Abstract This study investigated the political, economic, social, and cultural environment perceptions on international students that define their acculturation and health related quality of life. Participants were 117 international students from 32 countries attending a Chinese university (females = 43%, mean age = 21.17 years, SD = 4.45 years). They reported on their acculturation to China and physical and psychological well-being. Results from t-tests and correlation analyses indicate political liberals had more positive attitudes toward China than the conservatives, and higher self-reported physical and psychological results. Higher scores on the “interdependence” dimension of self-construal, as well as More >

Abstract Knowing each other is obligatory in a multi-agent collaborative environment. Collaborators may develop the desired know-how of each other in various aspects such as habits, job roles, status, and behaviors. Among different distinguishing characteristics related to a person, personality traits are an effective predictive tool for an individual’s behavioral pattern. It has been observed that when people are asked to share their details through questionnaires, they intentionally or unintentionally become biased. They knowingly or unknowingly provide enough information in much-unbiased comportment in open writing about themselves. Such writings can effectively assess an individual’s personality traits… More >

Abstract Human Facial expressions exhibits the inner personality. Evaluating the inner personality is performed through questionnaires during recruitment process. However, the evaluation through questionnaires performs less due to anxiety, and stress during interview and prediction of leadership quality becomes a challenging problem. To the above problem, Temporal sequence based SENet architecture (TSSA) is proposed for accurate evaluation of personality trait for employing the correct person for leadership position. Moreover, SENet is integration with modern architectures for performance evaluation. In Proposed TSSA, face book facial images of a particular person for a period of one month and… More >
