Behavioral Intention to Continue Using a Library Mobile App

To meet the needs of today’s library users,institutions are developing library mobile apps(LMAs),as their libraries are increasingly intelligent and rely on deep learning.This paper explores the influencing factors and differences in the perception of LMAs at different time points after a user has downloaded an LMA.A research model was constructed based on the technology acceptance model.A questionnaire was designed and distributed twice to LMA users with an interval of three months to collect dynamic data.The analysis was based on structural equation modeling.The empirical results show that the perceived ease of use,the perceived usefulness,the social influence,and the facilitating conditions affected the users’behavioral intention,but their impacts were different at different times.As the usage time increases,the technology acceptance model is still universal for understanding the user perception of LMA.In addition,two extended variables(social impact and convenience)also affect the user’s behavior intention.User behavior is dynamic and changed over time.This study is important both theoretically and practically,as the results could be used to improve the service quality of LMAs and reduce the loss rate of users.Its findings may help the designers and developers of LMAs to optimize them from the perspective of a user and improve the service experience by providing a deeper understanding of the adoption behavior of information systems by LMA users.

Trust beyond Technology Algorithms: A Theoretical Exploration of Consumer Trust and Behavior in Technological Consumption and AI Projects

In an era dominated by artificial intelligence (AI), establishing customer confidence is crucial for the integration and acceptance of AI technologies. This interdisciplinary study examines factors influencing customer trust in AI systems through a mixed-methods approach, blending quantitative analysis with qualitative insights to create a comprehensive conceptual framework. Quantitatively, the study analyzes responses from 1248 participants using structural equation modeling (SEM), exploring interactions between technological factors like perceived usefulness and transparency, psychological factors including perceived risk and domain expertise, and organizational factors such as leadership support and ethical accountability. The results confirm the model, showing significant impacts of these factors on consumer trust and AI adoption attitudes. Qualitatively, the study includes 35 semi-structured interviews and five case studies, providing deeper insight into the dynamics shaping trust. Key themes identified include the necessity of explainability, domain competence, corporate culture, and stakeholder engagement in fostering trust. The qualitative findings complement the quantitative data, highlighting the complex interplay between technology capabilities, human perceptions, and organizational practices in establishing trust in AI. By integrating these findings, the study proposes a novel conceptual model that elucidates how various elements collectively influence consumer trust in AI. This model not only advances theoretical understanding but also offers practical implications for businesses and policymakers. The research contributes to the discourse on trust creation and decision-making in technology, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary efforts to address societal challenges associated with technological advancements. It lays the groundwork for future research, including longitudinal, cross-cultural, and industry-specific studies, to further explore consumer trust in AI.

Where Do I Go to Treat Me?Factors That Influence Users’Behavioral Intention

The aim of this paper is to analyze how some specific factors can impact on attitudes towards usage(ATU),and effect on behavioral intention(BI),when the potential medical tourist carries out the medical tourist destination information sourcing process.Specifically,we considered electronic word of mouth communication(eWOM),trust(TRT),perceived usefulness(PU),and perceived ease of use(PEOU).The data were collected from 698 experienced users participating in a tourism thematic Facebook group.The results state that being social media an effective channel to share contents among users,the more expert users are more influenced in the behavioural intention of choosing medical tourism destinations and trust is the variables with the strongest influence on attitude,which affects users’behavioural intention towards the use of Facebook to find information on medical tourism destination.These results contribute to the scientific debate on users’behavior in utilizing social media to find information for a medical tourism destination and provide support to the marketing and communication strategies of medical tourism practitioners.

