I experience some difficulty in commenting on this paper, because Hintikka has approached intentional concepts in a manner so different from my own. He has, for instance, connected the directedness of a conscious intention with something purposive, since one of the common meanings of ‘direction’, as is the ordinary sense of ‘intention’, is undoubtedly connected with purpose. To what are all these acts and utterances directed?’ often means ‘What are you trying to achieve by these acts and utterances?’ Now I would be infinitely far from denying that all conscious intentions are pervaded by purpose: to have something before us as the object of our awareness is certainly to try to keep it in consciousness, to try to envisage it from various aspects, to try to see it in varying contexts, some actual and possible, to compare it with other possibilities, and finally to imagine or perceive it rather than merely to think of it. But the purposive conation which inspires and sustains conscious intentionality is distinct from the conscious intentionality that it sustains : the former is consummated only in a sequence of conscious intentions, the latter is whole and complete in each conscious intention. Conscious intentionality is simply the ‘thereness’ or Vorhandenheit of something for consciousness: though it is sustained by purpose, it is in itself utterly disparate from anything purposive or conative. It is the unique givenness of something to consciousness, its appearance in the light of consciousness, and this is the same whether what is thus apparent is perceived or thought of. The possible criminality of the Empress Agrippina may be as much vorhanden to consciousness as the telephone on my desk. I do not know whether Hintikka clearly differentiates this kind of pure cognitive appearance in his experience: it has eluded many, as for instance Heidegger. I think, however, that it is basic to the understanding of intentionality.

This position paper provides a framework to test positive and negative emotional contagion between agile teams for producing mission critical systems in order to enhance agile teams' cooperativeness and performance, lower conflicts, and to make decisions more accurate. Due to human errors in analyzing, designing, implementing, and testing phases for producing mission critical systems, losses and risks are significantly higher than other systems; while the adoption of agile development processes in mission critical systems has shown promising results of minimizing risks and costs. However, agile processes are people-oriented where human error is the main contributor to the success or failure of the system. Within the software industry, studies have investigated developers' conation and cognition to enhance their performance and communication within teams, while the role of affect (emotions and moods) was neglected for decades. Emotional contagion, as a factor of affect influence, has only been tested in studies at the managerial decision-making level; while no evidence of such studies that investigate whether or not the emotional contagion influences behavioural groups in agile developments which is the main concern of this paper.

Learning strategies (cognition), emotion (affection) and conation are suggested as important elements of success for engineering students. Identifying student learning profile may help improve successful rate in engineering program. An instrument that can be used for reliably assessing the cognitive- affective-conative profile of students is needed. This paper report the development and initial testing of the questionnaire (CACQ). Quantitative procedures were used. The set of questionnaire was distributed to 207 final year engineering students after being reviewed by four experts. Each of the constructs reached a good reliability value. Strong and positive correlations were established between learning strategy, emotion, conation and achievement motivation measures. The strength of correlations between the constructs also provides an indicator to the unidimensionality of the constructs. This new questionnaire is a promising measure for assessing the cognitive, affective and conative profile of engineering students.

Background: Game‐based learning can frame problem‐solving as a sense‐making experience with domain‐specific tasks for school students. However, multiple challenges arise when trying to support learners in such a complex, problem‐oriented learning environment. Objectives and Methods: With an architecture‐themed mathematics learning game, we conducted two mixed‐method studies to explore the impact and design of game‐based mathematical experience on the math problem‐solving performance of middle school students. Results and Conclusions: The study findings suggested a positive impact of game‐based math experience on math problem‐solving for middle school students. Problematization‐oriented game‐based math tasks with structuring features enhanced students' reasoning with problems and channelled it to doing mathematics. Takeaways: The current research findings support the initiative to frame learning as a sense‐making experience with domain‐specific tasks and inform the design of game‐based mathematical experience and learning support. Lay Description: What is already known about this topic: Realistic mathematical practices frame learning as a sense‐making experience.Challenges arise when involving learners in realistic mathematical experiences driven by domain‐specific tasks. What this paper adds: Game‐based simulation of math tasks framed learning as sense‐making experience.Game‐based math experiencing promoted math contextual problem‐solving performance.Structuring features enhanced problematized experiencing with math tasks. Implications for practice and/or policy: Teachers can integrate and facilitate game‐based math experiencing in class.Efforts should be made to make game‐based math tasks meaningful for students.

