“…Our finding suggest that having a sense of self-efficacy in problem solving may be associated with the ability to flexibly regulate challenges related to both external and internal stimulation. Indeed, this is consistent with the observation that boredom prone individuals tend to adopt an external locus of control (Hunter & Csikszentmihalyi, 2003;Workman & Studak, 2007) -characterized by a belief that events and actions are a result of chance or are under the control of others (Rotter, 1966).…”

“…Earlier (vs. later) adopters scored higher on change, risk, and unusual stimuli subscales of the arousal seeking tendency scale [49]. Earlier (vs. later) adopters had an internal locus on control orientation, were less prone to boredom, and were highly capable in boredom coping [53]. Earlier (vs. later) adopters of fashion were higher on consumer impulsiveness [54].…”

This study explores how earlier (vs. later) adopters of innovation differ in time perception and creative attitudes, comparing Chinese and US college students. Research on the perception of time and creative attitudes is useful to understand how sustainability and creative collaboration might work together. Various relationships exist between different levels of innovation adoption groups and creative attitudes or perceptions of time. We found that earlier adopters scored higher on economic time and future time orientation. This may indicate that earlier adopters are sensitive about their planned schedule. Also, earlier adopters with a future time orientation are forward-thinking and anticipate the introduction of new styles, items, or events in the future. We also find that Chinese (vs. US) participants scored higher on creative capacity and creative collaboration but did not differ in general creative attitudes or creative risk-taking. For all participants from these two countries, earlier adopters (vs. later) scored higher on all aspects of creative attitudes. This study suggests academic and practical implications regarding sustainability issues. From an academic perspective, this study adds a new perspective to the literature about the relationships among time of adoption, time perception, creative attitudes, and cultural values, and is especially useful for how these four variables influence sustainability. From a practitioner perspective, this study provides information of how consumer values and attitudes in a developing economy (China) and a developed economy (US) might facilitate open innovation and induce sustainability.

“…Whilst theory, knowledge, and marketing practises regarding Muslims' consumers are relatively new , the impact of LOC on consumer behaviour is equivocal in the marketing field (Burroughs and Glen, 2004). However, LOC has been idiosyncratically used to identify the differences in the consumers' decisionmaking process (Darley and Lim, 1986), shopping behaviour (Workman and Studak, 2007), creativity in solving problems (Burroughs and Glen, 2004), interpersonal influences (Huang, 1999;Ranjbarian and Barari, 2010). Although a scant research has investigated the relationship between parental styles and LOC within the context of childrearing process, research measuring the direct and indirect influences of LOC on family communication patterns is not existed in consumer socialisation literature.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to measure the direct and indirect influences of locus of control on the communication patterns of Jordanian Muslim parents in the marketplace activities that directly influence their children’s consumption behaviour. The validity of locus of control components within the context of consumer socialisation and cultural perspectives has been taken into account before testing the hypotheses. Design/methodology/approach A total of 400 self-administered questionnaires were distributed to Muslim parents via their children aged from 8 to 12 years in 12 public schools that were randomly chosen from different areas of Amman metropolitan-Jordan. The principal component analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, paired sample t-test, the multiple regression analysis, and the bootstrapping test using structural equation modelling were used to validate the model’s constructs and to test the research hypotheses. Findings The communication patterns of Jordanian Muslim parents are more likely to be influenced by the high and low beliefs in the chance, whereas the highest degree of the indirect influences is associated with Muslims’ belief in powerful others. Research limitations/implications It measured the mediation of socio-orientation, but neither concept-orientation nor the simultaneous interventions of the two dimensions were taken into consideration. The solicited sample has been relied on parents’ responses. Future research considering mothers-fathers, mothers–adolescents or fathers–adolescents dyadic perspectives may disclose the convergence and divergence among Muslim family members to better understanding the mediation process. Practical implications The local and global marketers may segment the Jordanian market into consensual, pluralistic and protective Muslim consumers; rely on reference groups on their promotion campaigns, as the Muslim parents in Jordan are more influenced by the powerful others; and use the concept of chance positively in their promotion campaigns. Originality/value Based on rigorous methodology, this is the first study that measures the direct and indirect influences of locus of control on the communication patterns of Jordanian Muslim parents in terms of marketing milieu and collectivist cultures.
