ABSTRACT
The global COVID-19 outbreak has had a wide-ranging impact on people's lives. This research looks at the recent shift in consumer preferences toward contact-free shopping when purchasing fashion goods. Push-pull-mooring (PPM) theory is used to identify and predict factors that promote or hinder a shift toward contact-free shopping. A survey of young consumers is used to develop and test hypotheses. The findings show that the PPM factors have a significant effect on switching behavior, risk perception, perceived value, and lock-in factors (along with some sub-factors related to each) being significantly related to both intentions to switch to contact-free shopping and actual switching behavior. Theoretical, managerial, and societal implications are discussed in the context of digital wellbeing. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Vaccination continues to be the most effective method for controlling COVID-19 infectious diseases. Nonetheless, SARS-CoV-2 variants continue to evolve and emerge, resulting in significant public concerns worldwide, even after more than 2 years since the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to better understand how different COVID-19 vaccine platforms work, why SARS-CoV-2 variants continue to emerge, and what options for improving COVID-19 vaccines can be considered to fight against SARS-CoV-2 variants and future pandemics. AREA COVERED: Here, we reviewed the innate immune sensors in the recognition of SARS-CoV-2 virus, innate and adaptive immunity including neutralizing antibodies by different COVID-19 vaccines. Efficacy comparison of the several COVID-19 vaccine platforms approved for use in humans, concerns about SARS-CoV-2 variants and breakthrough infections, and the options for developing future COIVD-19 vaccines were also covered. EXPERT OPINION: Owing to the continuous emergence of novel pathogens and the reemergence of variants, safer and more effective new vaccines are needed. This review also aims to provide the knowledge basis for the development of next-generation COVID-19 and pan-coronavirus vaccines to provide cross-protection against new SARS-CoV-2 variants and future coronavirus pandemics.