SOFT skills ,SOCIAL skills - Abstract
The distinction between hard and soft skills has long been a topic of debate in the field of psychology, with hard skills referring to technical or practical abilities, and soft skills relating to interpersonal capabilities. This paper explores the generic composition of any skill, proposing a unified framework that consists of five distinct components: knowledge, active cognition, conation, affection, and sensory-motor abilities. Building upon previous research and theories, such as Hilgard's "Trilogy of Mind", the generic skill components approach aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure and composition of any skill, whether hard or soft. By examining these components and their interactions, we can gain a more in-depth understanding of the nature of skills and their development. This approach has several potential applications and implications for various fields, including education, training, and workplace productivity. Further research is needed to refine and expand upon the generic skill components theory, exploring the interactions between the different components, as well as the impact of contextual factors on skill development and use.

Almost the entirety of research on effort in clinical neuropsychology has focused on negative aspects of effort in neuropsychological assessment, with most work over the last 20 years emphasizing feigned cognitive impairment. In contrast, few studies have explored trait-level positive influences on motivation and engagement in regard to neuropsychological testing. This paper reviews potential constructs associated with positive aspects of effort in neuropsychological testing, including conation, grit, Need for Cognition, and personality factors from the Five Factor Model of personality (Big Five). Findings are discussed from a positive neuropsychological framework, with an emphasis on positive effort being conceptualized as perseverance and resiliency in cognitively demanding testing situations. Challenges for the field are discussed, and we offer suggestions for conceptualizing effort on a continuum and recommendations for future research directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

OLYMPIC Games ,NATIONALISM ,SOCIOLOGY of sports - Abstract
In 2008, the Olympic Games were held in Beijing, capital city of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). As Special Administrative Regions (SARs) of China, Hong Kong and Macao, despite existing as separate sporting entities under the principle of ‘One Country, Two Systems’, were surprisingly enthused with what Chinese people called an Olympic nationalism. Using a cognitive–affective–conative attitude framework, this paper examines how secondary school students (n=1391) in the two SARs constructed ‘imagined communities’ through their attitudes toward the Beijing Olympics. The average mean scores and Cohen’s Effect Size (d) were calculated between the two groups of students to reveal similarities and differences. The study concludes that, regardless of three different flags under one country, Hong Kong and Macao shared the Olympic spirit and nationalist sentiment with the rest of the Chinese in the motherland. Internal competition within the Chinese community did not necessarily exacerbate division and, indeed, resisted transcending the two systems in a one nation approach. On the contrary, the profound Chinese culture displayed throughout the Games and an appreciation of international solidarity united students in the two regions and provided a watershed in their understanding of their Chinese identity.

responses diversity ,cognition ,affection ,conation ,response discrete ,Mathematics ,QA1-939 - Abstract
In social research, respondents are usually given several questions or indicators for assessment. Responses between respondents may differ even if the same questions or indicators are given. This is one of the causes of the diversity of responses. The diversity of responses is one of the factors that cause response bias in conducting social research. The diversity of responses can come from differences in the thought processes of each respondent. There are three main aspects in the thought process, namely cognition, affection, and conation. This paper aims to analyze the source of the diversity of responses in the aspects of cognition, affection, and conation. The first thing to do in this research is to design a questionnaire by developing indicators into three aspects (cognition, affection, and conation). The study involved 100 respondents using OVO with a purposive sampling method. Respondents assess indicators of aspects of cognition, affection, and conation. The assessment options given are discrete assessments 1-5 with a description of the assessment adjusted to the indicators. Then, the respondent's assessment data were analyzed by calculating the standard deviation, analysis of variance, further test (Tukey HSD) and the distribution of the assessment of each indicator. The main result obtained is that there are three consecutive indicators with the largest standard deviation values in each aspect. These indicators are the source of the diversity of responses in aspects of cognition, affection, and conation. The results of the analysis also show that the conation aspect is the most diverse aspect with the largest standard deviation value. This research is useful as a reference for making social research questionnaires in measuring aspects related to cognition, affection, and conation.

