TL;DR: The most frequently studied antecedents were socio-demographics, information quality, appearance, and perceived reputation of the website.
Abstract: Health websites are important sources of information for consumers. In choosing websites, trust in websites largely determines which website to access and how to best utilize the information. Thus, it is critical to understand why consumers trust certain websites and distrust others. A systematic literature review was conducted with the goal of identifying the antecedents of trust in health information websites. After four rounds of screening process, 20 articles between 2000 and 2013 were harvested. Factors that determine trust are classified into individual difference antecedents, website-related antecedents, and consumer-to-website interaction-related antecedents. The most frequently studied antecedents were socio-demographics, information quality, appearance, and perceived reputation of the website. Each antecedent of trust are discussed in detail and future research directions are proposed.

TL;DR: This paper investigated how comprehenders use structural information during co-reference resolution of the pronouns her, him, and his, and found that subject type did not influence processing of NP pronouns when the context contained a highly salient, structurally available antecedent.

TL;DR: Four experiments addressed the nature of a search through long-term memory for an antecedent and demonstrated that late antecedents are reinstated more quickly than early antecesents, which is in disagreement with predictions from several search models within the Kintsch and van Dijk framework.
Abstract: Kintsch and van Dijk (1978) assumed that when a reader encounters a reference to a concept no longer available in short-term memory, a search through long-term memory for the original concept is necessary. In the present study, four experiments addressed the nature of this search process. In the first two, subjects read passages that contained two possible antecedents: one appearing early in the passages and the other appearing relatively late. Reading time differences demonstrated that late antecedents are reinstated more quickly than early antecedents, which is in disagreement with predictions from several search models within the Kintsch and van Dijk framework. The best account of the reinstatement time differences assumes that text is represented as an integrated network accessed by a backward parallel search. Experiment 3 demonstrated that naming time, as used in the current studies, measures only current activation and is not sensitive to differences in long-term memory strength. Experiment 4 provided further support for the assumptions of a backward parallel-search model by showing that concepts appearing between an antecedent and the end of a passage are often accessed during the search for the antecedent.

TL;DR: The authors explored the understanding of anaphoric verb phrases, verb phrases with ellipsis or a substitute element that must be interpreted through reference to an antecedent, and found that a number of factors affected these reading times.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a meta-analysis on the relationship between market orientation and business performance and found that market orientation is a significant antecedent of organizational performance and is presumed to contribute to the long-term success of a firm.
Abstract: Market orientation has emerged as a significant antecedent of organizational performance and is presumed to contribute to the long-term success of a firm. The growing number of academic studies on market orientation and the mixed findings they have reported complicate the efforts among managers and academics to identify the real antecedents and outcomes of this construct. We have conducted a Brazilian meta-analysis, aggregating a sample size of 4,537 in 27 papers. The findings suggest that the relationship between market orientation and business performance is positive and strong (r = .39). We have also conducted an international mega-analysis, aggregating a sample size of seven meta-analyses on market orientation. The results show that there is a positive, strong and consistent international relationship between market orientation and performance across countries (r = .33).
