“…Further evidence for discriminating validity was provided by examining the cross-loading of items measured. Table 8 shows that each measurement item had the highest loading in its corresponding structure and there was no cross-loading problem, indicating that there was no multicollinearity problem between items loaded by different components in the outer measurement model [83]. Therefore, the measurement model established in this study was reliable and effective.…”

With the rapid development of the economy, people are paying more and more attention to the environmental problems. In this circumstance, the concept of a circular economy is proposed for making efficient use of resources and minimizing the production of waste and other emissions. Each year, the construction sector consumes a vast volume of resources and makes impacts on the environment. To align with the development of the circular economy, the concept of green building is proposed. In China, though the concept of green building has been promoted for decades, the development status is far from optimistic. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the barriers that hinder green building development (GBD) in China. Through a systematic review and semi-structured interviews with experienced industrial practitioners, 24 potential barriers of GBD in China were identified. A questionnaire survey was then conducted for data collection. After descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, a partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was established to investigate the impacts of different barriers on GBD. Results showed that the lack of policy and industry guidance, the immature market environment, and the lack of environmental awareness are the most important GBD barriers in China. This research can assist stakeholders in better understanding the status of GBD in China and enable decision-makers to formulate appropriate strategies to promote green building.

“…The product has symbolic value to the owner, because there is a physical connection between the product and a specific past. Previous studies have found a strong relationship between product-related memories and product attachment (Ting, Thaichon, Chuah, & Tan, 2019;Lang et al, 2013). However, product attachment often occurs for a specific product instead of general products.…”

Consumers' product-disposal behaviors impact the environment, businesses, society, and consumer well-being. This research explores if and how consumers' disposal behaviors are influenced by sentiments of nostalgia. Four experimental studies are conducted, two on student samples and two on general population, to test our hypotheses. Study 1 shows that compared with collective nostalgia, personal nostalgia elicits higher intention to keep and reuse products. In contrast, collective nostalgia elicits higher intention to donate and recycle products. Both personal nostalgia and collective nostalgia reduce intention to throw away. Study 2 further corroborates the negative impact of personal nostalgia and collective nostalgia on throw away intention. Study 3 finds that the positive effect of personal nostalgia on keep and reuse intention is mediated by self-continuity. Finally, study 4 demonstrates that collective efficacy mediates the positive effect of collective nostalgia on donate and recycle intention. This study has theoretical contributions and practical implications for scholars and policy makers. 1 | INTRODUCTION Nostalgia, longing for the past (Routledge, Wildschut, Sedikides, & Juhl, 2013), is a frequently experienced sentiment. Although the concept of nostalgia originated from research in psychology, it has recently been introduced into research domains of political science, sociology, and marketing where it was recognized as a basic theme for many promotion and advertising programs (Muehling & Pascal, 2012). In the field of consumer behavior, nostalgia has been studied in various contexts, including brand loyalty, brand meaning, consumption preference, selective memory, and emotion (Muehling, Sprott, & Sprott, 2004). While the relation between consumers' purchase of new products and nostalgia has been explored, research is lacking on consumers' disposal of products at the end-of-use and nostalgia. The current research addresses this void. Consumers' product-disposal behaviors have important impacts on the environment, society, enterprises, and consumers themselves (Sandes, Leandro, Boaventura, & da Silva Junior, 2019). Proper disposal of products is vitally important for reducing resource waste, improving resource utilization, prolonging product life cycle, and product replacement decisions. Consumers may dispose of products by keeping, reusing, throwing away, donating, or recycling (Cruz-Cárdenas & Arévalo-Chávez, 2018). These disposal options are not equally sustainable. Throwing away or keeping (hoarding) are generally considered not environmentally friendly (Bye &

“…Perceived usefulness is defined as "the degree to which a person lies that using a particular system would enhance his performance." Perceived usefulness is an important antecedent of behavior, such as consumer behavior [26], sharing behavior [27], adopting behavior [28], and using behavior [29]. In the commercial field, providing consumers with useful information can increase trust in products.…”

Background: In recent years, China has witnessed a surge in medical disputes, including many widely reported violent riots, attacks, and protests in hospitals. Asymmetric information between patient and physicians is one of the most critical enablers in this phenomenon, but the Web has become the primary resource for Chinese Internet applications to learn about health information and could potentially play a role in this pathway to patient-physician interaction and patient-physician trust. While considerable attention has been paid in some countries, there are few researches about China's situation for this issue. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the influence of online health information and the online guidance of doctors in patient health information literacy on patient-physician interaction and patient-physician trust in China. Methods: A web-based survey was conducted to collect data from online applications with health problems. A structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data to test the hypotheses. A total of 446 participants from the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and Huazhong University of Science and Technology hospital participated in the study. Results: Our analysis shows that the usefulness of online health information and the online guidance of doctors both significantly influence the trust of the patient toward physicians and interaction with physicians. Furthermore, the patient-physician interaction also has a significant impact on the patient-physician trust. Conclusions: There are many studies on the influence of online health information on the doctor-patient relationship, whereas a little research has examined this relationship between health information online support from doctors and patient-physician interaction by quantitative empirical analysis. This study also explores the online guidance role of doctors and whether doctor-patient communication will affect the trust of doctors and patients. The practical implications of this study include an improved understanding of the function of online health information and potential impacts regarding the interaction with physicians and trust toward physicians that can be used to resolve conflicts between doctors and patients.with the traditional way of consulting with doctors or relatives or friends, Chinese Internet users are more inclined to use Internet applications to obtain health information. Studies have shown that patients' access to health information through the Internet has a positive impact on the improvement of patient-physician relationship [3][4][5][6]. The Internet has become the central resource for the public to obtain health information in China.Some studies found that 74.9% of medical staff viewed the current patient-physician relationship with a negative attitude, and medical disputes have frequently been reported such as violent riots, attacks, and protests in hospitals in China [7]. The tense patient-physician relationship mainly results from the lack of trust between doctors and patients, communicat...