- Abstract
In order to face turbulences inherent to modern society, sport tourism nonprofits may rely on a better understanding of typologies at the organizational and network levels in order to guide organizational changes. In this paper, we argue that, although the theoretical justifications and practical implications of Mintzberg's and Greiner's typologies may differ, the ideal-types proposed by the authors reveal similar impetuses or conations. The reflection leads to the idea of conative change, studied from seasonal and multi-level perspectives, in the context of a cluster of sport tourism non-profits. The variety of organizational levels is used to discuss the role of agency in the emergence of the ideal-type while the seasonality of the demand is used to discuss the role of the factors of contingency. This case study reveals four observed types of organization which allowed us to discuss our working hypotheses and propositions. In addition to the theoretical discussions surrounding the concepts, the results encourage leaders to use the typologies as a guide to anticipate and react to critical crises requiring organizational changes in sport tourism non-profits.

It is an essential prerequisite to design for motivation in game-based learning applications, tools and activities. However, how is it possible to design and evaluate motivational game-based learning scenarios in a systematic processoriented manner based on conation and player engagement? While conation is related to the perseverance, determination and tenacity players exhibit when playing an interesting game, player engagement describes in detail what it is that causes a player to keep playing - Not only through fun and gamification drivers such as points and levels, but by utilizing triggers of 'continuation desire' such as interfacing with the scenario, exploration and socialising. This paper aims to combine the concepts of Player Engagement, Conation and Continuation Desire by focusing on the conative aspects which are the essential drivers for the desire to continue any learning activity. These concepts will then be utilized to introduce the foundation of a framework consisting of three stages: initiation, exploration and captivation. The stages are intended to sustain the learners' conation beyond gamification and the framework may thus be helpful in the design and evaluation of conative game-based learning scenarios.

Although billed as a 'crime TV drama', the Netflix series Unbelievable (2019) is more of a docu-drama. The correspondence between fact and fiction creates a powerful empathic relationship with audiences, the nature of which is comprehensible through how this film, alongside more traditional format documentaries on the online platform, engages 'the real' through representing bodies and actions that manifest cinematically in 'the aesthetics of the frame'. What can be described as the occurrency of these manifestations is found both in a present- and past-oriented description of material facts, whether actual or imagined, and a future-oriented sense of becoming that derives from a relationship that docu-subjects and characters have with potentiality in the progression of the story. Some films describe what people do or have done, while others write docu-subjects and characters as people who have a view to the future. This takes the form of both an objective sense of agency qua freedom and autonomy and a subjective sense of psychodynamic potential formed by representations of their conative orientations towards a future. The sense of possibility that emerges reflects a more nuanced and subjectivized sense of becoming than explained by Ilona Hongisto as constituted by the generation of 'imagination', 'fabulation' and 'affection'.

PurposeAlthough the role of reflections in entrepreneurship education is undeniable, the research has focused mainly on their advantages and consequences for learning process, whereas their dynamics and interrelations with other mental processes remain unexplored. The purpose of this paper is to better understand how personality and intelligence constructs: cognition, conation, and affection evolve and change along the learning process during entrepreneurship education.Design/methodology/approachTo better understand reflective processes in entrepreneurial learning this paper adopts the tripartite constructs of personality and intelligence. By employing longitudinal explorative research approach and self-organizing map (SOM) algorithm, the authors follow students’ reflections during their two-year learning processes. First, the authors try to identify how the interplay between the cognitive, conative, and affective aspects emerges in students’ reflections. Then, the authors investigate how this interplay evolves during the individual learning process and finally, by looking for similarities in these learning pathways, the authors aim to identify patterns of students’ reflective learning process.FindingsAll constructs are present during the learning process and all are prone to change. The individual constructs alone shed no light on the interplay between different constructs, but rather that the interplay between sub-constructs should be taken into consideration as well. This seems to be particularly true for cognition, as procedural and declarative knowledge have very different profiles. Procedural knowledge emerges together with emotions, motivation, and volition, whereas the profile of declarative knowledge is individual. The unique profile of declarative knowledge in students’ reflections is an important finding as declarative knowledge is regarded as the center of current pedagogic practices.Research limitations/implicationsThe study broadens the understanding of reflective practices in the entrepreneurial learning process and the interplay between affective, cognitive, and conative sub-constructs and reflective practices in entrepreneurship education. The findings clearly indicate the need for further research on the interplay between sub-constructs and students’ reflection profiles. The authors see the study as an attempt to apply an exploratory statistical method for the problem in question.Practical implicationsThe results are able to advise pedagogy. Practical implications concern the need to develop reflective practises in entrepreneurial learning interventions to enhance all three meta-competencies, even though there are so far no irrefutable findings to indicate that some types of reflection may be better than others.Originality/valueThe results of the analysis indicate that it is possible to study the complex and dynamic interplay between sub-constructs of cognitive, conative and affective constructs. Moreover, the research succeeded in identifying both individual variations and general reflection patterns and changes in these during the learning process. This was possible by adopting a longitudinal explorative research approach with SOM analyses.

