The effectiveness of loss-framed versus gain-framed messages in attracting attention and influencing purchase intention among younger and older adults remains unclear. We tracked the eye movements of 92 younger (18-39 years) and 83 older adults (60-82 years) while they viewed 32 advertisements and reported their purchase intentions for each advertised product. The results showed that loss-framed (vs. gain-framed) product descriptions were associated with more attention but lower purchase intention intensity (i.e. intention magnitude), and the strength of these associations did not differ significantly between age groups. Loss-framed (vs. gain-framed) product descriptions and enhanced attention were associated with greater purchase intention consistency (i.e. lower variance in purchase intention intensity), with the effect being stronger among older than younger adults. The overall findings support the attention-allocation model, which asserts that losses (or related information) can enhance on-task attention and decision consistency. However, the findings also reveal age-related differences suggesting that older adults, compared with younger adults, may be more influenced by loss messages in terms of purchase intention consistency but not attentional preference or purchase intention intensity in the advertising context.

Embracing New Love: Why Customers Are Loyal to Plant Extract-Based Skin-Care Cosmetics.
J Cosmet Dermatol
January 2025
Department of Bio-Industry Communication and Development, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background: In recent years, increases in consumer awareness regarding health and the environment have enhanced their willingness to purchase plant extract-based skin-care products. Although the skin-care product industry has paid increasing attention to consumer behavior in recent years, few studies have investigated customer loyalty to this type of product; in-depth research is urgently required to fill this gap.
Aims: This study investigated Taiwanese skin-care products derived from plant extracts by identifying the relationships between consumer prior experience, involvement, perceived value, and loyalty.
Old growth feminism: Interspecies & intergenerational intimacies on lesbian land.
J Lesbian Stud
January 2025
University of California Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA, USA.
In 1974, women inspired by the back-to-the-land commune movement and women's liberation politics began forming lesbian intentional communities in rural Oregon. Living outside the mainstream allowed them to relinquish gender norms and experience their bodies differently in nature-their lesbian identity was not just a sexual orientation, it was gender non-conforming engaged ecofeminist praxis. The different lands they purchased fifty years ago are situated in the middle of logging country-huge swaths of land around them have been clear-cut over the years, while the lands they continue to care for today serve as conservation sites for old growth forests and all of their more-than-human inhabitants.

Live streaming e-commerce (LSE) has gained tremendous popularity as an innovative social commerce platform that integrates real-time interactions among customers, streamers, and operators to promote product sales. However, there is still much to be discovered about the factors that determine the success of LSE. The objective of this study is to examine the effects of diverse interactive elements, namely consumer-streamer, consumer-platform, and consumer-consumer interactions, on consumers' purchase intention from the perspectives of social presence and trust using the SOR theory.
