Choice as an engine of independence : implications for employee voice and managerial decision making by Nanakdewa, Kevin

“…The research presented in this thesis is the first to document a heightened sense of independence as a key outcome of choice, and the first research to demonstrate that choice can influence decision making biases (e.g., the sunk-cost bias).…”

How content attributes of short video influence online purchase intention: the mediating role of perceived value by Fan, Wenjing, Osman, Syuhaily, Zainudin, Norzalina, Pinyi, Yao

“…Moreover, the study is based on self-reported data that can be influenced by social desirability bias and memory bias. Further studies might equip themselves with behavioral data, such as real purchase records, to complement the information from subjects to make up for the constraints of such self-reporting.…”

Rainfall projection using CIMP6 models of extreme area in Johor by Hamid, H, Rahmat, S N, Kasmin, H, Tukimat, N N

“…The research employs statistical downscaling, using historical observed data (1988-2020) and GCM output data, with a bias correction through linear scaling. The performance of the GCMs is assessed using various metrics including Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Coefficient of Determination (R2), Percentage of Bias (Pbias), and NashSutcliffe Efficiency (NSE). …”