CONSTRUCTION planning ,SHAME ,TAXONOMY ,ELEPHANTS ,EMOTIONS - Abstract
The holy grail of emotion theory is arguably still the discovery of a taxonomy, but one that is predicated on first establishing a corresponding structure of affect. Plans for the construction of a taxonomy are presented, based on the emotions and supported with the tripartite mind. A two-axis circumplex-like framework forms the proposed structure. The fundamental orthogonal axes are a temporal vertical axis and a spatial horizontal axis, which subsume another five essential opposing and complementary properties that underpin affect. These dimensions create four basic states that categorize affect and account for the differences and similarities between emotions within categories. A binomial labeling method posits the view that the valence of emotions is determined by the valence of the category they emanate from. The Euclidian spaces created account for mixed emotions and conditions and show how basic emotions from different categories create complex emotions and conditions. This model will also explore why some emotions like shame-embarrassment and contempt-disgust are often seen as synonyms due to a categorical error. It also provides an exposition of the function of reactive and self-reflective emotions and anxiety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article argues that futures studies practice must have relevance and meaning for society and organizations—that is, it should be affective—and that it should be evaluated as such. Evaluation should be process-based, specifically by observing the way futures studies as a profession is managed and interacts with society. Within this context, "evaluation" is defined as merit determination through process review, using as central norm the raison d'être for futures studies, namely, it must enhance better long-term decision making in organizations and in society. Affectiveness is an emergent quality. Emergence is a property that a whole (such as the subject area of futures studies) displays which is not apparent in its parts. In other words, it is a property that emerges from the interactions between the parts of the whole. With this in mind, futures studies can be visualized as an "application system" comprising of various specialized subsystems such as conceptual development, methodological development, scanning and trend research, scenario development, and idealized planning. The article defends and proposes a process-based approach to the evaluation of affectiveness: one that is based on a heuristic learning and dialogue design in the practice of futures studies. The quest for affectiveness is a journey toward an ideal, perhaps never to be reached but forever a guide toward improving the relevance and meaning of an important profession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Campus life is very important for the undergraduate students during their experience. This study explores the undergraduate students–campus relationship in University Sains Malaysia (USM). Using questionnaire survey to 114 respondents and applying SPSS to analyze, the students’ sense of place to campus with three constructs of place dependence, place attachment and place identity is presented. The international and local students’ place identity varied significantly while their place dependence and place attachment showed no significant difference. The students’ sense of place in the three constructs varied significantly by different races. Based on the results in this study and relative literature, this paper proposes that place identity may represent a higher hierarchy of people – place relationship than place dependence and place attachment. KEYWORD: Sense of place; Campus; Place dependence; Place attachment; Place identity International Conference on Social Science, Education Management and Sports Education (SSEMSE 2015) © 2015. The authors Published by Atlantis Press 184 Place attachment refers to the emotional bonds people develop with places. It “is the emotional link formed by an individual to a physical site that has been given meaning through interaction” (Milligan, 1998, p. 2). It “involves an interplay of affect and emotions, knowledge and beliefs, and behaviors and actions in reference to a place” (Altman & Low, 1992, p. 5). In the seminal paper: The City and Self-Identity, Proshansky (1978) defines place identity as “those dimensions of self that define the individual’s personal identity in relation to the physical environment by means of a complex pattern of conscious and unconscious ideas, beliefs, preferences, feelings, values, goals, and behavioral tendencies and skills relevant to this environment” (p. 155). Jorgensen and Stedman (2001) explore the foundation of sense of place with three dimensions (place attachment, place identity and place dependence) equating with component of attitudes (affect, cognition, and conation). “Place attachment is equated with the affective (or emotional) component of attitude; place identity as the cognitive domain whereby a place is part of the social actor’s sense of self; and, place dependence represents the conative domain of attitude in which the dependence expressed for one’s setting is relative to the behaviors performed there” (p. 237). Scholars point out that the people and place have to be put in a specific context if he want to deeply comprehend and present the people-place relationships. In this paper, the research objective is to investigate the undergraduate students’ sense of place to the campus of USM.

