Published: May 2013

This study employs the perspective of social exchange theory and seeks to understand users' intentions to use social recommender systems (SRS) through three psychological factors: trust, shared values, and reputation. We use structural equation modeling to analyze 221 valid questionnaires. The results show that trust has a direct positive influence on the intention to use SRS, followed by shared values, whereas reputation has an indirect influence on SRS use. We further discuss specific recommendations concerning these factors for developing SRS.

Are psychological attitudes towards vaccination an expression of personality? A cross-sectional study on COVID-19 vaccination in France.

BMC Public Health

Emerging Diseases Epidemiology Unit, Institut Pasteur, 25-28 Rue du Docteur Roux, Bâtiment Laveran, Paris, 75015, France.

Background: The capacity of the 7C model's psychological antecedents, which include confidence in vaccines, complacency, convenience, calculation, collective responsibility, confidence in the wider system, and social conformism, to explain variance in COVID-19 vaccine intentions and behaviours has been documented. However, it remains unclear whether the attitudes represented by the 7C psychological antecedents are specific to vaccination or if they are, in fact, an expression of underlying personality traits.

Methods: From February to June 2022, French adults completed self-administered questionnaires assessing COVID-19 vaccination history, the 7C antecedents, and personality traits ("ComCor" and "Cognitiv" studies).

Knowledge-aware recommendation systems often face challenges owing to sparse supervision signals and redundant entity relations, which can diminish the advantages of utilizing knowledge graphs for enhancing recommendation performance. To tackle these challenges, we propose a novel recommendation model named Dual-Intent-View Contrastive Learning network (DIVCL), inspired by recent advancements in contrastive and intent learning. DIVCL employs a dual-view representation learning approach using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), consisting of two distinct views: a local view based on the user-item interaction graph and a global view based on the user-item-entity knowledge graph.

Smallholder farmers produce over 40% of global palm oil, the world's most traded and controversial vegetable oil. Awareness of the effects of palm oil production on ecosystems and human communities has increased drastically in recent years, with ever louder calls for the private and public sector to develop programs to support sustainable cultivation by smallholder farmers. To effectively influence smallholder practices and ensure positive social outcomes, such schemes must consider the variety in perspectives of farmers and align with their priorities.
