‘Women Bleed in Private’ / Miscarriage Goes Public: A Relational Response to Social Silence over Miscarriage in Sarah Ruhl’s Writings
Authors: Hernando-Real Noelia
Published: September 2024

This article discusses Sarah Ruhl’s miscarriage experience in her autobiographical work Smile (2022) and in a selection of poems from 44 Poems for You (2020). The discussion considers Ruhl’s account as quest narratives in which she voices what she considers a tragic event in her life to underline the need to overcome the usual social silence that reigns over miscarriage. Ruhl’s prose and lyrical approaches to her miscarriage are both physical and emotional, but also social, cultural and political. Her accounts help to destigmatize this loss and to hold control over her own experience in ways that transcend the social constructions of how to experience miscarriage. As argued, Ruhl’s approach is that of a communicative dyadic body that informs us on the signals of miscarriage, of her personal experience, and what she did to get pregnant again and reconcile with this loss. Beyond the medical usefulness of her work, through her writings, Ruhl invites readers to question the social and cultural assumptions surrounding miscarriage. And in doing so, she helps women who have experienced miscarriage to regain confidence in their own bodies and the strength to revisit and fight against the common conception and representation of miscarriage as merely a physical and emotional wasteland.

Authors: Huber Angie , Schroeder Nicole , Verhoff Dave , Parsons Andrew
Published: September 2024

The Health-Focused Physical Therapy Model integrates lifestyle behavior management into physical therapy practice using a standardized care model and motivational patient interviewing. The purpose of this study was to identify the perceived opportunities and barriers physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and rehab administrators may face when implementing the model. This study included a survey of 19 physical therapy clinicians, and interviews with four rehabilitation administrators from one healthcare system. All participants attended a continuing education course covering the model and then completed a survey detailing their perceptions. Participants included female (100%), physical therapists (78.9%) and physical therapy assistants (21.1%), with variable educational degrees, and at least 16 years of clinic experience (73.7%). Four rehabilitation administrators, 100% female with at least 11 years of PT practice, participated in a semi-structured interview. Survey analysis revealed participants were confident in their understanding of the model and believed the model would positively impact the health of patients. However, over half perceived time limitations as a barrier. Meanwhile, three themes from the interview emerged including holistic care, implementation barriers, and needed resources. This study demonstrated time limitations and productivity standards could limit the implementation of health-focused physical therapy care. Future research should analyze opportunities and barriers of the model with broadened participant sampling methods and triangulation across healthcare practitioner roles to guide implementation and realistic practice standards.
Long-Term Effects of Auricular Medicine – A Key to the Future of Preventive Medicine?
Authors: Litscher Gerhard
Published: September 2024

Auricular medicine, based on the concept that the ear reflects the entire body, has gained recognition for treating various conditions through targeted acupuncture. Despite documented short-term benefits, such as pain relief and nervous system regulation, research into its long-term effects is limited. This editorial discusses the need for further long-term studies to explore whether regular auricular acupuncture can offer sustained health benefits and serve a preventive role. It summarizes two studies: one on auricular therapy with magnetic pearls for elderly insomnia and another on frequency-controlled ear acupuncture for COVID-19-related olfactory dysfunction. Both studies suggest potential benefits, underscoring the importance of continued research to fully understand and harness auricular medicine’s preventive and therapeutic potential.
Investigating Older Adults' Use of a Socially Assistive Robot via Time Series Clustering and User Profiling: Descriptive Analysis Study
Authors: Yoo In-jin , Park Do-Hyung , Lee Othelia EunKyoung , Park Albert
Published: September 2024

Background

The aging population and the shortage of geriatric care workers are major global concerns. Socially assistive robots (SARs) have the potential to address these issues, but developing SARs for various types of users is still in its infancy.

Objective

This study aims to examine the characteristics and use patterns of SARs.

Methods

This study analyzed log data from 64 older adults who used a SAR called Hyodol for 60 days to understand use patterns and their relationship with user characteristics. Data on user interactions, robot-assisted content use, demographics, physical and mental health, and lifestyle were collected. Time series clustering was used to group users based on use patterns, followed by profiling analysis to relate these patterns to user characteristics.

Results

Overall, 4 time series clusters were created based on use patterns: helpers, friends, short-term users, and long-term users. Time series and profiling analyses revealed distinct patterns for each group. We found that older adults use SARs differently based on factors beyond demographics and health. This study demonstrates a data-driven approach to understanding user needs, and the findings can help tailor SAR interventions for specific user groups.

