“…Regression and correlation analysis are used to answer the research objectives in this study. According to Sabti et al (2019), it is possible to decide whether a correlation is strong or weak and this can be done by referring to the table by Guildford Rules of Thumb. Table 5 shows the level of correlation as according Guildford Rule of Thumb: For the analysis of reward and enjoyment, it can be found that the correlation level is strong.…”

People from different groups of ages use social media as one of the mediums to shop for skincare products especially among youth. There is a growth in product marketing that utilises social media especially on Instagram to get a higher engagement with potential customers in buying skincare products. However, some posts on Instagram that market skincare products are too good to be true resulting in Instagram users to contemplate on whether to purchase the product or just scroll through. This research will be based on the theory of reasoned action and employs a quantitative analysis where questionnaires will be distributed among youth live in Klang Valley. In this study, researchers look at the effects and the factors that contribute towards users’ purchase intention based on social media marketing. There is a positive correlation between social media marketing activities such as sponsored posts, brand pages, and skincare product reviews and the likelihood of consumers paying attention to these posts and making a purchase. The data collected is analysed by using SPSS in doing correlation and regression analysis. The findings indicate that Instagram usage increases the purchase intention among youth due to the enjoyment felt when using Instagram. This is because rewards, absorption and autonomy provide enjoyment towards youth and increase their purchase intention towards skincare products. Future research needs to be done to examine if competition to obtain popular skincare products has the same influence towards purchase intention among youth on Instagram.

“…The results revealed a significant negative association between the sub-constructs of writing anxiety and all three measures in both types of writing. Sabti et al (2019) conducted research on the relationships between two dimensions of L2 writing anxiety, namely facilitating and debilitating anxiety, and the constructs of writing goal orientation. Their results demonstrated positive relationships between mastery-and performance-approach goals and facilitating writing anxiety, and a negative relationship between a combination of debilitating writing anxiety and performance-avoidance goal, and the factors of mastery-and performance-approach goal and facilitating writing anxiety.…”

“…The above-mentioned literature providing valuable data on mostly the adverse and debilitating influence of anxiety on L2 students' writing ability appears to involve abundant research, yet further studies are still needed for several reasons. First, the relevant research demonstrates a prevailing tendency towards quantitative methodology, drawing predominantly on descriptive or correlational data (Heiderzadi et al, 2022;Keyvanoğlu & Atmaca, 2023;Kırmızı & Kırmızı, 2015;Li, 2022;Mulyono et al, 2020;Quvanch & Na, 2022;Sabti et al, 2019;Woodrow, 2011). Qualitative and mixed-method studies, which may contribute to a more profound understanding of this skill-specific and highly personalized type of anxiety, are relatively few (Genç & Yaylı, 2019;Rabadi & Rabadi, 2020).…”

This study sought to investigate foreign language (L2) writing anxiety of Turkish students learning English as a foreign language (EFL) by focusing on the L2 writing anxiety levels; the prevailing types, perceived causes and effects of L2 writing anxiety; and the strategies that students employed to alleviate L2 writing anxiety. The study adopted a convergent parallel mixed-methods design consisting of a quantitative survey and qualitative open-ended interviews with the students studying at English Language and Literature undergraduate program at a state university in Türkiye. A total of 138 students responded to the questionnaire and eight volunteers among them were interviewed face to face. The survey data were analysed through descriptive and inferential statistics while interview records were analysed through thematic analysis. The findings converged on the point that the students displayed high levels of L2 writing anxiety and that time constraints and assessment orientation were the prominent factors leading to anxiety. The students’ L2 writing anxiety varied significantly across perceived L2 proficiency levels, demonstrating higher-level anxiety for the students reporting themselves as less proficient L2 users. Based on the interview reports, the student-perceived causes and effects of writing anxiety as well as the factors and relieving strategies were identified. Finally, recommendations for more effective strategies for alleviating English language learners’ L2 writing anxiety were discussed.

“…It is said that the model's prediction is better the higher the correlation coefficient [16], a coefficient <0.40 has low correlation, coefficients between 0.40-0.70 have normal correlation, coefficients >0.70 and above have high correlation. It is stated that it indicates good performance results [4,27,28,29]. Since MAE and RMSE, which are one of the most frequently used error measures among estimation methods, are error measures, the performance of the model will be higher if they take low values close to zero [16,30], and it is better to evaluate them together, but not limited to them.…”

Nowadays, computer technologies are increasing rapidly. Thanks to the development of computer technologies, large and complex raw data sets can be transformed into useful information with different analysis techniques. Different algorithms developed thanks to computer technologies can offer different solutions to scientists and users working in different branches of science, especially engineering sciences, mathematics, medicine, industry, financial/economic fields, marketing, education, multimedia and statistics. Thanks to these solutions, it is possible to easily achieve the desired goals and objectives. Thus, by correctly managing and analyzing existing data in large and complex raw data datasets, accurate predictions can be made to be used in similar problems in the future. Data sets are analyzed and evaluated using different methods. It is also possible that the classification of data during the analysis and evaluation stages of data sets significantly affects the decision-making process regarding the work to be done. Classification of data can be done by statistical method or data mining method. Decision trees, which can be used to classify numerical and alphanumeric data, generally provide a great advantage for decision makers in terms of easy interpretation and understandability compared to other classification techniques. For these reasons, in this study, decision trees, one of the most used classification techniques in data mining, are mentioned.
