“…By contrast, doctors with a higher sense of identity will actively participate and play a mutually reinforcing role. This also validates previous study conclusions that the sense of identity in the community will increase individual participation [38]. From the perspective of social-capital theory, for doctors with lower interaction frequency, there should be a new section to increase the number of views and collections, thus increasing their sense of identity to maintain its existing users.…”

In tandem with internet development and widespread social media use, e-health communities have begun to emerge in recent years. These communities allow doctors to access forums anywhere, anytime, seek or exchange medical information online, find literature, and so on. This is convenient and can solve some problems for doctors while also promoting doctor communication. This study collected and collated 102 doctors in the "Lilac Forum" and used social network tools to quantify the overall network density, centrality, core-periphery structure, and structural hole indicators of doctors' information exchange from a social-capital perspective. The results showed that the frequency of interaction between doctors differed because of differences in the identities and participation of doctors in the e-health community. The density of the doctors' information dissemination network (0.228) and network cohesion (0.610) were relatively high. Thus, the doctors were more closely connected, and information was easily spread. At the same time, doctors with higher professional titles had obvious location characteristics, familiarity and trust, and high levels of reciprocity. They could obtain redundant information in the network and were more likely to influence the behavior of other doctors. This study's findings provide support for improving information exchange among doctors in e-health communities and improving the service levels of the platforms.institutions, and medical practitioners [7]. Forums such as Lilac (www.dxy.cn/bbs) and Love Love Doctor (bbs.iiyi.com/) provide medical information and services to many doctors. However, there are still relatively few active users in medical forums [8], which means the acceptance level of e-health communities is still lacking. Therefore, it is important to explore the information exchange behaviors of doctors in such communities to promote the service level of e-health communities.The e-health community is an electronic information platform where doctors can exchange academic, basic medical, and other information. In e-health communities, doctors can access forums anywhere, anytime, seek or exchange medical information, find literature, and so on. At the same time, doctors can also post comments and questions on the forum and communicate with others. This is convenient and can solve some problems for doctors. If a doctor's area lacks the advanced medical resources and medical resources, and a patient requires advanced treatment, the doctor can access relevant advanced medical information in a forum. Then, the patient can be better prepared for the advanced treatment before the referral, which can increase cure rates [9]. E-health communities also can break the limitations of time and space and help doctors obtain professional knowledge from other doctors at different levels, which can reduce imbalances in medical resources [10]. Although such advantages indicate that e-health communities have good prospects, some shortcomings still exist. First, users of the Lilac forum are independent...

“…Interdependent self‐construal was measured by using the self‐construal scale (SCS) developed by Singelis (1994). This SCS is one of the most well‐known measures of self‐construal and has been used in numerous top‐tier journal publications (Mass et al, 2019; Song & Lee, 2013; Steinmetz & Mussweiler, 2017; Xin et al, 2017). It is reported that independent self‐construal and interdependent self‐construal are orthogonal and coexist in individuals.…”

“…The literature shows that each individual possesses both of these self-construal. For example, a person could be high in both independent and interdependent self-construal (Cross et al, 2009(Cross et al, , 2011Gudykunst et al, 1996;Oetzel, 1998;Ren et al, 2013;Singelis, 1994;Xin et al, 2017). In other words, these two types of self-construal lead respectively to different behaviors in social communities.…”

“…As for the latter, it views self as an entity socially embedded in groups. It gives rise to other‐focused emotions and blurs the boundary between private interest and group interest, leading to group identity and other‐focused behaviors (Xin et al, 2017). The literature shows that each individual possesses both of these self‐construal.…”

In joint consumptions, people often make consumption decisions for their respective groups, where chosen products or services are jointly shared by the members of their groups. Although the phenomena of joint consumptions appear commonly in real life, the literature of consumer behaviors has mainly focused on choices for the self instead of choices for others. This paper focuses on identifying the influence of personality on con-

We examined the longitudinal patterns of the sense of community among the middle and the late adolescents. For this purpose, we used the latent class growth analysis to explore the trajectories of the sense of community, and multinomial logistic regression was conducted to identify the significant predictors. The data for this study were taken from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey from 2010 to 2016. The major findings are as follows. First, three latent classes were identified: low‐, middle‐, and high‐level increasing group. Gender, mobile phone addiction, parental affection, household income, peer and teacher relationship, and school activities were significantly associated with the latent classes. On the basis of the results, implications with suggestions for future research were discussed.
