Lee, Hosun, Dae Ryun Chang, and Sabine Einwiller. "A study on the dynamics between the moral reasoning process and celebrity image and their impact on consumers’ support for celebrity comebacks after a transgression." Journal of Product & Brand Management 29, no. 6 (2020): 729–43. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/jpbm-02-2019-2259.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose This study aims to examine how consumers use a moral reasoning process to defend preferred celebrity and celebrity brand images and specifically, the processes for supporting the celebrity’s comeback after a transgression. Design/methodology/approach Study 1 measures consumers’ preference for celebrities and their support for them after a transgression and tests whether the celebrity’s image moderates consumers’ preference for celebrities and their support of them to come back. Study 2 examines the effect of the specific moral reasoning processes and tests whether it leads to different levels of support after a transgression, depending on the primed celebrity image. Findings Results show celebrity preference is positively related to consumer support of a celebrity’s return after a wrongdoing. This relationship is moderated by the celebrity’s image (Study 1). The authors find that a celebrity primed with a role model image receives more support for a comeback in the moral rationalization condition, whereas a celebrity primed with a bad boy image receives more support in the moral decoupling condition (Study 2). Research limitations/implications First, in the empirical studies, using a pre-test, the authors chose transgressions that were unrelated to the celebrities’ profession and that had an intermediate level of severity. Moreover, these transgressions were manipulated using information about fictitious celebrities to control for pre-existing respondents’ differences on information or biases about them and confounding characteristics between identified celebrities. Despite the control benefits, the disadvantage of this approach could be that respondents’ involvement with the celebrities may be generally lower as compared to studies that use known celebrities (Fong and Wyer, 2012). The involvement or attachment with known celebrities by respondents may be a factor that determines the power of a specific human brand. By using fictitious celebrities, the effects related to human brands may have been bounded or based more on celebrity archetypes. Another limitation is that both Studies 1 and 2 collected data using an online panel. To make the results more generalizable, the authors can contemplate on-site experimental designs or a qualitative approach in future research. The latter may also facilitate the use of known human brands to understand how they interact with other mediating factors without having to worry about control of confounds between respondents. Finally, there is a potential inflation of moral sensitivity stemming from measuring moral reasoning in Study 1 after informing participants about a celebrity transgression. While the authors followed other studies in this procedure, for the effects related to measuring across different image groups this would be less critical, as all participants would be affected in a similar way. However, there remains the possibility that the inflation bias could be higher for one celebrity type and could be a limitation or even a topic considered for future research that delves into specific relationships between celebrity image type and morality judgment bias. Practical implications The results of this study have managerial implications for the various stakeholders involved. First, for celebrities, especially role models, living up to expectations congruent to the performances and brand images that they have developed is important. This will necessitate them to manage their consumers’ expectations, and perhaps, suggest that they do not create unrealistically high ones. Although consumer expectations have not often taken center stage as a theoretical issue in recent consumer research, they may still be important for consumers’ evaluations and choices (Howard and Sheth, 1969). In addition, this study offers implications for public relations agencies or management companies that promote and manage celebrities. Although consumers in many countries have a higher preference for celebrities with a role model image, the authors see that being such a human brand can be potentially counterproductive amid scandals. If the level of supporters’ commitment for a celebrity is high and the attachment relationship is strong, then constructing a diverse and flexible image spectrum may be more advantageous in the long term than adhering to just the role model image. In the event that a misbehavior has occurred, celebrities, to the extent that they can identify their brand image, need to assess more precisely the type of moral judgment and support they are likely or unlikely to receive after the transgressions. Based on that analysis, the misbehaving celebrities may have to adjust the rehabilitation period or act of redemption. Finally, the conventional wisdom used by advertising agencies or corporations that the bad boy image of celebrities is more vulnerable to a negative event, needs to be reconsidered (Aaker et al., 2004). This rethinking is aligned with other past research that have also argued that transgressions do not necessarily have an adverse impact on associated brands (Lee and Kwak, 2016). Thus, when advertising agencies use celebrities, they must consider the congruence between the human brand image and the company and review the source and depth of the reasons why supporters like celebrities using a broader perspective. Social implications Although consumers in many countries have a higher preference for celebrities with a role model image, the authors see that being such a human brand can be potentially counterproductive amid scandals. For them constructing a diverse and flexible image spectrum may be more advantageous in the long term than adhering to just the unrealistic role model image. Celebrities need to assess more precisely the type of moral judgment and support they are likely or unlikely to receive after the transgressions. Based on that analysis, the misbehaving celebrities may have to adjust the rehabilitation period or act of societal redemption. Originality/value The study makes three key contributions by combining celebrity image and moral psychology to assess how consumers pass moral judgment on celebrities who transgress according to different image types, examining the mediation effect of moral reasoning in the relationship between consumer preferences for a celebrity and their support for them after transgressions and looking at consumer support for a comeback of the transgressing celebrity as the dependent variable and not just the effects of the immediate fallout. The value of this study, therefore, lies in understanding the specific dynamics between consumer preference, celebrity image, moral reasoning processes and consumer support to accept a celebrity’s return after a transgression.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Climate change and global population growth are threatening the sustainability of hospitality food systems. Foodservice organizations are seeking an optimal solution for this problem. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization proposed edible insects as a solution, yet the “yuck” factor discourages consumers from actively endorsing this option. Thus, this study aims to find ways to increase consumer acceptance of edible insects. Design/methodology/approach A 2 (message framing: hedonic vs utilitarian) × 2 (celebrity endorsement: absence vs presence) × 2 (social support: low vs high) between-subjects factorial design experiment was conducted. Findings The significant three-way interaction effects show that when celebrity endorsement is absent, there is no difference in restaurant advocacy (RA) and experience satisfaction between utilitarian and hedonic message framing, regardless of low (vs high) social support. However, when celebrity endorsement is present and social support is not lacking, a hedonic (vs a utilitarian) message had more significant effects on dependent variables. Conversely, when celebrity-endorsed messages receive high social support, utilitarian (vs hedonic) messages had a more substantial effect on the outcome variables. Originality/value This study contributes to alternative protein and associated consumer psychology and hospitality marketing literature by introducing marketing strategies for edible insects. By demonstrating the three-way interaction effects of message framing, celebrity, endorsement and social support on RA and experience satisfaction, this study could demonstrate some boundary conditions to consider when applying celebrity endorsement strategies (e.g. message framing and social support). Also, by addressing the effects of social support, this study builds upon the lack of hospitality literature on online social support.

