Perception of Climate Change and Pro-Environmental Behavioral Intentions of Forest Recreation Area Users—A Case of Taiwan

This study aims to extend the theory of planned behavior to explore climate change perception, adaptation intention, and behavioral patterns of PEB of tourists in the Xitou Nature Education Area (XNEA) in Taiwan. Furthermore, we analyzed the correlation among various variables using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from the close-ended question questionnaires; sample size (n = 626). SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 for Windows were used as tools for analysis. The results are as follows: the perception of tourists on climate change exerts a significant positive effect on attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, which, in turn, exerts significant positive effects on climate change adaptation intentions. Furthermore, climate change adaptation intentions exert a significant positive influence on the behavioral patterns of PEB. Finally, political trust exerts a moderating effect on the relationship between subjective norms and climate change adaptation intentions and between perceived behavioral control and climate change adaptation intentions. Our findings indicate that it is necessary to encourage awareness of climate change, and that it is also very important to increase the value of political trust when making environmental policies.

Perception of Intention in Traffic Environments: A Systematic Review

To navigate safely in traffic environments, road users must correctly predict another road users’ intentions. Understanding how road users correctly predict the intent of other road users can help create possible countermeasures for collision avoidance. The aim of this paper is to examine what cues road users (drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians) use to successfully predict other road user’s intentions and to highlight gaps and outline future research directions. A systematic literature search using the PRISMA method was conducted, and twenty-seven articles were included in the review. Overall, the results from these studies suggest that observers use body language, cues exhibited by the road user, and seek eye contact, when making predictions of intent about another road user. Future research should aim to understand how specific cues impact a road user’s decision-making process and what factors (e.g., point of view or eye contact) modulate a road user’s prediction performance.

The Effect of Perceived Benefits of E-Commerce Platforms on Online Purchase Intentions in The Context of the Pandemic Covid-19

E-commerce is an emerging market for every business and it has been started to discuss whether the new pandemic context changed the dynamics of this platform. The aim of this study is to investigate how pandemic anxiety has influenced the relationship between the perceptions of e-commerce platforms and purchase intentions. This study examines the moderation effect of pandemic anxiety on the relationship between the effectiveness and economic benefits of e-commerce platforms and online purchase intention. 513 individuals participated in the cross-sectional research survey in which, the perceived effectiveness of e-commerce platforms, economic benefits, pandemic anxiety, and online purchase intentions were measured. The quantitative analysis revealed that pandemic anxiety negatively moderates the relationship between the economic benefit and online purchase intention. Pandemic anxiety seems to alter the economically oriented customer choices and intentions. Our findings reveal that pandemic anxiety negatively moderates the economic benefits and purchase intentions relationship in e-commerce. Individuals in the face of the pandemic threat, seem to choose to invest their material resources to save biological entities and withdrawal from seeking cost reduction in e-commerce activities. We think that the priority of economic benefit in e-commerce changed to saving health due to the pandemic context.

P10-01 Acceptability of videoconferencing physical activity intervention among elderly in rural areas: qualitative study

BackgroundElderly's sustainable engagement in an active lifestyle is a complex phenomenon, implying a plurality of physical, psychological and environmental barriers and facilitators. One of the key factors limiting physical activity (PA) in rural area is the lack of accessibility to PA offers. The use of videoconferencing is a promising solution in terms of acceptability and efficiency to promote PA. However, the acceptability (initial stage of the technology adoption process) of the videoconferencing is still underexplored, as well as its role in promoting PA in rural areas. The purpose of this study was to explore, through the perceptions of the elderly and policymakers, the mechanisms of acceptability of the development of PA interventions using videoconferencing for elderly living in rural areas.MethodsElderly (n = 10) and policymakers (n = 12) from 11 different rural town of the South of France participated in the study. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted, where a video presentation of PA interventions using videoconferencing was played as support. The interview guide assessed the acceptability of this type of intervention through the following themes: (1) perceptions of benefits, (2) barriers, and (3) intentions of use.ResultsPreliminary results showed shared perceptions between elderly and policymakers for barriers (e.g., lack of real social ties, lack of technological equipment) and benefits (e.g., breaking loneliness, overcome weather conditions). However, intentions of use are heterogeneous according to individual characteristics (e.g., “young” elderly between 60 to 65 years are more favourable to the use of technologies) and the specificity of towns (e.g., in the smallest towns with less than 500 people, elderly are less inclined to change their habits).ConclusionsThis study showed that the development of videoconferencing PA intervention could be accepted by elderly living in rural areas, taking into account some conditions (e.g., offer as punctual and non-regular use, set up individual support for the use of technology). Additional quantitative studies should be conducted for a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing the videoconferencing PA intervention acceptability in rural areas.