Conclusions

This study extends our understanding of the factors associated with the long-term use of SARs for geriatric care and makes methodological contributions.
We Have Spent Time, Money, and Effort Making Self-Help Digital Mental Health Interventions: Is Anyone Going to Come to the Party?

Published: September 2024

Although efficacious psychotherapies exist, a limited number of mental health care providers and significant demand make their accessibility a fundamental problem. Clinical researchers, funders, and investors alike have converged on self-help digital mental health interventions (self-help DMHIs) as a low-cost, low-burden, and broadly scalable solution to the global mental health burden. Consequently, exorbitant financial and time-based resources have been invested in developing, testing, and disseminating these interventions. However, the public’s assumed desirability for self-help DMHIs by experts has largely proceeded without question. This commentary critically evaluates whether self-help DMHIs can, and will, reach their purported potential as a solution to the public burden of mental illness, with an emphasis on evaluating their real-world desirability. Our review finds that self-help DMHIs are often perceived as less desirable and credible than in-person treatments, with lower usage rates and, perhaps accordingly, clinical trials testing self-help DMHIs suffering from widespread recruitment challenges. We highlight two fundamental challenges that may be interfering with the desirability of, and engagement in, self-help DMHIs: (1) difficulty competing with technology companies that have advantages in resources, marketing, and user experience design (but may not be delivering evidence-based interventions) and (2) difficulty retaining (vs initially attracting) users. We discuss a range of potential solutions, including highlighting self-help DMHIs in public mental health awareness campaigns; public education about evidence-based interventions that can guide consumers to appropriate self-help DMHI selection; increased financial and expert support to clinical researchers for marketing, design, and user experience in self-help DMHI development; increased involvement of stakeholders in the design of self-help DMHIs; and investing in more research on ways to improve retention (versus initial engagement). We suggest that, through these efforts, self-help DMHIs may fully realize their promise for reducing the global burden of mental illness.

Published: September 2024

Background

Research in the developmental origins of health and disease provides compelling evidence that adverse events during the first 1000 days of life from conception can impact life course health. Despite many decades of research, we still lack a complete understanding of the mechanisms underlying some of these associations. The Newcastle 1000 Study (NEW1000) is a comprehensive, prospective population-based pregnancy cohort study based in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, that will recruit pregnant women and their partners at 11-14 weeks’ gestation, with assessments at 20, 28, and 36 weeks; birth; 6 weeks; and 6 months, in order to provide detailed data about the first 1000 days of life to investigate the developmental origins of noncommunicable diseases.

Objective

The study aims to provide a longitudinal multisystem approach to phenotyping, supported by robust clinical data and collection of biological samples in NEW1000.

Methods

This manuscript describes in detail the large variety of samples collected in the study and the method of collection, storage, and utility of the samples in the biobank, with a particular focus on incorporation of the samples into emerging and novel large-scale “-omics” platforms, including the genome, microbiome, epigenome, transcriptome, fragmentome, metabolome, proteome, exposome, and cell-free DNA and RNA. Specifically, this manuscript details the methods used to collect, process, and store biological samples, including maternal, paternal, and fetal blood, microbiome (stool, skin, vaginal, oral), urine, saliva, hair, toenail, placenta, colostrum, and breastmilk.

Results

Recruitment for the study began in March 2021. As of July 2024, 1040 women and 684 partners were enrolled, with 922 infants born. The NEW1000 biobank contains 24,357 plasma aliquots from ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes, 5284 buffy coat aliquots, 4000 plasma aliquots from lithium heparin tubes, 15,884 blood serum aliquots, 2977 PAX RNA tubes, 26,595 urine sample aliquots, 2280 fecal swabs, 17,687 microbiome swabs, 2356 saliva sample aliquots, 1195 breastmilk sample aliquots, 4007 placental tissue aliquots, 2680 hair samples, and 2193 nail samples.

Conclusions

NEW1000 will generate a multigenerational, deeply phenotyped cohort with a comprehensive biobank of samples relevant to a large variety of analyses, including multiple -omics platforms.

