The Effect of Product Form on the Implantation Memory of Online Variety Brands: Evidence from Eye Movement Physiological Data
ABSTRACT. Due to the weak effect of traditional advertising, more and more brands use product placement forms such as variety show title or product sponsorship. In the past, the research on brand implantation mainly focused on the implantation of physical products in movies, games and traditional TV programs, as well as the morality and disclosure of physical products, using the methods of questionnaires and surveys, and paid less attention to the difference in the impact of physical and virtual product forms on brand memory in the implantation of new media - online variety show brands, as well as the memory effect of matching and improving the implantation location. In this paper, using eye tracker and skin electricity multi-modal physiological data, field experiments and questionnaire survey methods, we objectively explore the influence and adjustment of the shape and location of the brand implanted products on brand memory in the real online variety show environment. The research found that: in the same program, compared with virtual products, consumers have significant awareness of physical product brand implantation, which makes brand memory stronger. Marketing personnel can adopt scenario design strategies to reduce the difficulty of information processing, so as to improve the effectiveness of virtual product brand implantation.
Fact-checking about the COVID-19 Pandemic on Social Networking Sites: The Moderating Role of Gender
ABSTRACT. The COVID-19 pandemic is wreaking havoc globally, along with a pandemic of disinformation and misinformation. Fact-checking about the pandemic on social networking sites (SNSs) is more important than ever. However, few studies exist on the factors of fact-checking about the pandemic. Meanwhile, previous literature has implied gender differences in using information. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors related to fact-checking about the pandemic and the moderating role of gender on the impact of the factors. Based on social cognitive theory and social role theory, we established a research model to understand the factors of fact-checking on the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of gender. The analysis results show that personal factors (self-efficacy and outcome expectancy) and environmental factors (perceived skepticism and perceived ambiguity) have significant impacts on fact-checking about the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, our results reveal that gender has a moderating effect.
A Topic Model of Social Interactions in Live Streaming Commerce
ABSTRACT. The rapid popularity of live streaming has driven the emergence of a new business model, known as live streaming commerce (LSC). With the highly interactive feature, social interactions in LSC play an important role in affecting viewer purchase behaviors. In this paper, we collect a rich live streaming dataset and identify two types of social interactions behind danmaku, the real-time commenting that scrolls on the screen. We find that social interactions in LSC could be classified as transaction-oriented and relationship-oriented categories. Our paper shows that there exists a curvilinear relationship between relationship-oriented social interaction and viewer purchase behaviors in LSC. Based on our empirical analysis, to achieve higher sales in LSC, broadcasters should make the relationship-oriented social interactions accounting for a two-thirds share. Our paper also illustrates the different effects of social interactions on viewer purchase behaviors.
Empathic AI agents and Human-AI Relationship: Impact Mechanisms, Comparative Effects, and Journey Stage Differences
ABSTRACT. AI technology empowers AI agents to recognize and convey emotion and social cues, creating frequent interaction between consumers and AI agents, and an emerging human-AI relationship emerges. To advance our understanding of this human-AI relationship, this study proposes that perceiving a mental state is positively associated with the human-AI relationship and investigates the underlying mechanisms. Specifically, a survey was conducted to test the hypotheses. The results show that two dimensions of empathy are positively associated with harmonious human-AI relationships through elevated perceived anthropomorphism and psychological empowerment. Furthermore, this study verified interaction effects, comparative effects, and service stages differences. Finally, theoretical contributions and practical implications are discussed.
The effect of informational disclosure and emotional disclosure on reply volume in online depression community
ABSTRACT. This paper constructs a research theoretical model based on the social identity theory to examine the effects of in-formation disclosure and emotional disclosure of posts on the number of replies received to a post in online health communities for people with depression. There are several findings in our research. First, information disclosure negatively impacts the number of replies. Second, when posts show higher levels of negative emotion, they receive higher replies, and the degree of suicidal tendencies positively impacts the number of replies, while positively mod-erating the effect of information disclosure on the number of replies.
Update Strategy of Mobile Apps: A Hidden Markov Model
ABSTRACT. The market performance of mobile apps is very important to developers, but it is difficult to maintain or improve in the highly competitive market. An essential method to achieve the competitive advantage is iterative and incremental to update the apps. We propose a dynamic approach to capture the update strategy of mobile apps. Specifically, Hidden Markov Models are built to examine the relationships among update strategy, user satisfaction, and app performance. Theoretically, we propose that the update strategy determines the transmission between various levels of user satisfaction, which is the hidden states in HMM. Then, the transmission of user satisfaction results in app performance. The critical contribution of our study is that the dynamic process of mobile apps updates is theoretically and empirically examined. In this RIP, we propose the research design and discuss the implications.
The Application of Chatbot in Mental Health: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT. The emergence of the epidemic has fueled a series of medical chatbots that have sprung up, and although domestic healthcare-oriented chatbot practices are currently flourishing, there are problems of low patient trust.

Influence mechanism of constructive communication strategies on public health information adoption in post epidemic era—— a qualitative comparative analysis based on 31 provincial health official microblogs
ABSTRACT. In the context of decentralized communication, how to promote the public to understand and adopt authoritative content is a topic of common concern to government decision-making departments and academia. Based on the meaning construction perspective, this paper takes 31 provincial health-related government microblogs in China as the research object, and uses the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsqca) to gain insight into the combined interaction effect of the constructive communication characteristics presented by health information and the public decision-making environmental conditions on the public information adoption behavior. The study found that: a single condition does not constitute a necessary condition for a high level of public health information adoption, but the proper use of a combination of constructive communication features plays a more universal role in improving public information adoption behavior; Among the eight equivalent driving paths formed by the combination of constructive communication characteristics and decision-making environmental conditions, three types of government constructive communication adaptation modes are further summarized. The empirical results have important reference significance for improving the communication ability of local government new media.