The influence of heritage food consumption and experiential value on Terengganu’s destination image and tourists’ behavioural intention

ABSTRACT This study investigates the factors influencing heritage food tourists’ behavioural intentions and perceived destination image based on how heritage food consumption and experiential value affect their behavioural intention. A sample of 336 tourists was surveyed in Terengganu, Malaysia. The study hypotheses were investigated using partial-least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results demonstrate that consumption and experiential value significantly predict tourists’ attitudes. In addition, their favourable attitude towards food significantly stimulates their perception of Terengganu's destination image and behavioural intention. This study demonstrates the importance of local food consumption value on tourists’ perceptions and behaviour, which is especially important in the promotion of heritage food tourism. The findings suggest ways for managers and practitioners in the culinary tourism industry to strategically market their offerings in order to increase demand for food tourism.

Reducing staff burnout and turnover intentions in juvenile justice residential commitment programs: The promise of trauma-informed care

PurposeThis study investigates the relationship between perceptions of Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), burnout, and turnover intentions among juvenile justice staff members in residential commitment programs. MethodsDrawing data from a sample of Florida juvenile justice staff, a series of two-level mixed-effects linear regression models nesting staff survey responses (N = 1281) within residential program components (N = 58) regressed burnout and turnover intentions on five domains of organizational TIC—TIC Training, Trauma Screening and Procedures, Staff Safety, Attitudes Towards TIC, and TIC Complications and Barriers—and other confounding influences. Additional regression models utilizing the Karlson-Holm-Breen method consider the direct and indirect effects of TIC. ResultsThe results indicated that staff perceptions of key TIC domains, namely TIC Training and Trauma Screening and Procedures, and Staff Safety were predictive of burnout; however, the relationship between TIC measures and burnout was mediated by perceptions of Staff Safety. Additionally, staff turnover intentions were largely a function of staff perceptions of safety and burnout, with these factors again mediating the effect of TIC. ConclusionsTIC represents a popular service model for human service agencies working with trauma-exposed clients. This study is the first to assess how staff perceptions of organizational TIC impact burnout and turnover intentions in a juvenile justice setting. It suggests that aspects of organizational TIC have the potential to reduce burnout and increase employee retention by improving workplace physical and emotional safety.

The effects of a Disney masstige brand collaboration on perceptions of brand luxury: vertical versus horizontal product line extension strategies

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a Disney collaboration and Disney product line extension type on the perceptions of masstige brands and purchase intentions. By identifying masstige brands as two types (i.e. born-masstige versus luxury-masstige brands), this study investigates how consumers respond to a Disney collection across different types of masstige brands.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted three studies using an experimental approach.FindingsStudy 1 shows that compared to a traditional collection, a Disney collection lowered perceptions of brand luxury, but the negative effect is stronger for born-masstige brands than luxury-masstige brands. Studies 2 and 3 revealed that an upward extension enhanced perceptions of luxury for the born-masstige brand more than it did with a horizontal extension, whereas there was no difference between upward and horizontal extensions for the luxury-masstige brand.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to understanding how Disney collaborations influence consumers’ perceptions of masstige brands. It has implications for brand positioning and pricing strategies for practitioners collaborating with Disney or similar companies.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first of its kind to investigate consumer responses to a Disney collaborated collection across two types of masstige brands by exploring their type of product line extensions.