Here, I report the results of two randomized, posttest only, control group, survey experiments in which respondents were exposed to factual information about celebrity support for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election campaign. Based on previous research, I hypothesize that celebrity endorsements will affect the emotions of enthusiasm, anger, and anxiety vis-à-vis Secretary Clinton. My results provide support for the general notion that celebrity endorsements can affect voter emotions. Specifically, I find that celebrity endorsements profoundly decreased the negative emotions of anger and anxiety vis-à-vis Secretary Clinton. My research suggests that a broad range of stimuli may affect voter emotions, which in turn affect political attitudes and behavior.

Full textAbstract:
To explore how celebrity memorabilia collectors use their memorabilia collections to engage with a media persona(e), we draw from two distinct concepts. The first concept is Brown’s definition of celebrity worship. This serves as the lens to explore how audiences engage in this process of worship. Specific attention is given to three key anchor points within this definition: commitment, love and devotion. The second concept is Maltby’s three levels of celebrity worship. This provides a framework to explain the ways in which the memorabilia collectors use their collections to conform or disconform to various levels of celebrity worship. A total of 21 in-depth interviews were conducted with collectors of celebrity memorabilia. Findings support a need for a total reconceptualization of celebrity worship levels and an introduction of a newly conceptualized level to adequately explain celebrity memorabilia collectors. Furthermore, findings also suggest a conceptual unity between the two concepts. Overall, our study provides a more diverse way of understanding celebrity memorabilia collectors.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe article discusses the celebrity humanitarian as media construction. Departing from a discussion of celebrification, the article argues that celebrities in public roles outside the field of entertainment are inevitably framed by and structured in accordance with celebrity logic. The article discusses how celebrity humanitarianism is a contested field, which, in order for a particular activity to support the celebrity persona, relies heavily on strategies of authentification. Finally, the article shows how information about a photograph of Angelina Jolie from her trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo in March 2013 is transformed and translated into gossip about the star’s private life when discussed by users on a celebrity site.

As a form of contemporary philanthropic organizations, celebrity foundations have emerged as a new entity in the field of social charity. Supported by the personal identity and influence of celebrities, the development of celebrity foundations is significantly influenced by their fame and impact. Compared to traditional foundations, celebrity foundations possess broader influence and quicker fundraising capabilities. However, Chinese celebrity foundations also encounter challenges during operation, such as excessive reliance on celebrity effects, insufficient management capabilities, lack of transparency, and insufficient specialization. In response to these challenges, celebrity foundations should improve in the following aspects: firstly, celebrity foundations should moderately separate from celebrities and establish their own brand and credibility. Secondly, internal governance structures need further enhancement, with increased supervision and standardization of fund utilization and project management, as well as collaboration with professional teams to provide more specialized support for celebrity foundations. Lastly, talent recruitment and cultivation should be emphasized to establish a specialized team belonging to the foundations brand, thus enhancing the foundations management level and operational efficiency.