A Study on the Relationships Between Brand Experience,Perceived Value,and Behavioral Intention

Brand experience is essential in shaping the competitive advantage and sustainability of theme park attractions.Using Shanghai Disneyland as a reference case,this study examined the relationships among brand experience,perceived value,satisfaction,and behavioral intention.And their relationship is the key point for the sustainable development of theme park market.This study constituted the relationship path theory mode of hypothesis between brand experience,perceived value,satisfactory,behavior intention.The key findings of this study revealed that the brand experience of theme park has significant positive impact on perceived value and satisfaction.In that,thoughts have no significant impact on emotional value and societal value.Similarly,functional experience has no significant impact on recreational value.Subsequently,perceived value has significant positive impact on satisfaction.And lastly,satisfaction has significant positive impact on tourist behavioral intention.The findings of this study may offer constructive bases to the management of Shanghai Disneyland and other theme park attractions of similar nature in formulating policies and marketing strategies.

A Study on the Path Mechanism of Para-social Interaction and Place Attachment on Film-Induced Tourists’Behavioral Intention

Under the influence of celebrity effect and para-social interaction,film is increasingly able to induce viewers’willingness to travel.Based on the theory of para-social interaction and the factors of place attachment,this study constructs a model of the influence mechanism of film-induced tourists’behavioral intention and puts relevant hypotheses.Taking the film A Little Red Flower as an example,the empirical test is carried out by using structural equation model(SEM).The results show that:(1)Film-induced tourists’emotional involvement has a significant positive impact on tourism behavioral involvement,but has no direct and significant impact on place dependence and place identity.(2)Film-induced tourists’behavioral involvement has a significant positive impact on place dependence and place identity.(3)Both place dependence and place identity of film-induced tourists have significant positive impact on tourism behavioral intention.Therefore,film tourism destinations should show the unique local conditions and customs according to the preference of fans and audiences,with the help of the popularity of film,so as to improve their tourism behavior intention.

A New Behavior-Assisted Semantic Recognition Method for Smart Home

In the recent Smart Home(SH)research work,intelligent service recommendation technique based on behavior recognition,it has been extensively preferred by researchers.However,most current research uses the Semantic recognition to construct the user’s basic behavior model.This method is usually restricted by environmental factors,the way these models are built makes it impossible for them to dynamically match the services that might be provided in the user environment.To solve this problem,this paper proposes a Semantic behavior assistance(Semantic behavior assistance,SBA).By joining the semantic model on the intelligent gateway,building an SA model,in this way,a logical Internet networks for smart home is established.At the same time,a behavior assistant method based on SBA model is proposed,among them,the user environment-related entities,sensors,devices,and user-related knowledge models exist in the logical interconnection network of the SH system through the semantic model.In this paper,the data simulation experiment is carried out on the method.The experimental results show that the SBA model is better than the knowledge-based pre-defined model.

Developing an Extended Theory of Planned Behavior Model for Small E-Waste Recycling:An Analysis of Consumer Behavior Determinants

WEEE(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment),also called e-waste,has become the world’s fastest-growing waste stream but only has a 17.4%recycling rate according to the Global E-waste Monitor 2020.The collection rate for sWEEE(Small WEEE),e.g.,used mobile phones,is even lower than 10%due to stockpiling at home and improper disposal via the general waste or private informal channels.The purpose of this paper was to(a)review how the TPB(Theory of Planned Behavior)was applied in the literature related to consumer behavioral intention for WEEE recycling and determine the most significant TPB predictors by comparing their standardized influence coefficients across various studies,and(b)identify additional behavior determinants specific to sWEEE recycling and thus develop a new TPB-sWEEE theoretical framework by integrating the TPB model with these new determinants in order to improve the predictability of consumers’sWEEE recycling behavioral intention.This paper reviewed over 30 peer-reviewed studies from Scopus and high impact factor journals and led to the following three key findings:(a)More variables of recycling behavioral intention determinants such as the size of WEEE need to be considered;(b)Eight sWEEE-specific behavioral determinants have been identified and included in the newly developed TPB-sWEEE model,including consumers’Sentimental Attachment,Data Security Concern,Economic Incentives,and How-to Knowledge;(c)For some sWEEE-specific determinants,their extent of influence differs across various regions and countries.This paper contributes to the sWEEE-specific consumer recycling behavior theoretical framework to fill the existing gap in the literature and provides recommendations through the new model for research-based behavioral intervention strategies and policy designs globally.

