Leveraging “human-likeness” of robotic service at restaurants

Despite the rise of human-robot interaction research, the mixed findings of human-likeness in consumer evaluation exist. Focusing on the restaurant sector, this research investigates how service robots’ varying levels of human-likeness of attributes (i.e., visual, vocal and verbal) influence consumption outcomes (e.g., service encounter evaluation, revisit intentions and positive word of mouth intentions) and the underlying mechanisms through cognition (i.e., perceived credibility) and positive emotion per Appraisal Theory. Drawing on a consumer experiment involving a total of 587 participants, results suggest that humanlike voice emerges as a dominant attribute affecting all three consumption outcomes. Humanlike language style positively affects service encounter evaluation but barely affects the other two outcomes. The significant effect of humanlike voice on three consumption outcomes is only explained by positive emotion whereas the effect of humanlike language style on service encounter evaluation is explained by both cognition (i.e., perceived credibility) and emotion.

The determinants of pornography actress production

This study investigates empirically the influences of physical appearances and risky sex in the production of adult video (AV) actresses. By analysing data concerning the Japanese AV actresses whose careers commenced between 2002 and 2013, we found that significant increases in the number of video shots of actresses are brought by cup sizes, working experiences, experiences as models or entertainers, and acting in videos of risky sex, but acting in risky sex videos has no significant influence on the production of those with greater cup sizes or serving as models or entertainers. We interpret that these actresses attract the market attention by their favoured appearances, and thus have no incentives to raise their production by acting in risky sex videos.     

Effects of human versus virtual human influencers on the appearance anxiety of social media users

The association between social media use and an individual's appearance dissatisfaction has generated broad scholarly interests. This study explored the specific appearance dissatisfaction resulting from the effects of social media influencer images on the appearance anxiety of users, in particular the differences between human influencers (HIs) and emerging virtual influencers (VIs). Women (n = 178) aged 18–35 were randomly assigned to HI images, VI images, and scenic images (control group) and were asked to answer related questionnaires. The results showed that images of both HI and VI induced significantly higher appearance anxiety than in the control group. The participants who were exposed to VI images reported significantly lower appearance anxiety than those who were exposed to HI images. Participants' state appearance comparison played a mediating role between the images of social media influencers and appearance anxiety. In addition, participants who viewed VI images reported significantly lower state appearance comparison than those who viewed HI images. Insights for influencer marketing practice were further discussed based on the results.     

论绿色营销的特征脉络及其必然选择

随着各国消费者消费观念的转变,人们在进行商品购买的过程中注意的不再单单是产品的价廉物美,而且更为关注的是商品是否环保及是否对消费者的身体健康有益。由此,各国企业纷纷推出"原始生态"、"绿色环保"产品,实行绿色营销。绿色营销作为人类营销活动理念的新飞跃,是实现人与自然、社会三者共生共存的营销活动与营销组合的过程。它的产生不仅有其特定的时代背景,也是人类理性消费的必然结果。它以环保意识与生态平衡为前提,运用综合性的方式和手段,有鲜明的绿色标记,实行国际绿色标准,以力求达到人与自然和谐和可持续发展这两个绿色文明价值目标,实现人、自然、社会三者共生共存的伟大愿景为使命。我国实施绿色营销活动时间较短,在发展的过程中还存在着一些问题。
