“…(Insert Table 3 Teo and collaborators stated that DNAS scores not really vary according to gender or age but more to years of technology experience and perceived computer self-efficacy 33,34 . Akçayir et al shared this finding and added that sociocultural context has an impact on such scores 46 . Therefore, being a digital native is acquired through favorable technology relationship.…”

"Digital natives" concept defines young adults particularly familiar with emerging technologies such as computers, smartphones, or Internet. This notion is still controversial and so far, the primary identifying criterion was to consider their date of birth. However, literature highlighted the need to describe specific characteristics. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the factor structure of a French version of the Digital Natives Assessment Scale (DNAS). The sample of this study includes 590 participants from a 6-week massive open online course and from Web sites, electronic forums, and social networks. The DNAS was translated in French and then back-translated to English. A principal component analysis with orthogonal rotation followed by a confirmatory factorial analysis showed that a 15-item four-correlated component model provided the best fit for the data of our sample. Factor structure of this French-translated version of the DNAS was rather similar than those found in earlier studies. This study provides evidence of the DNAS robustness through cross-cultural and cross-generational validation. The French version of the DNAS appears to be appropriate as a quick and effective questionnaire to assess digital natives. More studies are needed to better define further features of this particular group.

“…With the rapidly evolving nature of technology, various experiences have shifted either partially or completely to the digital world, including the shopping experience (Bilgihan, 2016;Pantano and Priporas, 2016) and the service delivery experience (McLean and Wilson, 2016). Indeed, as the Internet has become a major channel of product and service delivery, and as a new generation of 'digital natives' (Akçayır, Dündar & Akçayır, 2016;Prensky, 2001) has become a key target for major retailers, the online shopping experience has taken on vital importance. In fact, experience is considered "the key battleground for today's global competition" (Weinman, 2015).…”

This paper advances the theoretical understanding of online customer experience in the context of e-shopping. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of experience, the relevant prior theories and definitions vary. This paper explores what an online shopping experience is as constructed by consumers, using their own words. Adopting Kelly's (1955) personal construct theory (PCT), twenty-three repertory grid interviews were conducted and analysed using multi-coder qualitative content analysis (with an inter-reliability score of 76%). The findings highlight the fluid nature of experience and its construction (emotional, perceptual, situational and behavioural). The variations in meaning explored in otherwise mutually agreed abstractions of what an experience is suggest a need for a strong emphasis on the individualistic dynamic nature of experience, both in theoretical and methodological terms. Accordingly, the paper contributes to theory by adopting a holistic approach that allows a definition of experience from the user's perspective, thus challenging current perspectives on the online shopping experience, and particularly on the emotion, risk perception and situational variables. Key managerial implications for online businesses are provided by highlighting the importance of finding better ways of managing the individualistic experience by focusing on dynamic customer journeys.

“…170-181) discuss the importance of cybertechnology for adolescent sociosexual development today. The difficulties that have arisen among well-meaning adults in addressing Internet-and social media-related risks for children and adolescents underscore the generational divide between those of us who view these technologies as external to human development and so-called "digital natives," for whom technology is an integral part of the developmental process (Akçayır, Dündar, & Akçayır, 2016). Koops,Dekker,and Briken (this issue, review existing academic research on the use of webcams for online sexual activity, noting that surprisingly little has been published on the subject to date.…”
