Social representations of plant-based meat among Taiwanese consumers and the moderating effect of food neophobia on willingness to try — a mixed-methods approach
Purpose This study applied social representations theory and employed a mixed-methods approach to elucidate Taiwanese consumers’ views regarding plant-based meat (PBM) and potential determinants of their willingness to try PBM. The moderating effect of food neophobia was also analyzed. Design/methodology/approach In the first phase of the study, 48 individuals participated in in-depth focus group interviews. In the second phase, 490 responses to …
Drivers, inhibiting factors and facilitating factors influencing purchase intention of suboptimal foods among Taiwanese consumers
Purpose To elucidate the factors influencing suboptimal food (SF) purchase intention among Taiwanese consumers, this study extended the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model by incorporating driving factors that encourage purchasing of SFs, that is, incorporating food waste awareness and personal norms. The inhibiting moderator of health consciousness and facilitating moderator of price consciousness were also considered. Design/methodology/app…
Consumer food choice motives and willingness to try plant-based meat
Purpose The adverse effects on environmental sustainability, human health and animal welfare are often cited as the main reasons for reducing animal-based meat production and consumption. This study explored the food choice motives that determine consumer attitude toward plant-based meat (PBM) as a sustainable meat alternative. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) was applied to further determine whether an individual’s attitude toward PBM, subje…
Integrating the value–belief–norm model and the theory of planned behavior for explaining consumers’ purchase intention of suboptimal food
Purpose Many studies have demonstrated that consumers tend to reject “suboptimal foods” (SF), despite the foods being suitable for human consumption. This study integrated the value–belief–norm (VBN) model and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to analyze Taiwanese consumers’ purchase intention of SF and the factors that influence it, including values, beliefs, personal norms, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The i…
Integrating the extended theory of planned behavior model and the food-related routines to explain food waste behavior
Purpose This study aimed to explore the determinants of household food waste behavior to mitigate the negative effects of consumption on climate change through a model that extends the theory of planned behavior (TPB) by integrating motivations to reduce food waste – in addition to moral norms – as well as situational factors – in addition to planning and shopping routines – that affect food waste. Design/methodology/approach Online self-report q…
The Effectiveness of a Thanks, Sorry, Love, and Farewell Board Game in Older People in Taiwan
The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the four themes of life ("thanks, sorry, love, and farewell") board game to enhance interpersonal communication, interpersonal relationships, and self-efficacy; and decrease loneliness. The participants were a convenience sample of 91 older people recruited from two community activity centers in Taiwan. Using a quasi-experimental method, participants from one of the community activity…
Effects of Horticultural Activities on Attitudes toward Aging, Sense of Hope and Hand–Eye Coordination in Older Adults in Residential Care Facilities
This study investigated the effects of an 8-week horticultural activity intervention on attitudes toward aging, sense of hope, and hand-eye coordination in 88 older adults in residential care facilities. In the experimental group, the mean score for "attitudes toward aging" increased from 3.81 before the intervention to 4.74 points after the intervention (standard deviation SD = 0.24 and 0.27, respectively), and the control group dropped from 3.7…
Effects of psychological distance perception and psychological factors on pro-environmental behaviors in Taiwan
This study applied construal level theory (CLT) to the perceived psychological distance of climate change to investigate Taiwanese people's psychological distance perception of climate change. It also considered how this psychological distance perception of climate change and other crucial psychological factors (i.e., values, ecological worldviews, and environmental concerns) may influence people's pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs). A national s…
Social representations of climate change and pro-environmental behavior intentions in Taiwan
To explore how people attribute meanings to climate change in Taiwan, this study applied social representations theory (SRT) to develop a self-report semi-structured questionnaire that was used to collect data. To fill a research gap, structural equation modeling (SEM) was adopted to examine the determinants of social representation factors that may affect the public's intentions to engage in pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs). Exploratory factor…
Incorporation of health consciousness into the technology readiness and acceptance model to predict app download and usage intentions
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to extend the technology readiness and acceptance model (TRAM) to consider an individual’s health consciousness (HC), thereby improving the capability of the model to predict an individual’s attitude toward and intention to download and use dietary and fitness apps. Design/methodology/approach A total of 994 participants completed a self-reported online questionnaire. Structural equation modeling and χ 2 diffe…
Effects of perceived autonomy support and basic need satisfaction on quality of life in hemodialysis patients
Extending the theory of planned behavior model to explain people's energy savings and carbon reduction behavioral intentions to mitigate climate change in Taiwan–moral obligation matters
Self-efficacy or collective efficacy within the cognitive theory of stress model
Developing an extended Theory of Planned Behavior model to predict consumers’ intention to visit green hotels
Consumer's trust-in-food-safety typology in Taiwan
Though previous studies have closely examined public perceptions of various types of food hazards as well as trust and risk communication issues, no adequate attention has been directed to understanding an individual's trust-in-food-safety typology in terms of reflexive–non-reflexive and trust–distrust praxes associated with food-related lifestyles regarding the assessment, preparation and actual consumption of food products. The aim of this stud…
Modeling e‐coupon proneness as a mediator in the extended TPB model to predict consumers' usage intentions
Purpose Given the growing importance of e‐coupons as promotional devices, predicting consumers' e‐coupons redemption intention is essential to the evaluation of this promotion strategy. This paper aims to address this issue. An extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) research model which further includes consumers' e‐coupon proneness as a mediator is built in this study to predict consumers' usage intentions of e‐coupons. Design/methodology/app…
The joint moderating effect of health consciousness and healthy lifestyle on consumers’ willingness to use functional foods in Taiwan
Attitude toward organic foods among Taiwanese as related to health consciousness, environmental attitudes, and the mediating effects of a healthy lifestyle
Purpose Instead of using general food choice motives, this study adopts more specific attitudes – i.e. health consciousness and environmental attitudes – to predict the consumer's attitude toward organic foods. The main objective of the paper is to test the hypothesis whether health consciousness and environmental attitudes influence the consumer's attitude toward organic foods through an individual's healthy lifestyle. Design/methodology/approac…