Full textAbstract:
With the booming development of socio-economic and Internet technology, social culture has also continued to improve and enrich the times. Fan culture is given a new cultural connotation, and the fans cover the coverage of all sectors of society, which has attracted widespread attention. This study explores the correlation between parasocial relationships and celebrity worship among young Chinese women, utilizing questionnaires to examine how social connections influence celebrity worship behavior and its impact on well-being. The findings reveal a significant association between parasocial connections with celebrities and the level of celebrity worship. Despite potential adverse effects, celebrity worship provides emotional support and fosters a positive outlook on the future through parasocial relationships. The research also delves into the psychological mechanisms underlying the formation of these relationships, emphasizing the role of social media and celebrity culture. Understanding celebrity worship among young Chinese women contributes to our understanding of fan behavior, personal identity development, and the broader socio-cultural context of media and celebrity in contemporary society.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to determine the tendency of celebrity endorse mediated by brand awareness impact to attract buying interest from the public. This is because celebrities are people who are well known to the public and have there are charm. So that with the support of celebrities will have an impact on the sale of their products. Some marketplaces use celebrities as brand ambassadors to attract buyers, besides it will give celebrity brands that are constantly remembered by customers. In this study because the population is unknown, the sampling technique uses purposive sampling as many as 310 respondents. The analysis technique used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that brand awareness mediates the influence of celebrities on customer interest when a celebrity carries advertisements will give the impression to customers that the celebrity has a good reputation and attractiveness will have a good impact. Besides the marketplace in choosing a celebrity will look for those who can deliver advertisements with professionals. The implication of this research is the need for celebrity support related to the importance of attracting people’s purchasing power to the marketplace, in addition to a well-known combination of a good reputation and attractive appearance has added value that will provide reminders to customers.

With the popularity and growth of live streaming e-commerce, customers in China rely heavily on suggestions and recommendations from live streamers and peers in the live streaming e-commerce community when making purchase decisions. Enhancing customer engagement in the context of live streaming e-commerce is critical for operators looking to maximize traffic monetization. Applying the social support theory and Source model from endorser theory, I develop theoretical model to understand how live steamers and the community effect on customer engagement, which is tested by using 100 valid responses from customers in Taobao Live. The results show that credibility of live streamer (expertise, trustworthiness and attractiveness) and attractiveness of live streamer (familiarity, likeability, and similarity) had positively significant relationships with social support (emotional support and informational support) and customer engagement. Specially, the unexpected result that emotional support has negative effect on customer engagement provides a new perspective about community in live streaming context is totally different from s-commerce. It emphasises the significance of comprehending the implications of community formation from various perspectives in live streaming e-commerce.

Full textAbstract:
<p> The purpose of this study was to analyze and evaluate the effects administrative support has on beginning secondary teachers in the state of California. The application of a four-level leadership program, BICE, on secondary school campuses provided beginning secondary teachers support and confidence in their roles as effective educators. The BICE leadership program incorporated a four-level sequential cycle to build rapport, increase feedback, celebrate success, and exceed results for beginning secondary teachers. Administrators used the four levels to reframe their role as leaders at their school site. Three areas of focus were addressed to analyze the effects of the BICE leadership program: professional development, stress, and administration. Beginning secondary teachers developed a higher priority towards professional development with an increase in willingness to observe and collaborate. The BICE leadership program lowered the levels of stress for beginning secondary teachers and increased job satisfaction. The study validated the importance administrative rapport has on beginning secondary teachers. The researcher recommends further study of the BICE leadership program and its impact on veteran secondary teachers or secondary athletic coaches, which could add greater significance to the effectiveness of rapport in the educational field.</p><p>

La tesis se encarga de analizar, por un lado, la integración y el desarrollo de las nuevas tecnologías en la Administración de Justicia; y, por otro, los parámetros que constituyen la validez y eficacia del documento electrónico. <br/>La primera cuestión se centra en la configuración de los Sistemas de Información de la Oficina Judicial y del Ministerio Fiscal, así como de la informatización de los Registros Civiles, donde el art. 230 LOPJ es la pieza clave. Se estudian sus programas, aplicaciones, la videoconferencia, los ficheros judiciales y las redes de telecomunicaciones que poseen la cobertura de la firma electrónica reconocida, donde cobran gran relevancia los convenios de colaboración tecnológica. La digitalización de las vistas quizá sea una de las cuestiones con más trascendencia, teniendo en cuenta que el juicio es el acto que culmina el proceso. Aunque no todos los proyectos adoptados en el ámbito de la e.justicia se han desarrollado de forma integral, ni han llegado a la totalidad de los órganos judiciales. El objetivo final es lograr una Justicia más ágil y de calidad, a lo cual aspira el Plan Estratégico de Modernización de la Justicia 2009-2012 aprobado recientemente.<br/>En referencia a la segunda perspectiva, no cabe duda que el Ordenamiento jurídico y los tribunales, en el ámbito de la justicia material, otorgan plena validez y eficacia al documento electrónico. Nuestra línea de investigación se justifica porque cada vez son más los procesos que incorporan soportes electrónicos de todo tipo, ya sea al plantearse la acción o posteriormente como medio de prueba (art. 299.2 LEC). Entre otros temas examinamos el documento informático, la problemática que rodea al fax, los sistemas de videograbación y el contrato electrónico.<br>La tesi s'encarrega d'analitzar, per una part, la integració i el desenvolupament de les noves tecnologies dins l´Administració de Justícia; i, per l'altra, els paràmetres que constitueixen la validesa i l'eficàcia del document electrònic. <br/>La primera qüestió es centra en la configuració dels Sistemes d´Informació de l´Oficina Judicial i del Ministeri Fiscal, així com de la informatització dels Registres Civils, on l'art. 230 LOPJ es la peça clau.

