Impulsive buying in Live Streaming Commerce: The Role of Flow Experience, Parasocial Interaction and Immersion Relationship

S Sipur — 2025-01-06

The paradigm shifts and changes in consumer behavior have evolved alongside technological advancements and the progress of time. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of online media has become widespread, including buying and selling activities. The increasing interest in online shopping has led many shopping centers to go bankrupt, which also impacts local tax revenues. This study aims to analyze the influence of flow experience, parasocial interaction, and immersion on impulsive buying tendencies in e-commerce live streaming. Data were collected from 400 respondents who are active users of live streaming platforms such as Shopee, TikTok, and Instagram in Medan. The study was conducted in 2024. The research employed the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) method and was analyzed using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling). The study consisted of two phases: the Pilot Test and the Main Test. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires. The results show that in the goodness of fit test, two indices met the criteria: CMIN/DF (3.576), CFI (0.915), and SRMR (0.07). However, one index, RMSEA (0.085), did not meet the criteria. The SEM analysis results indicate that the standardized coefficient β > 0 and the p-value ≤ 0.05, showing that the hypothesis is accepted. Thus, there is a relationship between flow experience (p < 0.05), parasocial interaction (p < 0.01), and immersion (p < 0.001) on impulsive buying tendencies. This study also shows that the stronger the consumers' flow experience and parasocial involvement, the more likely they are to make impulsive purchases during live streaming

The existence of Suara Waditra in the Knowledge Sharing Framework

Dian Wardiana Sjuchro — 2025-04-14

Suara Waditra Community Radio is a community radio based in Sukasetia Village, Cisayong District, Tasikmalaya Regency. This radio has a broadcasting permit from the Minister of Communication and Information in 2018. Suara Waditra Community Radio is still continuing to broadcast both to convey information about the village and just for entertainment. The aim of this research is to find out the existence of Suara Waditra Community Radio in the community, especially in context knowledge sharing. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. Research data was collected through interviews and observations. This research shows that Suara Waditra Community Radio faces significant problems related to a lack of human resources. Radio can only broadcast a limited number and quality of programs due to these conditions, often with a focus on entertainment programming rather than educational or awareness programming. The development and success of community radio is also hampered by the lack of community participation in supporting radio operations through funding and active involvement as a broadcasting institution. In addition, this research found that Suara Waditra Community Radio still has loyal listeners, especially among the elderly and those who have not fully used modern technology, despite competition from digital media. The Village Corner program shows how community radio can help empower communities and spread local information that is not reported by mainstream media.

Analysis of Al-Qur'an Memorization Ability based on STIFIn Intuiting and Feeling Test Results on Tahfidz Program Students of MTs Unggulan Nuris Jember

Binti Risalatus Salafiyah — 2025-04-28

Memorizing the Qur'an is a highly valued activity in Islam, but this process is not always easy and can be affected by various factors, both internal and external. The STIFIn test, which is a tool for mapping individual potential based on basic brain functions, was used to identify students' learning styles that can support the memorization process. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, which involves collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation in the field. The data analysis used in the research is interactive analysis, namely through data collection, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results show that students with intuiting intelligence type rely more on semantic memory and imagination to understand the context and translation, they start the memorization process by reading and understanding the translation which serves as a memory booster, while feeling type students emphasize more on a conducive learning atmosphere and meticulous repetition where they prefer to memorize gradually with a focus on deep understanding of each lafaz and its meaning. These findings provide important insights into effective strategies in memorizing the Qur'an, as well as the importance of understanding each student's potential to improve learning effectiveness.
