“…Male millennial shoppers exhibit a greater tendency towards recreational on‐line shopping and are likely to value competitive pricing 24 . Male shoppers spend more money on mobile purchases than female shoppers and younger people make more mobile purchases than older people, although these trends may be influenced by other factors 25 . The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) reports that younger owners are more likely to administer vaccines themselves, with cost being the most cited reason 26 .…”

Background: Little is known about the acquisition and use of equine analgesic drugs by horse owners in the United States (US). Objectives: To determine factors associated with possession of analgesic drugs by horse owners in the US or with analgesic drug acquisition from sources noncompliant with a valid veterinarian-client-patient (VCPR) relationship. Study design: Cross-sectional survey. Methods: An internet-based questionnaire included items related to experiences with horses and equine analgesic drugs. Factors associated with possession of ≥5 types of analgesic drugs and with the acquisition of drugs from VCPR noncompliant sources were analysed using logistic regression. Results: Responses from 389 US horse owners indicated that 96% have access to at least one type of equine analgesic medication and most are confident in their drug administration skills. Horse owners with ≥5 types of analgesic drugs were more likely to have managed >20 horses in their life (odds ratio [OR] = 3.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.7-5.6), have medical insurance for some horses (OR = 4.2, CI = 2.3-7.7), and have veterinary or human medical training (OR = 2.2, CI = 1.2-4.1) and were less likely to have a primary care veterinarian requiring >30 minutes travel time (OR = 0.5, CI = 0.3-0.9). Horse owners who obtained drugs through VCPR noncompliant sources were likely to be male (OR = 5.6, CI = 1.6-19.4), ≤40 years of age (OR = 2.0, CI = 1.2-3.2), and reside in the South or West regions of the US (OR = 2.4, CI = 1.4-4.0). Main limitations: Possible distribution, self-selection, response, and recall biases as a result of convenience sampling methodology. Conclusions: Discussion between veterinarians and horse owners regarding available analgesic drugs and owners' competence in administering those drugs may improve veterinary care recommendations and owner compliance.

“…This study focuses on understanding the motivational characteristics of a wide range of consumers in different regions of Chinese consumers, with data collected online. Furthermore, with changes in business models during the last two decades, coupled with the recent COVID-19 outbreak, brick-and-mortar department stores are suffering a decline in sales ( Hou and Elliott, 2021 ). As more and more consumers flock to online shopping ( Akram et al, 2020 ), collecting data online is a better way for a more general consumer motivation as well as a broader sample.…”

Consumer motivation plays an important role in their purchase decisions and well-being. Previous studies have investigated the relationship between certain consumer motivations and well-being separately. We aim to employ latent profile analysis (LPA) to explore subgroups of participants who display similar patterns of consumer multiple motivations and to examine differences in subjective well-being across these subtypes. The final group of (N = 1,023, ages 18–58) completed the Consumer Motivation scale online, assessing seven dimensions of consumer motivation. Results of LPA identified four subpopulations of participants: the enthusiastic group has high expectations in all aspects; the balanced group values each aspect of the product but has lower expectations; the rational group emphasizes aspects such as value for money, comfort, and quality; the apathetic group has no strong motivation for consumption, and they are relatively concerned with the dimensions of security, social acceptance, and stimulation. Consumers’ subjective well-being (life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect) differed significantly across the four profiles. Specifically, scores for positive affect and life satisfaction were highest in the enthusiastic group, medium in the balanced group, and lowest in the rational and apathetic groups. Scores for negative affect were significantly higher in the enthusiastic and apathetic groups than in the rational group. These findings enable marketers to develop customized marketing strategies for different motivation profiles and contribute to helping consumers with varying motivation profiles to consciously pay attention to their well-being.

“…An online survey of 937 mobile shoppers in the US found that education and income levels significantly increased mobile shopping intensity purchases. Also, males indicated spending more on mobile shopping than females, and younger ages also made more mobile purchases [ 23 ]. Based on a survey amongst 323 German households, the research found a negative association between increasing age and intention for switching to a fintech, so a higher affinity for digital innovations for younger age groups.…”

“…Increased consumer impulse spending is mentioned as one of the benefits for retailers to adopt mobile payments, and it is assumed that impulse purchases will increase with the adoption of mobile payments [ 69 ]. Research also shows that motivations like convenience, bargain hunting, and enjoyment related to a more impulsive shopping style are related to the number, frequency, and money spent on mobile shopping [ 23 ]. The use of mobile payments also increases the willingness to pay [ 10 ] and is assumed to lead to an additional decrease in spending control [ 12 ].…”

“…As a result, little is known about the current real users of mobile payments [11]. While investigating socio-demographic differences between users and nonusers in other technology domains like social media [22] or mobile shopping [23] is a frequent practice, such insights seem notably lacking when investigating the literature on the adoption of mobile payment technologies. Recent work in financial policy research tried to identify the [early] adopters of mobile payment, but also, in that area, such research remains limited [12,24,25].…”

Experts and industry reports agree that the COVID-19 crisis spurred the adoption of new retail technologies, like mobile payment. However, empirical academic evidence that compares their adoption and usage before, during, and after the crisis remains scarce. So far, academic mobile payment research has focussed almost entirely on the different building blocks of technological acceptance models, like perceived usefulness and ease of use, and their role in explaining intention to use. We need to learn more about the profile of the actual user. In this Belgian study, we investigate the evolution in mobile adoption based on survey data from 2019 to 2020 (2019: N = 897; 2020: N = 895). We examine differences in the profile of mobile payers in terms of their socio-demographics, retail, and social media behaviours. The pandemic triggered a clear uplift in mobile payment users between 2019 to 2020. Nonetheless, striking differences in socio-demographic profile and retail patronage remain. Our data shows that there is still inequality in adoption, related to age and social grade. We also observe a clear association between general impulse buying tendency and mobile payment. The link between internet/online shopping and mobile payment is firmly established. Finally, mobile adoption is related to the use of Instagram and Facebook. Consequences for retailers, researchers and public officers are further discussed.
