Abstract:

In the context of smart electricity consumption, demand response is an important way to solve the problem of power supply and demand balance. Users participate in grid dispatching to obtain additional benefits, which realises a win-win situation between the grid and users. However, in actual dispatching, community users’ strong willingness to use energy leads to low enthusiasm of users to participate in demand response. Psychological research shows a direct connection between users’ herd mentality (HM) and their decision-making behavior. An optimal dispatching strategy based on user herd mentality is proposed to give full play to the active response-ability of community flexible load to participate in power grid dispatching. Considering that herd mentality is generated by the information interaction between users, by calling on some users to share the experience of successfully participating in demand response in the community information center and using the Nash social welfare function to model herd mentality to explore the impact of the user. The analysis of an example shows that the proposed strategy gives full play to the potential of community flexible loads to participate in demand response. When users have similar electricity consumption behavior, the herd mentality can effectively improve users’ enthusiasm to participate in demand response, and the user response effect meets managers’ expectations.

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the presence and impact of the herd effect in the Palestine Exchange (PEX). By utilizing the cross-sectional standard deviation (CSSD) methodology on pooled cross-sectional data, the research investigates whether investor behavior exhibits characteristics of a herd mentality and how this affects market efficiency. The findings reveal that herd mentality alone is insufficient to produce a significant herd effect in PEX. Furthermore, record market return fluctuations do not result in significant market anomalies within this context. The results suggest that the presence of herd behavior does not translate into impactful market outcomes in PEX. The market structure and investor dynamics may limit the manifestation of strong herding patterns, despite observable behavioral tendencies. These findings have important policy implications, offering policymakers a more skeptical notion of the PEX as an inefficient market. Additionally, the study contributes to the literature by producing empirical outcomes that are committed to the specific context of PEX.

Abstract:

This research examines the connections between herd mentality, price fluctuations, and company size in relation to stock performance for firms listed on the IDX from January 2019 through December 2023. The LSV approach is employed to quantify herding behavior, while historical data is used to calculate volatility. The study investigates how market capitalization and volatility influence the link between herd mentality and stock returns. Weekly stock prices, company valuations, trading volumes, and sales proportions from TradingView comprise the dataset. Findings indicate that market capitalization significantly enhances the relationship between herd behavior and stock returns, particularly for large-cap enterprises. Conversely, volatility weakens this relationship, with herd behavior's impact on stock returns diminishing in turbulent market conditions. These results highlight the significance of company size and market volatility in comprehending group investor conduct and its effects on stock market outcomes. The study's implications include the creation of more flexible investment tactics and market regulations that promote stability across various market scenarios.

Abstract:

n this study, we look at how herd mentality affects the efficiency of mutual funds. It is well-documented that investors often engage in herding behaviour in the financial markets, when they blindly follow the actions of others rather than evaluating information independently. Yet, there has been a dearth of empirical research into its particular consequences for mutual funds. To analyse the impact of herding behaviour on fund performance, this research uses a thorough dataset of mutual fund returns and investor flows. The first step of the research is to use literature-established metrics to determine whether mutual fund investors herd. After that, we use risk-adjusted returns, volatility, and alpha to evaluate the herding behaviour vs. fund performance connection. The research further delves into the ways in which herding affects the performance of funds by looking at things like trading fees, liquidity restrictions, and market circumstances. Herding behaviour has a substantial impact on mutual fund performance, according to preliminary data. However, the exact nature of this impact varies across fund kinds and market conditions. Although herding may provide short-term gains in price momentum and liquidity-driven returns, it eventually causes mispricing and reversals if it continues. In addition, less liquid asset classes may have their long-term performance eroded by herding-induced trading costs and portfolio churn. These results have consequences for fund managers and investors alike. By learning the ins and outs of herd mentality, investors may make better investing choices that stay true to their long-term value drivers and avoid the traps of herd mentality. To lessen the impact of market emotion on fund performance, fund managers should be aware of investors' herding tendencies so they can create portfolios and use risk management methods.

