E-Commerce Shopping Motivation and the Influence of Persuasive Strategies.

Persuasive strategies are used to influence the behavior or attitude of people without coercion and are commonly used in online systems such as e-commerce systems. However, in order to make persuasive strategies more effective, research suggests that they should be tailored to groups of similar individuals. Research in the traits that are effective in tailoring or personalizing persuasive strategies is an ongoing research area.

To bridge this gap, we conducted an empirical study among 659 participants resident in North America using social cognitive theory as a framework to uncover the determinants of the performance of bodyweight exercise behavior.
