Decoding Demographics on Generation Z's Post-Pandemic Shopping Trends: E-Commerce Evolution 4.0, the Digital Shopper's Dilemma, and Tailoring Strategies

“…Social identity theory suggests that individuals derive a sense of self and belonging from their gender identity, influencing their preferences and satisfaction criteria in online shopping contexts (Marín-García et al, 2022).
