Difference in Condom Use Between Bear Concordant and Discordant Dyads During the Last Anal Sex Event

The purpose of this study was to understand how bear identity influenced condom use during the last anal sex event. Participants were recruited to complete an online, anonymous self-report survey through bear-related sexual and social networking websites. A total of 1,080 men who identified as gay or bisexual and as a member of the bear community and were 18 years or older completed the survey. Overall, fewer than a third of men reported condom use during the most recent receptive (28%) and insertive (30%) anal sex event. Men in bear concordant pairings were less likely to use a condom during receptive and insertive anal sex compared to those is discordant pairings (p < .05). Findings suggest that bear identity concordance influences condom use during anal sex after accounting for an individual’s relationship to their most recent partner as well as other confounding variables.     

Social participation,health‐related behavior,and depression of older adults living alone in Korea

This study aims to identify the effects of social participation on depression among adults over 60 years old living alone in Korea, focusing on the mediating effect of health‐related behavior on the social participation–depression relationship. The study relies on secondary data analysis using the 6th wave of the Korea Longitudinal Study of Ageing, and structural equation modeling method was employed for analyses. The findings indicate that older adults' participation in religious and social gatherings decreases depressive symptoms. The study also finds that regular eating behavior, drinking, and exercise also act as significant mediators, as older adults' participation in social gatherings is associated with those health‐related behaviors and that they also reduce depression. The results suggest that social participation by older adults who live alone is crucial not only for providing them with support but also for encouraging health‐related activities that can have direct effects on their mental health. Implications for social work practice are also discussed.     

差序格局中的自我呈现:大学生微信朋友圈分享行为动因解析

基于熟人关系的微信社交是网络化条件下新兴的社交模式。微信圈子来源于现实社会圈子,呈现差序格局空间结构。借助微信朋友圈分享行为,大学生实现了熟人网络社交空间中的“自我呈现”。对某高校大学生微信朋友圈分享行为的动因分析发现,以“已”为中心的“自我主义”是分享行为的思维特征,修饰、共情、陶醉、利他等四个维度的内因与外因共同影响着分享行为的行动逻辑。“克己复礼”是大学生微信朋友圈共同遵守的道德规范,慎省、慎辨、慎言是规范分享行为的内在要求。

Internal communicators’ understanding of the definition and importance of employee advocacy

In recent years, employee advocacy has evolved as a hot topic that has generated a lot of buzz in todayös public relations, marketing, and business circles. In spite of the growing relevance of employee advocacy, there is limited empirical and theoretical research on this topic and a universal definition and clear understanding of its exact meaning is lacking. Hence, the purpose of this study was to fill a gap in public relations research on employee advocacy by examining how internal communicators understand this behavior and their perceptions of its value. Through interviews with 25 public relations and communications practitioners, the studyös results indicated that participants perceived that advocacy could be expressed verbally or nonverbally. Given these findings, the study proposed a new definition of employee advocacy. Overall, participants agreed that employee advocacy plays a critical role in an organizationös future performance and can impact its success in several ways.     

A longitudinal qualitative evaluation of an economic and social empowerment intervention to reduce girls’ vulnerability to HIV in rural Mozambique

PurposeAn intervention including business training and health education was implemented in Mozambique, where girls are at elevated risk for acquiring HIV. As part of a mixed-methods evaluation, we describe perceived effects of the intervention on girls’ sexual behavior and school attendance.MethodsWe conducted 49 in-depth interviews (IDIs) with girl intervention participants (ages 13–19), 24 IDIs with heads of girls’ households, 36 IDIs with influential males identified by girls, and 12 focus group discussions with community members after the intervention ended and one year later.ResultsInformants said the primary intervention benefit was realized when girls had money to stay in or return to school and/or to buy necessities for themselves and their households—reducing their need for transactional or intergenerational sex. However, some girls did not make a profit and some businesses were not sustainable. Sometimes the intervention appeared to be implemented in a way to reinforce inequitable gender norms resulting in some girls feeling shame when they reengaged in risky sex after their businesses failed.ConclusionsEarning money enabled girls to potentially reduce their vulnerability to HIV. We offer recommendations for future multi-sector interventions, including the need to address potential harms in programs serving vulnerable girls.     

