General Attitudes and Beliefs About Love
Week 6 A:
WEEK 6 B:
Introduction
So what is your love style? Your authors discussed several types of love in the text, including John Lee’s six love types. The Love Attitude Scale, created by Clyde Hendrick and Susan Hendrick, measures your attitudes about each of the styles.
Directions
For each of the following statements, write the number (1-5) that most nearly describes your attitude or belief. Some of the items refer to a specific love relationship, while others refer to general attitudes and beliefs about love. Whenever possible, answer the questions with your current partner in mind. If you are not currently dating anyone, answer the questions with your most recent partner in mind. If you have never been in love, answer in terms of what you think your responses would most likely be.
For even more insight, make a copy of the questions and have your current partner complete them also. Answer the questions independently of each other and then compare your scores.
After looking at your style, type a paragraph in which you answer the following questions:
- Does these scores surprise you? Why or why not?
- What would you consider the advantages and disadvantages of these styles to be?
- What styles do you think would be most common in adolescence? Early adulthood? Adulthood? Why?
The code for the rating to be used for each statement is as follows:
SD = STRONGLY disagree; D = Disagree; N = Neutral; A = Agree; SA = STRONGLY agree
SD D N A SA

94 Integrated Case of Excel & ACCESS on Boat Marina
Project Case: An Integrated Case of Excel & ACCESS on Boat Marina
- Analyzing Information Needs
Molly Mackenzie Marina is a resort and hospitality company based on Lake Merewether in the Midwest. The company mainly rents cabins, a variety of watercraft, and boat slips to the visitors. Currently, daily operational data and information of the company are captured and managed with manual-based information system. It needs to develop electronic database to track and capture customer and business data and information to support its operation and decision-making. Molly Mackenzie Marina needs information regarding customers, rental property, rental reservations, and rental payments to support its regular operation and internal operational & strategic decision-making.
Customer information regarding type (across age, gender, and class type), purchase time, sales from customers etc. will enable company to understand customers purchase behavior, service preference, purchase timing, purchase frequency etc. and make strategic decisions i.e. designing offers and services, undertaking marketing strategies, providing promotional offers etc. having a customer database in system, service employee at front desk can drag (automatic synchronization) customer basic information in order processing. Rental property information including property condition (type, age etc.), property rent, occupancy status etc. will help company in strategic decision making and daily operation. Strategic decisions include property purchase decision, property modification, property replacement (based on assets age and condition) etc.. Regarding supporting to daily operation, property database information instant let to know occupancy condition of property, rental rate from the operational system module and process customers’ purchase order immediately. Rental reservation information will help company execute customers’ orders and manage services. During order taking, if property reservations information readily available to transaction module screen availability check (occupancy) can be easily made and orders can be executed very fast. Based on the reservation information logistic arrangement can be made easily for cabins, watercrafts, and boat slips. Rental reservation information will help to review the average length of stay, frequency of orders, popularity of specific category and sub-category of service etc. and make strategic decisions. Rental payment information will help company in both- strategic decision making and daily operation. Rental payment information can be synchronized to property type information to assess profitability across properties and take products/services continuation or discontinuation decisions. Rental payment information will help in collection of remaining amount due from customers when they check out.
- Design
ACCESS Design
Information regarding average length of stay by cabin rental customers, frequency of watercrafts rented, and average length of stay by watercrafts can be obtained through MS ACCESS query. In this case, all customers’ data and information will be dragged (synchronized) from transaction processing software package of Molly Mackenzie Marina. Then multiple queries will be made to search and compile data across customer types, time of reservations of each property, and reservations time. The customer types, time of reservations of each property, and reservations time will represented in the MS ACCESS interface when queries will be performed. In these data based we will use COUNTIF Function to find average length of stay for cabin rental customers and watercrafts customers. How frequently are watercrafts rented can be reviewed by calculating average vacancy time of the watercrafts through COUNTIF Function.
EXCEL Design
Information regarding average sales and total for each product category and product within each category for June Month can be obtained and pie chart comparing the revenue by property category can be generated through MS EXCEL. Information regarding average sales and total for each product category and product within each category for June month can be generated through PIVOT Table feature. In PIVOT Table, product categories will be dragged to COLUME area, customer’s payment will be dragged to ROW categories, and month will be dragged to FILTER area to generate PIVOT Table. In the PIVOT table Information regarding average sales and total for each product category and product within each category for June can be obtained by filtering JUNE month. Pie chart comparing the revenue by property category can be generated through information with PIVOT TABLE. From the PIVOT table aggregate revenue by products can be displayed by minimizing subcategories revenue information. Then INSERT pie can be employed to generate pie chart for visual representation of revenue by property category.
III. Database and Spreadsheet Implementations
- Conclusion
