Este estudo visa compreender a relação entre os atributos intrínsecos e extrínsecos do produto calça jeans e o seu preço no varejo, tendo como objetivo específico analisar a influência separadamente dos atributos intrínsecos e extrínsecos sobre os preços. Para tanto, utiliza-se da teoria de atributos proposta por Lancaster (1966) e dos métodos de preços hedônicos propostos por Rosen (1974), por meio dos quais é possível observar a importância dos pacotes de atributos intrínsecos e extrínsecos sobre os preços, bem como observar a constituição de pacotes de atributos para diferentes perfis econômicos de consumidores. Foram analisadas 12 categorias de atributos sendo 5 de atributos intrínsecos e outras 7 de atributos extrínsecos. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de observação e a pesquisa foi realizada no período de 01 de julho a 31 de julho de 2015 nos maiores shoppings centers e principais lojas de ruas de São Paulo. A partir dos dados coletados, foram realizadas regressão múltipla e a regressão quantílica. A regressão múltipla apresentou o R2 de 58%, nessa análise os principais atributos que influenciam são: loja premium, venda assistida, origem da loja, tamanho da loja (megaloja), tamanho da loja (ampla), lavagem destroyed, resina, modelo flare, lavagem dirty, localização da loja (rua ou shopping), complementos, modelo skinny insumos elastano e poliéster. A regressão quantílica proporciou a análise para 10% das calças mais caras e para os 10% das calças mais baratas. Para as calças mais caras o R2 é de 45% para as calças mais caras há mais atributos extrínsecos do que atributos do produto interferindo no preço, são eles: os insumos poliéster e elastano, lavagem e resinagem, origem da marca da loja, posicionamento da marca, venda assistida, localização da loja, cartão de crédito - private label (nesse caso influenciando negativamente), e tamanho da loja, todos extrínsecos ao produto, se mostraram relevantes para o processo de precificação das calças jeans mais caras observadas nesse estudo. Já para as calças mais baratas, com R2 de 27%, parece haver um equilíbrio entre o número de variáveis intrínsecas e extrínsecas que interferem no preço das calças jeans mais baratas, pois somente a modelagem (atributo intrínseco) e cartão private label (atributo extrínseco) parecem não interferir na precificação. Concluiu-se que há mais atributos extrínsecos que influenciam o preço da calça jeans no varejo. / This study aims to understand the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic attributes of jeans and its retail price, with the specific objective to analyze the influence separately from intrinsic and extrinsic attributes on prices. To do so, it uses the attributes of theory proposed by Lancaster (1966) and hedonic pricing methods proposed by Rosen (1974), through which it is possible to see the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic attributes packages on prices and to observe the constitution attributes of economic packages for different consumer profiles. 12 categories of attributes, 5 of intrinsic attributes and other 7 extrinsic attributes were analyzed. Data collection was carried out through observation and the survey was conducted in the period from July, 1st to July, 31st, 2015 in major shopping malls and main streets of São Paulo stores. The collected data was analyzed through multiple regression and quantile regression. Multiple regression showed a R2 of 48%, according to this analysis the attributes that influence are: premium store, assisted sale, shop origin, size of the store (superstore), store size (large), destroyed wash, resin application, flare model, dirty wash, store location (street or shopping), accessories, skinny model spandex inputs and polyester. The quantile regression, pointed analysis for 10% of the most expensive jeans and for 10% of the cheapest jeans. For the most expensive pants, R2 is 45% the extrinsic attributes interfering in the price more than product attributes, they are: polyester inputs and spandex, washing and resin application, the origin for store brand, brand positioning, assisted sale, store location, credit card -private label (in this case presenting a negative influence) and size of the store, all extrinsic to the have shown to be relevant to the process of pricing of the most expensive jeans observed in this study. As for the cheapest pants, with R2 of 27% seems to be a balance between the number of intrinsic and extrinsic variables that affect the price of the cheapest jeans, modeling (intrinsic attribute) and private label (extrinsic attribute) do not seem to interfere in pricing. It was concluded that there are more extrinsic attributes that influence the jeans of the retail price.

This Q methodology study focused on those intrinsic attributes that successful African American men who had adverse childhood experiences attributed to their success. Using the purposeful and snowball sampling recruitment process, forty-two successful African American men participated in this research project. Five distinct factors were identified and labeled as, Factor 1: The Godly Working Men, Factor 2: The Competitive Men, Factor 3: The Charismatic Men, Factor 4: The Expectation Driven Men, and Factor 5: The Proud African American Men. The main findings were that respectful African American boys who are taught to understand who they are spiritually, be proud of their racial history, have a sound sense of purpose, and a desire to work hard are tooled to become successful African American men. The findings in this study support the wealth of research regarding strength-based youth development approaches, such as the Positive Youth Development’s 40 Developmental Assets framework. The six top intrinsic attributes that the participants in this research project ranked as most contributing to their success were 1) faith and trust in God, 2) desire to learn and understand how to apply the word of God to their life, 3) being respectful of others, 4) having a sense of purpose and value for life, 5) pride in racial identity and history, and 6) the ability to work hard and do their best. However, the intrinsic attributes relating to spirituality and pride in racial identity and history are not explicitly identified within the internal assets of the Positive Youth Development’s 40 Developmental Assets framework. For this framework to be meaningful for African Americans, the pride in racial identity and history attribute should be added to the positive identity group and a new group should be included to account for the two spirituality attributes. This study provided evidence that African American men from adverse backgrounds have voices and want to share their experiences to help other young people overcome and be successful. It is highly recommended that additional study be conducted on the impacts that extrinsic and intrinsic attribute have to the success of African American men.

Cotton makes up a majority of the world’s fiber market, with genetically engineered (GE) cotton the current staple of the US agricultural landscape. With GE cotton’s overall acceptance for US farmers and manufacturers, it is of concern that the majority of literature concerning GE crops primarily compares negative attitudes towards GE food crops in stricter economies such as the European Union. Due to the inadequate literature regarding both the market advantages and consumer perceptions of GE cotton specifically, this study was conceived to provide marketers with a baseline analysis of the factors that affect US consumers’ current attitudes (knowledge, risk perceptions, etc.) regarding GE cotton. Multiple regression analyses were used for our models which measured purchase intentions towards GE cotton and perceived risks of GE cotton based on both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Paired and single t-tests were performed to predict the current positioning of GE cotton as a marketable alternative to organic and conventional cotton, and to determine which institutions consumer’s trust most for information on the risks and benefits of GE cotton. Our studies showed that while knowledge of cotton and agriculture is low, GE cotton was regarded more positively than conventional cotton with the potential to improve in consumer’s opinions. According to our findings, by efficiently communicating the benefits of GE cotton through trusted channels of communication (i.e. scientists, consumer organizations, the media), particularly addressing ethical concerns, policy regulation, and how the product is useful to the consumer individually, GE cotton could become a comparative market alternative to organic, at a greater available supply. / text
