Gendered associations of situational and dispositional factors with exclusion from social relations and loneliness in older age by Georgios Pavlidis, Georgios Pavlidis

“…., personality traits) with ESR states and loneliness in older age.MethodsA cross-sectional and gender-stratified secondary analysis of a sample (N = 36,814) from the Survey on Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe was conducted using logistic regression models.ResultsThe probability of ESR was higher among older men. Certain situational factors (e.g., widowed, never married) significantly increased the probabilities of ESR for both genders, while other (e.g., divorce) had a gender-specific significance. …”

Evolutionary Game Analysis of Online Shopping Quality Control: The Roles of Risk Attitude and Government Supervision by Decheng Wen, Dongwei Yan, Xiaojing Sun, Xiao Chen

“…The current research finds that (1) the decrease of the quality control cost and the increase of the government’s benchmark fine are conducive to increasing the platform’s controlling probability; (2) the decrease of the proportion of rent and the increase of sellers’ fraud cost and the government’s benchmark fines are conducive to increasing the seller’s compliance probability; (3) when both the platform and seller are unwilling to make efforts for quality assurance, risk-seeking members make the seller gradually choose to provide compliant products; and (4) when the members are all risk-seeking, strengthening government supervision will help promote the transition of members’ behavioural choices in a benign direction. …”
