Abstract

E-commerce has generated a lot of interest across the globe where individuals sit in the comfort of their homes and purchase goods and services. However, study linking youths in many developing countries to the new trend seem to be affected by skepticism. Therefore, this study examines perceived trustworthiness and perceived risk-taking as predictors of online shopping behavior among youths in Ibadan metropolis. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while data were collected from 200 randomly selected participants. Data were collected using validated scales and analyzed using zero-order correlation, t-test for independent samples, and multiple regression analysis to test three hypotheses at a p < 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed that perceived trustworthiness and perceived risk-taking significantly correlated with online shopping behavior among study participants. Also, the results revealed that perceived trustworthiness and perceived risk-taking jointly predicted online shopping behavior. Finally, both perceived trustworthiness and perceived risk-taking independently predicted online shopping behavior among study participants. The study concluded that perceived trustworthiness and perceived risk-taking are excellent predictors of online shopping behavior among those who took part in the study. It is advised that web designers and internet marketers create online shopping platforms that foster confidence and discourage risk-taking in order to attract and retain more online customers.

Abstract

Various stakeholders, including the government, have often neglected the educational needs of physically challenged in-school adolescents in Nigeria. Empirical studies examining the relationship between academic impairment, social support, and resilient behavior in this population remain scarce, particularly within the Nigerian context. Therefore, this study investigated academic impairment and social support as predictors of resilient behavior among physically challenged in-school adolescents in Lagos and Ekiti States in South-West Nigeria. A cross-sectional research design was employed, and purposive sampling was used to select the two states. Data were collected from 374 physically challenged in-school adolescents using validated measurement scales. The data were analyzed using multiple regression and independent samples t-tests to test four hypotheses at a significance level of p < 0.01. The results showed that both academic impairment and support from significant others independently predicted resilient behavior. Furthermore, academic impairment and social support jointly predicted resilience. The findings highlight the crucial role of significant others as a source of social support. The study underscores the need for the government and stakeholders to enhance infrastructure in special schools to improve learning experiences. This research is novel as it is the first to examine these variables across two Nigerian states.