Research on the Exploitative and Explorative Innovation Value of Cloud Computing from the Perspective of Environmental Characteristics
ABSTRACT. In order to fully realize the business value of cloud computing and achieve organizational objectives, it is extremely important to clarify the impact of different environmental characteristics on the ambidextrous innovation value of cloud computing. However, the existing literatures do not fully investigate the moderating role of environmental factors. This study conducts propensity score matching and difference-in-differences-in-differences analysis on the secondary hand performance panel data of 118 pairs of listed companies to investigated the moderating effect of the three environmental characteristics, namely dynamism, munificence and complexity, on the ambidextrous innovation value of cloud computing. The results show that cloud computing significantly promotes exploitative innovation in less dynamic environment and explorative innovation in high complex environments. Nevertheless, munificence explains a less significant proportion of the variance in ambidextrous innovation performance. This research creatively and empirically reveals the realization regularity of cloud computing ambidextrous innovation value under different environmental characteristics which provides theoretical and empirical implications for managers to carry out cloud based operation.
ttention Allocation to Customer Feedback: Absorbing Knowledge from Management Responses for Digital Innovation
ABSTRACT. On mobile apps platforms, management responses enable developers to spotlight customer feedback and then react accordingly. Aiming to understand management responses in digital innovation, we develop a theoretical model of attention-allocation that addresses an underexplored but essential question: In a digital system, how is spotlighted customer feedback absorbed into the following innovation, and what role do management responses play in this absorption? To answer the questions, we first identify the spotlighted customer feedback, relevant management responses, and the subsequent mobile apps updates on the Apple iOS platform. Secondly, text mining algorithms are developed to analyze the feedback and responses, and then measure stimulus-driven attention, goal-oriented attention, and the knowledge absorption in subsequent updates. The empirical results reveal that responding to maintenance and functional customer feedback improves the subsequent knowledge absorption in mobile updates. Additionally, absorbing knowledge from customer feedback is also improved if developers customize and post actionable response.
User’s Virtual Social Needs and Playlist Selection Behavior: Design Implications for Online Music Platform
ABSTRACT. With the rapid development of online music platform, music socialization has become one of the mainstream online social forms. For the “effect of people with the same preference gathering together” characteristic of playlist comment section, this study adopts the uses and gratifications theory, technology acceptance model to construct a theoretical framework for the influence of users’ virtual social needs on the playlists’ selection behavior. In Study 1, Python technology was used to capture the playlist comment data. Based on the uses and gratifications approach, and the qualitative analysis method of grounded theory, five dimensions of users’ virtual social needs were obtained, namely, the memory resonance, emotional expression, entertainment, interaction and self-expression needs. Study 2 established an econometric regression model to verify the causal relationship between users’ virtual social needs and playlist selection behavior, using the number of plays, shares, and favorites as the evaluation indicators. The study found that users’ needs for entertainment, self-expression and emotional expression positively influence playlist sharing behavior; while the favoriting and playing behaviors are mainly positively affected by memory resonance and entertainment needs. Study 3 verified the causal mechanism between users’ social needs and the willingness to select playlists by constructing a structural equation model (SEM). Results showed that, different virtual social needs would further influence users’ willingness to play, share, and collect playlists by affecting the perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived enjoyment, respectively. The purpose of this study is to reveal the users’ virtual social needs, behavioral patterns and influencing factors of music platforms, and to provide theoretical guidance for the recommendation strategy of high-quality playlists on music platforms.
ABSTRACT. As urban transportation commuting causes serious pollution problems, green commuting has aroused increased interest in academia. However, there is a lack of understanding of whether or not wealthy residents prefer green commuting and when residents choose green commuting. This study investigates how income (i.e., housing prices) affects residents’ green commuting choices. We integrate a novel data set to generate a unique dependent variable to evaluate residents’ green commuting rate, by combing two large real world transportation data sets. Our empirical analyses indicate a negative relationship between housing prices and green commuting. Additionally, residents’ green commuting choices differ across different commuting purposes. Specifically, the green commuting rate decreases for working, hospital visiting and hedonic purposes. This study contributes to the literature on urban traffic management by using real-world data to examine the factors affecting green commuting, while most of the research in this field is conducted using survey methods.
How do Internet use and involvement impact on residents’ attitude to healthcare in China: Evidence from propensity score matching analysis
ABSTRACT. Emerging research reveals the relationship between the Internet and public’s attitude towards healthcare. Some holds that Internet will improve their attitudes while others believe that it will deepen their misperceptions about healthcare. However, there is a lack of research that further disaggregates public attitudes into different dimensions and explores the different impacts of Internet use and Internet involvement. To answer this inconsistency, this study distinguished these two and divided the attitude toward healthcare into three aspects: doctor trust, medical institution satisfaction and medical problem perception. And this study used propensity score matching to analyze the effects of Internet on residents’ attitude by adopting the data from the China Family Panel study in 2018. The results show that Internet use only contributes to the rise of medical problem perception level. And Internet involvement increases Chinese residents’ doctor trust, but also ruined their medical institution satisfaction and exaggerated medical problem perception.
