In 2023, the disposable income of a household led by a Millennial in the United States was 97,866 U.S. dollars per year. Households led by someone born in Generation X, however, had a disposable income of around 113,886 U.S. dollars in 2023.

On behalf of the Press and Information Office of the Federal Government, the opinion research institute Kantar conducted a target group survey of the ´Generation Z´. For this purpose, 1,022 people between the ages of 14 and 24 were surveyed online between 05 and 18 July 2021. The focus of the survey was on the values and orientation of the generation, their situation in the pandemic, political interest and information behaviour as well as political and social attitudes. In order to map the influence of the corona pandemic on the attitudes and social image of Generation Z, the results of this survey were compared with a survey from 2019. Current life circumstances: life satisfaction; highest school-leaving qualification of father and mother; material situation: frequency of renunciation for financial reasons; source of money (from own work, from parents, from state support, from elsewhere); primary source of money; negative effects of the Corona crisis on personal income; organisation of distance learning (communication via a digital learning platform, via video conference, via e-mail, via messenger/chats such as e.g. WhatsApp, via a cloud, by telephone, by post or by other means); agreement with statements on the situation in schools/colleges (I was able to concentrate well on my tasks at home, I missed direct contact with my classmates/ fellow students, my grades deteriorated during the pandemic, distance learning at my school/college worked well, I had insufficient equipment to follow lessons, the accessibility of teachers was very good even in times of distance learning, learning became more strenuous for me during the pandemic); opinion on the future recognition of school, university or professional degrees made during the Corona pandemic; leisure activities during the pandemic (less sport since the beginning of the pandemic than before, relationships with friends have deteriorated during the pandemic, significantly more time on the internet since the beginning of the pandemic than before, started a new hobby during the pandemic); vaccination status; likelihood of Corona vaccination. 2.

In the past, a generation covered a larger span of time, having more members. However, today, thanks to the developments in technology and many other factors generations change frequently having less members and covering a few years. What matters now is the workforce itself and how these different generations work together. The current workforce has 3 generations working together while waiting for the fourth one. Soon, it is inevitable that 5 or 6 generations will be working at the same workplace. As a result, it is crucial to understand the type of leadership a generation prefers in business and academic life. The aim of this study was to find out how leadership style choice differs among four generations (Baby Boomers, Generations X, Generation Y, and Generation Z) of academics and prospective academics in Turkey. In the study, 265 participants from different generation rated the leadership attributes that contribute or impede effective leadership. The Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) Project research survey by House et al. (2004) was used to find out the leadership style choice of different generations. The statistical relationships were determined between the generation variable and the 16 primary leadership subscales through MANOVAs and ANOVAs. The results of the tests showed that significant differences exist among the four different generations in 3 of the 16 leadership subscales. These subscales are Charismatic 3: Self-sacrifice, Conflict-inducer, and Face saver.

Context

Birds Aren't Real (r/BirdsArentReal), is the official subreddit for the "most woke among us". It is described as "a safe haven for believers to gather, support one another in these times of adversity, and share images and stories that propel the cause forward. The birds work for the bourgeoisie".

A bit of context here: a significant number of members of Generation Z actively propagate (as a joke or seriously) the myth that birds doesn't exist anymore, because were gradually replaced by Government with drones.

The movement took a certain momentum recently, here is a selection of articles documenting this strange phenomena: * Birds Aren’t Real, or Are They? Inside a Gen Z Conspiracy Theory

As of January 2024, Instagram was slightly more popular with men than women, with men accounting for 50.6 percent of the platform’s global users. Additionally, the social media app was most popular amongst younger audiences, with almost 32 percent of users aged between 18 and 24 years.

              Instagram’s Global Audience

              As of January 2024, Instagram was the fourth most popular social media platform globally, reaching two billion monthly active users (MAU). This number is projected to keep growing with no signs of slowing down, which is not a surprise as the global online social penetration rate across all regions is constantly increasing.
              As of January 2024, the country with the largest Instagram audience was India with 362.9 million users, followed by the United States with 169.7 million users.

