“…These new findings, which build on previous findings by Maïano et al (2019); Puhl et al (2017a, 2017b); and Yilmaz et al (2015), establish a direct relationship between dysfunctional eating cognitions and depressive symptoms in a similar fashion. The fact that depressive symptoms influence the dimensions of the TPB model is also further extended and verified in the context of the current scenario, in the same way that studies like Zorrilla et al (2019) did. Although the findings are consistent with those of authors such as Bharadwaj and Bezborah (2021) and Setyawan et al (2018) in the contexts of attitude and subjective norms, respectively, it should be noted that they contradict the findings of Arvola et al (2008) by establishing a relationship between perceived behavioural control and purchase intention.…”

Purpose As no prior attempt has been made to investigate the role of weight-related teasing (WRT) as a source of motivation towards impulsive purchase intention of weight loss dietary supplements, this study aims to investigate the factors of devalued self-esteem, weight concerns, dysfunctional eating cognitions, depressive symptoms, attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control from a generation Z perspective. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative study and a cross-sectional survey design has been used along with passive research deception approach where data has been obtained from 377 obese and overweight participants from eight major Indian cities using intercept approach. Besides, verifying the questionnaire using principal component analysis and internal consistency, the provided hypotheses are evaluated by structural equation modelling and its related tests. Inductive content analysis method has also been applied for the qualitative analysis. Findings The findings indicate that the hypothesized factors have a considerable influence on one another, implying acceptance of all 12 proposed hypotheses. Additionally, this study suggests that generation Z individuals are swayed more by price and impulsiveness than by product quality. Even though people prefer purchasing such supplements primarily for quicker results, people fear potential health hazards in the future. Originality/value This study links WRT from a psychosocial perspective by focusing on youth consumer behaviour. With the limited number of works on concerned variables, this study addresses vital issues concerning generation Z individuals’ health attitude.

“…Depression has previously been interlinked with the TPB model, with legitimate conclusions drawn regarding adolescents (Zorrilla et al , 2019). In context to the dimensions of the TPB model, attitude has proven to be the significant dimension of the TPB model that triggers purchase intentions within an individual (Zhang et al , 2019).…”

“…According to the Theory of Planned Behavior [17] , attitudes, norms, and perceptions, like selfreported willingness to use, can be used to predict behaviors like treatment seeking. Existing studies support predictions from the theory of planned behavior [18,19] . Thus, the relationship between attitudes and willingness to engage in self-help interventions could have potential implications for future efforts to increase use and engagement in evidence-based self-help interventions.…”

Objective: There is an ongoing debate about whether digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) can reduce racial and socioeconomic inequities in access to mental health care. One key factor in this debate involves the extent to which racial minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals are willing to use, and pay for, DMHIs. We examined racial and socioeconomic differences in participants’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for DMHIs vs. face-to-face (F2F) therapy. Methods: We conducted a nationally representative survey of Americans (N = 423, women: n = 203, age: M = 45.36, SD = 16.25, Non-Hispanic White: n = 291) via Prolific. After reading descriptions of DMHIs and F2F-therapy, participants rated their willingness-to-try each treatment for 1) free, 2) for a small fee, 3) for a large fee (for F2F-therapy only), 4) as a maximum dollar amount, and 5) as a percentage of their total monthly income. At the end of the study there was a decision task to potentially receive more information on DMHIs and F2F-therapy. Results: Race/ethnicity was associated with willingness to pay higher amounts of one’s income, as a percent or the dollars, and was also associated with information-seeking for DMHIs in the behavioral task. By and large, race-ethnicity was not associated with willingness to try F2F-therapy. Greater educational attainment was associated to willingness to try DMHIs for free, the decision to learn more about DMHIs, and willingness to pay for F2F therapy. Income was inconsistently associated to willingness to try DMHIs and F2F-therapy. Conclusions: DMHIs may reduce inequities by expanding access to mental healthcare for racial-ethnic minority and economically disadvantaged groups, especially if they are available for free or at very low costs.

Mental illness is a prevalent and pressing public health problem among the Asian population, especially among young adults. This study examined the psychosocial predictors of the intention to seek counseling based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the effects of mental health conditions on the relative contributions of the TPB predictors in forming the intention among Asian young adults. The survey results in Singapore (n = 232) and Hong Kong (n = 998) revealed that attitudes, descriptive norms, and self-efficacy significantly predicted the intention to seek counseling in both Asian sites. In addition, the descriptive norms-intention association was stronger among those in a better mental health condition than among those with a worse mental health condition for both samples. The findings extend the literature on the TPB, as well as provide tailored strategies to promote counseling seeking among Asian young adults.
