Denial attitude and behavior as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative study

Consumer behavior in the omnipresent mobile environment constitutes a challenge for m-commerce vendors, as they seek to understand factors that affect it, positively and negatively, and to integrate social media in their mobile strategy. This paper presents an exploratory qualitative study about the use of smartphones and social media, in the context of m-commerce. The authors' objective is to facilitate the understanding of consumers' perceptions and behavior in m-commerce and social media and explore the potential of social media for m-commerce purposes. The results of their qualitative analysis show that reputation, design aspects, such as ease of use, as well as privacy and security are important factors for m-commerce and social media adoption and use. Their qualitative results also reveal factors having a negative effect to m-commerce. Business opportunities enabled by social media for m-commerce and how these can be leveraged in this promising mobile context are also discussed.

AbstractA qualitative study was conducted with a subset of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) membership base in Wisconsin, USA to examine attitude and behavior change associated with membership. Changes that were examined included: modified eating or cooking habits, increased consideration of food seasonality and associated consumer preferences for seasonal products, and an enhanced appreciation for farming. Although this study investigated ‘spillover’ attitude or behavior changes (e.g. reduced driving or increased use of environmentally friendly cleaning products), none were observed. This study indicates that attitude and behavior changes are generated by the structural elements of CSA including exposure to the farm, interactions with the farmer, and the constraints imposed by a pre-selected bundle of vegetables. There was no indication that changes occur due to the development and enforcement of social norms within the CSA membership base. Community, in the context of this CSA, is expressed primarily as a conceptual community of interest. Our results suggest that demonstrated attitude and behavior change increases the likelihood that a consumer will renew their CSA membership.

Interpretation Patterns

Religion and culture are sources of values and norms in society. However, the narrow interpretation of religious narrative puts it in a position that is contrary to the culture, such as the culture of bowing practiced by students at Pesantren Raudhatut Thalibin. In this connection, intense dialogue with various values is needed to bring forth an explanation that religion and culture in the context of Indonesian Islam are inseparable. This study aims to explain the validity of the culture of bowing in religious narratives. To achieve this purpose, this study is a qualitative study with an interactive model of analysis, which includes three stages, namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study explain that bowing is the local wisdom of the Javanese people that does not conflict with religious texts. The culture of bowing is a form of respect for older people. It is an internalization of religious texts with a sociocultural dimension because of the existing interpretation patterns and social construction in the form of religious attitudes and behavior in practicing Islamic teachings.
