“…In other words, healthy housing should be able to make the occupants live in a physically, mentally and socially good condition completely. However, in developing countries such as China, the public's requirements for the scale of housing space have just been met, and citizens are currently in the initial stage of improving their quality of living ( 5 ). In fact, most of the people live in ordinary housing, which does not provide such facilities as fresh air systems or constant temperature and humidity systems that are equipped with healthy housing ( 6 ).…”

Healthy housing can set its occupants completely in good physical, mental and social conditions, but there is a lack of research in China on the public's willingness to pay (WTP) for healthy housing. From the perspective of cognitive psychology, this study constructs an analytical framework based on the model of “theory of planned behavior” (TPB), the theory of selective information exposure, and the model of “emotions as social information,” while exploring the effect mechanism of the online reviews on the public's WTP for healthy housing during COVID-19 pandemic. In combination with eye-tracking experiments and subjective reports, physiological, psychological and behavioral multimodal data on WTP of 65 participants for healthy housing are collected. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is adopted to analyze the formation effect mechanism of the public's WTP for healthy housing. This study acquires the following results: (i) Information attentiveness to online reviews on different valence information of healthy housing as obtained in eye tracking experiments delivers significant effect on attitude, subjective norm (SN) and perceived behavioral control (PBC), but has no direct effect on the public's WTP for healthy housing; (ii) Hypotheses from TPB model are verified. attitude, PBC and SN can all make significant effect on WTP for healthy housing, with attitude showcasing the most prominent effect; and (iii) In terms of the mediating effect, information attentiveness can deliver significant indirect effect on WTP through attitude.

“…The public's mistrust, prejudice, and rejection of recycled water have become the major roadblocks to the promotion of recycled water. Given the importance of public participation in the implementation of new technologies or policies (Guo et al, 2021), enhancing the public's willingness to use recycled water has become a pressing issue to be addressed.…”

The unwillingness of college students to use recycled water has become a key barrier to sewage recycling on campus, and it is critical to strengthen their inclination to do so. This paper used college students in Xi’an as a case study and adopted event-related potential technology to explore the effect of social norms on the willingness to use recycled water and the neural mechanism of cognitive processing. The results suggested the following: (1) The existence of social norms might influence college students’ willingness to use recycled water. (2) When individuals’ willingness to use recycled water is lower than the social norm, there is a bigger feedback-related negative amplitude. (3) College students pay more attention to social norms in groups with closer social distance. These findings can be used to provide a scientific basis for persuading the public to use recycled water from the perspective of the social norm to drive public acceptability.

“…However, China’s rental population is only 11.6%, much lower than that of developed countries ( China Industry Information Network, 2018 ), which is in stark contrast to the recent decline in home ownership in the West ( Clark, 2019 ). As a result, there has been a serious imbalance between the housing sales market and housing rental market, highlighted by the fact that “the rental market has one short leg and the sales market has one long leg.” For a long time, China’s housing rental market and sales market is not balanced, which has led to persistently high housing prices in China’s large and medium-sized cities ( Guo et al, 2021 ), the normal consumption of young people is overcrowded by housing ( Waxman et al, 2020 ), and the high investment in fixed assets of the real estate industry makes the development of other industries of the national economy insufficient ( Wang et al, 2022 ).…”

The ideas of face consciousness, group conformity, extended family concept, and crisis consciousness in Confucian culture have a subtle and far-reaching impact on housing consumption decision among the Chinese public, forming a housing consumption model of “preferring to own a house rather than rent one.” The poor interaction between the housing rental market and the sales market caused by the shortage of rental demand and irrational purchasing behaviors has led to soaring house prices and imbalance between supply and demand that prevail in major cities in China. To gain a deeper understanding of public cognitive attitude toward decisions on owning and renting a house, this study divided the subjects into high and low impact groups based on the overall Confucian culture and four subdimensions. It attempts to take a cognitive neuroscience approach for assessing public stereotypes of housing consumption decision with different types based on the analysis of event-related potentials (ERPs). The results are as follows. First, overall, there is an obvious implicit stereotype of renting a house and explicit stereotype of owning a house among the public. Second, ERPs data show that descriptions of renting a house with positive adjectives could evoke more significant N400 responses. In other words, in the heuristic system, the public perceive that renting a house is restrictive, stressful, unhappy, and crisis. Data from subjective reports show that, after processing information in the analytic system, the public tend to think that owning a house is self-contained, restful, warm, and comfortable. Third, a more negative stereotype of renting a house exists in the high Confucian culture influence group (HIC) Group than in the low Confucian culture influence group (LIC) Group, and is more inclined to own a home. Fourth, under the Confucian culture sub-dimension, there are differences in housing consumption stereotypes between high and low groups in terms of extended family concept, group conformity, and crisis consciousness. Fifth, the moderating effect analysis found that perceived usefulness, trust in the rental market, and policy perception can be important factors in guiding public housing consumption stereotypes.
