Schadenfreude scholarly research
This study employs a bibliometric network analysis to examine schadenfreude in scholarly research. The Web of Science (WoS) database was used to extract 264 peer-reviewed schadenfreude articles written by 533 authors representing 33 countries over thirty years (1993–2022). The aim was to identify the key scholars, major journals, and collaborative networks. Emerging trends or “hotspots” in schadenfreude research were also identified. The findings…
A Psychometric Evaluation of the Saudi Version of the Multidimensional Aversion to Women Who Work Scale (MAWWWS)
Gender roles and attitudes are often based on negative stereotypes and prejudice. The multidimensional aversion to women who work scale (MAWWWS; Valentine, 2001 ) was developed to assess both women’s employment skepticism and traditional role preferences. The present study uses both classical testing theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT) to examine the psychometric properties of the Saudi version of the MAWWWS, which was first standardized …
Beyond Theory
Behavioral science confronts the issue of how people’s behaviors differ from what they intend to do. However, current models, such as the theory of planned behavior, are insufficient to account for contextual influences and interdisciplinary effects, especially in the case of modern social phenomena. The majority of studies concentrate on single domains (e.g., health and consumer behavior) and employ manual coding schemes, overlooking essential t…

The articles were retrieved from Scopus database and were authored by 3229 scholars. The findings suggest that there is an exponential growth of scholarly articles in journalism ethics research, especially during the last decade. The study also ident…

Mining halal food search pathways down the Wikipedia’s rabbit hole
Wikipedia has grown to be the biggest online encyclopedia in terms of comprehensiveness, reach, and coverage. However, although different websites and social network platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit have received considerable academic attention, Wikipedia has largely gone unnoticed. This is surprising given the fact that Wikipedia is the fifth most-widely visited website. In this study, we fill this research gap by investigating ha…
Global halal food discourse on social media
No previous studies have explored the distinct role played by halal food discourse on social media. This study fills this research gap by investigating the structure, dynamics and sentiments related to halal food tweets using methods borrowed from text mining and social network analytics. Based on sample of 11,700 world-wide random tweets, we used both the NRC and the AFINN lexicons to gauge worldwide sentiments towards halal food. Although resul…
The Arab Image in Spanish Social Media
Intercultural relations scholars have recently focused on investigating the impact of the news coverage and the media on society in general. However, although social media have become a valuable resource for mining opinions, there are no previous studies investigating the Arab image sentiments expressed on social media. This study fills this gap through the analysis of a random sample of 26,905 tweets dealing with the Arab image in Spanish tweets…

A spatial econometric analysis of residential land prices in Kuwait
Land price mapping has recently drawn considerable attention from academics and practitioners alike. This paper investigates the factors influencing residential land prices in a rather underrepresented part of the world. Owing to land prices’ spatial association and heterogeneity, the study uses both traditional and Bayesian spatial regression techniques to test the impact of population density, the percentage of Kuwaitis among the total populati…
Concern For Global Warming In Six Islamic Nations
The aim of this paper is to investigate factors influencing concern for global warming among six Islamic nations (Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Indonesia and Malaysia). Due to the hierarchical nature of the data, the study uses multilevel and Bayesian multilevel modeling to cross‐culturally test the influence of nations“ wealth, CO 2 emissions, post‐materialistic tendencies, religiosity, political orientation and locus of control on concern for…

Visualizing the Influence of Geography, Oil and Geopolitics on Civil Wars in the Arab World
The aim of this paper is to investigate why some internal conflicts are terminated quickly, while others linger for several decades without a looming resolution in the horizon. In an attempt to achieve this objective, the role played by geopolitical factors in the Arab world's internal conflicts was investigated. More specifically, we used Kohonen self-organizing maps, an artificial intelligence-based neural network technique, along with event du…
Does globalisation affect consumers' pro-environmental intentions? A multilevel analysis across 25 countries
The aim of this paper is to empirically evaluate whether the process of globalisation, through which countries become increasingly interconnected, is related to pro-environmental intentions. Due to the hierarchical nature of the data, the study uses a multilevel modelling approach to cross-culturally test the impact of globalisation on pro-environmental intentions. Using an updated indicator of globalisation, the results from 25 nations show that…
Wealth, Post-materialism and Consumers' Pro-environmental Intentions
This research aims to test Inglehart's thesis regarding the relationship between post-materialist values, wealth of nations and environmental intentions as measured by willingness to sacrifice to protect the environment. Due to the hierarchical nature of the data, the study uses multilevel and Bayesian multilevel modeling to cross-culturally test Inglehart's thesis. The results from 25 nations contradict Inglehart's thesis, which claims that envi…
Perceived barriers to organizational creativity
Purpose The overall purpose of this research is to further the understanding of how future marketing managers in Egypt and the UK perceive creativity barriers. The paper also examines the construct validity of the barriers to creativity scale in an Arab non‐Western context. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 125 respondents was used to achieve the research purpose. Respondents completed a 17‐item instrument designed to assess barriers to cre…
A hierarchical analysis of the green consciousness of the Egyptian consumer
This study investigates the influence of various cultural values and psychological factors on the green purchase behavior of Egyptian consumers. Using a large sample of 1093 consumers, a conceptual model has been developed. The survey results provide reasonable support for the validity of the proposed model. Specifically, the findings from the structural equation model confirm the influence of the consumers' natural environment orientation, ecolo…
Gender differences in Egyptian consumers’ green purchase behaviour
This study investigates the influence of three cognitive and attitudinal factors on gender differences in green purchase behaviour. Using a large sample size ( n = 1093), a survey has been developed and administered across Egypt. The findings from the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) confirm the influence of consumers’ ecological knowledge, concern and attitude on gender differences in green purchase behaviour. Consistent with previous …
Strategic preparation for crisis management in hospitals
This study examines Egyptian managers' perceptions of their hospitals' preparation for crisis management. A total of 259 participants completed a 24‐item Strategic Preparation for Crisis Management (SPCM) instrument. The instrument was found to be valid and reliable in a non‐Western context. The study detected a positive relationship between long‐term strategy and crisis readiness. A significant statistical relationship was also found between ext…

Attitudes towards women who work in Egypt
This study investigates Egyptian society’s attitudes towards women who work held by a sample of 217 participants. The subjects completed the newly developed multidimensional aversion to women who work scale (MAWWWS). The study validates the scale in a non‐western context. The results reveal that, contrary to our expectation, Egyptian students have very similar attitudes towards women who work to those of the older generations. There are significa…