Abstract:

Considering the problem of risk diffusion in increasingly complex supply chain networks, we propose using the supply chain risk diffusion model, under the hypernetwork vision, to study the influence of certain factors on risk diffusion, including the herd mentality, self-vigilance, talent recruitment, and enterprise management. First of all, the state transition probability tree is constructed to represent the state transition of each enterprise, then the Microscopic Markov Chain Approach (MMCA) is used to analyze the scale of risk spread, and the diffusion threshold of risk is discussed. We find that the herd mentality, self-vigilance, talent recruitment, and enterprise management will effectively curb the spread of risks. Directly recruiting talents and strengthening enterprise management is more effective than increasing vigilance. This study helps professionals to understand the mechanism of risk diffusion, and it provides effective suggestions on how to suppress risk diffusion in the real world.

Abstract:

Competition and diffusion of products are of great significance to companies. In this study, various true decoy strategies are constructed using different combinations of price and quality. This paper then analyzes the performance of strategies using different product competition and diffusion scenarios. The influences of neighbor nodes, reconnection probability, and herd mentality on decoy effects are explored. The results show that setting an appropriate true decoy can enhance the competitiveness of a target product to some extent. Conversely, an inappropriate decoy strategy will play a negative role, encroaching on market share. In terms of effects, changes in neighbor nodes, reconnection probability, and herd mentality will not influence the direction of the evolution of a product for the same true decoy strategies. However, the speed of evolution will be affected. These findings provide a theoretical basis for enterprises taking action to enhance product competitiveness in the market.

Abstract:

When addressing an externality such as air pollution, regulators can control policy inputs (e.g., pollution taxes and technology standards) or outputs (e.g., emission caps). Economists are familiar with this debate, known broadly as “prices vs. quantities,” but analysts of international environmental agreements have rarely focused sustained attention to such questions. Using an inventory of all international air pollution agreements, we document the historical patterns in instrument choice. Those agreements that require little effort beyond the status quo are usually codified in terms of effort, but agreements that require substantial actions by the parties nearly always deploy a cap on emission quantities as the central regulatory instrument. We suggest that this concentration of experience with emission caps and paucity of serious efforts to coordinate policy inputs may explain why the architects of international environmental agreements appear to believe that emission caps work best. We illustrate what's at stake with the example of international efforts to control the emissions that cause global climate change. We also show that the conventional history of the agreement that is most symbolic of the superiority of emission caps—the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer—has wrongly overlooked a little-known provision that operates akin to a “price” instrument.

Abstract:

Supermarkets’ cross-border integration, as an innovative format for the transformation and upgrading of traditional supermarkets, has been increasingly favored by enterprises recently. However, whether the cross-border integration of supermarkets encourages consumers to cross-buy is still a largely unexplored field. This study introduces the central and peripheral paths of the elaboration likelihood model and two mediating variables of consumers’ attitudes and herd mentality to explore the potential mechanism of consumers’ instant cross-buying intentions against the background of supermarkets’ cross-border integration. It takes consumers who purchase in cross-border integrated supermarkets as the research object. The empirical findings show that on the central path, perceived product quality and perceived fit have positive impacts on consumers’ attitudes, which then enhances their instant cross-buying intentions. Further, on the peripheral path, store image, and social interaction have positive impacts on consumers’ herd mentality, which then raises their instant cross-buying intentions.