The present study was carried out to assess the contribution value of ethical integrity in escalation of academic integrity among university students. A total number of 302 students from public sector universities of Islamabad participated as sample of study. Mean, Standard deviation, Regression, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H tests were applied for statistical analysis. Students were found to have moderate levels of both ethical and academic integrity. Ethical integrity had significant positive contribution in escalating academic integrity. Ethical integrity contributed in decreasing the frequency and severity of various dishonest academic behaviors including plagiarism and cheating among students. There was no significant difference in ethical integrity of male and female students. There was a substantial difference in academic integrity of male and female students as frequency of plagiarism, cheating and fabrication was found higher in males; and female students had more awareness of academic unethical behaviors. Results also indicated that students who had GPA between 3.1-3.5 were more aware of the severity of various plagiaristic behaviors. It is recommended that students may be given more awareness about academic integrity through orientation, seminars and workshops. The educational institutions may communicate the message of zero tolerance for the academic dishonesty, and strictly implement policies for reducing academic misconducts among students.

The focus of this paper lies on how mixed methods can be triangulated for exploring end-users' e-learning experiences from several perspectives in order to learn about the how and why of their e-learning process targeting conative constructs and self-regulation of e-learners.The empirical study was conducted at a media laboratory for content testing. Mixed methods were used to collect data and triangulated in the analyses. Methods used were questionnaires, eye tracking, screen recordings, observation, and a stimulated instant recall (SIR) interview.Different phases of analyses are described in the paper emphasizing how methods and data can be triangulated in order to create an authentic picture of e-learning experiences. The study is still work in progress intending to explore how theories of motivation and self-regulation are applicable to e-learning contexts, and how this can be used in further studies on how to evaluate e-learning environments with special focus on the link between user experience and learning.

Purpose All previous research seldom considered the proliferation process from the perspective of consumers or from a negative perspective to examine the desire for revenge and negative word of mouth (WOM) caused by deficiencies in innovative products. The purpose of this paper is to investigate consumers’ subsequent behaviors after they have outward and inward negative emotions such as anger and regret. The objective of this study is to explore the different effects of customers’ anger and regret on desire for revenge and negative WOM. Design/methodology/approach This research uses structural equation modeling to analyze 226 samples. Findings The results showed that regret has significant and positive effects on desire for revenge and negative WOM but anger has only a significant and positive effect on desire for revenge. Moreover, desire for revenge has a significant and positive effect on negative WOM. In addition, the desire for revenge plays a crucial mediator between anger and negative WOM as well as regret and negative WOM. Practical implications Corporations can use tangled emotions among consumers to predict the development of the desire for revenge and immediately implement remedies for deficiencies to prevent consumers from developing the desire for revenge and spreading negative WOM regarding the corporation or product, or engaging in other revenge behaviors. Corporations can easily detect and prevent the path between anger and revenge behaviors simply based on the desire for revenge. In contrast to the outward negative behavior that is anger, regret is implicit and internal. Originality/value This study explored two negative emotions of affect (anger and regret) based on affection and conation/action of the tricomponent attitude model and their different effects on consumers’ revenge behaviors such as desire for revenge and negative WOM. The contributions of this research are to clarify the different relationships between outward negative emotion (anger) and desire for revenge/negative WOM as well as inward negative emotion (regret) and desire for revenge/negative WOM.