Research on the Privacy Disclosure Intention of Young Elderly When Using Aging-Friendly Retrofitted Health Apps
ABSTRACT. [Purpose / significance] This research aims to explore the influence mechanism of privacy disclosure intention of young elderly under the background of aging-friendly retrofit, and provide suggestions for further promoting reform and protecting the rights of the young elderly. [Method / process] Combined with privacy calculus theory, PLS-SEM was used to analyze the influencing factors of young elderly's perceived benefits and perceived risks, and to clarify its mechanism on privacy disclosure intention. [Result / Conclusion] The results show that personalization, procedural fairness and information control positively affect the perceived benefits of the young elderly, and then promote their intention to disclose privacy. Subjective norms and information sensitivity positively affect the perceived risks of the young elderly, and then inhibit their intention to disclose privacy. In addition, health information overload plays a negative regulatory role in the impact of perceived risk on privacy disclosure.
How proactive behaviors of doctors affect their individual e-consultation service quantity in online healthcare communities? A cross-level moderation model
ABSTRACT. Background
With the flourishment of e-health in recent years, e-consultations provided by doctors in Online Healthcare Communities (OHCs) are becoming more and more popular with the public in China. Meanwhile, proactive behaviors of doctors attribute to the success of OHCs, and they are often unsure how to behave proactively to attract patients, with limited research focusing on this. This study aims to explore how proactive behaviors of doctors affect their individual e-consultation service quantity in OHCs.
Methods
Data in our empirical analysis was collected from one representative OHC in China, referring to 3170 doctors in 865 medical teams. Hierarchical linear regression was conducted to examine the effects of doctors’ proactive behaviors at different levels on individual performance. Herein, proactive behaviors of doctors in OHCs mainly included response speed, pricing and related behaviors in the context of online medical teams.
Results
This study found that proactive behaviors at different level had significant impacts on individual Service Quantity (SQ) of e-consultations in OHCs. Further, positive effects could be verified in most conditions that were congruent with the logic of common sense, and the interaction terms demonstrated complex influences. Specifically, at the cross level, the switching cost weakened the relationship between price at individual level and individual SQ (β=-0.001, p<0.01), while strengthened the relationship between the response speed (β=0.110, p<0.01) at individual level and individual SQ. At the team level, the response speed in online medical teams positively moderated the effects of both price (β=0.438, p<0.01) and response speed (β=33.678, p<0.01) at individual level on individual SQ. In summary, proactive behaviors at different levels and their interaction effect play key roles in individual SQ.
Conclusion
Results of empirical analyses enable healthcare providers to adjust their behaviors proactively. In brief, our research provides healthcare practitioners with an improved understanding of the impacts of doctors’ proactive behaviors, and ultimately improve the efficiency and provision of delivered healthcare services in OHCs.
Platform affordance as job resources: job crafting and online retention of physicians in online health communities
ABSTRACT. Physicians are the primary providers of online medical services, and their participation is critical to the vitality and sustainability of the online healthcare community. Drawing upon the affordances theory and job demands-resources model, we integrate required online effort and platform affordances in online work settings and propose a dual-path model of online retention for physicians. The expected findings are that physician, cognitive, and emotional labor discourage online retention of physicians, egocentric affordance, online collaboration affordances, and social presence affordances contribute to it, and job crafting mediates these effects. The expected findings may extend the understanding of the theoretical motivation behind continuance behavior and help platform managers to motivate physicians’ continued participation on the platforms.

Halo Effect or Horn Effect? The Impact of Username-physician Fit on Online Health Consultation in Q&A Platforms
ABSTRACT. Online health consultation, as one of the most popular and fast-growing online health services, can relieve the pressure of offline medical care and is widely valued. Paid health consultation in Q&A platforms is a novel form of online health service where users other than physicians can provide health consultation services as respondents. In this study, we focus on the effect of respondents’ username-physician fit on their online consultation using a unique panel dataset of 254 respondents from a large online Q&A platform in China. In addition, the moderating role of online reputation and online effort is explored. The results show that the respondent's username-physician fit in the Q&A platform has a negative impact on the online consultation, that is, there is a negative halo effect. Furthermore, we find that online reputation and online effort have a moderating effect on this negative effect.
ABSTRACT. Information technology has shown great potential in healthcare, especially in chronic disease management. In this paper, we leverage rational addiction model to investigate patients’ behavioral dynamic relationship in the context of IT-enabled diabetes self-management. We firstly build an analytical model to capture the impact of patients’ online learning behavior on their health outcome and the patients’ decision making about their self-management behaviors, then utilize a real-world data to empirically test the hypotheses. The GMM estimator of dynamic panel data model demonstrates the rational forward-looking behaviors generally exist in patients with diabetes, but they exhibit heterogeneous patterns depending on their demographics such as age, disease duration and gender. We contribute to the literature of IT-enabled chronic disease management, and also extend the application context of rational addiction model.
The Relationship between Contents and Information Behaviors in the Social Media Context of Nature Disaster Event
ABSTRACT. Contents and information behaviors as the main vector of micro-blog can be analyzed to provide insights into what, why, and how contents influence information behaviors in crisis situation, which help crisis management understand group users’ behaviors and the characteristics of sociocultural systems. In our research, we examine whether the affective dimensions and non-emotion dimensions (using Cox proportion hazard model extract features) of micro-blog contents associated with diffusion behavior and non-diffusion behavior in terms of quantity in the social media context of earthquake event. Results show that emotion contents have more significant influence on diffusion behavior than non-diffusion behavior, while non-emotion contents have more significance effect on non-diffusion behavior than diffusion behavior. The results give implications for both practitioners and scholars who are interested in further studies on crisis management and information behaviors research in the social media context.