Full text

Abstract:

In Mark Twain's 1884 chef-d‘œuvre, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (HF), the voice of innocence—personified by Huck Finn—evolves as a graphic reflection of his unique social and ethical standing, portraying him as a nonconforming, Adam-like wanderer seeking refuge in nature and searching for a distinct identity. Employing literary theory, this article goes beyond exposing the moral bankruptcy and hypocrisy in an allegedly ‘civilized’ white society that purports to uphold high moral standards. Drawing on Nietzsche's doctrine of good vs. bad and good vs. evil, along with the psychological phenomenon of herd mentality, the article demonstrates how Huck's voice challenges and destabilizes orthodox linguistic conventions, societal norms, ethical constructs, and long-standing beliefs in the antebellum American South during the nineteenth century. Key findings reveal that such a unique voice can be seen as a profound critique of the antebellum South’s values, introducing a newfangled perspective on America's development of a distinctive identity and its quest to establish its own voice and literature after severing ties with Britain.

Abstract:

This study takes Pinduoduo as an example to explore the influence of herd psychology on consumer decision-making in fission marketing. Fission marketing uses consumer social networks to realize the rapid dissemination of information, in which the herd psychology plays an important role. Through the questionnaire survey, this study analyzes the motivation and effect of Pinduoduo users participating in the fission marketing activities such as "Kanyidao". In that context, "Kanyidao" means helping others bargain. The results show that the majority of respondents participated in activities motivated to save money or make money, and tend to learn about activity information through friends or software channels. User-sharing activity links promote social fission and achieve a rapid growth in the number of users. The research conclusion points out that the herd psychology plays a significant role in the fission marketing, and the fission marketing can effectively expand the market share by stimulating the consumers' enthusiasm for participation.

Abstract:

This empirical research investigates whether investors in Pakistan Stock Exchange are influenced by a set of behavioural biases while making stock buying decisions. Subsequently, this study evaluates as to what extent active stock investors are financially literate at basic and advanced level and test whether basic and advanced financial literacy moderate the effects of behavioural biases on stock buying decisions. Five-point Likert scale has been used to measure the reflective constructs of behavioural biases and stock buying decisions. Sample size of 326 respondents from Karachi and Hyderabad cities in Pakistan has been used, employing convenience sampling, to analyze the data using descriptive statistics and Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling. Out of seven biases tested, Anchoring and Adjustment bias is found to have negative significant effect on stock buying decisions while Herd Mentality bias and Availability bias are found to have significant positive effect on stock buying decisions. Active stock investors were found to have high level of basic financial literacy whereas advanced financial literacy was present at a moderate level. Basic financial literacy moderates the association between herd mentality bias and stock buying decisions while advanced financial literacy moderates the relationship between mental accounting bias and stock buying decisions.

Full text

Abstract:

Promoting the use of recycled water is essential for environmental sustainability. A key part of promoting the use of recycled water is effectively increasing the public’s intention to adopt it. This research attempts to explore the factors that influence the public’s intention to adopt recycled water. It therefore introduces the baseline water stress indicator and extends the survey area to areas of high water stress. Based on the Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI), a new research model is developed from the perspective of “information disclosure (knowledge)–psychological factors (persuasion)–adoption intention (decision)”, and the moderating role of policy instruments is considered. Structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression analysis are used to empirically analyze 724 valid questionnaires. The results indicate that psychological factors (trust, awareness of water environment protection, herd mentality) have multiple parallel mediating effects between recycled water information disclosure and adoption intention, and herd mentality is the key factor influencing the public’s intention to adopt recycled water. Command-and-control policy instruments inhibit adoption intention, while economic incentives and publicity-and-guidance policy instruments promote adoption intention. These findings can help policymakers seek and adopt effective policy measures and provide a reference for popularizing and promoting recycled water in areas with high water stress.

Abstract:

The COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020 not only had a significant impact on China at the macro level, but also triggered changes in public psychology and irrational behavior at the individual level, one of the typical features of which was the panic buying behavior exhibited by residents during the outbreak. Based on Perceived Risk theory, emotion infection theory and information processing theory, this paper investigates the influence of herd mentality on panic buying behavior and the mediating role of Perceived Risk and information overload, and validates the model by collecting data from 326 residents through a questionnaire. The results show that herding mentality, Perceived Risk, and information overload all have positive effects on panic buying; Perceived Risk and information overload partially mediate the effect between herding mentality and panic buying, and information overload carries more mediating effects. These results suggest that higher levels of herding, Perceived Risk, and information overload can intensify individuals’ panic buying and cause further irrational buying behavior. In response to the findings, this paper also proposes countermeasures to deal with panic buying from three aspects: individuals, media, and government.

