TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the interactive effects of ability and achievement striving as well as ability and situational optimism on student performance outcomes and conclude that ability, achievement striving, and optimism influence student performance.
Abstract: Student performance has become an increasingly important topic in higher education as it relates to retention and graduation rates and as university administrators place emphasis on performance as the basis for budgeting. The purpose of this research was to determine to what extent students' ability, achievement striving, and situational optimism influence performance outcomes and to investigate the interactive effects of ability and achievement striving as well as ability and situational optimism on student performance outcomes. Study results and implications for institute of higher education and classroom instructions are also discussed.

TL;DR: It is suggested that QR code promotion is a practical and useful tool for loyalty, and its use may significantly depend on its context, whether physical or psychological.
Abstract: Drawing upon utility maximization theory, this study examines the consequences of quick response (QR) code mobile promotion in terms of information privacy concerns, defensive responses (intention to protect, fabricate, or withhold), and loyalty. Two contextual variables, social anxiety and situational involvement, are hypothesized as moderators. The main survey employs the scenario method with 667 general consumers in Japan. The results indicate that most of the main effects are supported for both moderators. There are strong interaction effects of social anxiety and situational involvement in intention to protect and intention to fabricate personal information. Our study suggests that QR code promotion is a practical and useful tool for loyalty, and its use may significantly depend on its context, whether physical or psychological.