Their programmes, applications, the Video Conferencing, the judicial registers and the telecommunication networks which are covered by the recognised electronic signatures, are studied, where the agreements on technological collaboration gain great relevance. The digitalisation of evidence might perhaps be one of the questions with most consequence, bearing in mind that the judgment is the act by which the process is culminated. Although not all the projects adopted within the compass of e.justice have developed completely nor have reached all the judicial organs. The final objective is to achieve an agile, quality Justice, to which the recently approved Strategic Plan for the Modernisation of Justice aspires.<br/>With reference to the second perspective, there is no doubt that the juridical Ordinance and the tribunals within the compass of material justice grant full validity and efficacy to the electronic document. Our line of investigation is justified because there are more and more processes which are sustained by electronic supports of all kinds, whether it be at the establishment of the action or later, as a proof of it (art. 299.2 LEC). Amongst other things, we examine the computerised document, the problems which surround the fax, the systems for video recording and the electronic contract.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe influence of media on self-injurious thoughts and behaviors, including self-harm and suicide, has received attention for decades. Research reveals mixed evidence on the relationship between media and self-harm and suicide. This is likely because media narratives differ, as do contemporary media formats, and the ways audience members consume and interact with media content and one another. This chapter summarizes what we currently know and do not yet know about the relationships between self-harm and suicide and (1) mass media coverage, (2) social media, and (3) video games. For mass media, evidence is strongest for the influence of media reports of celebrity suicides on subsequent suicide attempts. The effects of fictional suicide narratives have produced mixed results. Evidence regarding the influence of social media and video games often depends on the types of interactions people have and the content consumed. Most research is cross-sectional or correlational, limiting causal inference. Media platforms may also offer unprecedented opportunities to extend prevention efforts and support and educate young people. Effective strategies to reduce media harms, while enhancing their benefits, are critical. Based on existing evidence, we describe future research needs and make recommendations for youths, parents, schools, clinicians, media, and policymakers.

Full textAbstract:
Giovan Girolamo Carli, a Sienese scholar (1719-1786), focused on the language of the Letters, usually considered a secondary aspect compared to their historical and theological value. Probably pushed by an anonimous client, Carli was planning to publish the first critical edition of the Letters, strictly philological, supported by insights on the life of the Blessed and a dictionary. His manuscript drafts, even incomplete, are however a precious source for reconstructing the original documents tradition, since he directly consulted and compared different and authoritative copies. Carli's purpose was to celebrate a fellow citizen, but also to prove the Sienese linguistic primacy instead of the Florentine one – as in art historiography –, and propose an authentic style against the contemporary mediocrity.

Full textAbstract:
No prophet in his own land, “Citizen Saull” approached French savants. At home he had praised the July Revolution (1830), and would celebrate its anniversary yearly. And he introduced French-style funeral orations at radical funerals, as dissidents took over the last rites. He was known on the Continent, as a French-speaking wine importer, and as Robert Owen’s interlocutor in Paris. Unlike elite English geologists, the Parisians were more open to planetary explanations of stratal disposition. Republican geologists put him up for the Société Géologique de France and he was elected in 1834. His Essay on the Coincidence of Astronomical & Geological Phenomena (1836) was accordingly addressed to the Société. At home, marginal astrologers, looking to raise their status, extolled the book, not exactly the support Saull was looking for. Days after his induction into the Société, Saull was sending his coal-seam ferns to the fossil botanist Adolphe Brongniart, who made one a type species, Sigillaria saullii. Such immortalization raised Saul’s stock, and acted as a further imprimatur for his museum