War of the Words: How Individuals Respond to “Fake News,” “Misinformation,” “Disinformation,” and “Online Falsehoods”

ABSTRACT While some argue the term “fake news” has lost its meaning and should be discarded from academic lexicon, others say the term has conceptual utility and one that the public understands. This study revisits these arguments and compares how individuals respond to the term “fake news” with how they respond to other related terms, such as “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “online falsehoods.” Through an online survey involving a representative sample of 1,015 adult participants in Singapore, this study found that participants who saw the term “fake news” reported the highest level of perceptions of falsity and intentionality. The term “fake news” also elicited the highest level of concern, perceived severity, and treatment recommendation, although the terms “misinformation” and “online falsehoods” also displayed similar levels, while “disinformation” elicited the lowest ratings.

Are graphic health warnings impacting on message processing and quitting intentions?

PurposeGraphic health warnings (GHWs) on tobacco product packaging constitute one component within a multifaceted set of tobacco control measures. This study aims to understand whether consumers’ attention to GHWs will be associated with recall and quit intentions, using Australia as the case for this study.Design/methodology/approachUsing the 14 GHWs currently in market as visual stimuli, non-probability intercept sampling was conducted, eye tracking and post-survey datasets were collected from a total of 419 respondents across three Australian cities.FindingsResults show the front graphic image areas draw initial attention and the Quitline message area holds the longest attention duration. Attention is highly correlated with better quality of recall of health warning information, emotive responses, believability ratings among smokers and smokers’ perception of health risks and quit intentions. Associations are also noted with perceived health risk and quitting intentions.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that has objectively tested the effectiveness of in-market tobacco GHWs in Australia and highlights eye tracking as a valid measurement approach that can enhance and drive new insights to evaluate consumer behaviour towards visual stimuli. This study extends new knowledge around the physiological relationships between viewing behaviours, health vulnerability perceptions and intentions to quit smoking, which has theoretical implications for the extended parallel process model which underpins this research.

Tourists’ risk perception, travel behaviour and behavioural intention during the COVID-19

Considering the coronavirus risk, the purpose of the study is to reveal the group differences in travel risk perception, travel behaviour and behavioural intention in terms of the tourists’ sociodemographic characteristics – gender, age and past travel experience. A convenience sampling was used and members of the eligible travel groups on social media platforms were invited to respond to an online survey. A total of 160 responses were obtained from Turkey in January 2021. Exploratory factor analysis, independent samples t-tests and cross-tabulation analysis were performed to analyse the data. This study determined the differences in the risk perception of coronavirus, travel behaviour and travel intention of tourists in terms of gender and age of tourists. Although it is known that the higher the experience, the lower the risk perception, the study showed no differences associated with the past travel experience. This supposes that all tourists, regardless of their past experience, perceived the coronavirus risk in the same way as its influence has been tremendous globally. Consequently, tourism professionals should attract target markets at the appropriate time with compatible strategies regarding the sociodemographic factors.

The Effects of Affective Trust and Suspicion in New Product Development Projects

Relationships between functional specialists working on NPD projects can lack trust, resulting in poor communication, low levels of co-operation, and, in the extreme, the political sabotage of projects. We empirically test a hypothesized model of managerial perceptions of motives and intentions, negative project politics, and affect-based trust, as well as their effect on dysfunctional conflict and defensive behaviors, with their subsequent effect on collaboration and NPD project success. Data were from 184 projects from the technically trained manager perspective, and 145 projects were from the marketing manager perspective. We find that, despite all of the NPD process improvement and use of integration methods, NPD managerial level interactions are still fundamentally relationally-based, where the strongest effects on cross-functional managerial behavior are from perceptions of negative motives, leading to defensive behaviors and politics interfering with collaboration and NPD success. On a positive note, while evident affect-based trust leads to collaboration and NPD success, it is far more important for technically trained managers. The implications for top management lie in structuring organizational processes that are trust-rich, in order to avoid the opportunity for distrust and suspicion to arise.