Factors influencing academic library users' intention to use mobile systems: A comparison of current users and potential adopters

Purpose: The study intends to examine the factors influencing the behavioral intention to use academic libraries’ mobile systems from the perspective of current users and potential adopters, respectively. Design/methodology/approach: Our study investigates the mobile library system’s acceptance by using a context-specific extension of the theory of reasoned action(TRA) and the technology acceptance model(TAM), which includes such factors as mobile self-efficacy, personal innovativeness and perceived playfulness. Structural equation modeling was used to test the validity of the proposed model based on the empirical data which was collected from 210 questionnaire survey participants.Findings: The result shows that 1) for both current users and potential adopters, attitude toward use and subjective norm both have a significant and positive impact on behavioral intention to use; 2) perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are significantly correlated to potential adopters’ attitude toward use whereas perceived usefulness and perceived playfulness are significantly related to current users’ attitude toward use; 3) as for the comparison between the two groups of users, personal innovativeness not only affects perceived usefulness of both current users and potential adopters, but also affects potential adopters’ perceived playfulness positively. Mobile self-efficacy has a significant effect on perceived ease of use for both types of users.Research limitations: Although the sample size met the basic statistics requirements for the social research, the participants were mainly college students, and other mobile system users like faculty members and researchers were not investigated. In addition, some influencing factors, such as information quality, system quality and service quality were not considered in the research model.Practical implications: This study reveals main factors which influence both current users and potential adopters’ intention to use the mobile system, providing academic libraries withinsights into management strategies to offer customized mobile services to different types of users. Originality/value: Previous studies did not distinguish current users from potential adopters, which is not conducive for academic libraries to provide customized services and attract potential users. We presented an exploratory study to address this issue.

帮助信息网络犯罪活动罪的入罪限制

近两三年来,帮助信息网络犯罪活动罪的数量出现大幅度上升的趋势,有口袋化之嫌。本罪的规范属性是帮助行为正犯化,该帮助行为确具有独立性,但是只承认独立性容易滥用该罪名,从属性是帮助行为固有的属性,对本罪的研究不可忽视该属性。以帮助行为的从属性为出发点对本罪的构成要件进行合理解释,该帮助行为不包括间接帮助和主观模糊的中立帮助行为。明知的时间节点,在帮助对象着手实施犯罪之后,实行行为结束之前成立,谨慎适用明知的推定,禁止根据推定的事实进行再次推定,允许提出合理怀疑。同时,遵循情节严重双重限制的标准,贯彻情节严重限制入罪的机能。

意义世界中的儿童行为表现概念及其意涵

行为表现是教育实践中的常见用语。教育实践者通常是在规范和实证的立场来使用这一概念,由此使得概念的使用者往往将儿童与其行为、儿童与概念的使用者切割开来,造成教育者在实践中的目中无人。对表现概念的意涵重释,特别是不同学科关于表现概念的界定,使得我们能够重新发现行为表现概念所内含的意义世界,从而启发一种关于行为表现的新的教育哲学,即儿童的行为即是儿童的表现,是儿童精神世界和意义世界借助行为的外显化。儿童借助行为而表现出来的意义,是在特定情境中与教育者共同建构的结果。意义世界中的儿童行为表现概念意味着,教育实践并非单纯实践性的,它同时也是理论性的。教育实践的理论性主要体现为教育者必须要对儿童行为所表现出来的意义世界作出准确的理解。