Abstract:

At an alarming pace, internet gaming has become more popular among teens worldwide. This has been spurred by technical improvements that have resulted in the production of high-graphic films and characters in gaming that are very appealing due to their lifelike characteristics and realistic, complex game systems. These characteristics attract a large number of teenagers, the majority of whom experience no negative consequences. Nevertheless, some of the most avid adolescent gamers are unable to maintain a healthy balance between gaming, schoolwork, social obligations, and other obligations. Consequently, the majority of teenagers have almost the same mindset as described in this research. The evidence for the claim is shown by analysis of teenage behaviors involved in gaming through the use of literature reviews and available data from relevant databases in order to demonstrate how they perceive the concept of participation in online gaming and connect them with real-life experiences. This paper will show how gaming has impacted on personal and social lives of most adolescents by addressing the psychological and mental issues that they have to encounter during this period of development and growth to become decent adults.

Abstract:

The article examines the problem of alienation as a result of the conflict between consciousness and instincts, which includes aspects of 1) temporal conflict and 2) attempts to self-destruct the individual. Through this conflict, the imperfection of the individual makes it possible for him to develop. The authors also correlate the concepts of alienation and consciousness, which opens up space for criticism of Nietzsche's concepts of herd mentality and the possibility of human cognition of the external world.

Abstract:

Unsafe behaviors among construction workers are a leading cause of safety accidents in the construction industry, and studying the mechanism of unsafe behavior propagation among construction workers is essential for reducing the occurrence of safety accidents. Safety attitude plays a pivotal role in predicting workers’ behavioral intentions. We propose a propagation model of unsafe behaviors based on a two-layer complex network, in which the upper layer depicts the change in construction workers’ safety attitudes, and the lower layer represents the propagation of unsafe behaviors. In this model, we consider the impact of individual heterogeneity and herd mentality on the transmission rate, establishing a partial mapping relationship based on behavioral feedback. After that, by building a probability transition tree, we establish the risk state transition equation in detail using the microscopic Markov chain approach (MMCA) and analyze the established equations to deduce the propagation threshold of unsafe behaviors analytically. The results show that enhancing the influence of individual heterogeneity and behavioral feedback increases the threshold for the spread of unsafe behaviors, thereby reducing its scale, while herd mentality amplifies the spread. Furthermore, the coexistence of safety education and behavioral feedback may lead to one of the mechanisms fails. This research enhances understanding of the propagation mechanism of unsafe behaviors and provides a foundation for managers to implement effective measures to suppress the propagation of unsafe behaviors among construction workers.

Abstract:

Purpose – In recent years, with the development of 5G technology and the rise of webcasting, livestream e-commerce has become a main shopping channel for consumers. Capturing the user behavior mechanism and understanding its influencing factors are of great importance for livestream e-commerce. Based on previous studies, this study proposes a research model mediated by herd behavior, attempting to illustrate how the three types of trust in livestream e-commerce affect final purchase intention through herd behavior. Design/Methodology/Approach – To achieve the research purpose, independent variables were selected by searching previous literature on livestream e-commerce, and a questionnaire was designed according to the situation in China. The survey was conducted online, and 312 users were surveyed via questionnaire. SmartPLS3.0 was used to conduct confirmatory factor analysis on variables and test hypotheses through regression analysis. Findings – According to the results of the study, herd behavior has a positive impact on livestream e-commerce consumer purchase intention, and consumer trust in livestream platforms and streamers has a statistically significant impact on herd behavior. Herd mentality plays a mediating role between trust and purchase intention. Research Implications – This study uses the psychological factor of herd behavior to establish an impact mechanism between trust and purchase intention in livestream e-commerce. For livestream platforms and streamers, long-term trust investment in consumers is required to influence consumers in livestream and increase sales opportunities.

