“…The narrow span of participants’ ages (two years) was purposed to focus on the relatively same level of Gen-Z consumers who were active in various activities (academic and social) and is up to date with trends including popular beverages. The sample size is considered sufficient to meet the research objective and for qualitative research in general and large enough to provide worthwhile evidence about behavioral patterns (Damico et al , 2020).…”

“…In other words, consumers will deal with positive or negative evaluations toward attributes that will drive their intention or motivation to buy (Schiffman and Wisenblit, 2015). This background has encouraged many scholars to investigate the typical attributes that motivate consumers to consume certain products (Damico et al , 2020; Neale et al , 2015). Motivation is defined as a driving force that impels an individual to act (Schiffman and Wisenblit, 2015).…”

Purpose Bubble tea has become a popular beverage among the Gen-Z population in recent years, not only in Asia where this beverage originated, but also worldwide. This research aims to understand the motivational factors of Gen-Z consumers in Indonesia in purchasing bubble tea products. Design/methodology/approach This research adopts a qualitative methodology by interviewing 22 Gen-Z consumers living in Indonesia. A thematic-analysis approach and NVivo software are applied for the data analysis. Findings Eight factors, i.e. taste, texture, packaging, store, price, health, trend and brand, play important roles in explaining how the emotional dimensions (pleasure, arousal and dominance) created by the environmental stimuli of bubble tea were approached or avoided within the purchasing behaviors of Gen-Z consumers. This study also identified affiliation behaviors as the result of interactions between the three dimensions. Research limitations/implications As a qualitative study, this research used a particular and limited context to gain insights. Hence, a broader scale of research using a quantitative approach is recommended to validate the factors influencing purchasing behavior among the Gen-Z population. Practical implications This study can help practitioners to gain a better understanding of Gen-Z consumers’ behaviors on beverage products and to formulate effective marketing strategies. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, by adopting a qualitative approach, this study is among the first to explore more deeply the emotional dimensions that drive Gen-Z’s decisions regarding whether to purchase a bubble tea product or not.

“…AAT has been used as a foundation of explanation in many studies, such as investigating bubble tea buying (Istijanto and Handoko, 2021), chicken and pork consumption (Damico et al , 2020), among others. These studies effectually found the positive (approach) and negative (avoidance) attributes that drive or inhibit people in a certain behavior, such as buying or consuming.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore and compare the approach and avoidance factors in motivating students to study using three different learning methods: face-to-face learning, online learning and hybrid learning. Design/methodology/approach This research uses in-depth online interviews to gain insights from students. Purposive sampling was applied to recruit 33 informants from two private universities in Indonesia. The verbatim data were analyzed using a thematic content analysis to identify motivational factors. Findings This study revealed four motivational factors regarding the approach to face-to-face learning/avoidance of online learning and five motivational factors regarding the approach to online learning/avoidance of face-to-face learning. Most of the motivational factors (i.e. learning effectiveness, social interaction, campus life experiences, physical wellness, flexibility and technological learning) are also found in the approach to hybrid learning. Research limitations/implications The existing qualitative research suffers from generalizability, as does this study. Future research can investigate other contexts or use quantitative research to validate the findings. Practical implications By identifying the approach and avoidance motivational factors, higher education institutions can enhance the approach (positive) factors and minimize or eliminate the avoidance (negative) factors that motivate their students to study using different learning methods. Originality/value This research complements the existing literature using new perspectives, namely, the approach and avoidance factors that motivate students to study through face-to-face learning, online learning and hybrid learning post-COVID-19.

“…That there are changes in habits in the adult population is a complicated problem which is exemplified in the dietary habits of people. Introducing edible insects or insect-based foods can be complex for the human paradigm (for ethical, religious, social, cultural, and psychological reasons) [ 13 ]. A first step to reduce the environmental footprint that indirectly generates the consumption of traditional animal-based foods may be to substitute plant-based feeds with insect-based foods.…”

“…These can have the same nutritional characteristics as conventional animal feed, but at the time of their development and production, they will generate a lower impact on the environment. This will also introduce the idea among consumers that insects can be a viable alternative to replace animal-based food [ 13 ].…”

Every day, there is an increase in environmental damage on the planet regarding human action. One of the causes is food production. Edible insects are presented as an option to mitigate the environmental damage generated by the production of conventional food for humans and animals. The objective of this study was to investigate the main nutritional aspects of insects and how they can provide a nutritional and sustainable alternative to the planet. As the main results, the nine orders of insects that are most consumed on the planet are presented: Blattodea, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Isoptera, Lepidoptera, Odonata, and Orthoptera. Their main macro- and micronutrient aspects as well as their bioavailable and bioaccessibility proteins and essential amino acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, and fiber (chitin) are also explored. Additionally, some of the species that are used for animal food processing and the possible risks that insects can present when used as food are discussed. With this, edible insects are established as a real option to mitigate climate change being an important nutritional source for the development of food for humans and animals.
