän. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin kvalitatiivista otetta. Aineistonkeruu suoritettiin haastattelemalla kahdeksaa yrittäjää, joista viisi oli pankin yritysasiakkaita ja kolme potentiaalisia yritysasiakkaita. Haastattelut toteutettiin marraskuussa 2018.
Tutkimustulosten perusteella Lapuan POP Pankin yrityskuva on erittäin positiivinen. Pankkia pidetään luotettavana paikallisena pankkina, jonka henkilökunta tekee pankistansa ainutlaatuisen asiantuntevalla asiakaspalvelullaan. Kehittämiskohteita kuitenkin löydettiin markkinoinnin ja kansainvälisyyden suhteen. Tärkeimmäksi positiiviseen yrityskuvaan vaikuttavaksi tekijäksi nostettiin juurikin pankin henkilökunta. Tutkimuksen avulla toimeksiantajayritys sai myös selville, minkälaisia mielikuvia pankin potentiaalisilla yritysasiakkailla on.The aim of the thesis was to study the corporate image of POP Pankki Lapua from the perspective of corporate customers. The first goal of this thesis was to become familiar with customer experience. The second goal was to focus on the formation of the corporate image, its importance for business, and the ways to research it. The third aim was to carry out a corporate image survey among POP Pankki Lapua’s existing and potential corporate customers.
The empirical section of the thesis included research questions related to issues such as how the customers found POP Pankki Lapua’s current reputation, the reasons for the choice of this particular bank or another one, and the features the corporate customers wanted from banking services. A qualitative research approach was used in the study. Data collection was conducted through a survey by interviewing eight corporate customers, five of whom were existing and three potential customers. The interviews took place in November 2018.
Based on the study, POP Pankki Lapua’s corporate image is highly positive. The bank is regarded as a trustworthy local bank, whose staff makes the bank unique by its professional customer service skills. Yet, some targets for development were found, such as marketing and internationalization. The most important factor of the positive corporate image is, however, the bank’s staff. The results also show what potential corporate customers think about the bank
What pops out in positional priming of pop-out: insights from event-related EEG lateralizations
No full textIt is well established that, in visual pop-out search, reaction time (RT) performance is influenced by cross-trial repetitions versus changes of target-defining attributes. One instance of this is referred to as “positional priming of pop-out” (pPoP; Maljkovic and Nakayama, 1996). In positional PoP paradigms, the processing of the current target is examined depending on whether it occurs at the previous target or a previous distractor location, relative to a previously empty location (“neutral” baseline), permitting target facilitation and distractor inhibition to be dissociated. The present study combined RT measures with specific sensory- and motor-driven event-related lateralizations to track the time course of four distinct processing levels as a function of the target’s position across consecutive trials. The results showed that, relative to targets at previous target and “neutral” locations, the appearance of a target at a previous distractor location was associated with a delayed build-up of the posterior contralateral negativity wave, indicating that distractor positions are suppressed at early stages of visual processing. By contrast, presentation of a target at a previous target, relative to “neutral” and distractor locations, modulated the elicitation of the subsequent stimulus-locked lateralized readiness potential wave, indicating that post-selective response selection is facilitated if the target occurred at the same position as on the previous trial. Overall, the results of present study provide electrophysiological evidence for the idea that target location priming (RT benefits) does not originate from an enhanced coding of target saliency at repeated (target) locations; instead, they arise (near-) exclusively from processing levels subsequent to focal-attentional target selection
