“…Perhaps the level of students' anxiety towards statistics was higher at the beginning of the course and decreased during their participation in the course. Similar experiences have been reported by Jatnika (2015). To confirm this assumption further research should be undertaken.…”

“…One of these is Zapletal and Pacakova (2013), who highlighted the usage of statistical software to motivate students to study statistics. Furthermore, Jatnika (2015) has studied the effect of an SPSS course on students' attitudes towards statistics and achievement in statistics. The author tried to determine whether there was a significant difference in students' attitudes before and after participating in an SPSS course.…”

“…Namely, we understand statistical software to be a useful tool which can help to strengthen positive attitudes towards statistics among students. As some authors (Jatnika, 2015) indicate that students' attitudes towards statistics may change after attending a statistics course supported by statistical software, this aspect is worth studying in the future. Future research should also be oriented towards the investigation of pedagogical support for the use of statistical software, as it is seen that the use of statistical software requires an adequate level of motivation in order to reduce students' statistics anxiety.…”

The aim of the paper is to investigate the main factors influencing the adoption and continuous utilization of statistical software among university social sciences students in Slovenia. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), a conceptual model was derived where five external variables were taken into account: statistical software selfefficacy, computer attitude, statistics anxiety, statistics learning self-efficacy, and statistics learning value. The model was applied to the purposive sample of 387 university social sciences students in Slovenia who have been introduced to IBM SPSS Statistics during statistics courses. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicated that all external variables considered in the model directly or indirectly affect the behavioural intention to use statistical software and are therefore relevant for our study. The most influential factors are found to be statistics anxiety and statistics learning value. The latter one plays a central role in our extended TAM, as its impact is stronger when compared with other external variables. The findings from our empirical study are useful for statistics educators. The recommendations proposed can improve the educational process in order to strengthen students' attitudes towards statistics and to decrease the level of statistics anxiety.

“…Attitudes toward statistics itself have not been studied as the influential factor in SPSS acceptance models in the past, moreover, it may be expected that students' attitudes toward statistic change after attending statistics and the SPSS course (Jatnika, 2015). Some studies also found out, that there are only a small proportion of students who believe that statistic will be useful and important in their chosen career, even after the implementation of additional organized trainings (Hagen et al, 2013).…”

The purpose of this paper is to understand how transfer pricing law affects transfer pricing decision making in foreign direct investment enterprises in Vietnam. The study also suggests further research on the determinants over transfer pricing decision making of these enterprises to have better solutions to deal with transfer mispricing in Vietnam. A quantitative research method involving self-administered closed ended questionnaires is extended to manage Directors/Chief Executive Officers, Tax Managers/ Directors, Chief Finance Officers or Heads of Finance from foreign direct investment enterprises in Vietnam. Findings indicate a strong probability of a relationship between transfer pricing law and the transfer pricing decision making of foreign direct investment enterprises in Vietnam. Therefore, there is a need for government to have specific law on transfer pricing. Good transfer pricing database is also expected; punishment should be reasonable; transfer pricing audit process should be stronger; transfer pricing trainings should be introduced more to the enterprises. It is believed that the implementation of suitable transfer pricing law in Vietnam will assist the government better deal with transfer pricing abuse in foreign direct investment enterprises. The findings support Vietnamese policy makers to improve the law on transfer pricing. Nevertheless, tax officials and accounting representatives can have in-depth knowledge with regard to transfer pricing decision making which the outcome of this study aspires as guidance for better understanding the aspects of transfer pricing decision making while doing business in Vietnam.
