Product Quality, Price, Product Involvement, Atmosphere and WOM Effect on Purchase Intention at Starbucks Coffee Hayam Wuruk Drivethru Jakarta, Indonesia

In this study the researchers would like to explore how product quality, price, atmosphere, word of mouth, product involvement affects customer’s purchase intention on Starbucks’ products of Starbucks Coffee Drive Thru Hayam Wuruk on West Jakarta during early Pandemic Covid19. There are 5 hypotheses on this research: (1) there is a positive effect of product quality upon purchase intention; (2) there is a positive effect of price upon purchase intention; (3) there is a positive effect of product involvement upon purchase intention; (4) there is a positive effect of atmosphere upon purchase intention; (5) there is a positive effect of word of mouth upon purchase intention. The research started from June of 2020 until the end of the year 2020. The results of the study showed that all five of the hypotheses were supported. Word of mouth is the most significant independent variable from all of the five hypotheses. From the discussion and findings shows the power of drivers on variables; product quality, price, product involvement, atmosphere, word of mouth affects purchase intention in the era of situation pandemic in around of the location. Then, this one becomes the interesting facts that discuss in this research paper. But even though the researcher has gathered results, the researcher would like for future researchers to improve a better research compared to this research. This is caused by the limitations of energy and funding. Keywords: Product Quality and Price, Product Involvement, Atmosphere, Purchase Intention, Starbucks Coffee

Replication Data for: Artificial tactile and proprioceptive feedback improves performance and confidence on object identification tasks

Data used in the article "Artificial tactile and proprioceptive feedback improves performance and confidence on object identification tasks", published in PLoS ONE

Artificial tactile and proprioceptive feedback improves performance and confidence on object identification tasks.

Somatosensory feedback of the hand is essential for object identification. Without somatosensory feedback, individuals cannot reliably determine the size or compliance of an object. Electrical nerve stimulation can restore localized tactile and proprioceptive feedback with intensity discrimination capability similar to natural sensation. We hypothesized that adding artificial somatosensation improves object recognition accuracy when using a prosthesis. To test this hypothesis, we provided different forms of sensory feedback-tactile, proprioceptive, or both-to two subjects with upper limb loss. The subjects were asked to identify the size or mechanical compliance of different foam blocks placed in the prosthetic hand while visually and audibly blinded. During trials, we did not inform the subjects of their performance, but did ask them about their confidence in correctly identifying objects. Finally, we recorded applied pressures during object interaction. Subjects were free to use any strategy they chose to examine the objects. Object identification was most accurate with both tactile and proprioceptive feedback. The relative importance of each type of feedback, however, depended on object characteristics and task. Sensory feedback increased subject confidence and was directly correlated with accuracy. Subjects applied less pressure to the objects when they had tactile pressure feedback. Artificial somatosensory feedback improves object recognition and the relative importance of tactile versus proprioceptive feedback depends on the test set. We believe this test battery provides an effective means to assess the impact of sensory restoration and the relative contribution of different forms of feedback (tactile vs. kinesthetic) within the neurorehabilitation field