Abstract:

The objective for the present trial was to understand whether dairy heifers could be trained to respond to an audio cue paired with a feed reward. The use of acoustic conditioning to induce cattle movement has not previously been tested with animal-mounted devices to call cattle both individually and as a group. Five heifers underwent testing for 6 days as part of an 18-day field trial (12 days of conditioning). The 6-day testing and data-collection period involved the heifers being called via a smartphone device mounted on the cheek strap of a halter. Heifers were called either as individuals or as a group. When the audio cue was sent, heifers were expected to traffic from a group-holding area to a feeding area (~80-m distance) to receive an allocation of a grain-based concentrate. Heifers were significantly (P = 0.001) more likely to approach the feeding area when called as a group (91% response rate) than when they were called as individuals (67% response rate). When heifers did respond to being called, their time to traffic to the feed area was quicker (P < 0.001) when they were called as a group (77.9 ± 55.4 s) than when they were called as individuals (139.3 ± 89.2 s). The present trial has shown that animals can be trained to respond to an audio cue paired to a feed reward, highlighting the potential for acoustic conditioning to improve voluntary cow movement with an animal-mounted device. It also highlights the limitations of cattle responding to being called individually compared with being called as a group.

Abstract:

This paper examines the herding phenomenon in the context of a frontier stock market, the Colombo Stock Exchange of Sri Lanka, employing the cross - sectional absolute deviation methodology to daily frequencies of data for the period from April, 2000 to September, 2016. The results show significant changes in magnitude and pattern of herding over different episodes of the market. The herd behavior is strongly presence irrespective of the direction of the market movement in the 2000 - 2008 period, during which investments in the stock market is affected by the countryâ€™s political instability resulting from the civil war. The evidence also shows herd behavior during the period of market bubble whereas negative herding in the market crash period. However, it becomes less likely to occur during the period after the market crash. The lower tendency to herd during the post- market crash period supports the Adaptive Market Hypothesis, implying that investors are likely to realize the irrationality of herding and learn to be more rational as a consequence of significant losses experienced during the period of the market crash. Accordingly, these findings suggest that period- specific characteristics of the market and the associated psychological effects to investors such as overconfidence and panics would cause changes to their beliefs and behavior, the experiences of which would subsequently produce learning effect to minimize their irrationality in decision making.

Abstract:

This study aims to identify themes, trends, and networks in the mechanisms that shape the quality of investment decisions in the context of behavioural finance using bibliometric. The results show that good financial literacy can reduce the negative influence of cognitive biases such as heuristics, framing effects, and herd mentality in investment decision-making. In addition, improved financial literacy also plays a role in moderating the effects of behavioural biases on investment decisions, resulting in more rational and profitable decisions. Therefore, financial literacy is an effective strategy to improve the quality of investment decisions by reducing the impact of cognitive biases.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Through the lens of behavioural finance, this study explores the significant impact of investor psychology on irrational decision-making and the formation of market bubbles. Real-world market behaviour frequently reveals a different picture, one that includes emotions, cognitive shortcuts, and psychological biases, in contrast to traditional financial theories that assume investors behave rationally and always aim to maximise returns. Through the use of a mixed-method research design that combines secondary sources like academic literature and real-world case studies with primary data from investor surveys, this paper aims to reveal how emotions like overconfidence, greed, and fear significantly influence financial decisions. The study validates important theories like Prospect Theory and Herd Behaviour by highlighting behavioural patterns like emotional contagion, herd mentality, and loss aversion. The insights gained are valuable not only for investors, but also for financial advisors, educators, and policy-makers who aim to foster more rational and informed investing behavior.