The Effect of Peer Consumer Purchase on E-commerce Platform
ABSTRACT. With the development of e-commerce platforms, more and more platforms pay attention to social information, especially action-based social information (i.e., peer consumer purchase). However, different e-commerce platforms expose different peer consumer purchases. The peers are not online but face-to-face. We introduce offline relationship into the online decision-making process of consumers and we also pay attention to the relative impact of peer consumer purchase. We conducted an experiment to manipulate the degrees of peer consumer purchases as well as utilitarian and hedonic products. We get the following result: 1. exposing the number of peer consumer is the most suitable way to improve consumers’ purchase intention; 2. product type plays an important moderating role in consumer purchase decisions. This study contributes to the existing literature on social information exposure about historical sales. And the results provide practical suggestions for e-commerce platforms on how to expose peer consumer purchases for different product types.
Investigating the determinants of depression among Chinese elderly : a machine learning approach based on SHAP
ABSTRACT. Traditional machine learning methods have been widely applied to identify the determinants of depression in the elderly, while the lack of explainability of machine learning has been a long-standing limitation. Based on the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, we combine the SHAP interpretation method with the LightGBM machine learning model to study the influencing factors of depression in the elderly. Results show that health status, socioeconomic status, family support, family structure, and social interaction are of key importance in identifying depression in the elderly. This study helps to demonstrate the effectiveness of SHAP in ranking influencing factors of depression in the elderly, and the results provide valuable practical insights in the prevention of depression in elderly.

ABSTRACT. Based on the company financial reports and employee reviews on the Glassdoor platform, a new data sources, this paper employs the Word2vec model to mine the company's declared culture and employee perception culture from two types of texts in the perspective of corporate culture. On this basis, a new measurement of employee-organization fit is proposed. Then we examine the impact of employee-organization fit and employee online rating on company value. The results show that: under the new measurement method, there is a certain difference between the company's declared culture and employees' perceived culture as a whole, and the employee-organization fit of most companies is at a high level; employee-organization fit has a positive impact on company value, and it will enhance the promotion effect of employee online rating on company value. This paper makes a new attempt to measure employee-organization fit by using new data, and clarifies the value of employee online rating and employee-organization fit, which has theoretical and practical guiding significance for related research and organizational management.
Managing Cloud Security in the Presence of Strategic Hacker and Joint Responsibility
ABSTRACT. The widespread use of cloud computing has brought cloud security to the forefront. The provider and the firm take joint responsibility for cloud security with cloud service models, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. As an essential participant, the strategic hacker attacks the cloud system resulting in cloud data leaks. In this paper, we construct a game-theoretical model to study cloud security management, where the game players include a cloud provider, a firm, and a hacker. By comparing the case of the strategic hacker and the case of the non-strategic hacker in the model, we find that the presence of the strategic hacker has a significant impact on cloud security investments. Different levels of attack can lead to underinvestment or overinvestment by the provider and the firm. In addition, our results also show that the compensation rates in bilateral refund contracts (BRCs) are different because of the existence of the strategic hacker. Furthermore, we examine the interaction between the three parties by considering the cloud service model. The strategic hacker’s attack effort is U-shaped with the cloud service model from IaaS to PaaS to SaaS. Meanwhile, the compensation rate has an increasing trend. Based on it, the effort put in by the provider and the firm also responds with the specific cloud service model, while they have the free-riding problem due to joint responsibility. Besides, from the perspective of social welfare maximization, there are cloud security investment problems in BRC. The provider and the firm would have the dislocation investment problem to maximize their own payoffs. Finally, our paper proposes two new contract types which monitor and verify respective efforts through internal and external. One is an internal effort-based contract, in which the provider supervises the firm internally and the compensation rate depends on the firm’s security efforts once the breach occurs. The other one is an external effort-based contract, in which the external monitoring organization monitors the provider’s and the firm’s efforts.
A Case Study of the Midea Group’s Digital Transformation: Based on the Organization- Environment Co-Evolutionary Perspective
ABSTRACT. This paper draws on an organization-environment co-evolutionary perspective to conduct a longitudinal single-case study on the digital transformation of Midea Group, aiming to reveal the interaction mechanism between traditional manufacturing enterprises and their micro- and macro-environment. The study finds that similar to the evolution of species, the transformation starts with the perception of internal and external environmental stimuli, which triggers micro adjustments of "cognitive model-organizational elements" at the organizational level, and later triggers macro adjustments of "organizational elements-competitive position" at the environmental level. It becomes the basis for a new round of internal and external environmental stimulation perception. The research model provides ideas and practical guidance for the dynamics, process, and results of the digital transformation of traditional manufacturing enterprises.
Impact of Community-based Governance Mechanisms on Transaction Intention in Second-hand Trading Platform
ABSTRACT. This study explores the influence of three specific community-based mechanisms on trust and transaction intention from three dimensions of relational governance (relationship norms, conflict resolution and mutual dependence). At the same time, this study compares the differences effect between consumers and prosumers. Taking the second-hand trading platform Xianyu as an example, structural equation model was used to analyze the data based on 721 valid questionnaires. The results show that interest group, feedback mechanism and dispute resolution mechanism all have significant positive effects on seller trust. In addition, the impact of dispute resolution mechanism on trust in seller is higher for prosumers than for consumers. Current research focuses on the impact of social attributes of community on users, this study explores different specific community-based mechanisms. This study extends the previous research on community-based governance, explores the boundary conditions of community-based governance.