Social Media Use in Adolescents: Bans, Benefits, and Emotion Regulation Behaviors
Authors: McAlister Kelsey L , Beatty Clare C , Smith-Caswell Jacqueline E , Yourell Jacqlyn L , Huberty Jennifer L
Published: September 2024

Social media is an integral part of adolescents’ daily lives, but the significant time they invest in social media has raised concerns about the effect on their mental health. Bans and severe restrictions on social media use are quickly emerging as an attempt to regulate social media use; however, evidence supporting their effectiveness is limited. Adolescents experience several benefits from social media, including increased social connection, reduced loneliness, and a safe space for marginalized groups (eg, LGBTQ+) to interact. Rather than enforcing bans and severe restrictions, emotion regulation should be leveraged to help adolescents navigate the digital social environment. This viewpoint paper proposes a nuanced approach toward regulating adolescent social media use by (1) discontinuing the use of ineffective bans, (2) recognizing the benefits social media use can have, and (3) fostering emotion regulation skills in adolescents to encourage the development of self-regulation.

Published: September 2024

This study discusses the seismic performance evaluation of an irregular auditorium building. The building is an educational facility which has roof span up to 46 meters, column height up to 10 meters, beam span up to 15 meters, cantilever up to 6.50 meters, 2 inclined columns with the angle up to 54.72°, and 1 transfer column with 1 transfer beam. The evaluation process was carried out using Tier 3 method with linear dynamic procedure which consisted of Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA) and Linear Time History Analysis (LTHA) according to ASCE 41-23 using SAP2000 subjected to short (S s ) and long (S ) period of earthquakes. The building is designed to Risk Category IV, which the target performance levels for structural components are Immediate Occupancy (IO) for Basic Safety Earthquake 1 for New Building (BSE-1N) and Life Safety (LS) for Basic Safety Earthquake 2 for New Building (BSE-2N). Even though the building had a torsional strength irregularity, the percentage of components with a Demand-Capacity Ratio value that did not meet the requirements was 9.87% of the total components; hence the linear procedure was assumed to be still applicable. Analyses showed that the average acceptance criteria ratio of the components with the RSA method was lower than with the LTHA method but the percentage of the components with acceptance criteria ratio exceeding 1 using RSA method was higher than using the LTHA method. In addition, the results indicated that the average performance level of the components was IO for BSE-1N and LS for BSE-2N, which both results had met the expected performance level targets. However, the maximum performance level of the components did not meet the IO performance level target for BSE-1N and did not meet the LS performance level target for BSE-2N.

Culture Level Quotient (CLQ) 2025
Authors: Hasan Mahadi , Lee Chien Yi
Published: September 2024

The deficiency of today’s science and mathematics becomes obvious from the point of view of the 16 Methods of Reason of Culture Level Quotient (CLQ) of post-science. Post-science has bridged the gap between mathematical and/or logical rigor and reality. The scientific method based on empirical verification is not the only method for discovering knowledge of reality. Methods of reason accept different standards of rigor under different cultures. In particular, social and life sciences involve infinity and permanence, which cannot be empirically verified, and their solutions need to be accepted based on complete mathematical and/or logical rigor. There are 16 distinct methods of reasoning that can be identified and can be used to measure the cultural level of a person or a society. The 16 Methods of Reason are the combination of the 4 basic methods of reasoning: 1) Logic, 2) Mathematics, 3) Empirical Verification, and 4) Faith, each of which has 2 forms: 1) Incomplete and 2) Complete and two types: 1) Exact and 2) Fuzzy. The 16 Methods of Reason are arranged in the order of cultural level from the lowest 1 dealing with problems of lowest complexity to the highest 16 dealing with problems of greatest complexity.
Research on the Application of Information Visualization Design Based on the Three-level Theory of Emotions
Authors: Yu Liuyi , Gong Churou
Published: September 2024

As society progresses, environmental challenges have emerged as a central concern in modern discourse. The degradation of ecosystems has led to the endangerment and extinction of numerous plant species. Moreover, the overwhelming influx of information available to individuals often hampers their understanding of the significance of these endangered species. Conventional written narratives are frequently inadequate in fulfilling the audience’s informational needs. As a nascent medium for scientific communication, information visualization presents an innovative and effective approach for individuals to swiftly acquire and interpret data. This paper concentrates on the endangered aquatic flora within the South China Botanical Garden, grounded in a three-tiered emotional theory framework. Strategies are developed across instinctual, behavioral, and reflective dimensions. The outlined strategic goals aim to elevate design aesthetic literacy, broaden cognitive processing capability, and enhance the efficiency of information dissemination. By employing endangered aquatic plants as a focal point for design initiatives in the South China Botanical Garden and integrating it with the theoretical framework, the objective is to present information regarding these vulnerable species in a more direct, inventive, and concise manner. This methodology aspires to raise public awareness surrounding the conservation of endangered plant life.