国内众筹平台上出资者行为研究——以京东众筹为个案

众筹作为一种新型互联网金融模式,近年来深受企业和个人的关注。分析众筹平台上出资者的行为规律对提高融资绩效具有重要价值。文章以京东众筹平台上1 016个众筹项目的面板数据为样本,对我国众筹市场中出资者的行为开展了实证研究。研究发现：以筹资目标完成作为分界点,国内众筹市场中出资者的出资行为先后表现出羊群行为和旁观行为。具体表现为：在达到筹资目标额之前,项目的筹集进度越高,越能吸引出资者参与（即羊群行为）;一旦项目完成筹资目标,项目的筹集进度越高,出资者反而减少（即旁观行为）。此外,众筹平台的网络关注度、众筹项目的首页推荐、众筹项目的更新、众筹项目的互动以及众筹项目的关注均对出资者的出资有正向影响。     

竞争行为及其特征对企业绩效的影响研究——以互联网信息服务业为例

以互联网信息服务业为样本企业,从竞争互动理论视角出发,探讨企业竞争行为对企业绩效的影响,并将竞争行为特征作为调节变量引入分析模型。通过搜集中国市值排名前十的互联网企业2013-2017年的竞争互动与企业绩效数据,实证分析得出：(1)互联网信息服务企业市场行为总体上对企业绩效产生正向显著影响,7种行为中只有附随扩散、合作联盟与宣传行为表现出正向显著影响;(2)非市场行为总体上未对企业绩效产生显著影响,3种行为中只有参与行为对企业绩效产生显著正向影响;(3)竞争行为的创新性与复杂性对市场行为与企业绩效的关系具有正向调节作用,创新性对非市场行为与企业绩效的关系具有正向调节作用。     

Interdisciplinary and Interorganizational Research: Establishing the Science of Enterprise Networks

We review and discuss the evolution of interdisciplinary and interorganizational research in operations management and suggest directions for future investigations. The proposed operations management research focus is one that embraces a more holistic view of an “extended enterprise” which involves working with a new business model—the organization as a network. This methodology starts by treating the organization as a system that is enabled by information technology and is characterized by ubiquitous information sharing across traditional enterprise. Proper integration of technology, business processes and people factors needs to be developed to create higher value from networked enterprises. Operations management research future lies in establishing this science from an interdisciplinary perspective. We analyze this perspective in the context of papers published in the first 50 issues of Production and Operations Management and the related literature.     

Do actions reduce perceived risk? A longitudinal analysis of the relationship between risk perception and actions in response to forest disturbance in Colorado

As residents living in hazard-prone areas face on-going environmental threats, the actions they take to mitigate such risks are likely motivated by various factors. Whereas risk perception has been considered a key determinant of related behavioral responses, little is known about how risk mitigation actions influence subsequent perceived risk. In other words, do actions to prevent or mitigate risk reduce risk perception? This longitudinal study considers the dynamic relationships between risk perception and risk-mitigating behavior in the context of forest disturbance in north-central Colorado. Based on panel survey data collected in 2007 and 2018, the results provide a first look at changes in perceived forest risks as they relate to individual and community actions in response to an extensive mountain pine beetle outbreak. Analysis revealed that the perception of direct forest risks (forest fire and falling trees) increased, whereas indirect forest risk perception (concern on broader threats to local community) decreased across the two study phases. Higher individual or community activeness (level of actions) was associated with subsequent reductions in perceived forest fire risk, smaller increases in direct risk perception, and larger decreases in indirect risk perception. These findings contribute insights into the complex risk reappraisal process in forest hazard contexts, with direct implications for risk communication and management strategies.
