<div><p>When parents are expected to play a significant role in the management of their children’s health perioperatively, information overload for parents could have particularly detrimental consequences. Our study investigated information communication and overload in 380 parents of children undergoing any elective surgical procedure at our institution. Participants completed an online questionnaire and were asked to respond to a newly designed Information Overload scale based on a modified 5 item Cancer Information Overload Scale and an 8-item atrial fibrillation information overload scale. Nineteen respondents (5%) identified as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. More than a quarter of respondents (n = 102, 27%) primarily spoke a language other than English at home. 56% of respondents (n = 211) indicated that neither themselves nor any of their children had undergone a similar surgery in the past. Most respondents disagreed or strongly disagreed with the majority of the 5-item Information Overload scale statements. University undergraduates had lower total information overload score on average (-1.63, p = 0.002). People who spoke a language other than English had higher total score on average (0.98, p<0.001). Semi-structured qualitative interviews including the BRIEF health literacy screening tool were conducted with 24 parents. 23 interviewees scored 17–20 points in the BRIEF health literacy screening tool, indicating they were able to read and comprehend patient education materials. Overall, parents were satisfied with the amount of information that they received. Very rarely did any parent complain of ‘information overload’. Our results show that parents of children undergoing elective paediatric surgery are not suffering from information overload in general, but they do want more information on immediate and late postoperative recovery.</p></div>

<div><p>Safeguarding the rights of minorities is crucial for just societies. However, there are conceivable situations where minority rights might seriously impede the rights of the majority. Favoring the minority in such cases constitutes a violation of utilitarian principles. To explore the emotional, cognitive, and punitive responses of observers of such utilitarian rule transgressions, we conducted an online study with 1004 participants. Two moral scenarios (<i>vaccine policy</i> and <i>epidemic</i>) were rephrased in the third-party perspective. In both public health-related scenarios, the protagonist opted against the utilitarian option, which resulted in more fatalities in total, but avoided harm to a minority. Importantly, in <i>vaccine policy</i>, members of the minority cannot be identified beforehand and thus harm to them would have been rather <i>accidental</i>. Contrariwise, in <i>epidemic</i>, minority members are identifiable and would have needed to be <i>deliberately</i> selected. While the majority of participants chose not to punish the scenarios’ protagonists at all, 30.1% judged that protecting the minority over the interests of the majority when only accidental harm would have occurred (<i>vaccine policy</i>) was worthy of punishment. In comparison, only 11.2% opted to punish a protagonist whose decision avoided deliberately selecting (and thus harming) a minority at the cost of the majority (<i>epidemic</i>). Emotional responses and appropriateness ratings paralleled these results. Furthermore, complex personality × situation interactions revealed the influence of personality features, i.e., trait psychopathy, empathy, altruism, authoritarianism, need for cognition and faith in intuition, on participants’ responses. The results further underscore the need to consider the interaction of situational features and inter-individual differences in moral decisions and sense of justice.</p></div>

<div><p>In recent years, cultural tourism has increasingly embraced museum visits. Museums serve as both cultural heritage guardians and integral parts of tourist destinations, significantly impacting visitor satisfaction and experience. Moreover, online museum reviews have become a crucial indicator of museum service quality, visitor experience, and public feedback in the digital age. An analysis of online reviews on major tourism websites and social media platforms can assist museums in developing appropriate management strategies. This study employed the structural topic model (STM) to analyze online museum reviews, identifying three primary attributes of museums and visitors’ personal experiences, as well as 19 sub-attributes. The study confirmed that core offerings have a positive impact on visitor experience and satisfaction, while peripheral services and overall ambiance are also positively related to visitor experience and satisfaction. Furthermore, the results of structural equation modeling demonstrated that visitors’ personal experiences have a positive impact on satisfaction. The results of structural equation modeling analysis support all seven hypothesized relationships. These findings will assist museum managers in developing effective management strategies and future plans.</p></div>

Factor Analysis: Exploratory

Robert M. Pruzek · Wiley StatsRef: Statistics Reference Online · 2014

Abstract Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) provides a way to account for intercorrelations or covariances among all pairs of variables in a battery using a relatively small number of latent variables called common factors. The method can be especially helpful for analyzing structural relationships in situations where observed variables are approximately linearly related to one another, and when individual‐level observations are fallible, that is, subject to errors of measurement. Exploratory factor analysis has gained prominence in many fields over many years, and it has been the subject of much praise as well as criticism. Psychometric and statistical practice has not fully caught up with contemporary appreciations of factor analytic and related methods, but past and recent developments suggest notable promise for continued applications in applied sciences.

<div><p>Clear and accurate pronunciation plays an essential role in communicating effectively and significantly affects English learners’ proficiency. ELSA Speak has been used in some schools due to its benefits to help learners improve English pronunciation. However, to optimize the application, a better understanding of EFL learners’ satisfaction with ELSA Speak is essential. The novelty of this study is assessing how English major students were satisfied with using ELSA Speak to enhance their pronunciation and explore key factors that contributed to positive users’ experience. Two hundred and five English major students at a Vietnamese higher education institution were surveyed by a 23-item questionnaire classified into four variables: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, confirmation, and satisfaction. The findings recorded a high level of satisfaction among participants. Moreover, although both perceived ease of use and confirmation showed a considerable impact on learners’ satisfaction, confirmation was reported to be the determining antecedent of satisfaction. Perceived usefulness was directly influenced by perceived ease of use and had a stronger influence on confirmation compared to perceived ease of use. However, perceived usefulness did not have a directly significant correlation with learners’ satisfaction. These results can add evidence of learners’ satisfaction with using ELSA Speak, explain some elements affecting satisfaction, and suggest employing ELSA Speak in pronunciation courses with careful consideration of the content and teacher support as a facilitator.</p></div>
