動詞

   • 2000 August 1, Christian Dussart, “Internet: the one-plus-eight ‘re-volutions’”, in European Management Journal, volume 18, number 4, →DOI, pages 386–397:

     Internet business is much more a form of supply marketing than of demand marketing. It is creating new segments, new needs, new attitudes and new behaviors, and customers tend to self-segment themselves to a large extent (e.g. through the way they search on the Web, the information they release on themselves, etc.).

     Similarly Kimes and Wirtz (2003) stated that well designed rate fences that are logic and intuitively understood allow consumers to self-segment based on their willingness-to-pay and enables companies tomore effectively manage the different segments to their particular needs on the value-price continuum

   • 2013 July 4, DongHee Kim, SooCheong Jang, “Price placebo effect in hedonic consumption”, in International Journal of Hospitality Management, volume 35, →DOI, pages 306–315:

     Premium price fences allow consumers to self-segment on the basis of willingness to pay (Kimes and Wirtz, 2003). Thus, the premium price helps to exclude people with insufficient willingness (ability) to pay and also offers an opportunity for consumers who desire to belong to gather.

   • 2015 May 20, Christopher Lovelock, Paul Patterson, Services Marketing, Pearson Australia, →ISBN, page 181:

     Providing different price and value balances allows a broader spectrum of customers to self-segment and enjoy the service. It allows each customer to find the price and benefits (value) balance that best satisfies their needs.

     Online forums therefore provide useful access to people who have self-segmented by a certain type of lifestyle (in this instance health and wellbeing) which researchers can translate into private (one-to-one) online real time interviews (Hamman, 2007).

   • 2023 June 8, Kun Duan, Feng Lan, Yangi Zhao, Yingying Huang, “Housing networks in urban China: A panel VAR model with Bayesian stochastic search”, in Cities, volume 140, →DOI:

     rather than a conventional strategy that only measures the overall level of housing price connection in the whole country/economy and/or that in self-segmented regions, we exploit the micro-level information by studying the city-to-city spillover.

2. (by extension) To place oneself in a particular group, for example when responding to a survey.

   Synonym: self-identify

     The aim of the present study was twofold. First, to empirically test a novel interviewing technique whereby the witness self-segments their memory of an event into their own discrete parameter-bound ‘topic boxes’ at the outset, before engaging in an exhaustive free recall retrieval attempt (followed by interviewer probing) within the parameters of each topic box in turn. […] The WAFA method enables witnesses to impose an individual parameter-bound structure to their recall by self-segmenting the to-be-remembered event at the outset, before then freely recalling everything they can remember, following which they respond to interviewer prompts within each of these segments.

     We encourage methods that promote a platform for all viewpoints, not just polarizing views, to be heard. Researchers self-segmenting into smaller, niche conferences or organizations that only highlight one perspective are a disservice to the field and have the potential to undercut public health.

   • 2023 October 27, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, “Agency Information Collection Activities; Revision of Existing Collection; U.S. Customs Declaration (CBP Form 6059B)”, in Federal Register‎, Document Number 2023-23783, pages 73867-73868:

     CBP continues to find ways to improve the entry process through the use of mobile technology to ensure it is safe and efficient. To that end, CBP has deployed a process which allows travelers to use a mobile app to submit information to CBP prior to arrival in domestic locations and prior to departure at preclearance locations. This process, called Mobile Passport Control (MPC) allows travelers to self-segment upon arrival into the United States or departing a preclearance location.

   • 2022 August 30, Andrea Polonioli, “Zero party data between hype and hope”, in Frontiers in Big Data, volume 5, →DOI:

     Concepts […] normally trigger associations in our minds, and individuals can have dissimilar associations when they are faced with the same concept. When used in surveys, vague concepts may have the effect that different individuals understand the same questions in different ways (Brady, 1985) and result in incomparability (King et al., 2004). Vague questions lead respondents to provide vague answers. For example, asking visitors to self-segment by answering the question as to whether they are seasoned snowboarders might introduce an element of vagueness.

3. (chemistry, engineering) To cause a thing to acquire appropriate size by a planned process.

     As the solution becomes more concentrated, in reality this least solvated block will begin to experience increased self-segment interaction in order to decrease the less preferred polymer–solvent interactions, while minimizing contact with the remaining two blocks.

     Spontaneous separation of species in a droplet may lead to asymmetric structures. Weitz’s group investigated the fabrication of Janus particles by means of thermally induced phase separation and selective adsorption of colloids in droplets in capillary-based co-axial flow focusing devices. Aqueous droplets containing the mixture of polyacrylamide (PAAm, served as the hydrogel) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels (PNIPAm, served as the nanoparticles) were proved to be competent in forming self-segmented morphology.

     The self-partitioning SlipChip is composed of two layers of glass plates. By a simple sliding step, an aqueous solution can be solidly self-segmented into individual droplets by a capillary pressure-driven flow.