How to Share Information with Third Parties while Protecting User Privacy on Internet Platform
ABSTRACT. Internet have radically transformed how people live their lives, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic. People rely on various Internet platforms in daily life, such as e-commerce platforms, social media platforms, etc. With the time going, Internet platforms have accumulated more and more personal information about their users or customers. In order to improve user experience and increase their profits, Internet platforms are willing to open their interfaces to third parties and share users’ information with them. Internet platform gains revenue by providing services for users, the users get utility by Internet platform. At the same times, the third parties enhance users experience by providing diversity services, and gain revenue and users' data. However, such kind of sharing may infringe users’ privacy and then erode users’ trust, especially for those users with higher privacy concerns. This paper tries to find out how Internet platforms can walk a fine line between sharing users’ information and protecting their privacy. Firstly, we analysis the cost-benefit of stakeholders. Then, we propose a pyramid model that captures the interaction between the users, Internet platform, and third parties. Specifically, we focus on the influence of user privacy sensitivity on information sharing behavior of Internet platform. We construct a three-stage dynamic game model with complete information to obtain the threshold value of third parties under the equilibrium state. The result shows that unrestrained sharing of user’ information with third parties will bring negative effects for Internet platforms and finally reduce their profits. The most advantageous way is to develop differentiated privacy policies for users with different privacy preferences. Those users with higher privacy concerns can pay some membership fee to enjoy the service provided by an Internet platform without the disturbance from various third parties.
Participating in the Platform or Not: Management on Distribution for Information Products with Network Externality
ABSTRACT. Channel selection is a critical trade-off for the information products that are characteristic with network externality. The current work develops the optimization models for the three channel strategies in the two-sided market: direct channel, platform channel and hybrid channel. The mathematical results show that, if the intensity of network externality for the online platform surpasses that for the information products, the hybrid channel strategy domains the other two strategies, otherwise, the direct channel is the optimal choice. The current work provides decision support for the information products firms on channel selection in the context of two-sided market.
A Context-Based One-Shot Information Extraction Model for Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Releases
ABSTRACT. Financial fraud has occurred from time to time and disrupts the normal operation of the market and hinders the healthy development of the accounting industry. To address this issue, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initiates lawsuits against companies that violate accounting standards and published the records of these lawsuits on Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Releases (AAER). Researchers and practitioner from all kinds of area can then extract different information from it. However, at the moment, most information extraction algorithms depend on large human labor to define rules or mark tags for the training data, which is not feasible for this task. Our study proposes an end-to-end information extraction framework, the context-based one-shot information extraction system (COIES). Our experiment shows that the results of COIES approach human performance which requires only one example with the minimal prior knowledge input.
Research on Risk Contagion Simulation of Listed Companies Based on Knowledge Graph
ABSTRACT. Based on the technology of knowledge atlas, the association network of A-share listed companies is constructed by using multi-source heterogeneous data of listed companies, using the top-down construction method, through ontology modeling, knowledge extraction, knowledge fusion, knowledge storage and other steps. On this basis, we use graph algorithms such as similarity calculation and community discovery to mine potentially related enterprises and identify risk communities. Finally, through key processing such as node merging and relationship synthesis, the correlation graph of listed companies is transformed into a risk contagion graph, and a risk contagion model based on personalized PageRank algorithm is proposed to analyze the risk contagion problems caused by different types of risk sources. From the perspective of Enterprise Association, this paper gives different risk weights to different types of relationships according to their different importance in the process of risk contagion, and uses multi case study methods to analyze the process and results of risk contagion in three scenarios: management fraud, negative changes in equity relations, and negative changes in shareholding and holding relations, in order to make a more comprehensive, detailed, and more effective simulation and prediction of risk contagion, Provide new ideas and technical support for the risk management of financial supervision departments.

Credit card default risk prediction based on improved CatBoost algorithm
ABSTRACT. By the end of 2020, the number of credit cards issued in China had reached 778 million, and with the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the default rate of credit cards in China has been increasing year by year. For the banking industry, credit card business is an important part of its personal loan business, and it is crucial to forecast the default probability of cardholders. A robust predictive model is not only a useful tool for banks to make judg-ments at the time of credit card application, but will also help customers to realize that this is an action that may harm their credit score, thus achieving the effect of default prevention beforehand.With the continuous enrichment of cardholder information, traditional statistical tools can no longer meet the prediction needs, and machine learn-ing methods suitable for big data analysis have started to be applied in the field of credit card default prediction. Among them, the Gradient Boost Decision Tree (GBDT) algorithm has emerged with various improvements based on GBDT, including XGBoost, LightGBM and CatBoost, because it can achieve better results in different scenarios. Among them, CatBoost is the improved version of GBDT with better comprehensive effect. Based on CatBoost al-gorithm is widely used in e-commerce, disease prediction and other fields, this paper uses CatBoost algorithm to predict credit card default probability.In this paper, the cardholder information of American Express credit card during 2017 is selected as the dataset, the variables are made easy to read by changing the data format, exploratory analysis is performed on 190 variables, various visualizations are tried, the categorical variables among them are selected, and Catboost is used to train the classifier and make predictions, and good accuracy is achieved.
Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Policy Support System for COVID-19
ABSTRACT. The COVID-19 has had a severe impact on global health and the economy. Policy interventions conducted by the government play an essential role in curbing the spread of the COVID-19. In this study, we propose a policy support system based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL), to provide scenarios of artificial intelligent practices for crisis management. The preliminary results show that the proposed system outperforms the benchmark metrics and policy implementations in the real world significantly, regarding the infection rate and normalized discounted cumulative economic gain from a long-term view.
Investigating the Factors for Public Service Capacity of Digital Government in China: A Qualitative Comparative Analysis
ABSTRACT. Digital government is a new governance model that emerged in the era of advanced information technology. Providing public services is one of the government’s foundational capacities. This research aims to figure out key factors that may contribute to the varying levels of public service capacity of provincial governments in China. With the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework, this research identifies five key influencing factors for the public service capacity of digital government.

