Abstract: This study is to fill up a research gap on examining the
differences in normative beliefs (namely acceptance of weaknesses,
acceptance of provoked aggression, and acceptance of unprovoked
aggression) among different subtypes of aggressors and
non-aggressors (reactive aggressors, proactive aggressors,
reactive-proactive aggressors, and non-aggressors). 2,236 students
(1,372 males and 864 females), aged from 11 to 18, completed a
self-reported questionnaire. Results revealed that (a) schoolchildren
with reactive-proactive aggression have the highest acceptance of
provoked aggression, the highest acceptance of unprovoked
aggression, and the lowest acceptance of weakness; (b) schoolchildren
with proactive aggression have higher acceptance of unprovoked
aggression and lower acceptance of weakness than reactive aggressors;
and (c) schoolchildren without aggression have the lowest acceptance
of provoked aggression, the lowest acceptance of unprovoked
aggression, and the highest acceptance of weakness.
Abstract: Unlike its conventional counterpart, Islamic principles
forbid Islamic banks to take any interest-related income and thus
makes deposits from depositors as an important source of fund for its
operational and financing. Consequently, the risk of deposit
withdrawal by depositors is an important aspect that should be wellmanaged
in Islamic banking. This paper aims to investigate factors
that influence depositors- withdrawal behavior in Islamic banks,
particularly in Malaysia, using the framework of theory of reasoned
action. A total of 368 respondents from Klang valley are involved in
the analysis. The paper finds that all the constructs variable i.e.
normative beliefs, subjective norms, behavioral beliefs, and attitude
towards behavior are perceived to be distinct by the respondents. In
addition, the structural equation model is able to verify the structural
relationships between subjective norms, attitude towards behavior
and behavioral intention. Subjective norms gives more influence to
depositors- decision on deposit withdrawal compared to attitude
towards behavior.
