Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Online retailing is omnipresent in consumers’ purchasing decisions. Online retailing is experiencing a strong growth fueled by technology development, convenience, innovation, and advances in secure online payments. External crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic placed pressure on consumers to turn to online retailing. However, despite its advantages, online retailing poses a series of matters for concern: data privacy, the safety of payments, safe online delivery, deception between online product presentation and reality, etc.

This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the innovative potential of online retailing. The papers within it will seek to address the following questions, but others are also welcome:

  • From multi-channel to omnichannel marketing strategy.
  • How do customers relate to online retailing?
  • How is customer trust established in online retailing?
  • What are the determinants of loyalty intentions in online retailing?
  • Sources of information for online retailing.
  • Different formats of online retailing.
  • What are the risks associated with online retailing, and how can they be managed?
  • Data security in online retailing.
  • Online retailing resilience to crises.
  • The use of AR and IA in online retailing.
  • Human–computer interactions in online retailing.
  • Price dynamics in online retailing.
  • Communication strategy for online retailing.
  • Desktop vs. mobile online retailing.
  • Branding in online retailing.
  • Metrics and research in online retailing.
  • Sensorial aspects of online retailing.
  • Integrating metaverse in online retailing.
  • Challenges of selling services online.
  • Fake and deception in online retailing.
  • Development of online marketplaces.

This paper examines the impact of social stratification on trust in recommender systems. Recommender systems have become an essential tool for users to navigate vast amounts of information online, but trust in these systems has become a concern. The focus of this study is to investigate whether social stratification, defined by socioeconomic status, affects trust in recommender systems. We first review the literature on trust in recommender systems and social stratification, highlighting gaps in the current research. We then describe the methodology used in our study, which involves the analysis of valid and consented responses received from 487 participants from different socioeconomic backgrounds, registered in an online survey. This study aimed to investigate the influence of social stratification, specifically income, on trust in recommender systems. Results showed a curvilinear relationship between income and trust in recommender systems, such that moderate income levels were associated with higher levels of trust, while both low- and high-income levels were associated with lower levels of trust. These findings suggest that income plays an important role in shaping users’ trust in recommender systems and highlight the need for future research to examine the complex interplay between social stratification and trust in technology.

The development of social media has triggered important changes in our society and in the way consumers read and trust online information. The presence of consumers in the online environment exposes them to a greater extent to various instances of fake news, which are spread more or less intentionally. Sensational and breaking-news-style information are one of the ways in which consumers’ attention is attracted, by posting exaggerated or distorted information. The objective of our research is to determine the impact of sensational and breaking news headlines on content credibility. In a mediation model, we show that the perception of sensationalism mediates the relation between the presence of breaking news headlines and trust in the content of the information. Based on our proposed model, the existence of breaking news headlines increases the consumers’ perception of sensationalism and reduces trust in news content. These results have important implications for patterns of news consumption. If a piece of information is presented in a sensational way, it might attract more consumers’ attention in the short term, but in the long run it will reduce the credibility of its content. Based on our research, we recommend using sensational headlines with caution to maintain credibility. Full article