Full textAbstract:
This chapter identifies the two ways in which celebrity had a hand in ancient DNA's formation from the 1980s to today. First, popular interest helped to shape the practice of science by influencing the questions researchers asked, the funding they received, and the way they framed their research when communicating to wider popular and political audiences about its significance. Second, press and public recognition helped to define the search for DNA from fossils as a discipline in its own right. In the absence of an overarching theoretical framework and of consistent financial or institutional support, popular attention gave the field and the scientists within it a sort of status. However, the introduction of next-generation sequencing (NGS) at the turn of the century changed the situation for the community. NGS offered an opportunity to overcome some of its most persistent technological challenges, namely the lack of data and problem of contamination.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explains that although the science and technology of ancient DNA research initially inspired Jurassic Park, the practice was in turn influenced by the celebrity that surrounded this blockbuster phenomenon. The interplay between scientists and the media, specifically around the idea of discovering dinosaur DNA, influenced research agendas, publication decisions, grant funding, professional recruitment, visibility, and public perceptions of ancient DNA research. By the mid-1990s, ancient DNA research had become much more than a public-facing science; it had become a celebrity science. Celebrity facilitated ancient DNA's disciplinary formation in terms of community cohesion and identity. Under the name of “ancient DNA research” and in the wave of hype around it, researchers were unified in their investigation of DNA from fossils even at a time when the practice lacked clear and consistent financial or institutional support.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the ambivalence at work in the cultural afterlife of Cleopatra on stage and on screen. Three aspects of the resuscitation of a political body frozen into a mythic signifier come into play: celebrity as a modern form of political charisma, theatrical spectacle as support of political power and imaginary projection as a tool for feminine selfperformance. Shakespeare’s late tragedy and Mankiewicz’s Hollywood epic are the main texts discussed.

The 1915 state referendum required leaders like Carrie Chapman Catt and Harriot Stanton Blatch to move beyond recruiting female allies and instead convince legislators and men with the ballot to support women’s rights. This chapter describes how activists quickly rallied their urban army to do so: public health nurses courted immigrant support, actresses used their celebrity to draw attention, socialites poured money into the treasury, and teachers forfeited their summer vacations for organizational work. City organizations, including the Woman Suffrage Party, pooled resources to form the Empire State Campaign Committee. Everyone recognized that winning the state’s forty-five Electoral College votes would be a pivotal step toward achieving a national amendment. However, obstacles remained. Organizers chafed at police restrictions, faced resistance at sporting events, and needed to relocate headquarters in an ever-changing rental marketplace. Ultimately, more than three hundred thousand men voted against women’s right to the franchise at the 1915 referendum, ensuring that polling places would remain distinctly male terrain in an increasingly heterosocial city.

Abstract In 1953, Harry Benjamin began a long association as friend and physician to transgender pioneer Christine Jorgensen when she returned to New York after her medical transition in Denmark. Jorgensen became a celebrity, bringing public attention to the lives of people who identified as transsexual. Benjamin’s practice in gerontology declined in the 1950s so he had time to begin writing up his clinical findings about his transgender patients. He was aided by his secretary, later research associate, Virginia Allen. Reed Erikson, a trans man, created the Erickson Educational Foundation which funded research, education and support for many areas, especially transsexualism. The Harry Benjamin Foundation was created in 1964, thanks to support from the Erickson Educational Foundation; it consisted of a community of physicians and psychologists gathered by Benjamin who were sympathetic to medical gender transition. Together, they conducted research to evaluate the success of their treatments and to investigate possible genetic, hormonal or neurophysiological factors underlying cross-gender identities.

Many of the patterns of party politics we have witnessed in Central Europe are also in evidence in other regions of the world. From Iceland to Israel, from Greece, and Guatemala, and in countries as diverse as Peru and Japan, new parties and politicians have broken through, and some old, seemingly well-established, parties have lost significant levels of support or collapsed altogether. The emergence of new parties in many countries across the globe follow the patterns of their predecessors in Central Europe, with thin organization, celebrity leaders and appeals based on anti-corruption, and newness itself. Many of these new parties have also exhibited short shelf-lives, living fast and dying young, creating space and a voting base for a subsequent wave of new parties.

Desert Storm generated significant support for defense reform. This momentum was due in part to the timing of the war and the celebrity status General Schwarzkopf enjoyed following the US victory. With the end of the Cold War on the horizon and domestic pressure building to embrace the “peace dividend,” the conditions were set for policy makers and national security organizations to be more receptive to change. Schwarzkopf’s popularity ensured that any critiques he made were taken seriously and their legitimacy little questioned. Despite Schwarzkopf’s complaints being misplaced and later partially recanted, his words were embraced by policy makers and were influential in building the momentum for change. In this regard, Schwarzkopf can be both criticized for his uninformed criticism of the Intelligence Community and credited for the change his comments helped generate.

