Download or read book Two Essays on Repeated Number Digits in Product Evaluation written by Jintao Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical information is abundant and plays a crucial role in consumers' purchasing decisions. Factors such as price, units, discounts, warranties, calories, and duration significantly impact product evaluations and choices by conveying numerical data. This dissertation explores the influence of a specific type of numerical information--repeated number digits--on consumers' judgments and decision-making. Essay 1 examines the effect of repeating digits on the perceptions of price and product information in a price bundle. When providing a price bundling promotion, price digits that are the same as bundle quantity (e.g., 2 for $22.22) would increase consumers' liking of the price and intentions to purchase the bundle. Fluency serves as the underlying mechanism of this effect as the easier it is to calculate the unit price and process the numerical information for a price bundling promotion, the higher consumers' liking of the price and intentions to purchase the bundle. Moreover, an individual characteristic shown to influence consumers' purchase decisions involving prices i.e., math anxiety is examined for its moderation effects when processing repeated digits in a price bundle. Essay 2 further digs into the underlying mechanism in a single product or service context, where digits in product descriptions and also repeated in price information (e.g., 2-year warranty, 2 color choices, 2-day delivery, at $22.22). This essay examines the effect of repeating digits on consumers' product evaluations, with repeating digits (vs. unrepeating number digits) increasing the liking of the price and higher purchase intentions. This effect is explained to be a result of 1) increased conceptual fluency when number digits are repeated in price information only and 2) increased perceptual fluency when digits are repeated in both product descriptions and price information. Similar results are observed in different product categories and purchase contexts with one important moderator, consumer persuasion knowledge, which attenuates the effect of repeating digits. I conclude my dissertation with managerial implications and future opportunities.

Download or read book Classroom Assessment written by Lorin W. Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-02-26 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the belief that decision making is perhaps the most critical of all teaching skills and that good assessments lie at the core of good decision making. To become better teachers then, teachers must learn to make informed decisions about both individual students (learning decisions) and about groups of students (teaching decisions). This book gives equal status to both types of decisions and shows how assessment is integral to both. The organization of the book is sequential, mirroring the way in which information should be used to make decisions. It begins with a conceptual framework linking information to decision making, then moves to the design of assessment instruments and the collection of assessment information, then to the interpretation of assessment information and, finally, to reporting the results of both the assessment and the decision-making process. There is an emphasis throughout on linking why teachers assess with what and how they assess. Other key features include: * Practical Framework -- The book's framework corresponds to the framework that teachers use to grade their students: conduct (classroom behavior), effort (student motivation), and achievement (student learning). * Unique Chapters -- There are separate chapters on interpreting assessment information prior to decision making and on reporting assessment information to parents, teachers, and administrators. * Flexibility -- Because of its modest length and price, and its practical focus on the links between assessment and everyday teacher decision making, this text can be used either in full-length assessment courses for teachers or to teach the assessment units in educational psychology or integrated methods courses.

This book is also a valuable resource for graduate students and academicians in the social sciences who are coping with the rapidly increasing emphasis on quantitative methods that, to be understood, require more familiarity with mathematical underpinnings than are typically a part of the academic background of many individuals in these fields." --Dennis W. Roncek, University of Nebraska, Omaha "This is a highly readable, accessible, reference source, the product of a huge amount of labor, obviously." --Hoben Thomas, The Pennsylvania State University Have you ever suddenly become stuck and not remembered how to divide a fraction or turn a fraction into a percentage? Or, have you taken a graduate statistics course and discovered that you can′t remember any of the terminology or techniques from a calculus course you took years ago? If either of these scenarios sounds familiar, then this book will provide you with the quick and easy review that you need. This reference book has math topics ranging from arithmetic through calculus arranged alphabetically by topic. Each topic is provided with a definition, explanation, and an example or two of how to solve a particular problem using the topic′s technique. Depending on the degree of difficulty of the topic, this material is covered in one or two paragraphs to several pages. To further facilitate learning, the topics are cross-referenced so that the reader can backtrack to easier topics if the current one is too difficult. This book is a "mathematics tutor-in-a-book" and provides a reliable reference for any researcher or manager who works with numbers or needs a review of mathematical concepts.

Download or read book Team Based Learning for Health Professions Education written by Larry K. Michaelsen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education in the health professions is placing greater emphasis on “active” learning–learning that requires applying knowledge to authentic problems; and that teaches students to engage in the kind of collaboration that is expected in today’s clinical practice. Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a strategy that accomplishes these goals. It transforms passive, lecture-based coursework into an environment that promotes more self-directed learning and teamwork, and makes the classroom come “alive.”This book is an introduction to TBL for health profession educators. It outlines the theory, structure, and process of TBL, explains how TBL promotes problem solving and critical thinking skills, aligns with the goals of science and health courses, improves knowledge retention and application, and develops students as professional practitioners. The book provides readers with models and guidance on everything they need to know about team formation and maintenance; peer feedback and evaluation processes, and facilitation; and includes a directory of tools and resources.The book includes chapters in which instructors describe how they apply TBL in their courses. The examples range across undergraduate science courses, basic and clinical sciences courses in medical, sports medicine and nursing education, residencies, and graduate nursing programs. The book concludes with a review and critique of the current scholarship on TBL in the health professions, and charts the needs for future research.
