Jorge Ruiz-Menjivar, Wookjae Heo, and John Grable are contributing co-authors, The Effects of Situational and Dispositional Factors on the Change in Financial Risk Tolerance. pp. 201-220. DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-7484-4.ch012 Utilizing the lens of Heider\u27s (1958) attribution theory and Grable and Joo\u27s (2004) conceptual framework, this chapter studies the effect of situational and dispositional attributions on changes in financial risk tolerance. Situational factors are assessed through changes in household situation and changes in macroeconomic factors. For dispositional factors, changes upon sensation seeking attitudes are explored. The data employed in this research come from the 1993, 1994, and 2006 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N = 5,449). Results from structural equation modeling indicate that changes in internal attributions have a significant and positive effect (coefficient = 0.12, p \u3c0.01) on the change in risk tolerance, as is true for changes in external attributions where a significant effect is seen (coefficient = 0.30, p \u3c0.01). Thus, the findings from this study support the conceptual framework premised on Heider\u27s attribution theory and Grable and Joo\u27s (2004) conceptual model.https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/consumer-sci_book/1001/thumbnail.jp

Bottomonium and Drell-Yan production in p-A collisions at the CERN SPS

In the past few years the NA50 experiment carried out a comprehensive study of heavy quarkonia production, both in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. In particular, data from p-A collisions have been collected in order to estimate the size of the absorption of quarkonia states in cold nuclear matter. Along with the studies on J/psi and psi', NA50 measured for the first time Y production at 450 GeV incident energy ( sqrt(s)=29.1 GeV) on five nuclear targets (Be, Al, Cu, Ag and W) in the dimuon decay channel. We report here results on the cross section at mid-rapidity and the nuclear dependence of Y and Drell-Yan production. We analyzed as well the transverse momentum and rapidity distributions for the Y meson. The results are compared with previous measurements and with the predictions of theoretical models