- Abstract
We use the psycholinguistic content analysis methods to investigate how new CEOs' psychological factors influence the post succession strategic changes (PSSC) of firms in the FTSE all share index. Taking the trilogy of mind perspective, on top of cognition, we advocate that new CEOs' emotion and conation serve as the impetus for the PSSC. By tracing the identical new CEOs over years after their succession in a non-experimental field study, empirical results of this longitudinal study demonstrate that those intra-individual psychological (time-varying) factors of new CEOs are important for the PSSC. New CEOs' future focus attention (FFA), commitment to change (C2C) will significantly increase the PSSC and new CEOs' negative emotion (NE) will significantly reduce the PSSC. The paper claims that incorporating more comprehensive factors in new CEOs' trilogy of mind can help us get a better picture for the mechanism behind PSSC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many studies in user acceptance of information technology focus on areas such as email or word processing without considering alternatives products. This study proposes a model drawn from the technology acceptance model and extended competitive vulnerability model to examine the cognition, affection and conation of competing products. We hypothesize that cognition and affection of one product have negative effects on the competing product, affectively and conatively. This study looks into competing information technology products in the context of two instant messaging technologies. Based on a survey of 300 instant messaging users, the result shows support for the hypotheses. Understanding user cognition and affection for alternative products can help to explain behavior intention. This study contributes to an approach of bringing competition elements into user acceptance research. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Prior research suggests and reveals that there is a correlation between human emotional responses and the subjective qualities of digital interactive experiences. Using facial analysis done by deep neural networks presents a true non-intrusive way of measuring emotional responses and engagement assessed as the desire to continue playing. This paper proposes a tool to measure emotional responses across eight different emotions and in real time of any game. The emotional recognition system achieves an accuracy of 98% and the continuation desire system achieves 93.3% accuracy in a pilot test with a two player game and 78.5% accuracy in a single player game. This forms a strong tool that shows a correlation between emotions and the continuation desire of a player, which can be used to evaluate engagement in games and digital interactive experiences, e.g. in critical stages of development of said content.

This paper aimed to explore the interpretation of the story of Thalut in QS. al-Baqarah: 246-251 using the semi-narrative theory of A.J. Greimas as an analytical tool. This structural theory is expected to explore the structure text of the text of the Qur’an. In addition, the narrative semiotics theory also opens up a new understanding of the text by looking at the inner structure and inner structure of the text. This understanding is not new, but it is able to bring meaning that is slightly diverse than most. The findings of the authors obtain that the story of Thalut in the Qur’an at least contains two structures of the narrative meaning of the text, namely the birth and the mind. The understanding gained from the textual structure of the narrative text is the existence of segments that describe how the Thalut struggle to save people from religious, socio-political and even moral crisis with the support of prayer, belief and knowledge. However, he is hindered by his hesitant and arrogant nature. As we know from the inner structure of the text, the story of Thalut in QS. Al-Baqarah: 246-251 shows how the verse describes the spirit of a person in reaching a business which in psychology studies is known also with the phenomenon of will (conation). In addition, the author sees the existence of other elements such as cultural inheritance (cultural transfered) that occurred in the Children of Israel. With the theory of narrative semiotics, the text of the Qur’an becomes more broadly meaningful and not only fixated on textual understanding.

Conation is action derived from instinct, purposeful mode of striving, volition. It is a conscious effort to carry out self-determined acts and, as such, may result in the same goal being approached by different individuals through the use of different actions. It is a critical, yet neglected aspect of the "tripartite" human mind, which is composed of cognitive, affective, and conative elements. Because most social workers are not familiar with the concept, client behavior that represents action toward a goal might not be understood or might be misunderstood. A true strengths-based approach to social work requires this understanding. The authors use case studies to describe conation and to demonstrate its applicability. They present examples of how clients' and social workers' conative ability are important to the assessment and intervention process and describe implications for research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of Chinese youth’s attention to and involvement with Chinese soccer and its professional league, the Chinese Super League (CSL), on their level of satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach A survey study was employed to test the hypotheses. Research participants (n=948) were students from five major universities that represented each of the five main geographic regions of China. Data were randomly assigned into two halves: one half for CFA (n=474) and the other half for structural equation modeling (SEM) (n=474). Mplus 7.0 was used to conduct both the CFA and SEM. Findings The findings of this study indicated an overall lack of attention to and involvement with Chinese soccer and CSL among Chinese youths. Discussions have been presented on the causes of the lack of youth passion for Chinese soccer and suggestions have been articulated to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of policy formulation, business operation and marketing strategy. Originality/value The present study built on the extant sport management literature, demonstrated the complexity of consumers’ cognition and conation in the professional soccer setting, and revealed counter-intuitive relationship between attitudinal traits and behavioral patterns, which in turn provided unique insights for Chinese professional soccer marketers, managers and administrators.

