“…Contini et al () examined the effects of consumer desires and eating behaviours. They revealed that individual characteristics (beliefs and traits) are important determinants of consumption practices (Kaynak & Ekşi, ). Likewise, researchers signify that individual personal beliefs and assessments are primary drivers of food consumption and addiction (Zlatevska & Spence, ).…”

This study aims to understand the drivers of fast‐food addiction and the role of consumer social responsibility (CSR) on the relationship between fast‐food addiction and anti‐consumption. Due to growing health concerns, an increasing number of consumers have been avoiding the consumption of fast food. Based on a sample of 539 respondents, all pertaining to generation Y in Pakistan, this study tests a model including addiction and anti‐consumption behaviour. Empirical results provide strong evidence that individual and sociocultural factors together with advertising practices influence consumers’ fast‐food addiction. Results also reveal that CSR moderates the relationship between fast‐food addiction and anti‐consumption behaviour. Interestingly, the present study pioneers the discussion on how addiction can drive anti‐consumption. The findings can help public policy makers and managers to understand consumers’ anti‐consumption tendencies and help promote healthier consumption habits.

“…First, personality traits like Openness, Extraversion, Conscientiousness and Agreeableness indicate dispositional characteristics possessed by everyone in responding towards the object [23], for example, in this case, IoT health devices. However, perceived usefulness−a feeling or a tendency to perceive something as  ISSN: 2088-8708 useful−is a form of belief towards the technology [17], which means it is constructed and formed by individuals, often through experience that forms a certain perspective (useful or not) towards an object that will eventually affect individual's attitude and behavior [47].…”

“…From the perspective of traits, to our knowledge, the best conceptualization of personality is the Five-Factor Model of personality [23], also called the "Big Five Model." Goldberg designed it in 1982, which later became the basis of proposing that individual's characteristics can be described regarding their scores on five personality domains including openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness, extraversion and neuroticism [24].…”

As one of the biggest technology breakthrough, Internet of Things (IoT) has been gaining much attention in every industry it’s involved in. Especially in the healthcare sector, IoT health devices have been proved to have a great impact on individual’s health regulation. Through many beneficial features from tracking sleep patterns to tracking chemicals in the blood, individuals will gain a better understanding of their body and how to keep it healthy. However, great benefit is one thing, and it does not immediately equal users’ acceptance. In this study, we seek to find elements that we propose to have an impact in predicting user’s intention of using IoT health device and integrate them into a model. We will analyze user’s technology acceptance from the perspective of Technology Acceptance Model, using Perceived Usefulness as the main predictor for Behavioral Intention. We also integrate Personality Traits and Facilitated Appropriation as factors to determine Perceived Usefulness, and finally using Hofstede’s Cultural Value, we seek to determine the antecedent of Facilitated Appropriation. The research design was correlational predictive, with path analysis technique. Participants of this study were 186 college students from IT campus (75 males, 111 females; mean of age = 20.86 years of old, standard deviation of age = 2.01 years) across Greater Jakarta. The results showed that Perceived Usefulness can predict intention to use the device. However, Personality Traits were found to be irrelevant in predicting perceived usefulness. Only Facilitated Appropriation could predict perceived usefulness. Among cultural values proposed, only the Long-term Orientation can predict user’s tendency to engage in Facilitated Appropriation. Also, we did not find any correlation between age and all technology acceptance factors (Behavioral Intention, Perceived Usefulness, and Facilitated Appropriation).

“…Consumers act directly against firms by boycotting, with the specific aim of protecting the environment because they believe that their behavior might contribute a certain benefit for the environment [42,43]. For example, they refuse to purchase products considered to cause harms to the environment [44,45], deny using products provided by socially irresponsible businesses [46], stop purchasing products from brands that do not respond to protect the environment [47,48], and resist consumers boycott organizations that negatively impact the environment [49]. Hence, for considering a behavior as ecological boycott needs to be driven by environmentally sustainable consciousness motivation.…”

Over the past years, the world has witnessed the growth of ecological boycotts and its impact is increasing leading to the need to better understand this field. Following this movement, Viet Nam, located in Southeast Asia has also swiftly been paying attention to ecological concerns, which have resulted in a variety of ecological boycotts in recent years. While motivations for economic, religious, social, and political boycotts have previously been investigated, the motivations for participation in ecological boycotts have not yet been considered appropriately. This study highlights that a means-end chain (MEC) theory provides an influential method which helps reveal the motives that drive consumers to participate in the ecological boycott in Viet Nam. Processing several in-depth interviews of 60 Vietnamese boycotters and performing MEC analysis, results have shown five major motivations for participation in ecological boycotts, comprising environmentally sustainable consciousness, health consciousness, self-enhancement, meaning in life, and security. The findings are expected to contribute towards both academic aspects (additional understanding related to ecological boycott) and practical aspects (providing valid knowledge for organizers of boycotts and targeted companies to evaluate the ecological boycott and determine factors that can be modified).
