Based on social cognitive theory, this study aims to explore the psychological mechanism behind consumer verification behavior following tourism e-commerce live-streaming.

Based on grounded theory, data were collected through 20 semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed.

This study identified that companies commonly use reminder messages and secondary promotions to facilitate the verification of tourism live-streaming products. Throughout this process, consumers undergo various psychologies related to verification. Specifically, they experience four positive verification psychologies: fear of missing out, anticipated emotions, status self-esteem and promotional perception. They also encounter two negative verification psychologies: psychological reactance and invasiveness. In addition, environmental factors such as the type of tourism live-streaming products and tourism destinations, along with individual trait factors like cognitive miserliness, tourism experience, autonomy, regulatory mode and impulsiveness, play significant roles in shaping verification behavior. These factors collectively influence the formation of verification behavior.

This study can provide recommendations for tourism companies to conduct marketing events following live-streaming. It is one of the earlier comprehensive studies discussing how to promote verification behavior following tourism e-commerce live-streaming. It helps to understand the psychological mechanism underlying the formation of verification behavior.

Sports gambling has a very long history, evolving with and influencing cultures, classes, genders and races from antiquity until the present. Attempts to ban it have failed, with its problems regularly emerging in new forms. Given the still limited historiography, this chapter adopts a broad-brush, qualitative, socio-historical approach. It focuses on five themes: the change over time in the various sports betting systems, such as lotteries; the changing nature of social networks in terms of sports gambling; anti-gambling attitudes and their importance in shaping legislative attempts to control or suppress it; the changing regulation of sports betting; and the way identities such as class, age and gender impacted on sports gambling.

The principles of good corporate governance (GCG) in Islam are more stakeholder oriented than shareholder oriented. If the implementation of GCG always refers to the principles of GCG that are sourced from the values of capitalism, it is necessary to reconstruct corporate governance so that it can be applied to Sharia institutions. Therefore, this study aims to carry out a detailed development of Islamic corporate governance with careful evaluation of the various aspects of the scientific panorama inherent in Islamic business and social finance.

The approach in this research is Islamic corporate governance research as a reference in “Article Title, Abstract and Keywords” based on Scopus from 1994 to 2021. The analysis was carried out in December 2021. VOSviewer and Excel software were used to analyze the collected data and apply bibliometric analysis.

The research findings indicate that Islamic corporate governance research can be categorized into subfields, such as research on the basics of Islamic corporate governance, analysis of Islamic corporate governance and research on various applications of Islamic corporate governance in Islamic finance. Although there is some important or fundamental research in Islamic corporate governance, this does not yet answer for such a powerful Islamic financial instrument. This study relies on research in the existing Islamic corporate governance literature and future research.

This study relies on research in the existing Islamic corporate governance literature and future research. The outcome of the current study will provide a strategic perspective to law-making bodies and practitioners of the organization to implement Islamic corporate governance to attain a higher sustainability performance.

GCG practices make companies have better performance; the failure of small and medium enterprises is the result of weak corporate governance practices. Corporate governance is indeed not a solution to all the problems faced, but governance is an unquestionable thing to achieve business success.

It discusses above the current state of corporate governance practices in the conventional economy and establishes the measurement of GCG at the functional level, compared from Islamic perspectives. Like any other civilization and religion, Islamic culture also embedded GCG since the early days of Islamization.

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first to examine the existing Islamic corporate governance literature by bibliometric analysis. The definite results and research areas can help scholars and researchers to conduct future research to enhance the scientific development of Islamic finance and provide alternative instruments to implement corporate governance according to Islamic values.

Paramedics play important roles in healthcare, yet little is known about their decision-making. There is evidence that thinking style is associated with individual preference for intuitive or deliberative decision-making.

Australian and New Zealand paramedics (n = 103; mean age: 38.7; mean 12 years’ experience; 44% female) and paramedic students (n = 101; mean age: 25.7; 59% female) completed a thinking style survey measuring active open-mindedness (AOT), close mindedness (CMT), preference for intuitive thinking (PIT) and preference for effortful thinking (PET). Participants also completed the 7-item Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) to assess ability to override an attractive but incorrect intuition.

With prior exposure to the CRT controlled, regression analysis found increasing AOT and decreasing age predicted cognitive reflection across all participants (R2/R2 adjusted: 0.198/0.157; F(10, 192) = 4.752, p < 0.001). There were moderate correlations between CMT, age and paramedic experience. There was no difference between paramedics and student performance on the CRT, though more students reported prior exposure to the items (33.7 vs 16.5%; Chi-square (2) = 8.02, p = 0.02). Those who reported prior exposure to the CRT scored significantly higher than those who had not (5.08 [1.44] vs 3.87 [1.70]; F(2, 201) = 14.34, p < 0.001).

Self-reported AOT was associated with cognitive reflection and indicates a role for open-mindedness in paramedics to support decision-making.
