“…They rather suggest that engagement recognition in infancy might be considered from a more perceptual than conceptual perspective. Contexts and structural frameworks in which experiences take place are known to shape persons' attention and attitudes toward what they perceive (Barwise & Perry, ; Fantasia et al., ; Streitfeld & Wilson, ; Sun, ). Therefore, familiar conditions may help to allocate attention toward the signals relevant to engagement and the incoming collaborative activities.…”

a Trois-Rivi eresThis study explores 12-month-olds' understanding of face-to-face conversation, a key contextual structure associated with engagement in a social interaction. Using a violation-of-expectations paradigm, we habituated infants to a "face-to-face" conversation, and in a test phase compared their looking times between "back-to-back" (conceptually novel) and "face-toface" (conceptually familiar) conversations, while simultaneously manipulating perceptual familiarity in a 2 9 2 factorial design. We also analyzed dynamic changes in pupil dilation, which are considered a reliable measure of cognitive load that may index processing of social interactions. Infants looked relatively longer at perceptual changes (new speaker positions) but not at conceptual change (back-to-back conversation), suggesting that face-to-face conversation may not elicit particular expectations, and so may not carry any particular conceptual significance. Moreover, on the first test trial, larger pupil dilation was observed for familiar conditions, suggesting that familiarity with perceptual features could enhance processing of conversations. Thus, this study undermines assertions regarding infants' conceptual understanding of the social signals underlying engagement. Infants may rather recognize such signals through their perceptual familiarity and associated positive feelings. This may then increase their engagement when observing and participating in others' collaborative activities, in turn allowing for the development of knowledge regarding others' intentions.

“…An individual's attitude determines his/her type of response to difficult situations. For the most part, attitude is shaped by one's object, situation and personality (Sun, 2009;Maio and Haddock, 2010), but can be changed throughout one's lifetime. A strong will and positive attitude have been found to improve technology usability (Bhattacherjee and Premkumar, 2004).…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to create a conceptual framework, based on a structured literature review, to analyze the digital disability divide and help find solutions for it. A digital disability divide exists between people with impairments and those without impairments. Multiple studies have shown that people without impairments are less likely to own a computer or have an Internet connection than are people with impairments. However, the digital disability divide is seen in relation not only to access but also to accessibility and use. For people with impairments, new technological innovations offer solutions for everyday challenges, such as finding information, communicating with others and using electronic services. Design/methodology/approach – For this study, 4,778 conference and journal publications were systematically analyzed. Findings – A number of key findings emerged. This field is relatively new, and the literature is highly focused on the technological and social aspects of the digital disability divide, with technology and societal attributes being the core sub-attributes for a comprehensive model. The previous literature did not significantly study the consequences of the financial situation of individuals; rather, the predominant focus was on the have-nots and countries with low income potentials. Furthermore, motivation reveals a compelling case within the digital disability divide subset. Originality/value – The review provides a consolidated view of past research on the general topic of the digital disability divide and the attributes that affect it.

“…It refers to the "psychological tendency that is expressed by evaluating a particular entity with some degree of favour or disfavour" (Eagle and Chaiken, 1993, p.1). Conceptually, attitudes can be divided into general and specific attitudes (Sun and Wilson, 2008). A specific attitude is a strong predictor of a single behaviour on a particular attitude object; while a general attitude explains the general tendency to engage in relevant behaviour of a category of attitude object (Ajzen and Fishbein, 1977;Hines, Hungerford and Tomera, 1986-87;Eagle and Chaiken, 1993).…”

Sun and Wilson (2008) argued that both types of attitude should be studied together in an empirical research, as the formation of specific attitude toward a new object is likely to be influenced by the general attitudes as well. Besides, a more complete understanding of attitude can be derived from considering and clarifying both type of attitudes in one study (Eagly and Chaiken, 1998).…”

The Roles of Knowledge, Threat, and PCE on Green Purchase Behaviour

With an increasing pressure of environmental deterioration, many firms have started to be socially responsible by developing green products to meet the demand of environmentally conscious consumers. These firms are interested in finding the determinants of green purchase behaviour in order to develop effective communication messages and derive green purchase commitments. The effects of environmental knowledge, environmental threat and perceived consumer effectiveness (PCE) in motivating one's behavioural change to engage in pro-environmental behaviour have been tested in the past, but they have not been tested together in the context of green purchase behaviour in Malaysia. Therefore, this paper reviews the conceptual and empirical literatures of the aforementioned variables in explaining the environmental attitude and behaviour, and proposes a conceptual model to be considered for future green purchase behavioural studies. The finding is expected to provide guidance for firms to profile the green buyers and position its green product more effectively.