El ser insuficiente del mexicano en Ánimas Trujano
Authors: Casamadrid Pérez Raúl
Published: September 2024

La presente obra es una aproximación al filme Ánimas Trujano (el hombre importante) producido en los Estudios San Ángel en el año de 1961 por Ismael Rodríguez Ruelas. El libro se acerca al tema de la mexicanidad en el cine nacional a través de una película que, aunque ya no pertenece a su época dorada, sí se trata de una historia cien por ciento mexicana, en el sentido de que está inmersa en temas relativos a la mexicanidad y porque se ubica al interior de una comunidad mestiza al sur de la República y dentro del estado de Oaxaca; reconocido, incluso al interior del país, por sus múltiples tradiciones ancestrales. Independientemente de sus logros y reconocimientos en festivales internacionales y haciendo a un lado el valor artístico de sus interpretaciones actorales, el argumento fílmico resulta revelador en cuanto a ser un documento que refracta los usos y costumbres de una parte de la población mexicana y, en esa medida, señala elementos presentes dentro de la idiosincrasia del ser mexicano. En la historia de Ánimas, el personaje principal, y en la de cada uno de los que aparecen en la trama, es posible distinguir elementos propios del temperamento por el cual se distingue a un mexicano entre otras nacionalidades. Transcurre en un medio campirano pero sus imágenes y su sentido son universales; en una buena medida se muestra el carácter mestizo que define la genética ideológica de muchos pobladores de nuestro país.

The birth of zero in Wyndham Lewis's Self Condemned
Authors:   ,   Carleton University, Lafferty David W.
Published: September 2024

Wyndham Lewis’s Self Condemned is a novel of exile—a document of one person’s separation from all that is authentic, concrete, and life-giving. Its primary symbolic motif is what I have labeled “Zero.” Manifestations of Zero include iconographic zeroes (such as the numeral zero, the letter o, and the circle), ideas and phenomena with a conceptual relation to Zero, and invocations of traditional philosophical and theological conceptions of “nothingness.” This analytical framework is drawn partially from Brian Rotman’s Signifying Nothing: The Semiotics of Zero ; other sources include Lewis’s voluminous writings on politics, philosophy, and art. The ultimate goal of this study is to illuminate the transformation that Rene Harding undergoes in Canada—his cold furnace of Zero—and show how his journey into darkness is overshadowed by the genesis of something greater than himself.

