We Shape Our Tools and Thereafter They Shape Us: The Role of Digital Acculturation in Human-Robot Interaction
No full textWhile culture plays a significant role in shaping attitudes towards human-robot interaction (HRI), cultural dimensions of societies do not always influence these attitudes as they should. Previous research has linked various factors with this phenomenon, e.g. media and popular culture. However, little research has been conducted to explore the bidirectional relationship between HRI and culture in digital acculturation. The current study aims to answer the question of how individuals can adopt new consumption patterns beyond cultural norms in HRI. The data collected from 302 Turkish participants were analyzed using the PLS-SEM approach. Digital technologies digitized consumer culture, causing individuals to adopt consumption patterns associated with different societies and not belonging to a particular society. Despite the cultural dimensions of Turkish society that negatively affect the attitude towards robots, the findings revealed that participants had a positive attitude towards HRI with digital integration.Science Citation Index Expande
Integration of Emerging Technologies in Tourism and Hospitality Curriculum: an International Perspective
No full textThis paper investigates the status of emerging technologies, how they can be integrated into the curriculum, the skills students can acquire through these technologies, and the employment opportunities they create in the tourism and hospitality industry. In the study, a content analysis was conducted on the curriculum of 65 undergraduate tourism and hospitality management programs, followed by an analysis of data from 28 academics to explore the role of emerging technologies in the curriculum. We have observed six core topics. Technology courses had the lowest proportion. We further observe four categories of skills that emerging technologies may provide students, highlighting their potential to shape future career opportunities. Building on these findings, the current study contributes to the literature by linking these skill sets - digital and technological, theoretical, operational, and managerial - to emerging job roles such as virtual reality tour designers, competent tourism developers, and AI-driven marketing specialists. Furthermore, the study identifies the domains where emerging technologies have the most relevance and outlines which purpose they may be included in the tourism and hospitality curriculum as a course. Thus, it forwards previous studies emphasizing the importance of emerging technologies. The study also suggests the implications for the literature, practice, and public policies.Social Science Citation Inde
Do We Worry About the Use of Artificial Intelligence and Plagiarism? Students' AI-Giarism Behaviour Through the Fraud Triangle
No full textThe combination of AI and plagiarism is an emerging issue following the coining of the term AI-giarism. However, there has been little research that investigated the factors that lead students to engage in AIgiarism. In response to this gap, the present study adopts the fraud triangle framework to examine students' intentions toward AI-giarism and identify the underlying factors contributing to it. Data were collected from 312 students enrolled in 25 universities and analyzed using structural equation modelling. The results indicate that AI capacity, Justification of plagiarism, unawareness of AI deception, and academic pressure increase AI-giarism behaviour among students. In contrast to previous research, the study found no significant relationship between AI-giarism and either lax enforcement or a lack of understanding of AI. By offering empirical insights into the antecedents of AI-giarism, the present study advances the current body of literature, which has been more conceptual or student perception-centric
The mediating role of purchasing duration in the effect of social media dependency on consumer purchasing behavior: Comparison of india and Turkey
No full textThis study aims to investigate the mediating role of purchase duration in the effect of social media use on online consumer purchasing behavior. As social media has been gaining increasing importance worldwide, becoming, it has also been changing shopping habits in almost all countries. With so many consumers spending more time online than ever before, it is important to understand how long it takes them to make a purchase and which factors are involved in their decision-making process. More specifically, this study examines the relationship between social media dependency and consumer purchasing behavior, focusing on the mediating effect of purchase duration. A study involving 329 individuals from India and 204 from Turkey was conducted, and the data was analyzed using PLS structural equation modeling. The results indicated that social media dependency positively influences consumer purchasing behavior. Also, the study exhibits that purchase duration mediates the relationship between social media dependency and consumer purchasing behavior
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