Social media is an online media platform based on interests and creative content formed by a group of Internet users. Internet celebrities are people who become famous on the Internet, increasing their popularity by their social networking or video websites. Social commerce (s-ecommerce) is the combination of social relations and commercial transaction activities. The combination of social media and Internet celebrities is an emerging model for the development of s-ecommerce. Recommendation systems are an effective alternative to search algorithms because they help users find items that they are unlikely to find on their own. Currently, businesses have relied on cookies to collect consumer online data, especially to support advertising and collect keywords, and with this change will require businesses to find alternative ways to collect user data and information. With recent advances in information technologies, recommendation systems are gradually moving to develop intentional and behavioral recommendations. The Internet has numerous signals that goods are in demand. Therefore, the behavioral signal targeting of traditional recommendation systems differs from the intentional signal targeting for recommendations. It can be said that behavioral recommendation is a point-to-point marketing extension, where merchants find the people who want to buy a product and deliver that product. For example, behavioral recommendation occurs when a consumer clicks on a smartphone store catalog. The system shows "This person is looking for smartphones”. So, for the next two weeks, when the consumer clicks on a website, ads for smartphones will pop up. Behavioral recommendations can only provide marketing/promotion based on past behavior records. On the other hand, intentional recommendation is a mindset that seeks to understand consumers' lives and intentions; constantly collecting information about Internet users' behavior and monitoring events and information in consumers' lives, it leads consumers to explore their needs gradually, wants, and demands. Intentional recommendation depicts a person's life through the things (signals) the consumer clicks on. Based on this, it analyzes the person’s specific profile, and then further presents information that they may need (targeting). The information relates not only to commodities but also includes smartphone apps, news, social media, socializing, gaming KOL, etc., on smartphones. In these regards, this study considers that signal targeting is a method by which social media operators and internet celebrities’ platforms can understand consumers’ media tools preferences and individual lifestyles so that operators can effectively recommend social commerce to consumers. Thus, this study first implements a two-stage data mining analytics, including clustering analysis and association rules, to investigate Taiwan users (n=2,102) to investigate social media, and Internet celebrities’ preferences to find knowledge profiles/patterns/rules for s-ecommerce intentional and behavioral recommendations.

Full textAbstract:
In the fall of 2020 a university recruiter and an industrial design faculty member met to engage and inform high school students through an hour and a half long workshop. Specifically, we wanted to target underrepresented people groups from within our state and give them a glimpse of what working in a creative profession might look like. As we started to develop the workshop we learned that we needed to strike a balance between three main criteria. We needed to reference practicing professional designers and share their experiences. We needed to champion a collaborative and iterative design processes. And we needed to make the content accessible and entertaining. The method by which we join and convey these criteria is through a shoe design workshop. Why shoes one may ask? Because all students have experience with footwear and all students have an option about their choice of fashion.From the very conception of the workshop we have held conversations with professional shoe designers on how to run this workshop. While industrial design faculty are well versed in the design process they frequently lack the real world experience of designing a shoe from idea to manufacturing and marketing. To compensate for a lack of knowledge we reach out to prominent shoe designers at Q4 Sports, Adidas, Cole Hann, and Fear of God. These designers stress conducting rigorous research and beginning any visual development using the lateral view. In addition, they gifted the workshop with the drawings of their most popular shoes so each student could use the same underlying framework that the professionals use. The second challenge is to champion the collaborative and iterative process. Sadly, the abundant mechanism of high school testing discourages conversations with peers and multiple correct answers. To boost collaboration we encourage students to support each workshop with the most recent information via social media. We allow them to use their phones during class so long that they add culturally relevant information to the existing framework. To encourage iteration we take the before mentioned conversations and collectively turn them into multiple visual concepts. And not only that, we reinforce collaboration by empowering students to tell the professor what concepts work and which ones do not.All the prep work comes down to choosing a topic of investigation that is entertaining, thought provoking, and relevant all while being able to be quickly translated into 2 dimensional shoe based artwork. Get it right and we will successfully introduce the next generation of students to the design profession. Get it wrong and become another ineffective outreach program that tries too hard. Now in our fifth iteration of the workshop, we wish to share our methodology as how we engage high school students with modular content that empowers them to learn the design process through the intersection of shoe wear and celebrity.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes the geocultural potential of the city of Vereshchagino in the Perm region, which should be used for the implementation of promising creative scenarios for the development of the urban environment. In 2023, the city, which is called the "Western gate of the Urals" in popular science publications, will celebrate its 125th anniversary. Currently, Vereshchagino has accumulated typical problems for a provincial city (demographic, communal and sociocultural). The visual image of the urban environment is devoid of expressive color. The author believes that Vereshchagino has a unique chance to become a comfortable city for living, a place of attraction for people who through active ascetic practices support and reproduce the sociohistorical identity of the economic structure of the country. This initiative is based on the methodology of geocultural branding of cities and territories. The proposed brand image "Verkhokamskaya Usadba" contains visible and invisible meanings of creativity and asceticism, acting as mental foundations in the author's project of the model strategy of geocultural branding in Vereshchagino.

