“…A marker variable is simply a theoretically unrelated variable to at least one of the constructs studied. The marker variable used in this case was socially desirable responding (SDR) scale developed by Strahan & Gerbasi (1972). We found out that there were no significant differences in the correlation scores, both before and after restricting for the marker variable.…”

Based on Resource Based Theory (RBT), the competitiveness of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) depends on the uniqueness of resources used in the production and delivering of goods and services. Moreover, the innovation capability of SMEs is critical in enhancing their uniqueness. Various factors, however, could potentially influence SME innovation performance. This present study thus focuses on how SME innovation performance could be enhanced through the three dimensions of network embeddedness (relational, structural and cognitive). Founded on Resource Dependency Theory (RDT), the study seeks to demonstrate how SMEs could tap into the rich external resources within the networks they are embedded in. The study was based on 388 SMEs selected using a purposive sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used for the data collection, with the data analyzed by structural equation modeling performed in Amos (v.20). The findings revealed that relational, structural and cognitive embeddedness had a positive effect on innovation performance, while structural embeddedness had the greatest impact on SME innovation performance. As such, SMEs seeking to improve their innovation performance through networks should pay critical attention to the network tie and density. Past studies on network embeddedness and innovation performance have shown conflicting results, and therefore this present study makes a notable contribution to the ongoing debate. Past studies have indicated a positive, negative, inverted u-shape, and even no significant relationship at all between the various dimensions of network embeddedness and innovation performance.

“…Results of cheraghi et al showed that there is significant relationship between the perceived social support quality of life [18]. Social acceptance is another factor of this research, which refers to individuals' responses according to cultural norms that results in their acceptance and social utility [19]. Problems in social interaction and solving the social issues can result in new problems in social acceptance.…”

This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between social interaction, perceived social support and social acceptance with aggression among adolescents. The execution method was a descriptive and correlative. The statistical population of this study included all of the boy adolescent high school students, that sample including 260 participants of boy adolescents were chosen from various locations of the city by adopting a cluster sampling technique. Results indicated that among the perception of social interaction elements; there is positive and significant relationship between negative thoughts and aggression, and negative and significant relationship between positive thoughts and aggression. Also, there is negative and significant relationship between the elements of perceived social support (social support of friends, family and others) and regression. Moreover, there is negative and significant relationship between social acceptance and adolescents' aggression. Thus, it can be concluded that perception of social interaction, perceived social support and social acceptance are significant factors which effect the occurrence or absence of adolescents' aggression.

“…The M-C SDS is one of the most widely used social desirability scales (Vu, Tran, Pham, & Ahmed, 2011) and was initially found to have an internal consistency of α = 0.88 (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960), and a subsequent replication reported an internal consistency of 0.72 (Loo & Thorpe, 2000). The M-C SDS has also been found to be reliable across diverse samples and experimental contexts (e.g., Sârbescu, Costea, & Rusu, 2012;Vu et al, 2011).…”

The perceived credibility of a sexual assault victim's court testimony was examined. A 2 (Face Covered: No, Yes) x 2 (Muslim Garment: No, Yes) between-participant design was used.Participants (N = 120) were assigned to watch one of four videos of a sexual assault victim providing testimony, and asked to rate her credibility. The effect of Muslim Garment on victim credibility ratings was significant; the victim was perceived as more credible when she wore a niqab or hijab compared to when she did not wear either of these garments. The effect of Face Covering on credibility ratings was non-significant, and the interaction was non-significant. The implications for women who wear Muslim garments while testifying about sexual assault are discussed.
