“…Se propuso contribuir con una herramienta de apoyo al diagnóstico temprano de los comportamientos adictivos, en la línea de las adicciones tecnológicas, específicamente a las adicciones a redes sociales, que están emergiendo como nuevos trastornos comportamentales que preocupa a la comunidad científica ( Días, et al 2018;Vallejos-Flores et al 2018;Andel et al 2019;Coskun y Gokcearslan, 2019;Balcerowska et al 2020;Orta y Demirutku, 2020;Sharma, 2020) siendo Instagram una de estas redes sociales con mayor crecimiento en los últimos, amenazando con quitar la preferencia a la red social Facebook y adquiriendo gran relevancia en los adultos jóvenes (Kircaburun & Griffiths, 2018) debido a ello, resulta importante contribuir con herramientas de medición para la detección temprana del uso problemático o adictivo, tal y como se ha venido realizando en otros países (D´Souza et al, 2018;Sholeh & Rusdi, 2019).…”

“…Como bien, se expresó en párrafos anteriores, las personas de mayor accesibilidad a Instagram suelen tener edades entre los 18 a 44 años (Statista, 2020; We are social & Hootsuite, 2020) considerados como un importante sector productivo en el campo académico laboral y por ende, de gran preocupación ya que una de sus principales herramientas en el estudio o trabajo son las tecnologías y las redes sociales virtuales, por lo que su uso inadecuado podría acarrearles problemas vinculados a estas, por ello, el desarrollar estudios vinculados al análisis de comportamientos problemáticos y adictivos son de suma importancia para evitar problemas de mayor envergadura asociados a las adicciones como problemas de aprendizaje, baja productividad académica, desmotivación (Sharma, 2020) conflictos laborales, baja producción, accidentes laborales, estrés laboral, entre otros (Aghaz & Sheikh, 2016;Andel et al, 2019).…”

Las redes sociales virtuales han ejercido un impacto notable en nuestras vidas, y con el pasar de los años se ha dado lugar a la creación de nuevas plataformas de socialización virtual como Instagram, la cual en nuestro contexto ha tomado gran interés, sobre todo en adultos jóvenes, llegando a ocupar gran parte de su espacio personal, académico, laboral y social, conduciendo en muchas ocasiones a comportamientos problemáticos como la adicción. El objetivo de este estudio fue diseñar y validar la Escala de adicción a Instagram de Bergen (BIAS), basada en la versión breve al español del Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS). Participaron 200 adultos peruanos usuarios de Instagram de 18 a 35 años (M edad =25.9; DE edad = 4.29) el 63.5% fueron mujeres. Para el diseño se realizó el cambio de la terminología Facebook por Instagram, en los ítems del BFAS, posteriormente se efectuó el AFC para estimar las evidencias de validez factorial y AFC-MG para la invarianza de la medición por sexo, comprobando invariabilidad para todos los niveles (configural, métrica, fuerte y estricta). Se aplicaron los instrumentos; Escala de Bienestar Psicológico (BIEPS-A) y Escala de Satisfacción con la vida (SWLS) los cuales fueron relacionados con el BIAS corroborando la divergencia entre los constructos, asimismo, se analizó la convergencia del BIAS al ser correlacionado con el BFAS (r=.520). La fiabilidad del instrumento se estimó con los coeficientes Alfa (α=.925) y Omega (ω=.931). Se concluye que el BIAS posee óptimas evidencias de validez y fiabilidad, demostrando una estructura unidimensional para la medición de adicción a Instagram.

“…Neutralization theory has been applied to explain deviances in such contexts as (un)ethical buying (Fukukawa et al , 2019), climate change activism (McKie, 2019), car use (Zhang et al , 2018), hospitality management (Lugosi, 2019), holiday travel (Juvan and Dolnicar, 2021) and internet use (Sharma, 2020). For example, Fukukawa et al (2019) discuss such examples of consumer behaviour as shoplifting, insurance fraud and digital piracy through the prism of deviance and neutralization.…”

“…Juvan and Dolnicar (2021) present tourists’ unwillingness to conserve the environment on holiday as deviant behaviour. Finally, Sharma (2020) speaks about cyberslacking in the context of deviance among internet users. An important idea to keep in mind with respect to normative behaviours is their contextualization, as what is considered appropriate in one context may be perceived as deviant or irrelevant in another context (Chatzidakis et al , 2004).…”

“…Individuals may genuinely believe that they are not responsible for their misbehaviours and that circumstances lead them to misbehave (Sharma, 2020). They blame external factors or others for the outcome of their behaviour (Sykes and Matza, 1957) and consider themselves as victims of the circumstances (Copes, 2014).…”

Purpose Although the challenge of food waste (FW) in the foodservice sector is significant, restaurant managers do not always engage in its reduction. The psychological reasons for this disengagement remain insufficiently understood. This study aims to explore the antecedents of behavioural intention of restaurateurs (not) to reduce FW. The influence of three factors is tested, namely, market orientation; environmental apathy alongside selected neutralization techniques, namely, appeal to higher loyalties; denial of injury and denial of responsibility. Design/methodology/approach The study uses the method of a large-scale managerial survey (n = 292) administered in the commercial foodservice sector of Spain. The data are analysed via structural equation modelling with partial least squares. Findings The study finds that market orientation affects managerial intention to reduce FW but not their attitude, while environmental apathy influences managerial attitudes but not their behavioural intention. The study confirms the negative effect of such neutralizers as the appeal to higher loyalties and the denial of injury on suppressing managerial intention to reduce FW. Contrary to initial anticipations, another established neutralizer, the denial of responsibility, exerts no significant effect. Practical implications The study elaborates on the interventions necessitated to neutralize the effect of the neutralizers on managerial (un)willingness to reduce FW in the commercial foodservice sector. Originality/value This is the first known attempt to understand the drivers of managerial engagement in FW reduction in the commercial foodservice sector through the prism of environmental apathy, market orientation and neutralization theory.

Cyberslacking or nonproductive activity in the classroom environment is one of the key problems that academicians face today. This study aims to investigate various determinants of cyberslacking attitudes and intentions among students enrolled in higher education institutions in Pakistan to bridge the gap in the literature about the limited understanding of cyberslacking behaviors of students in the developing world. Structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was employed to analyze the relationships between determinants of cyberslacking attitude and intention based on the survey data collected from 403 students. Results suggest that lack of attention, apathy to course material, and student consumerism significantly contribute to cyberslacking attitudes among these students while attitude and student escapism drive the cyberslacking intentions. Perceived threat and habit fail to show any significant influence lending useful implications for the academicians and researchers. The research is concluded with limitations guiding future research direction.
