Exploring the effects of personal and situational factors on cyber aggression
Antisocial behaviour by social media users has escalated, which in turn has created various socio-psychological implications for users and society at large. However, there is a paucity of empirical research on the concept of cyber aggression inclination (CAI) and its personal and situational antecedents in the context of social media. This study explores and measures the CAI of general social media users and examines the personal and situational …
Spatial influences on domains of life satisfaction in the UK
Multiple studies have identified an urban penalty on, and regional differences in, life satisfaction, but few studies compare the effects of both. This study applies a generalized ordered logit to data on residential location, region of the UK and two different life satisfaction measures. Overall, the regional effect outweighs the rural effect. A stable rural premium for life satisfaction is found; for satisfaction with leisure, though, the effec…
Do Self‐employment Rates Converge? Evidence from European OECD Countries
This article uses panel data methods for stationary and non‐stationary data to examine whether self‐employment rates converge for 21 OECD European countries from 1990 to 2011 (the period covered by the COMPENDIA database). This article shows that there is a process of conditional convergence of self‐employment rates particularly within Southern, Northern and Western Europe. These regional groups were characterized by a decreasing trend in their a…
Do arts audiences act like consumers?
This article investigates the extent to which arts audiences' behaviour conforms to the predictions of consumer behaviour theory. The discussion focuses on three established empirical ‘laws’ of consumer behaviour: repertoire buying, double jeopardy and duplication of purchase. Although these laws are well established, they have not previously been applied to arts audiences. All three of these patterns emerge from a national survey of arts partici…
Modelling patterns of attendance at performing arts events
Studies of demand for or attendance at performing arts events have tended to focus on a single art form at a time. There is, however, a significant overlap between audiences for different arts events. Findings in the arts sociology literature suggest that audiences are made up of different behavioural segments: omnivores and univores. Using data from the Taking Part survey, this article identifies four segments of the audience for live music with…
The Lure of the Multiplex? The Interplay of Time, Distance, and Cinema Attendance
Models of cinema demand have tended to employ aggregate data and focus on price and income as key variables. Surprisingly, the effects of travel time and location have not been formally investigated. The authors do so, following developments in the environmental economics literature, by presenting estimates of individual travel cost models for multiplex and nonmultiplex cinemas. A key finding is that travel time has a significant negative effect …
