“…The findings of this study reveal several significant outcomes. Firstly, it is observed that information capability exerts a substantial positive influence on green consumption intention, confirming the influence of information capability on green behavior ( Lv and Li, 2023 ).This indicates that consumers’ cognitive ability plays a pivotal role in shaping their inclination toward environmentally conscious consumption. Specifically, consumers with higher cognitive abilities demonstrate enhanced knowledge about green products and possess greater efficiency in interpreting information.…”

“…Notably, cognitive capability has been shown to influence consumers’ willingness to purchase biofortified foods ( Razzaq et al, 2021 ). Moreover, disparities in information accessibility have demonstrated a significant positive influence on farmers’ green behavior ( Lv and Li, 2023 ). Additionally, the act of information sharing by leaders has been observed to affect subordinates’ proactive behavior ( Liu et al, 2022 ).…”

In the context of the digital information era, consumers’ information capability plays a crucial role in shaping their green consumption intention. To delve deeper into the dynamics of how information capability influences consumers’ green consumption intention, this study constructs a theoretical model grounded in information asymmetry theory and cognitive bias theory. Additionally, the mediating role of green trust and the moderating role of media publicity are incorporated to comprehensively investigate the influence mechanism of information capability on consumers’ green consumption intention. Empirical analysis is conducted based on data collected through a questionnaire survey. The findings of this study reveal that information capability exerts a partially mediating effect on consumers’ green consumption intention. Specifically, information capability directly influences consumers’ green consumption intention, and it also indirectly impacts their green consumption intention through its influence on green trust. Furthermore, media publicity positively moderates the relationship between information capability and consumers’ green consumption intention. This research contributes to the existing literature by enhancing our understanding of the influence pathway leading to green consumption intention. Its insights offer valuable implications for promoting green consumption and advancing sustainable development initiatives.

Information sources (ISs) are crucial for enhancing green behaviour among farmers. However, few in-depth studies have been conducted on the differential effects of different ISs. This poses a challenge for the design of efficient information intervention strategies. This study designed an extended theoretical framework of planned behaviour to examine the differential effects of different ISs on farmers’ intentions to adopt organic fertilisers. Survey data from 361 Funing watermelon farmers in China were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The results showed that the utilisation of personal ISs (both formal and informal) had significant positive effects on intentions, whereas impersonal ISs did not play a significant role. Among these, personal informal ISs were the strongest informational determinant. Moreover, psychological factors played a key mediating role between ISs and intentions. Attitude was the strongest direct psychological factor, followed by perceived behavioural control and subjective norms. These findings provide theoretical and practical insights for policymakers to design targeted information interventions to promote the adoption of organic fertilisers by farmers. When relying on formal ISs, the Chinese government should focus on the role of informal ISs.
