Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, computers and the Internet have become an important part of modern societies. These technologies have influenced almost all aspects of daily life; from education to communication, from entertainment to business. Along with the spread of the Internet use, the acceptance of online shopping has been growing, especially in the developed parts of the world. However, electronic commerce is still in its infancy in developing countries. In this study, the author explored positive attitudes of undergraduate students toward online shopping and examined the association between positive attitudes of undergraduate students toward online shopping and their demographics variables: gender, age and income. And attitudes of online shoppers and non-online shoppers toward online shopping were compared. Participants of this study were undergraduate business students in a public university in Turkey. A paper-based questionnaire was used containing five-point Likert type scale to explore students' attitudes toward online shopping. A total of 314 students voluntarily participated to the study. It is found that in general participants have positive attitudes toward online shopping. Online shoppers have more positive attitudes than non-online shoppers toward online shopping. Generally male students have more positive attitudes toward online shopping than female counterparts. There is a positive correlation between income level and positive attitude toward online shopping; as monthly family income increases, participants have more positive attitudes toward online shopping.

Download or read book The Effects of Consumers Online Shopping Goals and Their Characteristics on Perceived Interactivity and Shopping Behaviors written by Pin-Wuan Lin and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to examine how consumers' characteristics and their shopping goals influence their perceptions on interactivity of the website; further, the relationship between consumers' perceived interactivity and behaviors was investigated. A questionnaire was given to 82 college female students at the University of Missouri-Columbia. ANOVA and correlations analysis were used to test the hypothesis. The results supported the positive relationship between the levels of perceived interactivity, purchasing intentions, revising intentions, and attitudes toward the website as pervious studies. What is more, the results of this study indicated that consumers who have different personality perceived different levels of interactivity from Adidas' My Virtual Model website. This study also implies that consumers who tend to be utilitarians may have higher purchasing intentions, revisiting intentions, and positive attitudes toward Adidas' My Virtual Model website because they perceived higher interactivity than consumers who tend to be hedonists.

Download or read book The Construction of Preference written by Sarah Lichtenstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-08-28 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the main themes that has emerged from behavioral decision research during the past three decades is the view that people's preferences are often constructed in the process of elicitation. This idea is derived from studies demonstrating that normatively equivalent methods of elicitation (e.g., choice and pricing) give rise to systematically different responses. These preference reversals violate the principle of procedure invariance that is fundamental to all theories of rational choice. If different elicitation procedures produce different orderings of options, how can preferences be defined and in what sense do they exist? This book shows not only the historical roots of preference construction but also the blossoming of the concept within psychology, law, marketing, philosophy, environmental policy, and economics. Decision making is now understood to be a highly contingent form of information processing, sensitive to task complexity, time pressure, response mode, framing, reference points, and other contextual factors.

This book was released on 2023-02-12 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who doesn't love shopping? Of course, most of us. Evolution of internet and digitalization in all walks of life have created a paradigm shift in shopping patterns from bricks and mortar to online shopping. Though consumers have started welcoming and adopting this new phenomenon but still the move is not in its full swing. Consumers are somewhat reluctant to use it as they are facing various kinds of obstacles. Since consumers are central point of any business to achieve success, it is imperative to analyze and understand consumers behavior and attitudes to make them satisfied. The book makes an attempt to assess the web-based shopping behavior of consumers in India. Specifically it presents a clear picture of concerns and issues that exist in the adoption of online shopping. The main objective of this study is to explore major factors which consumers consider while making online purchases and to expose the factors which create hindrance to online shopping. The present work is a modified version of author's research work for which she has been awarded a Doctorate degree by Department of Business Administration, University of Kota.

Download or read book Online Impulse Buying and Cognitive Dissonance written by Giovanni Mattia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumers’ beliefs and attitudes towards online sales significantly influence buying behavior on the internet. However, the impact of these thoughts and beliefs on the decision to make an online purchase is not direct. It can be moderated by the emotions experienced while browsing an e-commerce website. Impulse buying in particular is influenced by a number of factors, for example how stimulating the e-shopping platform is, and how easy it is to click on the cart a certain product, for instance a smartphone. But what happens after an online impulse buy is made? Often the customer can regret the purchase and in the throes of anxiety, look for reasons to justify the choices made. Consumer behaviour scholars and pyschologists call this phenomenon cognitive dissonance, and certain individuals are more sensitive than others in developing this than others. This book offers a deep investigation around online impulse buying and subsequent cognitive dissonance. Specifically, the authors present a research case study of a group of millenials who are shopping for smartphones to study whether an initial positive state can reduce the onset of cognitive dissonance in consumers. Based on substantial research and a sample of 212 impulsive millennial buyers, the book provides a comprehensive, but simple and synthetic framework of impulse buying, cognitive dissonance and positive affect state, highlighting their relationships.

