An Indexed Approach for Expectation-Confirmation Theory: A Trust-based model (2024)
Journal Article
AlSokkar, A. A. M., Law, E. L., AlMajali, D. A., Al-Gasawneh, J. A., & Alshinwan, M. (2024). An Indexed Approach for Expectation-Confirmation Theory: A Trust-based model. Electronic Markets, 34(1), Article 12. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12525-024-00694-3

The present study utilised the Expectation-Confirmation Theory (ECT) as a theoretical framework to examine the temporal development of customer trust, satisfaction, and repurchase intent. In subsequent phases of the ECT, the significance of expectati... Read More about An Indexed Approach for Expectation-Confirmation Theory: A Trust-based model.

How Personality and Dispositional Empathy Predict Contact Quality: The Mediating Roles of Contact Self-Efficacy and Effort towards Contact (2024)
Journal Article
Birtel, M. D., Di Bernardo, G., Vezzali, L., Turner, R., Crisp, R., & Martin, R. (in press). How Personality and Dispositional Empathy Predict Contact Quality: The Mediating Roles of Contact Self-Efficacy and Effort towards Contact. International Journal of Intercultural Relations,

While the prejudice-reduction effect of intergroup contact has been extensively demonstrated, research identifying antecedents of positive contact and underlying mechanisms is limited. Two studies, in Italy (N = 239 Italian adolescents) and the UK (N...

Near-Field Positioning and Attitude Sensing Based on Electromagnetic Propagation Modeling (2024)
Journal Article
Chen, A., Zhao, N., You, C., Chen, L., & Chen, Y. (in press). Near-Field Positioning and Attitude Sensing Based on Electromagnetic Propagation Modeling. IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications,

Positioning and sensing over wireless networks are imperative for many emerging applications. However, since traditional wireless channel models oversimplify the user equipment (UE) as a point target, they cannot be used for sensing the attitude of t...
