Mediating role of attitudes as a moderator on the factors interaction and willingness reality in China
Kejie, Wang
Abstract
This study investigates the determinants influencing user behaviour and interactive experiences with digital virtual reality (DVR) technology among first-year college students at Gansu Province. While DVR is increasingly used for educational engagement, the factors influencing students' attitudes, interactions, and willingness to use it remain underexplored. Existing research lacks a comprehensive model that considers the mediating role of attitudes and the moderating effect of gender. This study aims to address this gap by identifying key factors, exploring how attitudes mediate these relationships, and examining gender as a moderating variable. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a comprehensive model that identifies and examines the factors influencing students' attitudes, interactions, and willingness to engage with digital virtual reality in educational settings. The study also seeks to explore the mediating role of attitudes in these relationships and investigate the.....

The economic and non-economic determinants of happiness in Malaysia
Vinothiny Subramaniam
Abstract
This study examines the influence of economic and non-economic factors on happiness in Malaysia. Non-economic factors include demographic and political variables, while the economic determinants focus on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and government expenditure. Non-economic data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, generalized ordered logit regression (gologit2), and marginal effect tests; whereas economic factors were examined by using descriptive and multiple regression analyses. The results show that health, financial situation, importance of God, income, number of children, employment status, and leisure time are positively and significantly associated with happiness. In contrast, age and education are negatively related to happiness, with the negative effect of education attributed to higher expectations and frustration. Political and social factors such as freedom of choice, democracy, trust in government, and incumbent voting also positively influence happiness. Apart o.....

Acquisition and development of modal semantics in early childhood
Shuzhen, Chen
Abstract
This study aims to delineate the developmental trajectory of modal semantics in Mandarin-speaking young children, to map the relationship between modality and its formal expressions, and to reveal the cognitive mechanisms of subjectification in acquisition. Drawing on the Chinese Children_s Multimodal Speech Corpus, it analyses longitudinal data from three children aged 1_4 to investigate the acquisition of modal verbs, modal adverbs, and modal particles with respect to onset age, frequency distribution, and semantic functions. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses, comparison, statistical examination, and exemplification, as well as static distribution and dynamic investigation. The findings indicate that children_s acquisition of modality is comprehensive, with the order of development progressing _from outside to inside_: modal particles > modal verbs > modal adverbs. The direction of semantic growth is also clear: from root modality t.....