Download or read book Effect of Online Review Modality on Online Shoppers Attitude and Behavior written by Mengtian Jiang and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The online review function has become a common part of online retail websites. Nowadays, many online retailers allow consumers to upload images and videos along with their text reviews. Yet, there is limited study of the effects of single-modality or multi-modality reviews. Based on the Dual Coding Theory and Stimulus - Organism - Response framework, this study examines the effects of review modality, review valence and the interaction between review modality and review valence on perceived review quality, attitudes towards the product, attitudes towards the e-Retailer, and purchase intention. Three hundred and forty-seven online shoppers participated in a 3 (Review Modality: text only vs. text with picture vs. text with video) {u00D7} 2 (Review Valence: positive vs. negative) experiment. The study generates four major findings: 1) Text with picture reviews and text with video reviews generate the most favorable attitude towards the product and text with video reviews generate the most favorable attitude towards the e-Retailer. 2) Review modality influences purchase intention through the affective states (attitude towards the product and attitude towards the e-Retailer), instead of cognitive states (perceived review quality). 3) Positive reviews generate more positive attitudes towards the product than negative reviews, while attitudes towards the e-Retailers remain positive regardless of review valence. 4) No significant interaction effect between review modality and review valence is identified on the attitudes towards the product or the e-Retailer. The study discusses limitations, and provides managerial implications for online marketers and directions for future studies. -- Abstract.

The aim of this study was to examine the adoption of online shopping and online shopping for clothing in particular and factors influencing the intention to purchase clothing online. A quantitative research method was used and a questionnaire designed on the website www.surveymonkey.com and then distributed by sending out the link leading to the survey via facebook and emails. 94 useful questionnaires were gathered from female and male UK students. SPSS 17 was used to analyse the collected data by conducting chi-square tests and Spearman’s rho correlation tests to examine the relation between different variables. The constructs of the technology acceptance model (TAM) were used as a framework and basis for this research and were extended by further constructs. Therefore, the impact of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, prior online shopping experience, perceived risk and product involvement on the intention to purchase clothing online was analysed. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and prior online shopping experience had positive effects on the intention to purchase clothing online. Perceived risk had a negative effect on the intention to purchase clothing online. These findings supported the hypotheses. Other than hypothesised, clothing product involvement did not have a significant positive effect on the intention to purchase clothing online.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advertising, materialism and consumption are central aspects of contemporary Western culture. We are bombarded with idealised images of the perfect body, desirable consumer goods, and affluent lifestyles, yet psychology is only just beginning to take account of the profound influence these consumer culture ideals have on individuals’ sense of identity and worth. Consumer Culture, Identity, and Well-Being documents the negative psychological impact consumer culture can have on how individuals view themselves and on their emotional welfare. It looks at the social psychological dimensions of having, buying and wanting material goods, as well as the pursuit of media-hyped appearance ideals. In particular, it focuses on: the purchasing of material goods as a means of expressing and seeking identity, and the negative consequences of this psychological buying motivations in conventional buying environments and on the Internet the unrealistic socio-cultural beauty ideals embodied by idealized models. Throughout, different approaches from social psychology are integrated, such as self-completion, self-discrepancy and value theory, to create a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding the impact of internalising core consumer culture ideals on how individuals see themselves and the implications this has for their psychological and physical health. This book is of interest to anybody who wants to find out more about the psychological effects of living in modern consumer societies on children, adolescents, and adults. More specifically, it will be of interest to students and researchers in social psychology, sociology, media studies, communication and other social sciences, as well as to psychologists, health workers, and practitioners interested in the topics of identity, consumption pathologies, body image, and body-related behaviours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the 2016 election upheaval and polarized public discourse in the United States and the rise of radical-right and populist parties across the globe, a new phenomenon in online charitable giving has emerged – donating motivated by rage. This Element defines this phenomenon, discusses its meaning amidst the current body of research and knowledge on emotions and charitable giving, the implications of viral fundraising and increased social media use by both donors and nonprofit organizations, the intersectionality of rage giving and its meaning for practitioners and nonprofit organizations, the understanding of giving as a form of civic engagement, and the exploration of philanthropy as a tool for social movements and social change. Previous research shows contextual variation in charitable giving motivations; however, giving motivated by feelings of anger and rage is an unstudied behavioral shift in online giving.