Who, how, and when: Understanding the middle-aged and elderly’s subjective well-being on short-video platforms
ABSTRACT. Recently, short-video platforms have become popular among the middle-aged and elderly. While some studies proposed that excessive use of short-video platforms may lead to many psychological problems, little knowledge is about how to help the middle-aged and elderly use platforms reasonably and gain subjective well-being. Drawing on generativity theory and social cognitive theory, this study demonstrated that middle-aged and elderly users who have a higher level of need to be needed would achieve a higher level of subjective well-being and build more social interaction on short-video platforms. Especially, through building more social interaction on short-video platforms they can achieve a higher level of online subjective well-being. Moreover, when middle-aged and elderly users received more family cognitive support, the positive relationships of need to be needed with subjective well-being and social interaction on short-video platforms would be stronger, however, the positive relationship between social interaction and subjective well-being would be weaker.
Why not trust AI service? Applying event-related potentials to understand consumers experience in interaction with AI service in e-commerce
ABSTRACT. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used in marketing services and dramatically transforms consumer experience. However, little is known about the differences in interacting experiences between AI and human service and how interacting experiences impact consumer trust toward the AI/human. Based on cognitive appraisal theory, this study investigated consumer experience and brain responses underpinning passive interaction with AI service versus human service when participants faced objective or subjective tasks in e-commerce using a behavioral experiment and Event-Related Potential (ERP). The behavioral results showed that AI service experience evoked a more negative consumer emotion and led to a lower trust attitude towards AI service solutions than human service, moderated by task type. The ERP results showed that interacting with AI service evoked larger amplitudes at P2 and LPP than with human service, which suggested that consumers automatically put more attention on AI service at the subconscious stage and purposively allocated cognitive resources to regulate the negative emotion elicited by AI service at the conscious stage. Consumers' trust towards solutions of AI/human service and the moderating effect of task on trust in ERP experiment were consistent with the behavioral experiment. Moreover, the moderating of objective or subjective tasks on emotional experience appraisal was only found in the late emotional regulation stage (reflected by LPP). The findings offer important theoretical and practical implications for implementing the AI service in e-commerce and suggest that reducing the bias against AI is very important for AI agent providers and e-retailers.
ABSTRACT. We present the COCOATREE (Corpus for Cognitive Analysis of Text Reading with Eye-tracking and Electroencephalography), a dataset combining eye-tracking and EEG (electroencephalography) recordings while reading financial text. To construct the dataset, we recruited 11 native Chinese speakers fluent in English to read our text materials in an experimental environment. We recorded their gaze and brain activity data for two types of reading tasks (i.e., normal reading and task-specific reading) and three types of financial text (i.e., English annual report, English financial news, and Chinese financial news). To our best knowledge, this is the first dataset of simultaneous eye-tracking and EEG recordings for analyzing the reading behaviors of native Chinese speakers in finance and economics. Our dataset also provides a valuable resource for machine learning of cognitive natural language processing models.
Birds of a Feather Flock Together: The Match Effect of Online Profile Pictures
ABSTRACT. Prior research has indicated that people with similar personal traits (i.e., personalities, interests, taste) tend to select the same type of profile pictures and profile pictures may influence consumer’s perception and behavior. The current short paper offers a novel insight into the match effect of profile pictures, that is, when the types of profile pictures match, buyers are more likely to purchase the products or services provided by sellers. Based on research stream on profile pictures and the theory of homophily, we propose that the match effect of profile pictures leads to increased perceived homophily and thus drives consumers’ purchase behavior. An initial study has been conducted to confirm the match effect of profile pictures. Two experimental studies, one of which will adopt neuroscience method – event-related potentials (ERPs), are proposed to provide more stringent evidence and examine the possible moderators (i.e., information type and information quality).
ABSTRACT. According to the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), there are two routes when individuals process information, the central and the peripheral route, and involvement is an important factor affecting the choice of routes. However, the influence of health involvement on the choice of patient information processing route on online health consultation platform is still elusive. Here, we first used behavioral experiment to identify the impact of health involvement on patients' information processing routes, and then conducted a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment to measure the activation of ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC) and ventral striatum (VS), the two key brain regions that reflect individual cognitive resource allocation. The results showed that the VMPFC and VS brain regions were significantly activated when health involvement was low, suggesting that patients chose the central route. When health involvement was high, no relevant brain regions were activated, indicating that patients chose the peripheral route.
Exploring Appropriate Communication Styles for Chatbots in Service Recovery
ABSTRACT. After service failure, the occurrence of chatbots often brings bad service experiences to people. In order to improve consumer satisfaction when interacting with chatbots in service recovery, we design an online experiment to explore appropriate communication style designs for chatbots, also considering the moderating effects of consumers’ relationship orientation and task complexity. Results show that during service recovery, consumers are more satisfied with social-oriented chatbots rather than task-oriented ones. Besides, we explore the mechanism by which the communication style affects consumer satisfaction in service recovery by introducing cognition-based trust and affect-based trust as mediating variables.
Avatar Design in Virtual Reality: The Effect of Avatar Similarity in Procedural and Creative Tasks
ABSTRACT. The rapid growth of virtual reality (VR) technologies and computing power has given birth to immersive platforms, where users can immerse in a 3D virtual world and engage in various activities such as job training, remote collaboration, and innovative marketing practices. Through the lens of self-perception theory, this paper investigates how avatar design, i.e., user-avatar similarity, affects users’ self-concepts and shapes their behaviors in immersive VR. The preliminary experiment reveals that higher avatar-user similarity leads to higher task engagement in general. Furthermore, while a similar avatar promotes users to regulate their behaviors and achieve better performance in a procedural task, high similarity also inhibits users’ creativity by invoking habitual thinking, resulting in worse performance in generating original ideas in a creative task. This study is expected to contribute to HCI literature by revealing the value of avatar design and providing new perspectives in improving users’ experience in the immersive virtual world.
