Leveraging social grouping for trust building in foreign electronic commerce firms: An exploratory study

Internet development has fueled e-commerce firms’ globalization efforts, but many have met with only limited success. This often stems from the foreign firms’ limited understanding of a focal country's local culture and idiosyncrasies. Foreign firms are usually viewed as out-group entities, which lowers consumers’ trust in them. The extent of such a phenomenon varies. In locations where people are more skeptical of out-groups, a critical question is whether it is possible to transform such foreign out-group firms into in-groups, specifically with the support of popular social networking media. Based on Social Identity Theory and Trust Transference Process, five strategies leveraging social grouping and social ties to build trust for foreign electronic commerce firms were proposed. A survey was conducted to examine their effectiveness. The results suggest that social-grouping strategies are useful for in-grouping foreign out-group entities to build trust, and the effectiveness of strategies is determined by the social similarity and psychological distance between the consumer and the endorser. This has important implications for scholars and practitioners, both local and abroad, to leverage social grouping to boost Internet sales.     

社会创新及其与技术创新的协同发展

文章在剖析社会创新的内涵及特征的基础上,分析了社会创新对技术创新的影响机制以及二者协同发展的途径。研究表明,社会创新往往是技术创新的前提、伴随情况或结果,技术创新则为社会创新的实现提供了手段与工具。建设创新型国家的关键在于实现技术创新与社会创新的互动与协同．而社会企业及企业社会创新是推进”社会创新一技术创新”协同发展的重要形式。     

引文国际化对论文被引的影响研究

[目的/意义]在学术交流日趋国际化的背景下,本文拟探索引文国际化与被引量之间的关系,力图回答良好的国际视野是否有助于提升论文的学术影响力这一学界普遍关注的问题。[研究设计/方法]以社会科学为研究对象,选取管理学、图书情报学和新闻传播学的181,406篇CSSCI论文为研究样本,采用相关分析、非参数检验与回归分析的方法研究引用外文期刊论文的数量、学术质量、学科领域、时效性对论文被引量的影响。[结论/发现]在控制了文献类型、期刊声誉等若干可能影响论文被引量的因素后,发现样本论文的引文国际化水平对其被引量具有显著的正向影响。具体而言,引用外文期刊论文的数量越多、平均学术质量越高、学科专属度越高、平均时效性越强的论文具有更高的被引量。[创新/价值]证实了国际视野有助于提升中文社科论文的学术影响力,并提出了有针对性的建议。     

“I Can Air My Feelings Instead of Eating Them”: Blogging as Social Support for the Morbidly Obese

The morbidly obese, defined as people who are 100 pounds or more overweight, are the fastest growing population among the obese. They often live with health risks, face discrimination, and lack traditional social support. This article explores the use of weight loss blogs by the morbidly obese (N = 50) and argues that blogging provides invaluable computer-mediated social support for them in four ways: (a) it allows for empathy; (b) it ensures accountability to others; (c) it provides venting and advice seeking; and (d) it shares validation of the weight loss experience. Additionally, the article argues that social support scholars must move beyond chat rooms and message boards as media and explore more media-rich environments such as blogging and social networks.     

从CSSCI引文年代分布看中国社会科学期刊影响因子的计算

Garfield等在20世纪60年代提出的期刊影响因子是评价期刊的重要指标之一。对中文社会科学引文索引(CSSCI)来源论文之引文年代分布及其与美国社会科学引文索引(SSCI)的比较分析说明两者基本一致,对CSSCI引文中中文期刊、中文社科学术期刊及CSSCI来源期刊的年代分布分析说明:中文社科期刊的被引高峰期与国际期刊被引高峰期相同,均在其出版后的第二年和第三年。国际通用的影响因子算法完全适用于中国的中文人文社会科学期刊。     

Making Compliance Seem More Important: The “Just-One-More” Technique of Gaining Compliance

A new compliance-gaining technique is introduced called the “just-one-more” (JOM) technique that increases compliance rates by including the phrase “I just need one more person to help.” Two studies are reported (N = 160 in each). The first established the effectiveness of the technique as compared to a direct request. The second tested the hypothesis that goal difficulty moderates the technique's effectiveness in a 2 (JOM or direct request) × 2 (requester needs five surveys or 100). Results indicate that the JOM was substantially more effective than a direct request in the 100 surveys condition but not the five.

政策变迁视角下创新生态系统演化研究 ——以新能源汽车产业为例

在政策变迁视角下构建新能源汽车创新生态系统的“结构-种群-环境”演化分析框架,将我国新能源汽车产业发展分为技术探索、示范推广、快速发展、质量发展四个阶段,基于1991—2021年中国新能源汽车产业的专利联合申请数据,构建产业技术创新专利合作网络。研究结果表明,我国新能源汽车产业政策变迁与创新生态系统演变是一个协同演化的过程,以国家电网为代表的电力公司逐渐成为网络中的核心节点,研究机构和高校成为次要核心节点;创新生态系统主体共生的广度提升而深度降低,中心性和生态位变动较小,在技术上的应变性一直较强。对此应当坚持市场主导和政府引导,遵循产业规律;鼓励核心技术攻关,构建多方深度参与的技术创新网络;促进市场竞争,推动兼并重组;布局自主知识产权体系,助力国际技术竞争。
