摘要:Despite a growing stream of research documenting the prevalence of fake online reviews and improving their automated detection, little is known about how consumers make real or fake judgments of reviews with unknown veracity. Integrating literature on truth-default theory and deception motives, we propose that consumers have a general tendency to view reviews as real rather than fake (a truth bias) and to be more accurate at detecting real reviews than fake reviews (a veracity effect). Moreove...

摘要:This study examines the impact of discrete emotional expression (i.e., expression of anxiety, sadness, anger, disgust, love, joy, surprise, and anticipation) on the differential diffusion of online content in social media networks. We conducted an analysis on a random sample of 387,486 online articles and their corresponding diffusion cascades, involving more than six million unique individuals, on a major online social networking platform. Our investigation focused on the relationships betwee...

摘要:With the rise of short-form videos, the mental impact on viewers has led to widespread consequences, prompting platforms to predict videos' impact on viewers' mental health. Subsequently, platforms can take intervention measures according to their community guidelines. Nevertheless, applicable predictive methods lack relevance to wellestablished medical knowledge, which outlines clinically proven external and environmental factors of mental disorders. To account for such medical knowledge, we ...

摘要:A significant body of research has explored various antecedent determinants of crowdfunding success. However, the mixed findings and a lack of theoretical consensus in this domain have impeded efforts to understand which factors truly influence crowdfunding success. In response to this challenge, we carry out a meta-analysis of pertinent research on crowdfunding success factors, guided by the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) to construct central and peripheral information links. Drawing upon...

摘要:We investigate the impact of using smartphones in the classrooms on students' academic performance. We collaborated with a vocational school in China to randomly allocate students taking Chinese verbal lectures into one of four experimental conditions: (i) smartphones banned, (ii) smartphones allowed and used at will by students without guidance, (iii) smartphones allowed and used at will by students with teachers prompting students to use the smartphones to assist instruction, and (iv) smartp...

摘要:The emotionality expressed in social media posts is a crucial driver of social media engagement. Limited work, however, has considered how features of the target audience moderate the effectiveness of content characteristics such as emotionality. In the political domain, understanding the impacts-and potential limitations-of emotionality in political communications has taken on new urgency because multiple stakeholders stand to benefit from decreased political emotionality. In this research, w...

摘要:Despite growing interest in how artificial intelligence (AI) affects the labor market, there is limited understanding of the labor-related factors driving firms to invest in AI. Drawing on the institutional perspective of media coverage, we propose that media exposure of labor issues exerts reputational pressure on firms, heightening their awareness of the necessity and urgency to address these problems. Consequently, firms are driven to invest in AI as a potential solution, given its capabili...

摘要:Third-party skill certification is widely employed to address the ubiquitous information asymmetry between workers and employers. Offering certification tests at zero cost could be a natural strategy to encourage workers to certify their skills; however, neither theoretical nor empirical studies have examined how employers react to such a policy. This research fills that gap. First, we develop a stylized model to theorize the effects of free certification tests on employers' recruitment decisi...

摘要:The remarkable success in personalized recommendations on digital platforms has sparked interest in extending this advancement to physical spaces. In response, our study introduces a generalized recommendation problem, named point-of-interest (POI) recommendations in physical spaces with pedestrian movement (P3M). A critical yet under-investigated impediment in addressing P3M is exposure bias: When the exposure likelihood of items to users is unevenly distributed, indiscriminately treating all...

摘要:Survey-based research in information systems requires valid scales to advance theory, and the discipline has developed rigorous procedures to assess scale validity. In principle, these procedures ensure that scales consist of clear indicators and faithfully represent the focal construct. However, the focus on the psychometric properties of scales has overshadowed the role of lexical and semantic elements in the validation process, leading to invalid scales. This overemphasis on psychometric pr...
