“…Despite sharing the same theoretical framework (Bandura 1986;Lowry et al 2017), engaging in digital piracy primarily requires self-efficacy in technical skills (e.g., knowing how to use piracy software and how to find download sites), while engaging in SVOD sharing primarily requires self-efficacy in interpersonal skills (e.g., establishing a trusting relationship between sharers and resolving possible conflicts). The influence of technical skills on digital piracy has been observed (Cronan and Al-Rafee 2008;Sahni and Gupta 2019), but the influence of interpersonal skills on SVOD sharing remains unexplored. Even without prior evidence, there are good reasons to speculate on the possible influence of the three factors studied.…”

Subscription video-on-demand platforms such as Netflix and HBO Max are being increasingly challenged by the widespread practice of sharing accounts with individuals outside the household. Platforms face a massive loss of revenue due to the opportunistic behavior of many users who enjoy content without paying anything or paying only a part of the required subscription fees. This study explores which factors influence platform users to pay all, part, or none of the subscription fees. Using a cross-sectional survey from Spain, various demographic, attitudinal, and behavioral factors were identified as predictors of the patterns of full, partial, and non-payment. The findings may help platform managers tailor some interventions to monetize a larger number of actual users by deterring the opportunistic payment patterns without discouraging the full payment pattern.

“…Self-confidence can be defined as an individual's belief in their ability to successfully perform the necessary actions that will lead to desired outcomes [47]. According to Sahni et al [48], individuals with high selfefficacy tend to exhibit high levels of desire, effort, and perseverance when confronted with various challenges. Conversely, individuals with low self-efficacy tend to experience lower levels of drive and endeavor.…”

With environmental concerns gaining prominence, the study of energy-saving behavior (ESB) has captured global expert attention. This research applied the SCT model and utilized survey data collected in Jiangsu Province to explore the factors influencing residents’ energy-saving behavior (ESB). The findings reveal that self-efficacy, attitudes, and social norms are direct positive determinants of ESB. Additionally, these factors mediate the positive relationship between knowledge and ESB. Notably, knowledge enhances self-efficacy, attitudes toward energy saving, and adherence to social norms, while outcome expectations improve attitudes and norms. Place attachment also emerges as a significant predictor of ESB, exerting its influence indirectly through attitudes and social norms. These insights enrich social cognitive theory by incorporating place attachment to examine ESB, substantially contribute to the discourse on environmental protection, and have implications for energy conservation strategies globally.
