“…First, in contrast to previous studies on the role of the media in shaping attitudes toward minorities, which found that the consumption of bad digital news was associated with more negative attitudes toward minorities, the current study revealed that, during a crisis, exposure to bad digital news worked differently and was associated with more positive attitudes toward minorities. Second, in contrast to the literature on the domestication of foreign news [ 21 , 59 ], we found that, in times of global crisis, the effects of local news were more pronounced. Third, in contrast to ethnic competition theory, we found that feelings of economic threat during the global crisis, accompanied by extraordinary uncertainty and insecurity, inspired higher cohesion between different groups and more positive attitudes toward them.…”

“…Another corpus of studies investigating news consumption and attitudes toward minorities focused on news about minorities themselves and not on economic digital news [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], although some of these studies addressed the importance of digital news in general. The impact of digital news coverage of ethnic and immigrant minorities on attitudes toward them depends on the context in which such news was received [ 20 ].…”

This paper examines the relationships between the consumption of ‘bad’ or ‘good’ digital economic news and attitudes toward immigrant and ethnic minorities during the crisis that developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study considered attitudes toward two minority groups in Israel: immigrant citizens from English-speaking countries, and Israeli Palestinian citizens, an ethnic minority. The data were collected through an online survey of 866 respondents, who were members of the majority population group. The study found that, during the global crisis, exposure to bad digital news was associated with more positive attitudes toward both disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged minority groups. Moreover, in times of global crisis, people focused mostly on local rather than global digital news. In contrast to the idea of Intergroup Threat Theory, the study revealed that feelings of economic threat during the global crisis engendered higher cohesion between different population groups, and more positive attitudes toward minorities. In times of crisis, bad news for the economy brings good news for social solidarity—people tend to rally around the flag; this phenomenon even occurs between groups engaged in years-long, protracted conflict.

“…Sideline learning refers to observing how live E-commerce hosts perform and demonstrate products to achieve the purpose of learning. It can positively affect the adoption of new products [37] , such as consumers' emotions and perceptions of products [38] . Therefore, in terms of influencing the consumer decision-making process, alternative learning is similar to word-of-mouth learning, as implied by social cognitive theory.…”

This study utilizes bibliometric knowledge mapping to guide the development of consumer behavior within a theoretical framework in live E-commerce environments. This analysis is based on data collected by existing customers on platforms such as Taobao, JD.com, Mogujie, Xiaohongshu, and Jumei Youpin. The literature survey chart is based on 2000 articles. The resulting theoretical concept shares the same structure as the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model of consumer behaviors. The stimulus has social, technical, stream and viewer factors. The social stimulus includes social influence, and interaction among the live anchor and the consumers. The stream factor is represented by vicarious learning. The technical stimulus consists of performance and effort expectancies, the synchronicity of live session and system, and system and service quality. The viewer stimulus consists of impulsive buying tendency and innovativeness of consumers. Multilayer perceptron neural network (MLP-NN), which integrates many variables in bibliometrics, has become an effective means to guide Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis and configuration, thus generating a knowledge base. The study offers many practical and theoretical implications, for instance, numerous theories are found fit to explain the roles of social stimuli such as cognitive development theory. Trust and enjoyment are found to significantly influence consumers’ flow state, which implies the working of cognitive appraisal theory, as an expanded insight into the flow theory of consumer behaviors. In addition, addiction to live is another factor that is significantly critical to influencing the impulsive buying of consumers.

The study examines whether qualitative and quantitative characteristics of intercultural service encounters (ISEs) between majority customers and ethnic minority service providers are associated with better attitudes toward the entire minority group. The study was conducted in Israel through an online survey of 402 respondents. The study revealed that the customers derived pleasure from high perceived value of services and from taking advantage of a good deal. This pleasure, in turn, was positively related to attitudes toward the outgroup. High perceived value of service was associated with higher frequency of ISE that may be interpreted as repurchasing behavior. Overall, the total effect of perceived value of services between majority population and ethnic minority on attitudes toward this minority was significant and positive. Thus, economic beneficiality, which is a very important component of ISE, may contribute to improving relationships between groups in deep conflict.
