“…Through the interactivity of social commerce, customers can easily communicate with others during the shopping process and share their own consumption experience, and they also expect others to share their experience (Hajli, 2014). This interactive process is an indispensable part of consumer shopping, enabling consumers to complete shopping tasks while also obtaining a different social experience, enhancing the social attributes of shopping, and making them more willing to participate in social commerce (Qin et al, 2021).…”

The popularity of social media, such as WeChat and Weibo in China, has provided an opportunity to develop social commerce. Although shopping through social commerce platforms is widely favored by consumers, the factors affecting consumers’ decision-making behavior in the social commerce environment remain unclear. Therefore, from the perspective of the stimulus–organism–response (SOR) theory, we construct a consumer repurchase decision model in the social commerce environment and analyze the influencing mechanism of social commerce features (interactivity, recommendations, and feedback) on perceived value (utilitarian value and hedonic value) and consumers’ repurchase intention. The empirical results found that social commerce features are positively related to the generation of perceived value, which in turn drives consumers to form repurchase intentions. We also found some mediating effects of perceived value. The study’s conclusions clarify the intrinsic influence mechanism of social commerce features on consumers’ perceived value and repurchase intentions. In addition, it can provide some theoretical guidance for future research and business.

“…Sequential learners prefer to learn in a structured and sequential fashion. A sequential learner observes a phenomenon via the lens of interrelated, hierarchical, and procedural concepts (Huang, 2015). Thus, each thought sequence is critical for comprehending the significance of little patterns.…”

“…There has been a lot of progress in digital consoles, platforms, and distribution systems for games. Recent research in game development usually focuses on why people play games, how playing games affects their behavior, how gamification and game-based learning work, and how they can be used in different fields (Hamari & Keronen, 2017;Qin et al, 2021;Calvo-Morata et al, 2021;Haberlin & Atkin, 2022). While some studies explore the concept of earning money through gambling while playing games, most of this research focuses on the behavioral changes on the part of the players (Mills & Nower, 2019;Zendle, 2020;Macey, 2021).…”

This study identified the constructs of problematic gaming behavior that significantly impact the success-economic gain motivation of gamers. Furthermore, this study explored the role of gender, number of games played, and learning styles in problematic gaming behavior and the success-economic gain motivation of gamers using an online survey (N = 136). This study identified escape from adverse moods and preoccupation as the significant determinants of success-economic gain motivation of gamers. Escape from bad moods and preoccupation mediates the relationship between gamers' gender, number of games played, and success-economic gain motivation. Regression analysis reveals that active-reflective and sequential-global learning styles moderate the relationship between escapism, preoccupation, and success-economic gain motivation of gamers. The results suggest that the combination of active-global learning style and reflective-sequential learning style has the highest impact on the success-economic gain motivation of gamers. The results led to two conceptual frameworks that show how gender, learning styles, problematic gaming behavior, and success-economic gain motivation all play a role in game play.

Understanding factors that predict toxic and prosocial behavior in massively multiplayer online (MMO) games has drawn a great deal of scholarly attention. Prior work on this topic has primarily focused on individual and technological factors while overlooking the role of interpersonal dynamics. To fill this gap, this study examines if and how players’ perceptions of mutual dependence and power in MMO games are related to toxicity and prosocial behavior in games. Results from a survey of 782 Chinese game players suggest that players’ perceived power is positively related to prosocial behavior in games. Perceived mutual dependence and power are also indirectly related to prosocial and toxic behaviors through players’ passion for games. This study has theoretical implications for scholarship on toxicity, prosocial behaviors, and gameplay, while also providing design and policy implications for MMO games.
