Considering the current global trend in the digital economy, Facebook commerce (f-commerce) is an indispensable component of today's digital commerce. The purpose of this research is to test the proposed model to validate current theories that evaluate the relationships between online trust and customer f-commerce usage intentions. It has also been proposed to improve usage intention by integrating the relationship between perceived value and trust in electronic commerce (e-commerce). The data was gathered using a structured questionnaire and analyzed with structural equation modeling (SEM; = 435). In this study, gender has been discussed as a moderating factor. The findings describe the positive relationships that exist between antecedents of trust and user intentions toward f-commerce. Furthermore, according to the findings of the study, females are more concerned than males about developing their intentions to utilize f-commerce for online shopping. Theoretical and practical implications are also presented in this study.

Background And Aim: There is a lack of research on the stress-related transfer from goal-directed behavior to stimulus-response habits in (early stages of) online buying-shopping disorder (BSD). This study investigated the Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT) effect after reward devaluation (PIT-dev) as indicator of habitual behavior and its modulation by acute stress in individuals with risky (online) buying-shopping (r-BSh).
Methods: Individuals with r-BSh (n = 67) and a control group (n = 67) underwent a PIT paradigm with devaluation procedure.
Objectives: In physical reality, mobility limitations often hinder the ability of older individuals to fully interact with the world. Aging increases the likelihood of a decline in social activities. New technologies, including immersion technologies, are increasingly gaining attention as society grapples with the challenges of an aging population.

Home management of the home and family, including household chores, childrearing, caregiving and shopping, can be a burden, especially when the person or a family member is ill or affected by psychological or social issues. We developed a subjective indicator of this burden, the self-report, five-item, five-point Likert scale "Perceived Home Management Hassles Scale". Here, we evaluated the psychometric validity of the scale, using an online questionnaire survey among members of the Japanese Association for Research in Family Nursing.
