Decision Making: P-value Method

Decision Making: P-value Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Persuasion Strategies

Persuasion Strategies

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Decision Making: Traditional Method

Decision Making: Traditional Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Conformity

Conformity

Conformity is the change in a person’s behavior to go along with the group, even if that person does not agree with the group.

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Area of Science:

Digital Governance
Public Administration
Social Media Studies

Background:

E-government services are increasingly crucial for citizen engagement.
Social media platforms offer new avenues for e-governance and e-participation.
Understanding adoption patterns in developing nations like Nigeria is vital.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the preference, adoption, and utilization of e-government services in Nigeria.
To identify factors influencing e-government adoption through social media.
To assess the relationship between trust in government and e-participation.

Main Methods:

Quantitative methodology with 1000 samples from various Nigerian local governments.
Statistical analysis of data collected through surveys.
Inquiry into e-government platform availability, social media e-governance, and e-participation levels.

Main Results:

E-government adoption levels vary significantly across Nigerian local government authorities.
Infrastructure limitations, institutional capacity, and political will are key influencing factors.
High levels of participation via social media were observed, but trust in government showed minimal correlation with e-participation.

Conclusions:

E-government implementation in Nigeria faces challenges related to infrastructure and governance.
Social media platforms are widely used for e-participation, independent of high government trust.
Strategies are needed to enhance e-government effectiveness and sustainability at the local level using social media.
