The Key Connection Between the Elements of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) and Mathematics Performance: Literature Review

Purpose: Chinese language learning motivation and the Chinese cultural identity of international students in China, as important influencing factors of second language learning, is a research topic of great practical value and actual significance. International students' Chinese language learning motivation affects intercultural identity to some extent. This study aims to explore the impact of Chinese language learning motivation on intercultural identity among international students and to provide experiences and reflections for the teaching and daily management of international students in the later stage. Research Methodology: Based on a questionnaire survey of 85 international students from an independent university in Henan Province, this paper uses SPSS26. software to analyze the overall degree of international students' Chinese language learning motivation and intercultural identity, the influence of different factors on motivation to learn Chinese and intercultural identity, and the impact of different Chinese language learning motivations on intercultural identity. Findings: There were significant differences in intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and intercultural identity by nationality, length of Chinese language study, and length of time in China for international students, and no significant differences by gender. International students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivations substantially positively affect intercultural identity. Students' overall Chinese language learning motivation and intercultural identity were high.

Purpose: This study proposed a new model to investigate the mediating effect of trust in the platform and the connection between factors that precede trust in platforms and consumers' purchase intentions. Theoretical framework: This study combines the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with social influence to support the categorization of factors influencing trust in the platform and purchase intention. Design/methodology/approach: This study employs an empirical research method, conducting random sampling among users of the Douyin platform, selecting those with purchase intentions or prior purchase experience. Findings: According to the findings of this paper, both social influence and perceived usefulness exert a direct and noteworthy influence on customers' purchase intentions. They can also influence customers' purchase intentions through trust in the platform. However, Regarding the connection between perceived ease of use and purchase intention, trust in platform does not exhibit a noteworthy mediating effect. Research, Practical & Social implications: Theoretically, the research has identified a significant impact of trust in platform on purchase intention, providing a direction for future researchers to further explore in this area. Practically, this study can provide marketers with strategies and insights to enhance purchase awareness from the platform's perspective Originality/value: This study combines TAM with social influence to propose a new theoretical model for exploring the factors influencing trust and purchase intention. In the field of live-streaming e-commerce, few scholars have previously explored the factors influencing purchase intention from the platform's perspective. This research addresses this gap in the literature.

Purpose This study primarily aims to investigate the role of trust in the streamer in the formation path of purchase intention and the influencing factors of both trust in the streamer and purchase intention. Theoretical framework: Given that live streaming e-commerce possesses strong social attributes and requires technological means to facilitate remote social interactions, we have chosen to adopt the socio-technical theory as the theoretical foundation for this study. Design/methodology/approach: This study employs an empirical research approach and utilizes random sampling to distribute questionnaires to users of the Douyin platform. We select users who have an intention to purchase or have prior purchasing experience on the live streaming platform for our survey. Findings: According to the findings of the study, identification, two-way communication, and visibility have a significant impact on purchase intention. Trust in the streamer serves as a mediating factor in the relationship between these three variables and purchase intention. Synchronization cannot directly influence purchase intention and cannot impact purchase intention through trust in streamer either. Research, practical & social implications: For theoretical implications, prior research rarely delved into how trust in a streamer affects purchase intention. This study addresses this gap and helps researchers explore this field further. It explores the role of trust in streamer in shaping purchase intention, also offering practical strategies for retailers to enhance trust. Originality /value: This study innovates by breaking down trust into trust in the streamer to examine its impact on purchase intention formation. Future research can explore trust from different perspectives, offering new insights into trust in live streaming commerce.
