“…Living alone was a significant predictor of maladaptive coping. To demonstrate condition 2, a regression analysis was conducted where anxiety was regressed onto all the predictors in the hypothesized model except the mediators (Blanthorne, Jones‐Farmer, & Almer, ), negative thinking, and maladaptive coping. This model accounted for 22% of the variance in anxiety, F (11, 197) = 6.4, p < .0001 (Table ).…”

“…For instance, the multivariate normality of the data was investigated by conducting normality checks using the AMOS software, which found outliers in the sample. The outliers were included in the analysis since the decision as to whether to omit or retain outliers depends on the circumstances surrounding the case: research question importance and sample size (Blanthorne, Jones-Farmer, & Almer, 2006).…”

The leisure constraints and negotiation model was used to examine nonparticipation in a large festival event. A purposive sampling survey was conducted with 502 event nonparticipants. The results indicated that the hierarchical leisure constraints model is a useful framework for understanding the constraints to attendance at special events. Consistent with previous research on constraints to participation, structural constraints were the greatest category of constraint, followed by interpersonal and intrapersonal constraints. Further, nonparticipants who experienced intrapersonal constraints were least likely to attempt negotiations relative to time, partners, or finances. Additionally, this study compared the constraints of nonparticipants who were interested and disinterested in attending the event and found disinterested nonparticipants perceived greater intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural constraints than those interested in attending, suggesting that constraints create amotivation. Disinterested event nonparticipants were also less likely to negotiate constraints to participation, especially barriers related to lack of time and partners with whom to participate. Finally, interested nonparticipants who experienced intrapersonal constraints were less likely to attempt to negotiate constraints. This study broadens the scope of the constraints and negotiation discussion to include the context of a community festival event, as well as differences in constraints and negotiation between interested and disinterested event nonparticipants.

“…Following Blanthorne et al (2006) scales with at least three measurement items were selected. The survey instruments were then validated by expert panel reviews.…”

“…SEM allows simultaneous estimation of multiple research variables, as this study has, by using multivariate statistical procedures (Maruyama and McGarvey 1980). Compared to traditional regression analysis, SEM results in more robust analysis because it accounts for the random measurement errors that are inherent in behavioural studies (Blanthorne et al 2006 (Hair et al 2014). Marcoulides and Saunders (2006) argue that PLS-SEM is appropriate for a study that proposes a model developed from existing theories and then collects data to test the model, as is the case in this study.…”

“…PLS-SEM is appropriate as it provides a more robust analysis compared to traditional regression analysis. SEM takes into account the measurement errors that are inherent in behavioural studies (Blanthorne et al 2006). Furthermore, PLS-SEM allows simultaneous assessment of the proposed hypotheses and the overall consistency of the proposed model (Baron and Kenny 1986).…”

Audit software for data analytics, most commonly known as Generalised Audit Software (GAS), has been used by audit organisations since the deployment of IT in business organisations. The use and importance of GAS has increased with the growth in the sophistication and proliferation of IT within business organisations. Despite this development, recent studies have reported that GAS is still underused and identified that the factor contributing most to such underutilisation of GAS isThis is a preliminary stage of thesis development.

My thanks also go to the faculty of UQBS and within the BIS cluster in particular for their advice and assistance. From my interactions with them, especially during the research seminars, I learnt a lot about how to conduct a good research project, including how to deal with issues I have. My special thank goes to Dr Terry Rowlands who helped me understand data analysis using R and gave me advice when I stuck with R.Secondly, I would like to thank the audit organisation who agreed to participate in my study, especially for the staff and auditors who gave support and assistance during the data collection processes.Lastly, I would like to send my thanks to my PhD fellows at PhD zone for their support, sharing, and motivation especially during the challenging times of doing research.
