The impact of virtual interaction on consumers' pro-environmental behaviors: The mediating role of platform intimacy and love for nature
Purpose Companies are increasingly designing pro-environmental games to motivate users to implement pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs). However, how different types of virtual interactions affect PEBs in pro-environmental games is not clear. Thus, the authors propose that two types of virtual interaction, interactions with game objects and interactions with other users, can induce platform intimacy and love for nature and that platform intimacy h…
Promoting eco-friendly advertising on social media: The fit between appeals and tie strength
Social media has become a popular platform for eco-friendly advertising. However, little is known about how a social media platform as a context influences the effectiveness of eco-friendly advertising. This study posits that the right match between eco-friendly advertising appeal and social media type can enhance advertising effectiveness. We initially divide social media into strong and weak tie types, where the core value of the former is to h…
Exploring motivation via three-stage travel experience: How to capture the hearts of Taiwanese family-oriented cruise tourists
The cruise market has significant potential for family travel as birth rates continue to decline. To explore the reasons behind family cruise travel, passenger needs, and the three stages of cruise travel experience (anticipation, participation, and recall), this study employs qualitative research and in-depth survey methods. The study’s findings indicate that motivations for joining family cruise travel include "new experiences," "desire for cru…
Association between sarcopenia and cognitive function in older Chinese adults: Evidence from the China health and retirement longitudinal study
Background Sarcopenia and cognitive impairment are the most common causes of disability in the aging population. The potential role of sarcopenia in the development of cognitive impairment remains poorly understood. A cross-sectional analysis was performed using nationally representative data to evaluate associations between sarcopenia and cognition in China. Methods We included 2,391 participants (35.63% female) who were at least 60 years of age…

The Iranian form of psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory
The Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI) is a new 60-item self-report scale developed to assess the specific components of psychological flexibility and inflexibility proposed in the Hexaflex model of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The present study sought to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the MPFI-60 in a community sample of 307 Iranian adults. The original study supported a 12-fact…
Perceived uniqueness: Locus of control, social exclusion, and choice
We examined the influence of locus of control on the relationship between social exclusion and preference for distinctive choices. Participants were 212 undergraduate students at a university in Central China, who completed measures of social exclusion, locus of control, choice, and perceived uniqueness. Results showed that participants who believed that the environment controlled their fate (external locus of control) preferred more distinctive …
What you are confident of determines your choices in context: Confidence in yourself versus in your ability
The notion that consumers' preference is constructed by decision context is well established. Two of such salient manifestations are compromise effect and attraction effect. Although literature has explored the moderators of these effects from the perspective of a decision maker, little is known about whether a significant difference exists between the effects of individual differences as a situational state and as a stable personality. This arti…
How Specific and General Self-Confidence Affect Assortment Decisions
By investigating the influences of 2 types of self-confidence, we tested the assumption that people always prefer a large assortment over a small one when offered a choice of 2 sizes of assortment. Participants were 194 students who were randomly assigned to a high or low specific self-esteem condition, a high or low general self-esteem condition, and a public or private social influence condition group. The results of our experiment demonstrated…
How online media synergy influences consumers’ purchase intention: A perspective from broadcast and interactive media
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the synergistic effects of online multimedia by categorizing it into online broadcast media (OBM) and online interactive media (OIM). Design/methodology/approach The authors used an online experiment method to manipulate the online message stimuli level (online media synergy and online single media repetition). Findings The results revealed that participants exposed to message stimuli of online medi…
Social Exclusion and Conspicuous Consumption: The Moderating Effect of Power State
Drawing on the compensation motivation of consumption, and the power, approach, and inhibition theory, we proposed that power state would moderate the effect of social exclusion on conspicuous consumption. We conducted a study with 223 undergraduate student participants to test our hypotheses. Results showed that individuals in a low-power state were more prone to conspicuous consumption when they were in social exclusion than when they were soci…
Validating a multidimensional perspective of brand equity on motivation, expectation, and behavioural intention: A practical examination of culinary tourism
This study presents a brand equity theory of culinary tourism by integrating behavioural theory with the mediation-moderation model. The culinary tourism brand-equity model underscores the value of tourists’ expectations as a means to enhance the effects of travel motivation on behavioural intention. This study empirically tests this theory using a sample of 513 foreign tourists and provides evidence that travel motivation mediates the relationsh…
Evaluating Completeness of Reporting in Behavioral Interventions Pilot Trials: A Systematic Survey
Purpose: This systematic survey evaluates the completeness of reporting in pilot and feasibility randomized controlled trials investigating behavioral interventions based on the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) extension for pilot trials. Methods: The authors searched Medline/Pubmed and randomly selected 100 articles from 2012 through 2016 to determine the proportion of reported CONSORT extension items. They examined study fac…
A Systematic Survey of Control Groups in Behavioral and Social Science Trials
Behavioral and social sciences randomized controlled trials (BSSTs) have a significant role in life sciences. Choosing an appropriate control or comparator group for BSSTs is critical, to provide true intervention effects. The objective of this study was to determine the types of control groups used in BSSTs, and the rationale provided to justify these choices. We conducted a systematic survey of BSST protocols published between January 2012 and …
Influence of Characteristics of the Internet of Things on Consumer Purchase Intention
We studied the mechanism of the influence of the Internet of Things (IOT) product characteristics on consumer purchase intention. The results of a survey of 360 consumers showed that 6 dimensions of IOT product characteristics influence purchase intention; namely connectivity, interactivity, telepresence, intelligence, convenience, and security. We found that customer experience was the key mediating variable in the relationship between IOT produ…

The Influence of Service Quality on Gamer Loyalty in Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games
In this study we investigated how different dimensions of service quality might influence the loyalty of customers in the context of online games. By studying the gamers of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), we tested our hypotheses using structural equation modeling techniques. We found that the service quality dimensions of privacy, effectiveness, and entertainment indirectly influence the loyalty of gamers through satis…