Jayathunga, T. W. M. P. S. "Colourism in advertising: how skin care product advertisements impact women in India." In Integrated Design Research Conference 2024, edited by S. Samarawickrama. Department of Integrated Design, Faculty of Architecture, University of Moratuwa., 2024. https://doi.org/10.31705/idr.2024.1.
Full textAbstract:
Skin-lightening products are arguably the best example of the powerful impact of advertising on people’s psycho-social behaviour. South Asians are notorious when it comes to their obsession with lighter skin tones. In India, the biggest market for skin-lightening skincare products, this phenomenon is fuelled by centuries of historical, political, social, religious, and geographical segregation as well as the influence of Western media (Mishra, 2015). By considering the negative impact of fairness cream use and the promotion of skin-lightening products, The Indian Ministry of Health and Welfare banned the negative portrayal of dark skin in advertising (Raj et al., 2022). However, these regulations apply only to the textual or verbal messaging in advertising. Overcoming those regulations is a simple matter of replacing ‘Fair’ or ‘Whitening’ with words like; ‘Glow’, ‘Brightening’, and ‘Lightening’. These regulations do not challenge the underlying discriminatory narrative of skin-lightening advertisements, due to a lack of in-depth understanding of how various aspects of advertising impact its viewers. This paper aims to bridge this knowledge gap by studying how different aspects of advertisements can impact psycho-social behaviour. The research design is a qualitative systematic literature review with a deductive approach that uses both empirical and theoretical data. Literature from credible databases such as; Google Scholar, Springer Link, ScienceDirect, and Wiley Online Library, published within the last 10 years, were considered for the systematic review to protect the findings' credibility and relevance. PRISMA model of inclusion and exclusion was used as a screening process to narrow down the final literature materials. Indian society views lighter skin as an indicator of success (Verma and Ray, 2023). This practice pre-dates India's history of colonisation when the arrival of Nomadic Aryans with lighter skin met their opponents - the darker-skinned Dravidans (Bajwa, von Maur, and Stephan, 2023). Skin tone would have been an easy indicator of tribe or caste and later social hierarchy. Centuries later and after several colonial invasions, Indian society associates lighter skin with wealth and privilege. Yet, according to Pathak and Nichter (2018), Indian women have little knowledge and experience with skincare products due to the negative social stigma surrounding self-adornment. Therefore aspirations for lighter skin stem from various social and personal measures (See Fig. 1) which are then used in creating compelling advertisements. Research shows that TV and digital advertisements are themain influencers for the use of skin-lightening products among Indian women (Mangal et al., 2021). For Indian women, fair skin means they get better opportunities in their careers and in marriage. Most of the early 2000s fairness advertisements from India narrated a similar story. A young girl failed to secure a dream job, only to pass the interview after using the advertised skin-lightening product. Another girl was rejected by her lover only to have him come running after she had used the skin-lightening product. More recent advertisements show lighter skin as a catalyst for female empowerment (Arumugam et al., 2022). See Fig. 2. However, most of these advertisements portray the product as a need by accepting, amplifying, and advocating society’s stigmas and prejudices surrounding skin tone. The degradation or the humiliation of the character with the darker skin in most of these advertisements is how the brand uses its power and strength to influence a new narrative in society, where the product becomes a need. In his 2014 study, S. Nadeem explains how advertisements have set a benchmark for beauty and assigned light-skin exclusionary powers which leads to ‘Social Mimicry’ a state of false consciousness and a desire based on power relationships. He also points out how all these advertisements hint at a lack of individual sovereignty. The skin-lightening product always has validation from friends or family (See Fig.3) . This is a driving state created by social measures. Meanwhile, Krishen, LaTour, and Alishah (2024) use the Consumer Motivational Model to elaborate on how advertisements create ‘skin-tone tension’ among Asian women by creating a need-oriented drive state to move from the actual self to the ideal self. ‘If the model in the advertisement enjoys freedom and joy, I can too. I just have to lighten my skin!’. However, while Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive theory suggests that the consumer is an active decision-maker in the buying process, a more advertising-centric model created by Justine Combs, called Social Framework for Advertising, believes that society and media are an active influence in the consumer’s passive decision-making (Combs, 2016). An advertisement’s effectiveness can be measured in two ways: financial and cognitive, where financial effectiveness is measured using the product’s elasticity of demand (Shapiro, Hitsch, and Tuchman, 2021). Cognitive effectiveness calls on measuring the change in brand perception and perceived value of the product within its target audience. Such a cognitive change is supported in an advertisement by three factors; advertising media, messaging, and time of schedule (De-Miguel-Guzmán et al., 2020). According to Zhao et al. (2022), an advertisement’s quality and frequency are the two main factors that manipulate consumers. While ad frequency helps build credibility, the definition of ad quality was found to be vague. This study defined the quality of an ad as the ability of its content to convince the viewer using personal and social measures. Ad content can also be analysed in two parts; verbal and visual. Verbal strategies like; the use of positive adjectives, and the use of possessive and plural pronouns (eg; ‘us’ and ‘you’) play a major role in advertisements in validating the viewer’s relationship with social forces. Advertising agencies also use various visual strategies such as; celebrity endorsements, depiction of scientific evidence as well and visualising the transition of the skin tones. Therefore, the research concludes that regulations on the textual content of an advertisement alone are not enough to counter the discriminatory impact of skin care advertisements. The findings of this research call for more holistic and adequate regulations for advertisements promoting skin-lightening products. This research further highlights the need for advertisers to be bold in using their creativity to challenge long-held prejudices of society, rather than re-iterating them. This can create more authentic consumer engagement with skincare brands, especially as the world embraces changing sentiments about our sense of self.

