“…The study selected Facebook as the research context because Facebook is a social network platform that has overwhelming popularity and offers abundant and diverse examples of SMBCs [47,48]. In line with other literature [49,50], the target was not only a single SMBC, but rather a more general approach of members of brand-initiated SMBCs (i.e., not consumer-initiated) in which the participants were instructed to refer to the SMBC to which they belonged.…”

Social media brand communities provide firms with the necessary apparatus to develop and maintain relationships. This study explores the effect of fear of missing out (FOMO) and smartphone use on consumer engagement in social media brand communities, which the study hypothesizes to affect consumer loyalty. Data from 279 social media brand community (SMBC) participants were analyzed. Findings reveal that both fear of missing out and smartphone use influence consumer engagement, which in turn influences consumer loyalty in social media brand communities. Furthermore, smartphone use was found to mediate the impact of fear of missing out on consumer engagement.

“…We assumed that the older the children were when they browsed accessible information, the better their counterfactual thinking skills and the number of round-trip choices therefore increased as they sought to minimize future regrets. Ortiz et al (2017) found that a sense of belonging has the greatest influence on an individual's participation in the provision of information, and three factors influence this sense of belonging: hedonism, dependence and trustworthiness of information (Wiese and Akareem, 2019). Younger children who develop counterfactual thinking skills more slowly tend to follow personalized recommendations and become dependent on accessible information, as they believe that personalized recommendations have the potential to reduce search costs and avoid cognitive overload.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the eye movement behavior of preadolescent children accessing and diagnosing information. Design/methodology/approach The researchers tracked the eye movements of 30 children with an eye-tracking apparatus. Using the kit of factor-referenced cognitive tests to measure perceptual speed and associative memory, they measured information-searching behavior with screen recordings, the data of which were analyzed by IBM SPSS Statistics 26. Findings Regarding information accessibility, there was a correlation between the child’s age, associative memory and the number of round-trip choices, and there were differences in the total fixation area among children of different age groups. Regarding diagnosticity, perceptual speed was positively correlated with the total fixation area, and the number of round-trip choices was negatively correlated with fixation duration. Originality/value Empirical evidence suggests that during information encoding, perceptual speed is the most important influencing factor. Extensive research indicates that children predominantly rely on recall and familiarity when searching for new information, both of which play roles in associative memory. Through an examination of the psychological and behavioral indicators of children, the study elucidated the cognitive processes involved in information processing and how children engage with information at both visual and cognitive levels.

“…, 2019), it is surprising how the majority of studies have examined the SOB antecedents in the online consumer behavior context (e.g. Peng and Chen, 2020; Wiese and Akareem, 2019; Yang, 2019), especially by exploring its relationship with satisfaction (Chen et al. , 2020; Zhou et al.…”

“…Despite the relevance of this construct in the tourist field (Hung et al, 2019), it is surprising how the majority of studies have examined the SOB antecedents in the online consumer behavior context (e.g. Peng and Chen, 2020;Wiese and Akareem, 2019;Yang, 2019), especially by exploring its relationship with satisfaction (Chen et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2019;Lin et al, 2014). Indeed, even if both SOB and satisfaction have been conceptualized as two emotional constructs, SOB can be considered as an outcome since it leads to stronger individuals' reactions with respect to satisfaction (Zhou et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThe study aims to analyze the relationship between tourists' satisfaction and their sense of belonging in a specific cultural destination by also investigating the moderating role of their on-site involvement, both offline (on-site activities at the destination) and online (social media activities). A further objective lies in exploring the relationship between tourists' sense of belonging and their adoption of environmentally responsible behavior while at the destination. Finally, the paper attempts to determine whether said behavior can predict tourists' pro-environmental behavior and recommendation intention.Design/methodology/approachTo reach these objectives, a survey and a structural equation model, based on a sample of 647 visitors of an important world Heritage site UNESCO (i.e. Urbino), have been adopted.FindingsFindings reveal a positive influence of sense of belonging on satisfaction and environmentally responsible behavior, which, in turn, influences pro-environmental behavior and Recommendation intention, thus triggering a virtuous process in the tourists' formation as responsible and loyal travelers. Moreover, results underline how the relationship between satisfaction and sense of belonging is significantly strengthened when tourists' on-site activity involvement increases. Conversely, the moderating role of social media involvement is not supported.Practical implicationsThe present study offers important implications for different actors in the tourism sector, such as policy makers, destination marketing organizations (DMOs) and tourism operators.Social implicationsThe present study explores the role of social media involvement, specifically during the tourist's holiday.Originality/valueThis study enriches the empirical evidence in the cultural tourism through an analysis focused on the tourists' perspective, especially by investigating the relationship between satisfaction and emotional constructs (i.e. sense of belonging) that are able to bring environmental and loyalty benefits to the destination. Moreover, although existing research has highlighted the positive influence of the tourists' involvement on their experience, there is a paucity of studies jointly analyzing the on-site and online activities in the sustainability field.