Authors: ARIFIN ZIDAN DWINANDA , Dian Saputra
Published: September 2024

The impact of eco-efficiency, asset turnover, green accounting, and financial limitations on business value in the energy industry on the Indonesia Stock Exchange is examined in this study for the years 2020–2022. SmartPLS 3 was used to analyze financial statement data from 52 energy sector companies using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The findings indicate that while financial limitations have no discernible impact on corporate value, green accounting, asset turnover, and eco-efficiency do. The results of this study have significant implications for understanding the variables affecting business performance and value in the energy industry, as well as the significance of asset turnover, eco-efficiency measures, and green accounting in raising firm value. This research is expected to contribute to practitioners, regulators, and stakeholders in Indonesia's energy sector in the future to understand the influence of these factors.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Jinok Susanna , Jo Hyeyoung , Choi Seowoo
Published: September 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of digital learning capabilities on the level and importance of AI knowledge among university students, and to statistically analyze the mediating effect of AI beliefs in this process.
Methods For this study, we surveyed 309 students at four-year universities across the country. SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 23.0 were used to analyze the trend and normality of the study variables and correlation by Pearson's correlation. The measurement model was examined through confirmatory factor analysis, while the structural model was examined through structural equation modeling. The mediating effects were tested for statistical significance using the bootstrapping method with a two-sided test at a 95% confidence level.
Results The main results are as follows: First, The research variables all showed values above 3.0; however, their importance was higher compared to the level of AI knowledge. We found a positive correlation between digital learning capabilities and AI beliefs, knowledge and importance of AI. Second, digital learning capabilities have a statistically significant impact on AI beliefs, AI knowledge level, and AI knowledge importance. AI beliefs have a statistically significant impact on the importance of training and knowledge in AI. Third, we find that AI beliefs partially mediate the effects of digital learning capabilities on knowledge and importance of AI.
Conclusions Based on the results of this study, we would like to propose ways to respond to the changing learning environment, including AI education policies and teaching and learning methods, as AI is expected to play a key role in the future society.
Development and Validation of the Academic Mindfulness Scale(AMS) for Learners in their 20s
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Choi Jung Ah , Yang Ji-Yeon
Published: September 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the “Academic Mindfulness Scale(AMS)” to measure learners’ level of mindfulness regarding Learning Strategies, facing Emotional and Physical Frustration due to academic work, and the urge to overstriving for academic work.
Methods To this end, we conducted EFA and an internal consistency assessment with a sample of 208 learners in their 20s. Subsequently, we evaluated the model fit by carrying out CFA on a validation sample consisting of 207 learners. Convergent validity, discriminant validity, and criterion validity were examined through correlational analysis between the AMS and relevant variables.
Results A final 3-factor 14-item scale was derived from an estimation sample of 208 individuals. CFA results showed good fit indices with CFI of .932, TLI of .917, RMSEA of .073, and SRMR of .061. Based on the reliability analysis conducted on a validation sample of 207 individuals, the reliability analysis for each subscale showed that Mindfulness in Learning Strategies was .87, Mindfulness in Dealing with Emotional and Physical Frustration was .82, and Mindfulness against overstriving was .70. Correlation analysis with related variables showed that all the three factors showed positive correlations with trait mindfulness scales(CAMS-R, FFMQ, K-MAIA), dedication, vigour, absorption in academic enthusiasm scale, trait academic self-efficacy, state academic self-efficacy, regular and consistent practice, and perserverance and consistency in grit scale, confirming convergent and criterion validity. On the other hand, all the three factors showed negative correlations with Difficulty in emotional clarity and Difficulty in attention to feelings in Emotional Awreness Difficulty Scale, Emotional Exhaustion, Cynicism, Reduced Academic Efficacy in the academic burnout scale, trait academic procrastination, and state academic procrastination, confirming that this scale has discriminant validity.
Conclusions The AMS thus appears to be a reliable and valid self-report measure with practical utility for diagnosing and providing intervention for cultivating learners’ academic mindfulness competency.
An Analysis of Isomorphism and Decoupling of the ‘Visiting Lifelong Education’ Policy: Focusing on the case of “D Autonomous Region”
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kwon Jiyeong , Park Sangok
Published: September 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to reveal how the ‘visiting lifelong education’ policy is accepted, settled, and changed and developed in the region from the perspective of the isomorphism theory of sociological institutionalism.
Methods To this end, the case of D Autonomous District, which introduced the nation's first “visiting lifelong education” policy in 2009, was selected, focusing on the “visiting lifelong education” policy adopted and promoted by most lifelong learning cities as a major policy, and the phenomenon of isomorphism and decoupling of policies was analyzed. As a research method, in-depth interviews (FGI) were conducted with public officials and lifelong educators who worked from the introduction of the ‘D Autonomous Region’ policy until recently, and internal and external policy data were collected and analyzed to understand policy performance and changes.
Results As a result of the analysis, the ‘visiting lifelong education’ policy of ‘D Autonomous Region’ was forced isomorphism according to institutional pressure and resource dependence pursued by the lifelong learning city policy to realize a learning society, and imitative isomorphism occurred while benchmarking Japan's lifelong learning city case. In addition, within the organization in charge of policy projects, a normative isomorphism pattern was also found through networking between lifelong educators and external experts. On the other hand, as policies were stabilized and systematized, decoupling phenomena such as compromise on the imbalance between supply and demand, strategic avoidance to maintain the current system and operation method, and refusal to demand social change appeared.
Conclusions Through the isomorphism theory, this study was able to find out how lifelong education policies are accepted, changed, developed, and stagnated in the region in social, institutional, and organizational interactions. In the process of policy implementation, strategically selected isomorphism and decoupling strategies according to internal and external influencing factors create new policy practices and lead to policy regression and stagnation. Therefore, strategic policy choices and changes that respond quickly to changes in the historical and social environment are necessary to ensure flexible policy operation and sustainability in response to the demands of the new era.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Song Bogyeong , Choi So Young
Published: September 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between adolescents' health behaviors and obesity and their viewing of mukbangs and cooking shows.
Methods This study used data from the 18th Youth Health Behavior Survey conducted in 2022, and a total of 51,850 participants were analyzed by reflecting stratification variables, clustering variables, and weights according to the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidelines for composite sample analysis. Composite frequency analysis and composite crosstabulation analysis(Rao-Scott χ2-test) were conducted, and composite logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the influencing factors.
Results The results showed that adolescents' gender, grade level, subjective economic status, breakfast skipping, fruit consumption, fast food consumption, vegetable consumption, late-night snacking, days of physical activity of 60 minutes or more per day during the week, days of strength training during the week, and frequency of watching mukbangs and cooking shows were significantly associated with obesity.
Conclusions In order to prevent obesity in teenagers, it is necessary to provide appropriate education and various programs so that people can enjoy watching mukbang and cooking show videos and manage the effects on their own.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Hong Soomi , Yun Hyeongwan , Kim Dukwon
Published: September 2024

