“…The second example of a food choice motive that may be especially strong in China had to do with the natural content of food and food that is healthy. Consistent with previous research using a variable‐centred approach (Pearcey & Zhan, ; Prescott et al, ), the current study, using a person‐centred approach, found that the natural content motive and health motive were relatively more important than other motives for Chinese in all profiles.…”

“…However, it has been suggested that the issue of representativeness is of less concern when the central goal of a study is to examine the existence of a phenomenon, as in our research, rather than to reveal the prevalence of a phenomenon (Landers & Behrend, ). Still, previous studies have shown that culture, region and demographic variables are important factors influencing consumers’ food choices (Honkanen & Frewer, ; Pearcey & Zhan, ), and these factors might also influence motives for food choices. Hence, the external validity of the current results needs to be further explored in other demographic and cultural groups.…”

Convenience, together with palatability and availability, were main determinants of food choice motivation among college students (Pearcey & Zhan, 2018;Yahia, Achkar, Abdallah, & Rizk, 2008). A further finding in this study was that both females and males indicated preference for energy-dense foods typically high in salt in response to emotions like boredom and loneliness.…”