Critical Factors for Personal Cloud Storage Adoption in China

Purpose： In order to explain and predict the adoption of personal cloud storage, this study explores the critical factors involved in the adoption of personal cloud storage and empirically validates their relationships to a user＇s intentions.Design/methodology/approach： Based on technology acceptance model（TAM）, network externality, trust, and an interview survey, this study proposes a personal cloud storage adoption model. We conducted an empirical analysis by structural equation modeling based on survey data obtained with a questionnaire.Findings： Among the adoption factors we identified, network externality has the salient influence on a user＇s adoption intention, followed by perceived usefulness, individual innovation, perceived trust, perceived ease of use, and subjective norms. Cloud storage characteristics are the most important indirect factors, followed by awareness to personal cloud storage and perceived risk. However, although perceived risk is regarded as an important factor by other cloud computing researchers, we found that it has no significant influence. Also, subjective norms have no significant influence on perceived usefulness. This indicates that users are rational when they choose whether to adopt personal cloud storage.Research limitations： This study ignores time and cost factors that might affect a user＇s intention to adopt personal cloud storage.Practical implications： Our findings might be helpful in designing and developing personal cloud storage products, and helpful to regulators crafting policies.Originality/value： This study is one of the first research efforts that discuss Chinese users＇ personal cloud storage adoption, which should help to further the understanding of personal cloud adoption behavior among Chinese users.

竞赛过失伤害行为的类型重构与刑事责任法理探究

我国对竞赛过失伤害行为的刑事责任研究仍显薄弱,原因是现有的分类方式不能为刑事责任的法理研究提供理想的分类模型,以此找出罪与非罪的理由进行详细探讨。因此,需要在确立其行为的构成要件后对其内容展开讨论,根据竞赛违规目的与过失伤害行为、竞赛违规心理与犯罪过失心理2对关系进行类型的重构,将其分为纯粹的竞赛过失伤害行为与故意的竞赛过失伤害行为。纯粹的竞赛过失伤害行为虽然具有违法性,但满足刑法在体育行业发展过程中的谦抑需要,且兼具责任能力减弱的条件,因而不具有刑事可罚性。故意的竞赛过失伤害行为因违反保护其他运动员的义务,具有适法的期待可能性,违反竞技体育精神,应当承担刑事责任。但是在量刑上,应优先考虑财产刑、有条件的缓刑等轻缓的手段。

财产犯的事后行为评价问题

关于事后行为的评价,日本有"不可罚"的事后行为论与"共罚"的事后行为论的分歧,德国存在构成要件论与竞合论的对立。殊途同归,都旨在说明事后行为是否具有构成要件该当性,意在解决前行为因为存在实体性的刑罚阻却事由或者诉讼法上的障碍时,能否以事后行为单独起诉、处罚。除事后销赃等个别情形外,通常应肯定事后行为的构成要件该当性,与前行为作为包括的一罪进行评价,因此,共罚的事后行为论及竞合论具有相对的合理性。

婴幼儿对合作行为共享性特征的理解

合作行为的共享性特征是指合作伙伴对彼此的动作和意图进行反应、承诺完成共同的目标、进行角色转换并支持彼此的角色。同时,预期未来奖赏的能力以及合作活动结束分享奖励的趋势也是互惠性合作活动的共享性本质之一。婴幼儿已经开始理解合作行为的共享性特征,他们能与同伴形成共享性意图和关于任务的共同目标;当同伴完成任务有困难时,能够主动提供帮助;能够理解自己和他人的角色;合作后更倾向于平等分享所得资源。本文从合作行为的共享性特征出发,基于合作中情绪和语言的作用、合作的对象以及合作的研究工具等方面提出未来的研究构想。

早期胡塞尔现象学对表象概念的澄清

伟大的现象学家胡塞尔早期是由布伦塔诺引领走上哲学道路的,但后来他毫不犹豫地批评了老师含混的表象概念,同时提出客体化行为的概念,并认为客体化行为才是意识体验的基本意向性结构。自此,胡塞尔继承并完善了布伦塔诺的意向性理论,完成了早期对意识意向性的探索,这为其从早期描述心理学转向行为现象学埋下了伏笔。

