The rapid growth of economic transactions generated by live streaming broadcasts ("LSB") has created opportunities for retailers to increase sales. However, little is known about what impact LSB celebrities have on customers and what causes LSB celebrities to become famous. This study aimed to fill this gap by studying the economics of LSBs. This study was conducted through a para-social relationship and attractiveness theory framework. Consequently, social and task attraction were assumed to be the antecedents of the para-social relationship that induced purchase intention. This study examined the impact of relationship rewards, self-disclosure, affective interactivity, informative interactivity, and the amount of information provided on purchase intentions through LSB. Celebrities can use the results of this study to enhance their appeal to fans and promote customers' purchase on e-commerce. This study contributed to the IS field by investigate the impact of para-social relationship on the online shopping context.

Purpose - This study explores the causes behind the high rate of impulse purchases in live streaming e-commerce. Design/methodology/approach - The research model is empirically validated with survey data collected from 324 respondents in China, using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) methodology. Findings - We found that the interactivity and visibility of live streaming are key in creating para-social relationships and perceived presence, leading to customers' impulse purchases. Research implications or Originality - This study deepens the understanding of consumers' impulse purchases in live-streaming e-commerce, revealing that para-social relationships and perceived presence developed through real-time interactions can increase impulse buying. It also highlights the differences between relationship-oriented and task-oriented interactions in fostering customers' perceived presence and para-social relationships in live streaming.

Live-streaming commerce business is growing as the consumption of video content and Smartphone shopping increases. This study examines the following three aspects: whether para-social interaction influences perceived interactivity; whether seller trust affects satisfaction with the experience; whether relationships are controlled by a moderated mediator of self-image congruity. An online survey was conducted with 203 women aged 20-30 years. They were asked to respond to the survey after watching a beauty category live-streaming commerce broadcast. The results revealed that the para-social interaction had a significant effect on perceived interactivity, seller trust and satisfaction with the experience. The findings also indicated that the perceived interactivity and seller trust mediated the relationship between para-social interaction and satisfaction with the experience. Regarding the mediated moderation effect of self-image congruity, it was statistically significant between para-social interaction and perceived interactivity through seller trust. A higher level of consumer's self-image congruity influenced the greater effect of para-social interaction on live commerce experience. This study makes important theoretical contributions to the para-social interaction in mobile commerce industry by emphasizing the mediating role of perceived interactivity and seller trust. This is achieved by examining the moderating effects of self-congruity on satisfaction with the experience. The results also verify the seller's crucial role in live-streaming commerce market which leads to the consumers greater fulfillment.

주식에 대한 사회적 관심이 커지면서 유튜브의 개인방송에서 제공되는 주식 관련 정보를 활용하는 20대 투자자가 늘고 있다. 본 연구에서는 20대 이용자들이 유튜브 개인방송에 등장하는 인플루언서에 대해 인식하는 동일시와 신뢰성이 준사회적 상호작용에 미치는 영향과, 이러한 준사회적 상호작용이 시청 만족도와 지속 시청 의도 그리고 실제 주식 투자에 미치는 영향을 논의하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 20대 남녀를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 각 변인 간 신뢰성과 타당성 검증을 위해 확인적 요인분석 수행 후 경로분석을 실시하여 가설에 대한 검증을 시도하였다. 그 결과 신뢰도와 준사회적 상호작용은 지속 시청 의도에 영향을 미쳤으며, 동일시는 준사회적 상호작용을 매개하였을 때 시청 만족에 더 강한 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 준사회적 상호작용이 실제 투자 의도에 미치는 직접적인 경로는 유의미하지 않았으나, 방송 시청에 따라 투자 의도에 미치는 영향은 지속 시청 의도와 시청 만족에 모두 유의미한 것으로 나타났다.

Luis Humberto Crosthwaite, as a witness to the accelerated changes in Tijuana since the 80's, has built a chronicle of the city based on nostalgia, fantasy, popular language, music, and criticism of the inequality between both sides of the border, but above all, on humour and irony. Among the gallery of characters that populate his stories, the common resident of the border has a special place. Here we are not talking about the passing person or newcomers, but of those who have shaped their social and personal identity from a long every day relationship with the city and the borderline, which makes up what we will call the border-being. In this work, we dialogue with the psychoanalytic concept of border personality or borderline disorder, which refers in a general way to subjects with a deep fracture between the self and the being, which prompts a psychotic search to reconcile this division. In addition, we will engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue to analyse how Crosthwaite characterises the fracture of the border-subjects in some of the stories of the book Instrucciones para cruzar la frontera, to point out the psychosis caused by the sociocultural tensions of life in a border city like Tijuana.

"내가 그의 이름을 불렀을 때 그는 나에게로 와서 꽃이 되었다" 김춘수의 시구보다 개인방송의 본질을 가장 잘 설명하는 말은 찾기 힘들다. 개인방송이 하나의 비즈니스 모델로서 성공할 수 있었던 것은 '나(시청자)'의 이름을 불러 주는 그(방송진행자)'가 있기 때문이다. 이것이, 한번에 수천만원의 디지털캐쉬를 생면부지의 누군가에게 기부하는 현상의 원천이다. 사회학 용어를 빌리자면 준사회적 관계(parasocial relationship)의 힘이라고 할 수 있다. 개인방송의 경쟁력은 결국 방송진행자와 참여자 사이의 이러한 준사회적 관계를 형성, 유지, 강화시키는데 서비스 제공자가 어떻게 기여할 수 있는가의 문제로 귀결된다. 본 고에서는 '왜 시청자들이 방송진행자에게 선물(디지털캐쉬)을 던지는가?'에 초점을 맞춘다. 개인방송의 수익이 전적으로 그것에 의존하기 때문이다. 기본적으로 인류학, 경제학, 사회학에서 논의된 선물이론(gift-giving)과 준사회적 관계(para-social relationship)이론의 틀을 기반으로 개인방송이라는 소셜플랫폼 공간에서 벌어지는 디지털캐쉬 선물의 동기를 분석하고, 비즈니스의 영속성 관점에서 개인방송서비스를 전망해 본다.