              Who is winning over the generations?

              Even though Instagram’s audience is almost twice the size of TikTok’s on a global scale, TikTok has shown itself to be a fierce competitor, particularly amongst younger audiences. TikTok was the most downloaded mobile app globally in 2022, generating 672 million downloads. As of 2022, Generation Z in the United States spent more time on TikTok than on Instagram monthly.

IntroductionAnxiety disorders are prevalent mental health conditions characterized by significant impairments in daily functioning and social interactions. Despite the effectiveness of pharmacological treatments, challenges such as medication resistance, adverse side effects, and the high rate of relapse necessitate the exploration of alternative therapies. Recently, electroacupuncture (EA) has garnered attention as a promising non-pharmacological intervention for anxiety disorders; however, the mechanisms by which EA exerts its anxiolytic effects remain poorly understood. This study aims to elucidate the role of microglial cells in anxiety, specifically examining how EA modulates microglial morphology and function within the basolateral amygdala (BLA) in the context of anxiety induced by social isolation.MethodsUtilizing a mouse model of social isolation-induced anxiety, we evaluated anxiety-like behaviors through the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) and Open Field Test (OFT). Additionally, biochemical analyses and immunofluorescence imaging were performed to assess the expression of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), microglial activation markers, and levels of oxidative stress.ResultsOur findings reveal that EA treatment significantly mitigates anxiety-like behaviors in mice, correlating with a reduction in NOX2 expression within BLA microglia and decreased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, EA was observed to restore normal microglial morphology, indicating its potential role in modulating microglial activity.DiscussionThe results of this study suggest that EA exerts its anxiolytic effects through the modulation of oxidative stress and the activity of microglia in the BLA. These findings provide new insights into the cellular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of EA, highlighting the potential for non-pharmacological strategies in the management of anxiety disorders and paving the way for future research aimed at improving clinical outcomes for individuals suffering from anxiety.

The swift growth of e-commerce has markedly changed how consumers shop, especially among Generation Z, which is called Digital Natives. This study examines how product presentation videos on the Shopee video platform influence impulse buying behaviors in this group, focusing on how internal stimuli, including entertainment experience (ET), educational experience (ED), escapist experience (ES), and esthetic experience (EH) influence online impulse buying (OIB) through the mediation of arousal (AR) and pleasure (PL). In addition, demographic factors, including age, gender, and income, are treated as control variables. This research adopts a quantitative methodology, and data was gathered using a Likert scale questionnaire and a non-probability sampling method, while the SmartPLS statistical tool was used to analyze the interactions of these stimuli and their effect on the impulse buying behavior of Generation Z on digital platforms. Research indicates that entertainment and recreational activities boost emotional engagement by eliciting arousal and pleasure. Educational experiences increase knowledge and also stimulate these feelings. Escapist activities provide temporary relief from daily stresses, increasing arousal, but can also highlight personal insecurities, possibly reducing pleasure. Esthetic experiences, subject to personal tastes, provoke emotional reactions that may vary in pleasure. For Generation Z, arousal and pleasure significantly influence impulsive buying decisions. The insights indicate that effectively managing internal factors can trigger emotions leading to impulsive purchases, offering strategic marketing tactics for optimizing e-commerce on platforms like Shopee video. This research advances the understanding of consumer behavior theories in the digital era, emphasizing the intricate roles of arousal and pleasure in online impulse buying.