Objectives This study is to examine the mediating effect of class satisfaction in the effect of nursing students' English learning motivation on English learning continuity and the effect of nursing students' English learning motivation and English learning continuity.
Methods 274 university students in J area were surveyed to measure their English learning motivation, class satisfaction, and level of English learning continuity, and descriptive statistical analysis was conducted. The correlation between the variables was calculated by the Pearson correlation coefficient, and the mediating effect of class satisfaction in the relationship between the subject's English learning motivation and English learning continuity was analyzed using Hayes (2013)'s PROCESS macro Model 4.
Results The effect of English learning motivation on the mediating variable, class satisfaction, was statistically significant (β=.591, p<.001), and the effect of the independent variable, English learning motivation, on the dependent variable, English learning continuity was also statistically significant (β=.484, p<.001). In addition, as a result of conducting a mediated regression analysis by using English learning motivation, an independent variable, and class satisfaction, a parameter, as an independent variable, and English learning continuity as a dependent variable, the effect of English learning motivation on English learning continuity decreased compared to the previous one, but a positive relationship was still analyzed to be significant, indicating that class satisfaction had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between English learning motivation and English learning continuity of college students (β=.379, p<.001).
Conclusions It was confirmed that nursing students' English learning motivation had a significant positive effect on liberal arts English class satisfaction and English learning continuity, and it was verified that liberal arts English class satisfaction positively mediated the relationship between English learning motivation and English learning continuity.

Tak luput dari tren, Indonesia pun memiliki ekosistem produk fesyen mewah yang solid. Preferensi konsumennya pun bergeser. Kalau dulu banyak orang Indonesia memburu barang bermerek preloved(bekas), kini mereka semakin mampu membeli yang baru. Permintaan akan barang baru dari merek prestisius (blue-chip brands) meroket dari tahun ke tahun, khususnya di tataran e-commerce. Tahun lalu, total transaksi barang branded naik 37% dibandingkan periode sebelumnya, sedangkan total pembelanjaannya melesat 50%. Tren konsumsi barang-barang bermerek dengan harga fantastis itu terungkap dalam laporan Asia Luxury Index 2016 yang dilansir Reebonz, situs belanja online terbesar di Asia khusus untuk segmen produk fesyen prestisiusPerilaku konsumen berkaitan dengan komunikasi pemasaran karena dengan menganalisis perilaku konsumen maka diketahui informasi mengenai bagaimana konsumen mengambil keputusan dalam melakukan pembelian suatu produk atau jasa. Informasi tersebut diperlukan dalam mencari factor-faktor penyebab seorang konsumen membeli atau tidak jadi membeli dengan memperhatikan adanya perbedaan harapan dan kebutuhan konsumen.Dengan definisi kamus sederhana, kata "mewah" sering mengacu pada sesuatu yang dianggap lebih bersifat indulgensi daripada sebuah kebutuhan, sesuatu yang diinginkan yang memberikan kesenangan dan kenyamanan namun sulit didapat dan seringkali mahal (TheFreeDictionary.com, n.d.). Untuk menguraikan definisi ini, ahli kemewahan Kapferer dan Bastien (2012) menyiratkan bahwa konsep kemewahan berkaitan dengan "pengalaman atau produk hedonistik yang dibuat dengan harapan" yang dihargai secara signifikan lebih tinggi daripada nilai fungsional yang akan disarankan, dan bahwa distribusi barang sengaja dibatasi untuk mempertahankan citra eksklusif. Oleh karena itu, memiliki produk mewah yang diinginkan oleh orang lain membuat konsumen merasa istimewa, dan bertindak sebagai alat pembedaan sosial dan komunikasi status.Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif, dengan pendekatan deksiptif yaitu penelitian yang memberikan gambaran kepada pembaca dan mengungkapkan suatu masalah, keadaan, peristiwa, dan bagaimana adanya mengungkapkan fakta secara detail. Sedangkan, menurut Bagdan & taylor (dalam Moleong, 2002), yang dimaksud penelitian kualitatif adalah prosedur penelitian yang menggunakan data deskriptif berupa katakata tertulis atau lisan dari orang-orang dan perilaku yang dapat diamati.
