Buy good, feel good? The influence of the warm glow of giving on the evaluation of food items with ethical claims in the U.K. and Germany

Socioeconomic Prerequisites For Development Of Organic Food Production In Southern Macroregion

“…The publications are devoted to the attitude of the population to organic food and to their conditions and stages of production. The review of publications confirms the relevance of the study (Iweala, Spiller, & Meyerding, 2019;Petousi, Daskalakis, Fountoulakis, Stentiford, & Manios, 2019;Zahedipour, Asghari, Abdollahi, Alizadeh, & Danesh, 2019;Yin, Hu, Chen, Wang, & Chen, 2019). http://dx.doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2019.12.04.192 Corresponding Author: Valentina Ivashova Selection and peer-review under…”

Warming up Cooling Cooperators

“…Andreoni [10,[19][20] proposed that people are impure altruists who cooperate, not only because they care about a cause, but also because they gain additional personal utility from the act of giving itself: warm-glow. This hypothesis is supported by a large number of lab and eld based studies [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], with warm-glow: (i) increasing proportionally with the amount donated [22,25], (ii) motivating increased effort [33], (iii) being experienced more strongly with property rights (when the person donates money they have earned rather than won) [36], (iv) observed cross-culturally [29], (v) identi ed as an individual rather than a group based experience [37], having a neural basis located in the reward centres of the brain [26] and (vi) sustainable over time with repeat acts of generosity [32].…”

“…These studies show the real power of warm-glow as a proximal mechanism to sustain cooperation beyond the lab. While extensively supported by evidence from lab based studies [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] experimental evidence that warm-glow is effective with respect to real world cooperation is lacking, and these studies ll these gaps. Further, these studies show not only that there is something special about the concept of warm-glow, compared to general positive affect, but also that this has long-term bene ts is terms of sustaining cooperation.…”

Understanding American premium chocolate consumer perception of craft chocolate and desirable product attributes using focus groups and projective mapping

“…Belgian chocolate was highly-preferred in the study, likely due to nationalistic tendencies and Belgium’s history of having invented the filled chocolate bonbon or praline [ 18 , 84 ]. While many studies have investigated consumer preference for cocoa country of origin, this was not addressed by consumers in our study [ 24 , 85 ]. Premium chocolate consumers may be more familiar with traditional countries of chocolate manufacture, such as Belgium and Switzerland, rather than the flavor associated with origin chocolates.…”
