Consumer trust in B2C e-Commerce and the importance of social presence: experiments in e-Products and e-Services

Reducing social uncertainty—understanding, predicting, and controlling the behavior of other people—is a central motivating force of human behavior. When rules and customs are not sufficient, people rely on trust and familiarity as primary mechanisms to reduce social uncertainty. The relative paucity of regulations and customs on the Internet makes consumer familiarity and trust especially important in the case of e-Commerce. Yet the lack of an interpersonal exchange and the one-time nature of the typical business transaction on the Internet make this kind of consumer trust unique, because trust relates to other people and is nourished through interactions with them.This study validates a four-dimensional scale of trust in the context of e-Products and revalidates it in the context of e-Services. The study then shows the influence of social presence on these dimensions of this trust, especially benevolence, and its ultimate contribution to online purchase intentions.     

The West,Russia, and China in Central Asia: What Kind of Game Is Being Played in the Region?

The article discusses the nature of the tangled interaction between the ex-Soviet Central Asian republics and the outside great powers – Russia, the United States and China. Although the so-called Great Game model is often used to explain the geopolitical rivalry in the region, the current pattern of relations between various international actors is much more complex than a traditional tug-of-war between the old colonial empires. While Russia's strategic role in Central Asia appears to be on the rise, the capacity of the West to influence political developments in the region has diminished. However, the overall situation in Central Asia remains volatile and its geopolitical landscape is far from being settled.     

Loneliness and the use of social media to follow celebrities: A moderating role of social presence

Because social media provide users with the possibility of an easy way to communicate with celebrities in society, it has become a more common practice to follow celebrities through social media. However, there exists few studies that examine how people’s individual characteristics are related to their celebrity-following behavior. In this regard, the current study examines whether celebrity followers’ loneliness is associated with the following behavior of their favorite celebrity. Data were collected through an online survey (N = 210). Primary findings suggest that celebrity followers’ loneliness is positively related to frequent visits of their favorite celebrity’s social media, greater social-interpersonal motive for following the celebrity, and greater enjoyment of learning about personal life stories of the celebrity. Social presence is found to be a significant moderator that can intensify more favorable parasocial relationship perceptions with the celebrity.     

VR的审美辨思

VR是当前最新、最热的内容创意领域,是伴随着计算机人工智能发展起来的计算机应用技术,也有人称其为一种新的媒体或一种新的艺术形式。从审美体验来看,它带来了一些新的变化,如临场式沉浸、强烈感官冲击的审美对象、纯粹的审美主体。这些变化的发生,从传统美学的观点来看,究竟是终极式审美还是审美的终结,还需拭目以待。     

机器中的幽灵 ——解读文本内外的《宣叙》

莫里森的批评论著《在黑暗中演奏：白色与文学想象》是作家对美国经典文学长期审视和反思的结果。通过分析白人经典作品中的非裔在场,我们可以揭示出“美国性”的本质和美国“文学白色”神话的炮制过程。如果将短篇小说《宣叙》与《演奏》并置,我们可以看到故事中的麦基其实是对后者所评述的美国经典文学中非裔在场的影射。麦基这个人物的再现是反射性的,与美国经典文学对非裔人物的再现如出一辙。二者的不同在于,故事揭示并最终反拨了人物再现的内在机制。《宣叙》对美国经典文学的观照,实质上是以隐晦的手法介入美国文学的经典辩论,传达了作者文化修正的愿望。     

“关系”当哲学的主角:形而上学不死

起自尼采,经由存在主义、结构主义与后现代主义对于传统形而上学的彻底批判,这个创作哲学和思考哲学的研究范式,就像上帝死亡那样,似乎也处在弥留之际。这种看法有点肤浅。这些叛逆的哲学流派,在批判传统形而上学的过程中,也构造了属于自己的形而上学的概念和方法,形成了自己的研究范式。20世纪,“关系”从哲学的方法论范畴,一跃而成为元哲学范畴,成为引领新型形而上学的关节点。因此,形而上学没死。形而上学不会死,因为没有形而上学就没有哲学。关系研究的关键则是必须由无目的的合目的性原则以非在场性凸显出来。任何以在场性规定的关系准则都是话语的暴政。关系由凸显的方式实现．以罗素悖论和哥德尔定理为代表的逻辑与哲学中的最大难题就将迎刃而解。     

Southern knowledge online? Climate change research discoverability and communication practices

The networked age promises global digital cultures with flattened power relations, given the affordances of information and communication technologies to collapse distance, enable easier cross-country collaborations and create new opportunities for knowledge production and sharing. In the academic domains, indications are that knowledge patterns continue to reflect physically based geopolitical realities – where knowledge from the South is still peripheral while knowledge from the North still dominates in terms of all the conventional metrics. This study explores the potential role of digital affordances to challenge structural Northern bias and generates questions about knowledge production and dissemination in the climate change knowledge domain. It is framed by the field of scholarly communication within an African setting and by the emergent field of climate change which is fraught with debates and contestations, particularly regarding mitigation and adaptation. It draws on Southern theory which interrogates the global dynamics of knowledge production and dissemination. It explores the intersection of the discoverability and visibility of local climate change research methodologically from the outside in, through an experiment of searches for ‘climate change/South Africa’ and from the inside out by reviewing the online presence of one climate change group in a top-ranked African university.     

父亲在位对大学生心理弹性的影响

采用Connor-Davidson心理弹性量表中文版(CD-RISC)和父亲在位问卷中文修订版(FPQ-R)对532名大学生进行调查,探讨大学生心理弹性与父亲在位之间的关系。结果表明:大学生父亲在位与心理弹性之间存在显著相关性;父母关系、父亲与祖父的关系和父亲影响的概念能显著预测大学生的心理弹性;父亲与祖父的关系、父母关系、父亲影响的概念和父亲的身体互动能显著预测大学生心理弹性的坚韧特质;父母关系、父亲与祖父的关系和父亲影响的概念能显著预测大学生心理弹性的力量特质;父母关系和父亲参与的感知能显著预测大学生心理弹性的乐观特质。高品质的父亲在位有利于子女心理弹性的良好发展,是大学生心理弹性的保护性因素。     

喧嚣世纪的启明星－－西方马克思主义文论的文本意识形态辨析

西方马克思主义文论家在阐述文本意识形态与现实意识形态关系的基础上,更突出强调“文本意识形态”的不在场化。它隐藏在文本的形式当中,通过形式的变化,达到超越现实、揭示现实的目的、同时也暗示出一个理想的未来。面欣赏者在阅读文本的过程中,在对形式的透彻领悟中,受到深刻的审美教育,进而回到“诗意”的生存状态。