The Effects of Co-viewers’ Danmaku on Consumers’ Purchase Intention in E-commerce Live Streaming
ABSTRACT. Based on the relevant literature on the elaboration likelihood model and vicarious learning theory, this study investigates the impacts of the danmaku sent by co-viewers on consumers’ purchase intention in E-commerce live streaming. An online experiment was designed and conducted to examine the effects of danmku on consumer behavior in a simulated E-commerce live streaming setting. It is found that the accuracy and consistency of danmaku sent by co-viewers increases consumers’ purchase intention by improving consumers’ vicarious learning. Meanwhile, the credibility of danmaku affects consumers’ purchase intention via eliciting consumers’ resonance. Also, the findings show that age has a moderating effect on the impacts of vicarious learning and resonance on consumers’ purchase intention.
Best Deals for Livestreaming Fans: A Negotiation Model under the Influencer's Reputation Concern
ABSTRACT. In live-streaming e-commerce shows, the reputation of influencers plays a central role because it affects the brand-side price negotiation and the consumer-side long-run profitability simultaneously. Building on the career concern literature, this paper examines the effect of the influencer's reputation on price negotiation. Our analytical and numerical results suggest that the price obtained from the negotiation is affected by the reputation concern non-monotonically. An influencer with a greater reputation concern may get a smaller discount. Besides, the brand, the influencer, and consumers are better off simultaneously if the influencer has a moderate career concern.
Practical Analysis of improving service efficiency from the perspective of online government construction——Take the government website search engine as an example
ABSTRACT. Strengthening the construction and management of government websites, improving the government's online duty performance ability and service level, and building an overall linkage and efficient online government benefiting the people are the key links to improve the efficiency of government services. With public increasing demands for search function, government websites are expected to improve dramatically search and services to provide what the public want from government websites, including needed information, working procedures, and FAQs, that is “what you search is what you want.” Based on the practice of the website of the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality, this research aims to investigate strategies for improving search and services of government websites. From the perspective of both government functions and public appeal, our website designed the common thesaurus used in daily life through technology innovation, and constructed the intelligent scenario with a high degree of match between the government service to provide and the demand keyword of public search. Again, creating the tagging manage system of the website content, our website implemented the search engine based new service concept incorporating social media.

Risk Evaluation Method of Listed Enterprise Financing based on D-AHP and TOPSIS
ABSTRACT. The survival and development of listed enterprises are influenced by financing, and the financing risk assessment of listed enterprises is negatively affected by uncertainties of evaluation information caused by the difference of evaluation experts' experience. To address it, a financing risk assessment method of listed enterprises based on D-number theory improved analytic Hierarchy Process (D-AHP) and approximate ideal solution ranking method (TOPSIS) is proposed. The evaluation index system and hierarchical structure model are established according to the three financing methods of bond financing, equity financing and hybrid financing of listed financing risk. Then the D-AHP is used to solve the impact weight of each index, and the TOPSIS is used to calculate the expert weight. Finally, the financing risk value of listed enterprises is obtained, so as to give reasonable evaluation results about financing risk impact of listed enterprises.
Financial distress prediction based on textual risk disclosures in financial reports
ABSTRACT. The textual risk disclosures in financial reports, which discuss the company’s potential risks from a forward-looking perspective, were rarely considered in financial distress prediction. Thus, this study explores whether the textual risk disclosure of financial reports can help predict the financial distress or not. To comprehensively extract information from the massive unstructured textual risk disclosures, the textual attributes are utilized to capture the linguistic styles of risk disclosures and an unsupervised topic model is adopted to identify the textual topics (the content of the text) in risk disclosures. Based on the textual risk disclosures of 4,039 financial reports for U.S. energy companies from 2006 to 2020, the empirical results demonstrate that the textual attributes and textual topics extracted from risk disclosures in financial reports can significantly improve the financial distress prediction performance compared with commonly used numerical variables (financial and market variables). Moreover, the textual topics in risk disclosures can provide more information than commonly used textual attributes for financial distress prediction. Last but most importantly, the textual risk disclosures become more and more useful relative to numerical variables as the predicting time horizon becomes longer. This study can help investors and regulators understand how to analyze the textual risk disclosures in financial reports and incorporate the textual information into financial distress prediction.
Online Health Misinformation Detection: Fusing Medical Knowledge Graph and Neural Network
ABSTRACT. Due to the large amount of inaccurate information online, the public can be particularly vulnerable to misinformation. This study aims to fuse Knowledge Graph and Artificial Neural Network (KGANN) to detect online health misinformation. Our model transforms a public medical knowledge graph into a neural network so that the knowledge graph can be trained by backpropagation algorithm. The model integrates medical knowledge and feature vectors, and determines their weights during training. We performed KGANN on two public disease-specific datasets (including factual and error information related to diabetes and cancer) to validate its effectiveness. The experimental results show that KGANN significantly outperforms two competing methods in terms of F1 Score and Accuracy, and the operation process of the model can be explained to a certain extent through triples in the knowledge graph.
Research on the influencing factors of the intelligent safe driving assistance system effectiveness in enterprises
ABSTRACT. Artificial intelligence system is more and more widely used in enterprises. The research on the application effect of artificial intelligence system is of great significance. Taking safe driving as a scenario, this paper investigates the influencing factors of effective use (improving drivers' safe driving behavior) of intelligent safe driving assistance system in enterprises. Based on the theory of person-environment fit, this paper proposes a research model on how individual factors (i.e., age) and organizational factors (i.e., safety assessment system and workload) affect the effectiveness of the system. Further, we analyzed and verified the research model with the driving behavior data from a large petrochemical enterprise for 4 years. The results show that the intelligent safe driving assistance system is more effective for older drivers. When the enterprise is equipped with the corresponding safety assessment system or the workload is low, the safe driving assistance system will be more effective. At the same time, there are also significant interactions among the above factors. When the workload is large, the safety assessment system plays a greater role. The positive effect of safety assessment system on the effectiveness of intelligent monitoring system is more obvious among older drivers. The negative effect of workload on the effectiveness of intelligent monitoring system is more obvious among young drivers.