Emergency Nurses’ Perceptions of Leadership Strategies and Intention to Leave: A scoping review of the literature

BackgroundRetention of registered nurses in emergency departments (EDs) is as a critical issue, further exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. Leaders influence work life and working environment, but it is unclear what strategies leaders use to address nurse staffing issues in the ED. The purpose of this scoping review is to understand if leadership strategies used in EDs have links to nursing retention and turnover. MethodologyThis scoping review was completed with a comprehensive search within Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, EMCARE, EMBASE. Two authors developed inclusion and exclusion criteria, did title and abstract screening, and full text screening using review software. Data extracted from included studies was analyzed to determine leadership strategies and relationships to intent to stay, retention, intent to leave, or turnover. ResultsOf the 553 records identified, nine met inclusion criteria. Leadership strategies identified in the studies included support from supervisor, engagement by the leader, organizational culture assessment, and a cultural change toolkit. No leadership strategy influenced nurse intention to stay, retention, intention to leave or turnover. ConclusionEmergency nurse retention and the prevention of turnover is a multidimensional issue stemming from various factors that may not be controllable due to the nature of the setting. However, leaders can implement strategies and provide support to staff to enhance quality of work life and the work environment. More information is needed to understand how leaders can influence the current and future supply of emergency nurses to produce quality patient care outcomes.

Nurses' perceptions of career ladder systems, job satisfaction and turnover intention: A cross-sectional study.

This study aimed to compare nurses' perceptions of career ladder systems, job satisfaction and turnover intention in small- and medium-sized hospitals with and without a career ladder system. A cross-sectional, correlational, descriptive study was conducted. Data were collected using self-report surveys from 130-144 participants in small- and medium-sized hospitals with and without a career ladder system, respectively. The data were collected from July 1, 2019-July 31, 2019. The perception of the career ladder system was positively correlated with job satisfaction in hospitals with and without a career ladder system but negatively correlated with turnover intention in those with a career ladder system only. A positive perception of the system is associated with increased job satisfaction and lowered turnover intention. Hospitals should implement a career ladder system and improve nurses' perception by addressing the specific categories identified in this study.

Motion intention prediction of upper limb in stroke survivors using sEMG signal and attention mechanism

The upper limb movement of stroke survivors has strong specificity and involuntary activation of muscles and other non-ideal factors. The prediction method suitable for healthy people often declines accuracy when applied to stroke survivors. The precise perception of the patient's motion intention is helpful for the patient to use the rehabilitation robot for rehabilitation training. Current research focuses on data acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, and classifier selection. Some researchers have proposed effective methods, but they have disadvantages such as complexity, high cost, and low generalization. In this paper, we proposed a new solution to the problem of significant interference of patients' sEMG data: (i) Embedding the attention mechanism into the deep residual network so that the attention module can entirely focus on the key features to improve the network's learning ability of features. (ii) The soft thresholding module is embedded into the deep residual network as a building unit, and the threshold is automatically set to eliminate the interfering noise. We designed an experiment to acquire sEMG signals from eight muscles of ten patients during six preset movements and adopted a 10-fold cross-validation method to verify the feasibility of the proposed method. The length of the data processing window, the prediction accuracy of different movements, and various models' classification effect are compared. The results show that compared with ResNet (average accuracy = 84.94 %) and CNN (average accuracy = 78.47 %), the proposed method has higher classification accuracy, with an average accuracy of 93.11 %, which proves the feasibility of the proposed method. This study can be applied to improve the efficiency of rehabilitation training for stroke survivors.

