  • The Effects of Live Platform Exterior Design on Sustainable
    sustainability Article The Effects of Live Platform Exterior Design on Sustainable Impulse Buying: Exploring the Mechanisms of Self-Efficacy and Psychological Ownership Xiaoxiao Gong 1,* , Zuoliang Ye 2, Kuo Liu 1 and Na Wu 3 1 School of Business Administration, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, Chengdu 611130, China; [email protected] 2 School of International Business, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, Chengdu 611130, China; [email protected] 3 School of Business Administration, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, Wuhan 430073, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 March 2020; Accepted: 15 March 2020; Published: 19 March 2020 Abstract: The sensory upgrading facilitated by live platforms, such as YouTube Live, Twitch, and Periscope, can facilitate much better interactions and understanding between a product, its brand, and the user. The question of how to enhance sustainable marketing effects using exterior design is currently a major topic in the live streaming marketing sector. The effect of the exterior design of a live platform on the impulse purchases of its consumers has rarely been discussed by academic research. Accordingly, based on the theory of self-determination, this study explored the direct effects of exterior design, self-efficacy, psychological ownership, and impulse buying by using multiple linear regression, and examined the indirect effects of these variables using the structural equation model. In this study, 534 samples were collected from live consumers, and our hypotheses were verified by employing hierarchical regression. As revealed from the results obtained, the self-efficacy and psychological ownership exhibited by consumers exerted synchronous and chain mediating effects on the relationships between the exterior design of the platform and consumer impulse buying.

  • BTS, Digital Media, and Fan Culture
    19 Hyunshik Ju Sungkyul University, South Korea Premediating a Narrative of Growth: BTS, Digital Media, and Fan Culture This article explores the landscape of fan engagements with BTS, the South Korean idol group. It offers a new approach to studying digital participation in fan culture. Digital fan‐based activity is singled out as BTS’s peculiarity in K‐pop’s history. Grusin’s discussion of ‘premediation’ is used to describe an autopoietic system for the construction of futuristic reality through online communication between BTS and ARMY, as the fans are called. As such, the BTS’s live performance is experienced through ARMY’s premediation, imaging new identities of ARMY as well as BTS. The way that fans engage digitally with BTS’s live performance is motivated by a narrative of growth of BTS with and for ARMY. As an agent of BTS’s success, ARMY is crucial in driving new economic trajectories for performative products and their audiences, radically intervening in the shape and scope of BTS’s contribution to a global market economy. Hunshik Ju graduated with Doctor of Korean Literature from Sogang University in South Korea. He is currently a full‐time lecturer at the department of Korean Literature and Language, Sungkyul University. Keywords: BTS, digital media fan culture, liveness, premediation Introduction South Korean (hereafter Korean) idol group called Bulletproof Boy AScouts (hereafter BTS) delivered a speech at the launch of “Generation Unlimited,” United Nations Children’s Fund’s (UNICEF) new youth agenda, at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 24, 2018. In his speech, BTS’s leader Kim Nam Jun (also known as “RM”) stressed the importance of self-love by stating that one must love oneself wholeheartedly regardless of the opinions and judgments of others.1 Such a message was not new to BTS fans, since the group’s songs usually raise concerns and reflections about young people’s personal growth.

  • A Conversation Analysis of Facebook Confessions Pages: Identity and Identification
    A Conversation Analysis of Facebook Confessions Pages: Identity and Identification Nurul Firdauz Binti Abd Rahman PhD The University of York Sociology September 2018 Abstract How individuals identify each other through digital media and display their claims of knowledge is at the core of this study. This work contributes new insights into how participants accomplished identity work by looking at the conversational resources they use in addressing matters of identity in their interaction. The study draws on Conversation Analysis (CA), particularly conceptual work on membership categorization analysis (MCA) and epistemics for analysis. The findings based on two interrelated aspects of the data taken from Facebook Confession Pages interaction. The first concerns the features of the initial (confessional) message, and the second relates to subsequent responses on the initial message. Close examination of the initial message shows ways that identity work is initiated as it would implicate in that subsequent response messages. Two primary forms of messages were then identified on the basis of person reference: those that inform and those that inquire. In each category, the analysis demonstrates that person reference is used as interactional resource in making an epistemic claim of the referent. The person reference is contextual in that they are locally based and understood within the specific contexts of the message. Thus, it is shown that the employment of person reference in the initial message illustrates the epistemic level that author has with the referent. Accordingly, analysis of the subsequent response messages demonstrated ways in which the identity, as presented in the initial message, is identified. The analysis of the subsequent response messages offers insight into how identity works is accomplished through a collaborative commenter’s epistemic stance.

    State of Video Streaming Apps in Asia Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 The Dramatic Growth of Video Streaming Apps in APAC 6 Video Streaming Apps’ Continued Momentum in APAC 9 Massive Surge in APAC Video Streaming Apps Usage 13 Monetization of APAC Top Video Apps Soars 18 Lessons From APAC Video Streaming Apps 21 2 Executive Summary ● Video streaming on mobile continues to see incredible growth. Between H1 2015 and H1 2017, worldwide time spent in the Video Players & Editors and Entertainment categories on Android phones grew over 150% to reach close to 80 billion hours. Video consumption by users in Asia-Pacific (APAC) markets tripled during this period, accounting for almost half of all worldwide video consumption on mobile apps in H1 2017. ● Revenue from in-app purchases of video streaming* apps in APAC has also seen stellar growth. This is most visible in China, where total revenue from the top 5 video streaming apps in H1 2017 was 7x higher than in Japan. Overall, revenue from the top 5 video streaming apps has more than doubled year-over-year in all of the countries observed in APAC for the purposes of this report. ● India, South Korea and Thailand have all seen a dramatic increase in data usage consumed via the top video streaming apps over the past year. In countries that saw a higher share of video data usage on Wi-Fi such as Japan, average session length tends to be longer. In India, where video apps are more typically consumed via mobile data, average session duration is not far behind those in more developed markets.

  • Special Issue on Live Videos in Social Media
    Guest Editorial Preface Special Issue on Live Videos in Social Media Kaja J. Fietkiewicz, Henrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Germany SPECIAL ISSUE ON LIVE VIDEOS IN SOCIAL MEDIA Live videos are becoming more and more popular within the social media domain, either in form of standalone live streaming platforms (e.g., Periscope, Twitch or YouNow) or as live-video features embedded in other services (e.g., on Facebook or Instagram). Even though a quick search for “live videos” and “social media” in the scientific database Scopus yields only 39 results (as of August 2019), the volume of the research on this topic is also getting bigger – just under different key words. A search for “live streaming” and “social media” already leads to 74 scientific works since 2011. If we extend the search to the underlying technology (or activity) of “live streaming,” we find a total of 1,766 research outputs (however, some of them dealing with the P2P technology). All in all, the topical spectrum of research on live streaming or live videos is very broad and fits perfectly into the scope of this journal, as it concerns internet-based social interaction technology, the human-computer interaction, and information system evaluation. What makes the live streaming services so special? Unlike on the “traditional” social media platforms, the inter-user communication on live streaming platforms occurs synchronously (the streamers and the viewers communicate in real-time with no time delay) (Scheibe, Fietkiewicz, & Stock, 2016), which in turn leads to a very differentiated social interaction and user engagement. When we compare live streaming to traditional mass media, the viewers motivation has a stronger social and community basis (Hilvert-Bruce, Neill, Sjöblom, & Hamari, 2018).