Abstract: Conation, or the ability to apply one''s abilities purposefully, persistently and effectively as required by the task at hand, has been considered historically to be an important element of psychology, but has been relatively neglected in clinical neuropsychology. Nevertheless, conation may well be a significant missing variable in predicting a person''s success in practical situations based on neuropsychological test scores. This study listed 19 tests from the Halstead-Reitan battery in order of their predicted dependence on conation. Differences between a brain-damaged group and a control group were determined through computation of t-ratios. The rank-ordering of the 19 tests according to their requirement of conation and the magnitude of the t-ratios were closely correlated, yielding a rank-difference coefficient of 0.84. These results suggest that conation is a strong factor in determining differential performances on neuropsychological tests. Further research is required to identify the role of conation in determining the ecological validity of neuropsychological test results. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

41. Conation: A Neglected Aspect of Neuropsychological Functioning.

Reitan, Ralph M. and Wolfson, Deborah
- Abstract
Conation, which involves the ability to apply oneself diligently and productively to the completion of a task over time, was compared in groups with and without evidence of brain damage. Both groups were administered tests that ranged from tasks that were presented by an examiner one item at a time (minimal conation), to a task that required the subject to work independently for 30 minutes, with instructions to work as quickly and as accurately as possible. In this study it was not possible to control test content perfectly, but all tasks were primarily verbal in nature. The subjects with brain damage, compared to the controls, showed progressive impairment in accordance with the degree to which the tasks were judged to require conative ability. Conation, which has been a neglected dimension of behavior in neuropsychological assessment, may be the missing link between cognitive ability and prediction of performance capabilities in everyday life. Additional research is needed to investigate further this apparently significant aspect of neuropsychological functioning. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The current globalized environment has increased the prevalence of multicultural teams in the workplace. Efforts to attend to the potential challenges associated with the usage of these teams have ranged widely with little research looking into team creation strategies. To address this need, this research investigates whether a particular approach, the Kolbe guidelines for team creation, can be used to predict multicultural teams’ efficiency. Six teams of 4 were created and asked to build a paper bridge spanning as far as possible while using the least resources. Though complete data was only available for 5 of those teams, the results indicated a potential for the Kolbe guidelines to predict performance in addition to the potential mediating role of teamwork processes for the relationship between team members prior knowledge of each other and objective performance. This study will inform the next research effort analyzing the resilience of synergistic multicultural teams.

Almost the entirety of research on effort in clinical neuropsychology has focused on negative aspects of effort in neuropsychological assessment, with most work over the last 20 years emphasizing feigned cognitive impairment. In contrast, few studies have explored trait-level positive influences on motivation and engagement in regard to neuropsychological testing. This paper reviews potential constructs associated with positive aspects of effort in neuropsychological testing, including conation, grit, Need for Cognition, and personality factors from the Five Factor Model of personality (Big Five). Findings are discussed from a positive neuropsychological framework, with an emphasis on positive effort being conceptualized as perseverance and resiliency in cognitively demanding testing situations. Challenges for the field are discussed, and we offer suggestions for conceptualizing effort on a continuum and recommendations for future research directions.

In this paper, the authors have chosen to take a closer look at a socio-emotional behavioral condition known as Inappropriate Behavior or Feelings Disorder (IBFD) which is listed in the Educator’s Diagnostic Manual of Disabilities and Disorders (EDM; Pierangelo & Guiliani, 2007). The term (or IBFD for short) used in this diagnostic manual is not found anywhere in the current literature including the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). According to the EDM, under the IDEA 2004 enactment, it is one of the criteria for the classification of Emotional Disturbance (ED): “inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances” (p.163), and it covers social, emotional, physical and psychological aspects of behavior or feelings. Hence, the term Inappropriate Behavior or Feelings Disorder is coined from this particular IDEA statement of criterion and, in turn, it is used only in the EDM multi-level coding system. The authors argued the need for educational therapists, special educators and counselors to reframe their current understanding of the IBFD, whose symptoms are similar to disruptive behavior disorders (DBD), within the context of the cognition-conation-affect-sensation (CCAS) framework as they continue to observe, record and evaluate the condition in terms of its core symptoms seen, measured and/or profiled before the diagnostic term IBFD is applied under the EDM code ED3.00.

