“…As expected, Neuroticism was associated with the perception of personal and social risk, i.e., the Violence and Politics and Economy dimensions (Leary & Hoyle, 2009;Minnebo et al, 2014). This variable did not relate to the environmental dimension of risk perception.…”

“…The psychological literature has observed consistent results regarding the link between individual differences variables and risk perception (Bouyer, Bagdassarian, Chaabane, & Mullet, 2001;Chauvin et al, 2007;Sjöberg, 2003). In particular, many studies have highlighted a consistent association between high levels of neuroticism (one dimension of the five-factor model of personality) and an increase in such feelings as fear, concern, anxiety, and poor impulse control (Lauterbach & Vrana, 2001;Leary & Hoyle, 2009;Minnebo, Eggermont, & Vandenbosch, 2014). People who score high on neuroticism are more likely to react inadequately to environmental stress, to interpret normal situations as threatening and can experience minor frustrations as completely devastating.…”

“…We expected the following: 1) The exposure to different TV genres would be related to risk perception dimensions; 2) Having a higher level of education would be negatively related to risk perception dimensions (Foster & Giles-Corti, 2008;Hale, 1996) and TV consumption (Gattino & Tartaglia 2015); 3) Neuroticism would be positively related to the perception of personal risk, i.e., personal aggression or criminality (Leary & Hoyle, 2009;Minnebo et al, 2014); 4) Living in a large city would be related to the risk perception concerning criminality (Amerio & Roccato, 2005).…”

The goal of this study was to investigate the relation between watching various types of TV programs and risk perception. Because risk perception is a complex phenomenon, we focused also on the role of personal (gender, educational level, personality) and contextual characteristics (living in a large, mid-sized, or small city) in the development of social concerns. A self-reported pen and paper questionnaire was administered to 316 Italian adults. We conducted an exploratory factor analysis to identify different groups of perceived risk causes, which revealed three

“…Researchers have argued that people consume media as a way to compensate for social deficiency such as social isolation, emotional insecurity, loneliness, and social discomfort (Hollenbaugh and Ferris, 2014; Minnebo, 2005; Minnebo et al , 2014; Tian, 2013; Wang et al , 2008; Weidman et al , 2012). This argument replicates Davis and Kraus’s (1989) compensation hypothesis and is in line with Tsao’s (1996) deficiency paradigm in which social deficiency is an important motivation for the mass media use and the development of parasocial interaction with media personalities.…”

“…For example, consumers shop as a way to alleviate a negative mood or emotional depression (Hedhli et al , 2016), as self-gratification (El-Adly and Eid, 2015), or for the therapeutic purpose of emotional coping when they are in a down mood (Lee, 2015). To lonely older consumers, watching TV programs can be a way of reducing their loneliness and dissatisfaction with themselves and their environment (Minnebo et al , 2014; Perloff and Krevans, 1987; Potts and Dawn, 1994) and finding companionship and belongingness (Chory-Assad and Yanen, 2005; Derrick et al , 2008). TV shopping programs, in particular, create a unique environment by combining entertainment and personal interaction with selling (Fritchie and Johnson, 2003).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the emotional factors that affect older consumers’ satisfaction with TV shopping and examined the relationships among these factors. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 285 consumers aged 60 years and older who had watched a TV home shopping channel was used. Structural equation modeling (SEM) examined the relationships among emotional factors that affect satisfaction. Findings This study found that loneliness was an antecedent of both gratification shopping motivation and telepresence and that telepresence positively affected consumer satisfaction with TV shopping. Research limitations/implications The findings of this study validate social-compensation motive of media consumption and deficiency paradigm in the context of TV shopping. The relationship between telepresence and satisfaction also supported transportation theory. However, the findings of the current study should be interpreted with caution due to the non-random sampling method. Constructs other than those employed in this study could be examined regarding outcomes of loneliness. Practical implications This study suggested that telepresence and shopping for self-gratification are effective ways to alleviate older consumers’ loneliness. In addition, the findings from relationships among emotional variables suggested potential marketing strategies for shaping positive consumer attitudes toward and satisfaction with TV shopping networks. Originality/value This study extended knowledge on loneliness by demonstrating how it related to attitudinal outcomes such as satisfaction and knowledge on telepresence by examining it in the context of TV shopping.

The Impact of Consumers’ Loneliness and Boredom on Purchase Intention in Live Commerce During COVID-19: Telepresence as a Mediator

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper examines the relationship between consumer loneliness, boredom, telepresence, influencer-brand image congruence and purchase intention by investigating consumers of live commerce during the COVID-19 period. With the help of an online survey website, survey data was gathered on 550 Chinese customers who experienced live commerce shopping in China. Although previous studies have shown that consumer boredom and loneliness have an impact on purchase intention, the mechanism of influence remains unclear. As a result, additional research is needed to study the link between boredom and loneliness and customer purchase intention. Consumers’ purchase intention was influenced by their feelings of loneliness and boredom. Telepresence played a mediating role in the impact of loneliness and boredom on purchase intention. Influencer-brand image congruence played a moderating role in the impact of consumers’ boredom on purchase intention. The study results contribute to the research of factors impacting consumers’ purchase intention. In addition, this study can help live commerce merchants better understand the impact factors of consumers’ purchase intention and contribute to the development of live commerce.