Full textAbstract:
Why family diversities? Many of our contemporary conversations about families in Canada are about how they have changed in ways that make them more diverse. There is much to celebrate in these diversities and in the family mosaic that they create. Yet we also see that while some families are thriving, others are marginalized. To date, we have not had a way of systematically thinking about family diversities or about the inequalities that may be inherent in them. Across the variety of families in Canada, it is important to map what is known, where knowledge gaps exist and where we need to create evidence that can inform policies, programs and services to better support family wellbeing. A roadmap for understanding family diversity Developed by the Vanier Institute of the Family1 through consultation with academic and government partners and grounded in family research, the Family Diversities and Wellbeing Framework views family diversity through three intersecting lenses: Family Structure, Family Work, and Family Identity. Each lens focuses on a different way of seeing families. Each illuminates factors that can either enhance or detract from family wellbeing. Each provides a way of highlighting where our understanding is currently limited. Below, we outline what each lens means, why it matters, and priority areas for consideration based on current issues in Canadian society.

Full textAbstract:
We are proud to be working in partnership with the National CNO Policy and Strategy Unit at NHS England to support national Excellence ambitions, establishing a collective leadership model and ensuring evidence-based approaches in the development of positive practice environments. Essentially, this work builds on the learning from the CNO Shared Governance: Collective Leadership programme and underpins the delivery of the CNO for England’s Excellence programme. In 2023 we formed the Midlands Nursing and Midwifery Excellence Network to establish a Midlands-wide collective leadership model with a focus on transformational leadership, research, and innovation. We are committed to creating a culture of Excellence, fostering positive work environments for our nurses and midwives to flourish, and ensuring delivery of the highest quality of care. Through consultation and co-design with the regional network, we developed six pillars fundamental to embedding a culture of Excellence, namely: Local Accreditation, Shared Professional Decision-Making, Meaningful Recognition, Distributed Leadership, Continuous Quality Improvement, and Research and Innovation. As part of this, the DEFiNe (Determining Excellence Factors in Nursing and Midwifery) study was commissioned to build on the national evidence base and ensure Excellence work is underpinned by robust evidence. Researchers conducted case study interviews with Excellence leads from thirteen organisations across the Midlands; it is the first time a comprehensive picture of Nursing and Midwifery Excellence has been portrayed across the region, which demonstrates our commitment to improvement work leading to healthy work environments. This collection of 39 case studies showcases the inspirational work taking place across the region. Cases are organised and aligned with each pillar of the framework. Our aim is to share learning regarding what has been achieved, how this was made possible, and the benefits to our staff, our patients, and our communities. We want to share the principles of Excellence with all organisations, so we can learn from, recognise, celebrate, and inspire each other. We are excited to continue to drive this agenda forwards and grow a collective culture of Excellence through shared learning. Thank you to the members of the Midlands Excellence Network and our case study participants for all of your fantastic contributions.

Cameroon: Peer education and youth-friendly media reduce risky sexual behavior. Population Council, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2003.1009.
Full textAbstract:
Cameroonian researchers at the Institute of Behavioral Studies and Research (IRESCO), with support from FRONTIERS, conducted an operations research project between 2000 and 2002 to assess strategies to encourage abstinence, increase contraceptive use, and reduce sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates among sexually active youth. The intervention combined peer-education strategies with media campaigns to promote healthy behavior among youth in the Mokolo neighborhood of Yaoundé. IRESCO trained 49 peer educators aged 19–25 in reproductive health (RH) communication strategies. The team coordinated educational talks, counseling sessions, conferences, and cultural and athletic events; produced comic books and brochures; and sold French and English editions of Among Youth magazine, featuring celebrity interviews and information on RH, unwanted pregnancy, and STI transmission. IRESCO evaluated the intervention’s impact through baseline and endline surveys of 2,500 youth in Mokolo and the control site, New Bell, in Douala. This brief concludes that urban youth in Cameroon are knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS and the risks of early pregnancy, but their behavior often fails to reflect their knowledge. Peer-education programs targeting youth through one-on-one counseling, theatrical performances, youth magazines, and sporting events increases abstinence and fidelity and improves consistent and correct condom use.