People, young and old, with exceptional abilities, be they gifted, talented or savant, often manifest overexcitabilities (OEs) – innate intensities, heightened sensitivity and response to stimuli – that can impact positively or negatively or both on the developmental potential of an individual. The term potential refers to the human behavior (i.e., behavioral potential) that can be expressed in terms of thoughts (Cognition), actions (Conation), feelings (Affect) and senses (Sensation), also known as CCAS model. This paper examines the concept of OEs which are stemmed from Kazimierz Dabrowski’s (b.1902-d.1980) theory of positive disintegration (also known as a theory of personality development, emotional development and moral development) within the CCAS framework, where the authors have attempted to show the association between the behavioral potentials (BPs) of CCAS and the concept of the five OEs. As a result, a new model emerges to provide us a better understanding how OEs can help to better understand as well as enhance the development of human potential via BPs.

The indirect effects of gratifications on intention to read citizen journalism news.Using a survey conducted across nearly 300 users, hypotheses were tested.All gratifications, except for escape, have direct effects on attitude.However, none of the gratifications has a direct effect on intention.Attitude mediates the path between all gratifications and intention. This paper investigates gratifications of reading citizen journalism news by applying the research model drawn from the uses and gratifications approach, and the cognitive-affective-conative framework. Based on the uses and gratifications literature and the cognitive-affective-conative framework, the effects of gratifications on attitude (i.e., affective) and intention (i.e., conative) are examined. The indirect effects of gratifications on intention to read news (i.e., conation) through the interpretation of affection that users experienced are also examined. Using a survey conducted across nearly 300 users, the results show that all gratifications, except for escape, have direct effects on attitude. However, none of the gratifications has a direct effect on intention. The proposed model shows that attitude mediates the path between the effects of all gratifications and intention. The model explains a high percentage of variance with gratifications explaining about 46% of the variance in attitude. However, their effects on intention are limited when attitude is controlled.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of the trilogy of emotion – cognition, affection, and conation – on future purchase intentions in consumers of products of high involvement. Design/methodology/approach – The author employed two studies on two different products to test the influence of emotion on future purchase intentions in study one and to replicate the results of study one in study two, using structural equation modeling. In study two, brand awareness is regarded as a mediator. Findings – The results indicate that cognition can influence future purchase intentions, and that affection meaningfully influences future purchase intentions. Additionally, the researcher found that the impact of affection on future purchase intention is stronger than that of cognition on future purchase intentions. Moreover, brand awareness meaningfully influenced cognition, affection, and conation directly, and future purchase intentions indirectly. Practical implications – Encouraging conditions in which consumers have good thoughts and feelings about a prior purchase can bolster future purchase intentions, empowering the potent in future purchase for the brand involved. Originality/value – This research validates the impact of emotion – more specifically cognition and affection – on future purchase intentions under mediating role of brand awareness, in a country with growing markets. Hence, it adds to the literature of post-purchase important findings.

Now-a-days, more and more information systems are linked to the Internet and offer Web interfaces to the general public or to a limited set of users. This paper proposes a standard manner to implement interruption-lenient Web servers. This manner is based on idleness and diversification principles in order to increase the system resilience to assaults: usually, an assault targets particular software, running on a particular platform, and fails on others. The manner is composed of redundant proxies that mediate client requests to a redundant bank of diversified application servers. The idleness is deployed here to increase system availability and integrity. To improve presentation, adaptive idleness is applied: the idleness level is selected according to the current attentive level. The manner can be used for static servers, that is, for Web distribution of stable information (updated offline) and for fully dynamic systems where information updates are executed immediately on an online database. The feasibility of this manner has been demonstrated by implementing an example of a travel agency Web server, and the first presentation tests are satisfactory, both for request execution times and recovery after incidents.

Purpose – In order to cope with the challenge of developing successful fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) innovations, market research vendors offer several methodologies to test concepts. The purpose of this article is to examine the discrepancy between the well-established experimental real store methodology and the most recent of these alternative methodologies that is the virtual store. Design/methodology/approach – A parallel testing of a new adult cereal was conducted in France with 200 shoppers in each store. Findings – Results show that all attitudinal measurements are similar in terms of cognition and conation, but affect and behavior cannot be compared across both methodologies. In conclusion, virtual store testing is a new method that does not exactly fit with one of the previous. Research limitations/implications – The study is limited to a single product and should be generalized to more product categories. Practical implications – Virtual store should be used carefully in order to take capital expenditure decisions. It generates different attitudes and behaviors, but more research is needed in order to debate on predictability. Originality/value – With the emergence of virtual stores to test FMCG innovations, this paper is of high value for practitioners who have to proceed to several tests, with different objectives, before a product launch.