Outlier detection and association discovery of air pollution emissions from industrial enterprises driven by big data
ABSTRACT. Air pollution is a major issue related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. At present, the research on air pollution emissions mostly focuses on analysis in a specific industry or regions. Enterprise is the most important entity unit of air pollution source. While limited by the amount and granularity of data, there are a few studies on air pollution of industrial enterprises. Especially, there is a lack of research on anomaly of enterprises, the relationships between districts or counties, and between pollutants emitted by enterprises and industries of enterprises. For this purpose, driven by big data of air pollution emissions of enterprises in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the data mining of enterprises’ pollution emissions is carried out, including the outlier detection based on clustering, association rule mining based on Apriori and association degree discovery based on grey association analysis. The results show that: (1) In Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, industrial enterprises can be divided into six clusters, of which three categories belongs to outliers, which have excessive emissions of total VOCs, PM and NH3 respectively; (2) From the perspective of the association between different data, these districts nearby Hengshui and Shijiazhuang city in Hebei province form strong association rules. (3)From the perspective of the association between different features, the industries affecting NOx and SO2 mainly are electric power, heat production and supply industry, metal smelting and processing industries.

Text or Short video? The influence of recommendation methods on consumers' purchase intention* ——Take Xiaohongshu as an example
ABSTRACT. Based on the perspective of explanation level theory and perceived value theory, this paper uses experimental research methods to explore the mechanism and boundary conditions of different forms of recommendation (text vs. short video) on consumers' purchase intention. The study found that compared with pictures and texts, short videos make consumers have higher purchase intention, and perceived value plays an intermediary role in the relationship between recommendation methods and purchase intention. Perceived psychological distance mediates the relationship between recommendation methods and perceived value. Bloggers' identity sources (plain people vs. celebrities) regulate the relationship between recommendation methods, perceived value and purchase intention. Experiential information disclosure regulates the relationship between recommendation methods and perceived psychological distance.
Research on the influence of executive change on enterprise credit risk based on KMV model
ABSTRACT. Based on the KMV model to assess credit risk , this paper explores the influence of senior executive changes on enterprise credit risk. On this basis, we can explore the adjustment effect of enterprise incentive mode and governance mode on this influence. The research results found that the credit risk of an enterprise increases significantly after the change of senior management, and the second position of senior management will strengthen the negative effect of senior executive change on the credit risk of enterprises, while the high concentration of equity of enterprises will weaken this negative effect. In addition, the research results found that both salary incentive and equity incentive can weaken the negative effect of senior executive changes on enterprise credit risk.
Online Q&A community users' willingness to continuously contribute knowledge based on the perspective of social capital

The influence mechanism of shared language of doctors' popular science works on patients' online consultation intention:An empirical study based on text mining
ABSTRACT. Information asymmetry in online consultation is widespread in online health communities (OHCs). As a key quality signal, it is very important to solve the problem of information asymmetry between doctors and patients. Basis on social capital theory, combining the relevant concepts in knowledge management and signal transmission theory to construct a research model, this study aims to explain the deep-seated mechanism of how doctors' popular science works affect patients' online consultation intention. By adopting machine learning and natural language processing technology, a new variable representing "common language" was extracted from the unstructured data of 5927 popular science articles and 43624 online consultation records, and its influence mechanism on online consultation intention was investigated. It is found that the common language of doctors' popular science works has a positive impact on patients' online consultation intention through the mediation of cognitive trust. Moreover, the professional qualifications of doctors can significantly moderate the impact of popular science article trust on patients' willingness to online consultation. The results of this study extend the theoretical connotation and interpretation scope of social capital theory, and provide important reference for doctors to provide popular science knowledge and efficient operation of online medical communities.

[Objective] To propose strategies to control the spread of rumors information and strengthen the spread of anti-rumor information by comparing the diffusion status of rumors and anti-rumor in social media. [Methods] Taking the incident of "Cao Moutao died of burns" as an example, we constructed Weibo users' retweeting relationship, calculate node influence with five network centrality indicators including degree center, and selected the SIR model to analyze the diffusion pattern of rumors and anti-rumor information. [Limitation] User infection rate and recovery rate should be adjusted according to individual situation. [Conclusion] Node influence is related to the closeness of this node and other nodes, identity attributes; Compared with anti-rumor information, rumor information has characteristics of explosiveness and single source.
The Influence Mechanism of Self-endorsement of We-media Short Videos
ABSTRACT. Self-endorsement is the third way to increase credibility besides authority endorsement and identity endorsement, and it is widely used in the field of social media and short videos. The individual spends years on providing original, valuable, and quality content to gain audiences’ approval and support. This study creates a new model which is focused on testing the influence of self-endorsement-related factors, with the help of a questionnaire survey and data analysis. The results suggest that perceived interactivity, as the decisive factor, has a huge influence on WOM information credibility and information usefulness. Information usefulness is significant to the users’ intention to continue using the media platform or subscribe to the bloggers, whereas WOM information credibility is non-significant. However, compared to traditional media, social support is not of great concern to the audiences of short videos. This study creatively concludes the principles of self-endorsement, explaining its exertion and effect.