中立帮助行为无罪论

在我国,随着《刑法修正案(九)》的生效实施,以帮助信息网络犯罪活动罪为切入点,掀起了对中立帮助行为罪与非罪的论辩热潮。立法上对于该问题采取了谨慎的态度,例外地承认中立帮助行为的犯罪性。其实,中立帮助行为对法益侵害结果的发生既不存在物理的促进,也不具有心理的帮助;而且其行为也不是在帮助正犯的主观故意的心理支配下实施的。根据消极的责任主义原理,中立帮助行为人不应对法益侵害结果负责。于此,中立帮助行为不具有帮助犯性质,对其应当作无罪化处理。

Determinants of Tax Evasion Intention using the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Mediation role of Taxpayer Egoism

This study evaluates the mediation role of taxpayer egoism in the nexus between tax evasion intention(TEI)and its determinants.TEI is measured as a composite variable(for mediation in the PROCESS macro)and then as a latent variable(for mediation in Analysis of Moment Structure Software AMOS).Further,the stringent assumptions of mediation analysis by Baron and Kenny(Strategic,and Statistical Considerations 51:1173-1182,1986)are challenged via assertions by Hayes(Introduction to Mediation,Moderation and Conditional Process Analysis:A Regression-Based Approach,The Guilford Press,2018).The proxies for TEI are the respondents'ethical attitudes toward taxation Determinants of tax evasion intention are grouped into perceived behavioral control attitude and subjective norms as per theory of planned behavior(TPB)and extant literature.The detailed variables adopted from the literature include tax awareness,tax information,tax complexity,perceived power of authority,tax morals,tax fairness,and trust in government.A totalof 151 responses were collected Mediation analysis was done via bootstrapping in the PROCESS macro and through AMOS.A plethora of studies focus on determinants of tax evasion,tax compliance and their intentions However,none combine analysis via the two tools highlighted.Further,few challenge the old way of conducting mediation analysis The data provide statistical support for egoism's mediation in the effect of four determinants on tax evasion intention.It further confirms that many of the old preconditions for mediation are unnecessary given modern-day bootstrapping analysis.Insight into determinants of TEI and egoism have been provided However,this study uses cross-sectional data Future studies must use longitudinal data or experimental manipulation to infer more specific effects.

Factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination intention among university students:A cross-sectional study in Malaysia

Vaccination is crucial in controlling the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)that triggered the pandemic,but herd immunity can only work with high vaccination coverage in the population.This study aims to measure the COVID-19 knowledge level and determine the factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination intention among university students in Malaysia.A cross-sectional online survey was carried out with 1,274 Malaysian university students in July 2021.Univariate and multivariate analyses were employed to examine the relationships between the study variables.Results showed that the majority of university students had an acceptable level of knowledge of COVID-19.The knowledge,risk perception of COVID-19,social norms,and perceived benefit of COVID-19 vaccination were positively associated with vaccination intention.However,perceived trust in information sources of COVID-19 vaccination and the government's response to COVID-19 did not affect the university students’desire to receive the vaccination.These findings are essential for health policymakers and healthcare providers to implement evidence-based interventions to increase COVID-19 vaccination uptake among university students.

理解视域下学生“问题行为”阐释及教育策略

在日常经验化意识的裹挟下,教师面对学生“问题行为”时,往往缺乏理解的视域,无法把握学生行为的意向与意义。教师理解意识的缺失有以下三个方面的表现:一是以事实性代替“心理因”;二是对学生“问题行为”进行类型化评判;三是聚焦于事件或行为本身而不是行为人及其意向性。这导致教师在处理学生“问题行为”时学生立场的缺失,消解了教育的意义。教师应成为理解者,有效地指引学生走出成长的困境。具体来说,在面对学生“问题行为”时,教师应做到以下几点:悬置外在规范,进行非判断性理解;对学生“问题行为”进行“本质直观”剖析,抵达学生行为的意向性;在理解学生成长需要和探索学生行为意义链的基础上,引导学生内在生命的成长。
