“…These results suggest that especially peers and to a certain extent also favorite celebrities are important role models for adolescents’ online behavior directed at celebrities. These results are consistent with findings of previous studies showing that adolescents attach more importance to the opinions and reactions of their friends and peers than to those of their parents and teachers (Heirman & Walrave, 2012; Mitchell et al, 2015; Pabian & Vandebosch, 2014). Further research is necessary to investigate the prevalence of peers’, parents’, and celebrities’ negative online behavior directed at celebrities and how often adolescents are exposed to this behavior.…”

“…This peer influence can be due to the changing socialization roles in adolescence, in which parents lose their exemplary function and the presence of peers in each other’s lives increases substantially (Furman & Collins, 2008). Various studies that compared the impact of parents and peers on adolescents’ behavioral intentions showed that adolescents attach more importance to the opinions and reactions of their friends and peers than to those of their parents and teachers (Heirman & Walrave, 2012; Mitchell, Petrovici, Schlegelmilch, & Szőcs, 2015; Pabian & Vandebosch, 2014).…”

The present study investigated the effect of descriptive and injunctive norms of peers, parents, and favorite celebrities on adolescents’ negative online behavior toward celebrities. The sample consisted of 1,255 adolescents ([Formula: see text] = 14.17, SD = 0.47). Adolescents indicated what their peers, parents, and favorite celebrities think of celebrity bashing (injunctive norms) and whether they engage in it (descriptive norms). The adolescents also indicated how often they had participated in negative online behavior toward celebrities and peers. The results revealed that compared with injunctive norms, descriptive norms are better predictors of adolescents’ negative online behavior toward celebrities. Focusing on the different role models, the impact of peers was the strongest for both mild and severe forms of celebrity aggression. Moreover, the results showed that adolescents who engage in negative online behavior directed at celebrities are likely to do the same regarding peers.

“…Parental socialization is founded on the social learning theory. Socialization is defined as 'the process by which young people acquire skills, knowledge, and attitudes relevant to their functioning as consumers in the marketplace' (Mitchell et al, 2015). Social learning theory explains consumer socialization by focusing on environmental influences impinning on the individual.…”

The purpose of this study is to test an integrative model that examines the role of parents in the interaction of food advertising and children. Specifically, the study intends to examine the mediating role of parenting style on the relationship between the personal moral philosophies of parents and attitudes towards food advertising (AA) targeted at children. Personal moral philosophies were examined in two aspects, namely idealism and relativism, while parenting styles are conceptualized as socio-and concept-orientation. The paper also considers the differential effect of parents' gender for this mediation context. Data were collected from 112 Turkish parents who have 3 to 8 year-old children via face-to-face questionnaire. A moderated mediation framework and Bootstraping were used to test the proposed relationships. The results indicated that while socio-oriented parenting style mediates the relationship between idealism and AA, concept-oriented parenting style mediates the relativism-AA link. More idealist parents have more socio-oriented parenting styles as well as more negative attitudes towards food advertising targeted at children than relativist does and concept-oriented parents. The mediating effect of parenting style on the relationship between moral philosophies of the parents and AA was found to be moderated by gender of the parents. The study contributes to literature by examining the combining effect of personal moral philosophy of parents and their parenting style on attitudes towards advertising targeted at children considering parents' gender as moderator.

“…Moreover, they look for opportunities for skill development. Flexibility, sociability and familiarity with everything new are positive features of Generation Y and on the other hand, egocentrism, hedonism, self-confidence, irresponsibility and social networking "addiction" are considered negative ones (Wong et al, 2017;Gupta et al, 2016;Mitchell et al, 2015;Munir et al, 2015). People born between the years 1995 -2020 are known as Generation Z.…”

The level of employee motivation in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (Slovakia, Lithuania and the Czech Republic) is analysed in the paper. Sampling unit consisted of 6,961 respondents (hereof 3,862 males and 3,009 females). The age, education, seniority and job position of respondents were various. Significance of differences of averages and standard deviation of specific motivation factors at the level of significance  =0.05 in terms of nationality and the age of respondents was verified in tests. Subsequently, the samples were tested using the Tukey's HSD test. Following the research, the order of 8 most important motivation factors in analysed countries was defined. The subtle difference was observed in the order of their importance. Differences are dependent on the nationality; however, they do not depend on the age. The importance of motivation factors in Lithuania differs from those in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Basic salary, atmosphere in the workplace, supervisor's approach, fringe benefits are the most important motivation factors in all three countries. The importance of further motivation factors is almost equal in Slovakia and the Czech Republic (motivation factors relating to finances and relationships). The difference is seen in Lithuania, where the motivation factors relating to personal development and career are considered the most important. The research and its outcomes can be considered a part of further research carried out in other countries of Western, Central as well as Eastern Europe.
