Influence of altruistic and biospheric values on vegetarians' intentions to repurchase plant-based foods
Purpose The current study employed the value–belief–norm model to examine whether vegetarians' altruistic and biospheric values impact their beliefs about animal welfare and the environment, and whether these beliefs influence personal norms and their intentions to repurchase plant-based (PB) foods. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from October to December 2023; a total of 714 Taiwanese vegetarians participated in the survey. Smart…
Moral Intensity and Ideologies in Forming Moral Reasoning Strategies and Negative Word of Mouth Toward Controversial Social Media Influencers
Effects of nostalgic appeal in advertising on older adults’ food product evaluation
Associations between followers’ perceptions of social media influencer personality traits, perceptions of influencer credibility and intentions to purchase endorsed dietary supplements
Purpose The credibility of social media influencers (SMIs) strongly affects consumer behavioural intentions. Nevertheless, research investigating how SMI personality factors influence followers’ perceptions of SMI credibility and their intentions to purchase SMI-endorsed products is limited. On the basis of halo effect theory, the present study developed a personality–credibility model to investigate the associations between followers’ perception…
Effect of place attachment on consumers' place preference and repatronage intention toward coffee shops
Purpose Because of the slow market growth of and intense competition among coffee shops, increasing brand preference and patronage intention is crucial in the coffee shop industry. Although place attachment theory (PAT) and social identity theory (SIT) stipulate that place attachment and social identity are key constructs of revisit intention, no studies have yet integrated the dimensions of SIT into PAT to predict place preference (PP) and repat…
Effects of presentation of ingredient information with clean labels on older adults’ food product evaluation
Contribution of internet celebrities’ self-disclosure to fan-perceived interpersonal attraction and enduring involvement
Effects of member similarity on group norm conformity, group identity and social participation in the context of social networking sites
Purpose Facilitating members' continual participation in a community is crucial for ensuring the community's long-term survival. However, knowledge regarding whether member similarity is related to member participation and the mechanism underlying this relationship is limited. Drawing on similarity–attraction, social exchange and social identity theories, this study explored the influences of different facets of similarity (i.e. value, personalit…
Can Smartphone-Derived Step Data Predict Laboratory-Induced Real-Life Like Fall-Risk in Community- Dwelling Older Adults
Background: As age progresses, decline in physical function predisposes older adults to high fall-risk, especially on exposure to environmental perturbations such as slips and trips. However, there is limited evidence of association between daily community ambulation, an easily modifiable factor of physical activity (PA), and fall-risk. Smartphones, equipped with accelerometers, can quantify, and display daily ambulation-related PA simplistically…
Sustainable Development
Sustainable development has become a global concern because of problems of environmental pollution, energy consumption and climate change. Sustainable development requires that individuals from all sectors contribute to protecting the environment. Although numerous studies have investigated the relationship between social normative beliefs and environmental behaviour, the results of these studies have varied. Scant attention has been devoted to c…
Beyond Community Violence
Investigating member commitment to virtual communities using an integrated perspective
Purpose Although the number of virtual communities has increased dramatically over the past few years, attracting and maintaining members remains the biggest challenge to establishing virtual social networks. This study seeks to integrate the roles of individual factors (issue involvement), social factors (social interaction), and system factors (system interactivity), and to explore how these factors contribute to member commitment in virtual co…
Traumatic events involving friends and family members in a sample of African American early adolescents
The current study examines violent and nonviolent traumatic events involving friends and family members as predictors of PTSD, depression, internalizing, and externalizing behaviors in a sample of 403 African American early adolescents from chronically violent environments. Although there are many studies of urban children's exposure to community violence, few address the unique contribution of events involving significant others, and almost no r…
Longitudinal Changes in Acculturation for Immigrant Women From the Former Soviet Union
Most research on immigrant acculturation has been conducted with cross-sectional samples, using statistical designs that may not capture different trajectories for the components that contribute to this complex concept. The purpose of this study was to examine change over time in acculturation for 226 women from the former Soviet Union who had lived in the United States fewer than 8 years when recruited. Using self-report data from four annual wa…
Neighborhood immigrant concentration, acculturation, and cultural alienation in former soviet immigrant women
Several acculturation theories note the importance of surrounding context, but few studies describe neighborhood influences on immigrant adaptation. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among neighborhood immigrant concentration, acculturation, and alienation for 151 women aged 44-80 from the former Soviet Union who lived in the US fewer than 13 years. Participants resided in 65 census tracts in the Chicago area with varying con…
Menopausal Transition Symptoms in Midlife Women Living With Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue
We aimed to determine how menopausal transition symptoms cluster across 216 midlife women with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndromes (FMS/CFS), or both and subsequently to compare symptom factor severity scores by menopausal status among these women and compare symptom reporting with prior community-based samples of women without obvious illness. We designed a cross-sectional telephone survey of 216 women aged 35 to 55, diagnosed with FMS/CFS, …
Accessibility of Health Clubs for People with Mobility Disabilities and Visual Impairments
Objective. We sought to examine the accessibility of health clubs to persons with mobility disabilities and visual impairments. Methods. We assessed 35 health clubs and fitness facilities as part of a national field trial of a new instrument, Accessibility Instruments Measuring Fitness and Recreation Environments (AIMFREE), designed to assess accessibility of fitness facilities in the following domains: (1) built environment, (2) equipment, (3) s…