Beauty and wellness are terms used often in common parlance, however their meaning and relation to each other is unclear. To probe their meaning, we applied network science methods to estimate and compare the semantic networks associated with beauty and wellness in different age generation cohorts (Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers) and in women and men. These mappings were achieved by estimating group-based semantic networks from free association responses to a list of 47 words, either related to Beauty, Wellness, or Beauty + Wellness. Beauty was consistently related to Elegance, Feminine, Gorgeous, Lovely, Sexy, and Stylish. Wellness was consistently related Aerobics, Fitness, Health, Holistic, Lifestyle, Medical, Nutrition, and Thrive. In addition, older cohorts had semantic networks that were less connected and more segregated from each other. Finally, we found that women compared to men had more segregated and organized concepts of Beauty and Wellness. In contemporary societies that are pre-occupied by the pursuit of beauty and a healthy lifestyle, our findings shed novel light on how people think about beauty and wellness and how they are related across different age generations and by sex.

During a 2024 survey, 77 percent of respondents from Nigeria stated that they used social media as a source of news. In comparison, just 23 percent of Japanese respondents said the same. Large portions of social media users around the world admit that they do not trust social platforms either as media sources or as a way to get news, and yet they continue to access such networks on a daily basis.

              Social media: trust and consumption

              Despite the majority of adults surveyed in each country reporting that they used social networks to keep up to date with news and current affairs, a 2018 study showed that social media is the least trusted news source in the world. Less than 35 percent of adults in Europe considered social networks to be trustworthy in this respect, yet more than 50 percent of adults in Portugal, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Croatia said that they got their news on social media.

              What is clear is that we live in an era where social media is such an enormous part of daily life that consumers will still use it in spite of their doubts or reservations. Concerns about fake news and propaganda on social media have not stopped billions of users accessing their favorite networks on a daily basis.
              Most Millennials in the United States use social media for news every day, and younger consumers in European countries are much more likely to use social networks for national political news than their older peers.
              Like it or not, reading news on social is fast becoming the norm for younger generations, and this form of news consumption will likely increase further regardless of whether consumers fully trust their chosen network or not.

Research Hypothesis:

The hypothesis is that service quality and trust significantly influence customer satisfaction with Telkomsel’s Veronika chatbot. Key dimensions include reliability, responsiveness, and empathy in service quality, and trust based on the chatbot's ability, benevolence, and integrity.

Data and Data Collection:

Data for this study were collected from Generation Z users who have experience using Telkomsel’s Veronika chatbot. A structured questionnaire was administered to 240 respondents, 52.9% of whom were female and 47.1% male, with ages ranging from 18 to 22 years. The data collection occurred between May and June 2024, and the questionnaire was distributed via social media platforms such as Instagram, Line, and WhatsApp. Non-probability sampling methods, specifically purposive and quota sampling, were used to ensure that only those familiar with the chatbot were surveyed.

The questionnaire comprised 31 questions designed to assess three key variables: service quality, trust, and customer satisfaction. A five-point Likert scale, ranging from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree," was employed for all questions. Service quality was evaluated using the SERVQUAL model, while trust was measured through dimensions of ability, benevolence, and integrity. Customer satisfaction was assessed using items adapted from the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI).

Key Findings:

1.Service Quality: A significant positive impact on customer satisfaction was found (β = 0.496, p < 0.001), with reliability and responsiveness being key factors. The highest loading (0.837) was on Veronika’s ability to provide alternative solutions.

2.Trust: Trust was also a significant predictor (β = 0.337, p < 0.001), with confidentiality being the most important trust factor (outer loading = 0.835).

3.Customer Satisfaction: Satisfaction was strongly influenced by both service quality and trust, with outer loadings from 0.908 to 0.918, particularly in terms of the chatbot's clarity and communication effectiveness.

Data Interpretation:

Both service quality and trust are essential to customer satisfaction, with service quality being a stronger predictor. Users value reliability and responsiveness more than trust, though both are necessary for high satisfaction. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed with high Cronbach’s alpha values, such as 0.938 for service quality.

Conclusion and Implications:

Improving service quality, especially reliability and responsiveness, will enhance user satisfaction. Strengthening trust, particularly in data security, is also crucial. Future research should explore broader demographics and long-term effects, while qualitative studies could offer more insights into user experiences.
