However, the exploration of how marketing strategies should design social media content to influence behavioral intentions remains fairly inadequate, particularly within the tourism industry. This study is aimed at developing a model that includes the moderating, mediating, and configuration effects of tourism-related content (TRC) dimensions on TikTok to predict enjoyment and behavioral intention. This study employs a hybrid approach of structural equation modeling (SEM) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to test hypotheses and propositions using a sample of 319 participants who have experience watching TRC on TikTok and have the intention to visit the destinations presented in the content. The results from SEM confirm that content reliability and understandability significantly influence perceived enjoyment. Furthermore, visit intention is predicted to increase through the contributions of content understandability and perceived enjoyment. Insights from the mediating effect reveal that perceived enjoyment serves as a fully mediating factor between content understandability and visit intention. Moreover, the moderating effects of gender and frequency of use exhibit significant differences in their impacts on perceived enjoyment and visit intention. The outcomes of fsQCA confirm that various configurations of TRC dimensions and enjoyment provide valuable insights for designing content-marketing strategies. The consideration of different combinations of these constructs can impact behavioral intentions. This research makes significant contributions to both theory and marketing practice, as the comprehensive discussion of the combinations of configurations provides amplified insights into this study’s findings.</p>","PeriodicalId":36408,"journal":{"name":"Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":10.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/2764759","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141165029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study integrates human-computer interaction and marketing research to investigate the relationship between persuasive dialogue support (PDS), attitudinal loyalty (AL), and continuous-use intention (CI) in the context of WhatsApp. The study also examines the moderating role of four cultural dimensions: uncertainty avoidance (UA), power distance (PD), masculinity (MAS), and individualism (IND) in these relationships. Data was collected from 287 WhatsApp users in four countries, and the proposed theoretical model was tested using structural equation modelling (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that PDS has a direct positive impact on AL, which in turn leads to CI. The study also found that cultural differences can moderate the relationship between PDS and AL and between AL and CI. Therefore, app developers need to consider cultural differences when designing their products and implement persuasive design aspects to boost user loyalty and intention to use. To ensure optimal app performance in diverse cultural settings, developers should strike an appropriate balance between universal design principles and culturally sensitive adaptation.

Considering the first small-scale reports and studies that have emerged, claiming that ChatGPT is politically biased towards progressive and libertarian points of view, this contribution is aimed at providing further clarity on this subject. Although the concept of political bias and affiliation is hard to define, lacking an agreed-upon measure for its quantification, this contribution attempts to examine this issue by having ChatGPT respond to questions on commonly used measures of political bias. In addition, further measures for personality traits that have previously been linked to political affiliations were examined. More specifically, ChatGPT was asked to answer the questions posed by the political compass test as well as similar questionnaires that are specific to the respective politics of the G7 member states. These eight tests were repeated ten times each and indicate that ChatGPT seems to hold a bias towards progressive views. The political compass test revealed a bias towards progressive and libertarian views, supporting the claims of prior research. The political questionnaires for the G7 member states indicated a bias towards progressive views but no significant bias between authoritarian and libertarian views, contradicting the findings of prior reports. In addition, ChatGPT’s Big Five personality traits were tested using the OCEAN test, and its personality type was queried using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. Finally, the maliciousness of ChatGPT was evaluated using the Dark Factor test. These three tests were also repeated ten times each, revealing that ChatGPT perceives itself as highly open and agreeable, has the Myers-Briggs personality type ENFJ, and is among the test-takers with the least pronounced dark traits.</p>","PeriodicalId":36408,"journal":{"name":"Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":10.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/7115633","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141164923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As Generation Z represents the primary and frequent users of social media, understanding the factors influencing their behaviors regarding information seeking and avoidance on governmental social media platforms is essential (in China, the principal governmental social media platform is government microblogging). Employing the grounded theory methodology, 31 participants of Chinese Generation Z were recruited for the present study, and data were collected using an in-depth interview. The results showed that the factors influencing the information-seeking behavior of Generation Z towards government microblogging mainly include heuristic seeking factors (personal preference, emotional value, and following hot topics), systematic seeking factors (task demand and expert recommendation), and defensive seeking factors (defending stance, authority seeking, and impression management). The factors influencing the information avoidance behavior of Generation Z towards government microblogging mainly include heuristic avoidance factors (clickbait titles, content layout, excessive length, and high redundancy), systematic avoidance factors (selective ignorance and terminological density), and resource-limited avoidance factors (demand scarcity, time scarcity, and vitality scarcity).

A significant increase in cheating in online examinations (from 29.9% before COVID-19 to 54.7% during COVID-19, as per a recent survey) points out the necessity of online exam proctoring systems. Traditionally, educational institutes utilize different questions in onsite exams: multiple-choice questions (MCQs), analytical questions, descriptive questions, etc. For online exams, form-based exams using MCQs are popular though in disciplines like math, engineering, architecture, art, or other courses, paper and pen tests are typical for proper assessment. In form-based exams, students’ attention is toward display devices, and cheating behavior is identified as the deviation of head and eye gaze direction from the display device. In paper- and pen-based exams, students’ main attention is on the answer script not on the device. Identifying cheating behavior in such exams is not a trivial task since complex body movements need to be observed to identify cheating. Previous research works focused on the deviation of the head and eyes from the screen which is more suited for form-based exams. Most of them are very resource-intensive; along with a webcam, they require additional hardware such as sensors, microphones, and security cameras. In this work, we propose an automated proctoring solution for paper- and pen-based online exams considering specific requirements of pen-and-paper exams. Our approach tracks head and eye orientations and lip movements in each frame and defines the movement as the change of orientation. We relate cheating with frequent coordinated movements of the head, eyes, and lips. We calculate a cheating score indicative of the frequency of movements. A case is marked as a cheating case if the cheating score is higher than the proctor-defined threshold (which may vary depending on the specific requirement of the discipline). The proposed system has five major parts: (1) identification and coordinate extraction of selected facial landmarks using MediaPipe; (2) orientation classification of the head, eye, and lips with K-NN classifier, based on the landmarks; (3) identification of abnormal movements; (4) calculation of a cheating score based on abnormal movement patterns; and (5) a visual representation of students’ behavior to support the proctor for early intervention. Our system is robust since it observes the pattern of movement over a sequence of frames and considers the coordinated movement pattern of the head, eye, and lips rather than considering a single deviation as a cheating behavior which will minimize the false positive cases. Visualization of the student behavior is another strength of our system that enables the human proctor to take preventive measures rather than punishing the student for the final cheating score.