Abstract:

The catalytic reduction of CO2 to methanol is an appealing option to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations as well as to promote renewable energy production. In addition, the exhaustion of fossil fuels, the increase in Earth’s temperature, and sharp increases in fuel prices are the main driving factors for exploring the synthesis of methanol by hydrogenating CO2. Many studies on the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol have been published in the literature over the last few decades. Many of these studies have presented different catalysts that exhibit high stability, higher performance, low cost, and are immediately required to promote conversion. Understanding the mechanisms involved in the conversion of CO2 is essential as the first step towards creating these catalysts. This review briefly summarizes recent theoretical developments in mechanistic studies focused on using density functional theory, kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, and microkinetics modeling. Based on these simulation techniques on different transition metals, metal/metal oxides, and other heterogeneous catalyst surfaces, three important mechanisms that have been recommended are the formate (HCOO), reverse water–gas shift (RWGS), and trans-COOH mechanisms. Recent experimental and theoretical efforts appear to demonstrate that the formate route, in which the main intermediate species is H2CO* in the reaction route, is more favorable in the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to chemical fuels under various temperature and pressure conditions.

Abstract:

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic spread globally from its outbreak in China in early 2020, negatively affecting economies and industries on a global scale. In line with historic crises and shock events including the 2002-04 SARS outbreak, the 2011 Christchurch earthquake and 2017 Hurricane Irma, COVID-19 has significantly impacted global economic conditions, causing significant economic downturns, company and industry failures, and increased unemployment. To understand how conditions created by the pandemic to date compare to the aforementioned shock events, we conducted a thorough literature review focusing on the presentation of panic buying and herd mentality behaviours, changes to discretionary consumer spending as defined by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and the impact of global media on these behaviours. The methodology utilised to analyse panic buying, herd mentality and altered patterns of consumer discretionary spending (according to Maslow’s theory) involved an analysis of consumer spending data, largely focused on Australian and American markets. Here, we analysed the volume and timing of consumer spending patterns; the volumes of spending on specific, highly-demanded consumer goods during the investigative period; and the distribution of spending on luxury and non-durable goods to identify the occurrence of these consumer behaviours. Moreover, to identify the presence of the media in influencing consumer behaviour we focused on web traffic to media sites, alongside keyword and phrase data mining. We conclude that, to date, consumer behaviour during the COVID-19 crisis appears to align with behaviours exhibited during historic shock events. We hope to contribute to the body of research on the early months of this pandemic before longer-term studies are available.

Abstract:

Reducing consumer food waste plays an important role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Considering the large number of colleges in China, with the largest enrollment in the world, it is especially important to address the issue of food waste among college students. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects that the college canteen catering modes have on the food-saving behavior of college students remain unclear. To fill this gap, an integrated theoretical framework model was constructed from the perspective of “psychological factors–behavioral intention–external environment–actual behavior” based on the theory of planned behavior, the norm activation model, and the attitude–context–behavior theory. Then, 422 valid questionnaires were empirically analyzed by structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression. The main conclusions of this study are as follows: (1) Food-saving intention and herd mentality are the major drivers of college students’ food-saving behavior. Personal norms, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavior control, and health risk perception are influencing factors on food-saving intention, among which personal norms have the greatest effect. (2) The standard-quantity catering mode has an inhibitory moderating effect, while the large-/small-portion-size and buffet catering modes have promoting moderating effects in the transformation of food-saving intention into actual behavior. Notably, the moderating effects of the buffet catering mode are more pronounced than those of the large-/small-portion-size catering mode. (3) The standard-quantity catering mode has a promoting moderating effect, while the large-/small-portion-size and buffet catering modes have inhibitory moderating effects in the path of the negative impact of herd mentality on food-saving behavior. These conclusions can help colleges recommend strategies to avoid food waste on their campuses from the perspectives of both the individual student and the food provider.