Exploring virtual race participants’ perceptions of event mobile apps and behavioral intention: The stimulus-organism-response approach

As COVID-19 compels the event industry to embrace a digital transformation with innovative and safer ways of organizing events, investigating event attendees’ emotional responses and behavioral intention toward virtual sporting events becomes extremely important for event stakeholders. However, there is little empirical research on what factors lead to event participants’ hedonic benefit, which is a crucial determinant of satisfaction and revisit intention in the context of virtual sporting events. Based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model, this study therefore develops and examines a conceptually comprehensive model on the interrelationship between mobile app attributes, hedonic benefit, satisfaction with event experience, and revisit intention in the context of a virtual race event. Results identified user interface attractiveness and perceived usefulness as significant determinants of hedonic benefit which, in turn, affect satisfaction with event experience and revisit intention. Further, the results revealed that hedonic benefit mediates the relationships. The findings of this study provide significant theoretical and managerial implications for both researchers and practitioners who are interested in the use of mobile apps in virtual race events.

The Influence and Continuance Intention of the E-Government System: A Case Study of Community Water Supply Business

The e-Service system is utilized in government administration to help achieve efficiency and provide people with services that meet their needs. This service is also known as e-Government. This article discovers the actual impacts and examines the paper to identify the underlying factors affecting the government’s e-service system. The Administration created it to help achieve efficiency and provide people with services that meet their needs, also known as e-government. In addition, it leads to an increase in participation in the equity of the distribution of social benefits. This research examines the essential aspects that influence a community’s perception of E-Government Continuance Intentions Toward E-Services. A questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale was issued to 1,000 community water consumers, and the researcher received 627 valid responses. Data were collected using a simple random sampling technique with a sampling ratio of 14 villages. Subsequently, descriptive statistics characterize the data (frequency distributions, percentages, averages, medians, and standard deviation). Furthermore, PLS-SEM was utilized to study the interactions between variables and launch the conceptual model via partial least squares (PLS) path modeling. This research demonstrates that digital technologies are critical to boosting community expectations and satisfaction with e-Services. Numerous factors contribute to its growth. Moreover, this paper presents an excellent case study approach based on expectation confirmation theory for examining people’s community participation behaviors regarding e-services. In addition, community water consumers participate in electronic services by confirming their expectations with satisfaction.

A Brief Intervention on E-Cigarette, Regular Cigarette, and Marijuana Use Results in Generalization Effects: Lateral Attitude Change among College Students

Objective We hypothesized (1) perceived harm beliefs and intention to use e-cigarette attitudes will become more negative post-exposure to the intervention (2) this change will generalize to more negative beliefs and intention toward regular cigarettes and marijuana. Methods MANOVAs of students’ perceptions of harm beliefs and intention toward the use of e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes, and marijuana were performed to ascertain change in harm beliefs before (t1) to after the intervention (t2) for 188 nonwhite Hispanic and White college students who viewed educational material (informational text + video), the intervention, during an online experimental survey. Results The first MANOVA yielded main effect with significant differences for substances, Wilks’ Lambda (Λ) = 0.254, F = 234.920 (2, 160), p < 0.001, ηp 2 =0.746 and by time (Λ = 0.740, F = 56.684 (1, 161), p < 0.001, ηp 2 = 0.260). E-cigarettes, regular cigarettes, and marijuana were perceived more harmful for one’s health and for the health of others at t2. The MANOVA on peer influence and intention to use (Λ = 0.277, F = 222.890 (2, 171), p < 0.001), ηp 2 = 0.723) and by time (Λ = 0.922, F = 14.514 (1, 172), p < 0.001), ηp 2 = 0.078) was significant. Respondents were less likely to use any of the substances if their best friend offered at t2. Intent for future use was also reduced at t2. Conclusion A brief intervention potentiated favorable change in harm beliefs and intention to focal object (e-cigarettes) and lateral objects (regular cigarettes and marijuana).
