Public face and private thrift in Chinese consumer behaviour

The concept of face, or mianzi, is quite important in Chinese culture. We examine how public face and private thrift together affect Chinese consumer shopping behaviour based on the results of a survey of nearly 400 Chinese consumers under the age of 40. When a product is used in public or the behaviour occurs in a public place, Chinese consumers are typically willing to spend more money than if a product or service is used in a private place or at home. In addition, non‐Chinese or Western brands do not mean more ‘face’ to Chinese consumers. Instead, it is the expense of the item that matters most with the ultimate goal of being praised by others.

单位根检验统计量MGLS的有限样本性质与应用

Ng—Perron单位根检验是值得在实际分析中广泛应用的检验方法。本文在详述M^GLS统计量的构造方法基础上，应用蒙特卡罗模拟试验分析了该统计量的有限样本分布特征，并拟合了常用显著性水平下临界值关于样本容量的响应面函数；此外，针对实际应用中检验回归式中差分变量滞后阶数的确定，本文总结了几种常用的方法，从而完善了依据M^GLS统计量进行单位根检验的程序和步骤。     

中国、挪威两国学生对“丢面子”的比较研究

目的 通过对中国与挪威两国高等学校学生对”面子”认知与理解的调查与分析,获得两国文化背景下对“面子”概念的理解及对“丢面子”程度上的认知有无差异。方法 以131名两国大学生为调查对象,采用问卷调查方法。结果 对脸面的理解及认知与文化有明显相关;与性别有无相关。结论 中国挪威两国不同的文化背景对“丢面子”的理解与感知在程度上有影响。然而,面子是一个具有文化普遍性的概念,从调查结果可知,在某些问题上,挪威学生对丢面子的感知也比较强烈。     

Gazes and faces in tourist photography

The article illuminates one of the central ethical questions concerning tourist photography: the ways in which tourists photograph local people in tourist destinations. In line with the previous research on tourist photography, the study suggests that tourists’ experiences of responsible behaviour become continuously re-defined and negotiated in relations with others. Through a hermeneutic phenomenological analysis of tourists’ accounts, the study focusses on the role of the face in photography; that is, how encountering the face of the other interrupts the photographer and calls for heightened responsibility and reflection. Drawing on the Levinasian idea of ethics as being-for-the-other, the article visualizes relational ethics that do not originate from the tourist’s gaze, but from the face of the other.     

Understanding the impact of host facial characteristics on Airbnb pricing: Integrating facial image analytics into tourism research

People rapidly and subconsciously process information from facial images. On sharing economy platforms, facial cues can provide a useful supplement to other information provided by reputation systems. Previous small-scale, rater-informed studies examining trust and attractiveness based on facial features on Airbnb found mixed support for impacts on pricing. We re-examine their impact using deep learning to classify host faces for an extensive data set of Airbnb accommodation in 10 US cities (n = 78,215). Together, trust and attractiveness contribute to almost a 5% increase in prices for Airbnb accommodation. We also test Gray's theory of motivation via the examination of pricing for different types of accommodation, finding that trust is more important in situations of smaller accommodation shared with strangers. The paper concludes with limitations and implications for research and practice.     

工作场所地位对员工越轨创新的影响：能力面子压力与地位关心水平的作用

基于面子观与地位观整合视角，通过对多时点收集的340份有效数据进行实证分析，探讨了能力面子压力和地位关心水平在工作场所地位对员工越轨创新行为影响机制中的作用。研究结果表明，工作场所地位正向影响员工越轨创新行为;能力面子压力在工作场所地位与员工越轨创新行为间起中介作用；员工的地位关心水平正向调节工作场所地位对能力面子压力的影响，同时调节能力面子压力在工作场所地位与员工越轨创新行为间的间接影响效应，即地位关心水平越高，能力面子压力的中介效应越显著。     

疫情下有效安全社交距离的模拟与分析

本文以CFD方法对敞开空间中覆盖与敞开口部的病毒传播的水平距离进行研究。对比不同颗粒粒径携带病毒液滴的传播情形以及不同防护形式对抑制病毒作用的效果,研究不同环境风速下污染物在人体前后1m范围的扩散浓度。结果表明,飞沫颗粒在粒径大于6×10^-5m时发生沉降。KN95口罩能使呼出飞沫扩散距离较无口罩工况降低50%。在迎风风速大于等于3m/s时,人体前方的1m距离设置合理;顺风风速无论大小在人体正前方1m内均存在感染风险。人体佩戴KN95口罩时,无风时1m距离是安全的;存在迎风风速时正向1m合理,而后方1m内存在感染风险;存在顺风风速时应增大前方1m的间距。本文可为降低人员感染风险、确定不同环境条件下社交距离提供一定的参考。
