TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a preliminary survey of a group of Malaysian university students to gather initial findings on their use of social networking sites and its influence on their academic performance, and they found that the majority of respondents agreed that social networks have a positive impact on academic performance.
Abstract: Social networking sites (SNSs) have created a new social dimension where individuals can increase their social awareness by keeping in touch with old friends, making new friends, dispensing new data or products and gathering information in other aspects of everyday life. This helps individuals become more knowledgeable, which is very beneficial for students. This research attempts to obtain students’ perceptions on how their use of social networking sites influences their academic performance. We conducted a preliminary survey of a group of Malaysian university student to gather initial findings on their use of social networking sites and its influence on their academic performance. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to analyze the data. This study found that the majority of respondents agreed that social networking sites have a positive impact on their academic performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the interrelationships of trust, brand awareness/associations, perceived quality and brand loyalty in building Internet banking brand equity and found that perceived quality was more important than brand awareness and trust.
Abstract: This research examines the interrelationships of trust, brand awareness/associations, perceived quality and brand loyalty in building Internet banking brand equity The model was based on data from customers using online banking (customers of an international bank) using the PLS technique The results suggest that perceived quality and brand loyalty are more important to explain the Internet banking brand equity than brand awareness/associations and trust Interestingly, trust contributes only indirectly, through perceived quality and brand awareness/association to Internet banking brand equity Online perceived benefits impact positively on customers' trust and online perceived risks tend to be lower when trust increases

TL;DR: A case study is used to illustrate how a carefully devised strategy in sample specification and selection, data processing, screening, and editing can boost the quality of online survey data.
Abstract: Due to the wide availability of the Internet, online surveys have become a mainstream data collection method and offer new-found opportunities in market research. However, there are inherent weaknesses associated with online surveys. A case study is used to illustrate how a carefully devised strategy in sample specification and selection, data processing, screening, and editing can boost the quality of online survey data. Reliability measures are compared between the paper and online versions of a newly developed scale of consumer attitudes toward environmental friendly household cleaners and an established scale on materialism. The results show that with a carefully developed strategy, planning, and execution, online survey data can be equal or superior to that of equivalent paper survey data. This provides important applications and implications to researchers and practitioners who are interested in taking advantage of the new data collection medium.

TL;DR: Yu et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted empirical surveys on two countries based on the theory of consumer innovation resistance and found that both psychological and functional barriers significantly influenced people's resistance to using mobile banking.
Abstract: Given that mobile banking is possibly the first commercial mobile service and a prominent example of slow-diffusing innovation, there is a need to investigate what affects people to use mobile banking from the perspective of resistant innovation. Particularly, compared with existing research predominantly adopting the perspective of innovation to investigate what affects people to adopt mobile banking, this study attempts to rectify the deficiency by conducting empirical surveys on two countries based on the theory of consumer innovation resistance. Through analyzing 1,203 Thai and 658 Taiwanese respondents, this study identified that both psychological and functional barriers significantly influenced people’s resistance to using mobile banking. By breaking the psychological and functional barriers into five barriers, the generated results show that all barriers except for the traditional barrier significantly influenced the respondents’ resistance to using mobile banking. The empirical results also demonstrated that the influence of each of the five barriers is unequal and differs between Thai and Taiwanese respondents. Implication culled from the study are derived to offer valuable clues for academics and practices.
