“…A principal component analysis was applied for this article using the varimax rotation method and Kaiser Normalization. The varimax rotation was exerted because the variance of the squared loadings reaches the maximum value with this rotation and, thus, facilitates the interpretation, as the assignment of statements to the respective factors is simplified [ 34 ]. Despite the variables of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, Likert-scaled items on farmers’ trust and technology readiness with respect to behavioral intention and use of smart products on their farms were included in the factor analysis.…”

In recent years, the fourth industrial revolution has found its way into agriculture. Under the term smart farming, various so-called smart products are offered that may positively influence both the daily work of farmers and animal welfare. These smart products can collect data from the farm, extract important information, and in some cases even make decisions independently. Particularly in Germany, where intensive livestock farming is criticized by society, such smart products could make a significant contribution to improving animal welfare. However, an important prerequisite is the acceptance of the users, who are usually the livestock farmers themselves. So far, there is little knowledge about farmers’ attitudes towards smart products in livestock production. In this study, a factor analysis and a cluster analysis are conducted to evaluate the attitudes of German livestock farmers towards smart products. Based on the analysis of an online questionnaire in which German livestock farmers (n = 422) participated, four clusters could be derived. The main distinguishing characteristics of the clusters are the influence of the social environment, the expected effort for implementation, the general trust in smart products, and the technology readiness of the farms. As a result, this study provides valuable insights for technology providers of smart products for livestock farming as well as for policy makers.

“…Die Wechselwirkung zwischen einer Berufsgruppe und der Gesellschaft ist auch bei der Wirkung von Digital Storytelling beobachtbar. Aus einer soziologischen Perspektive gibt es drei Analyseebenen, die Mikro-, Meso- und Makroebene, mit denen sich die Wechselwirkungen erklären lassen 18 . Wird durch Digital Storytelling ein Input auf der Mikroebene gegeben, besteht die Möglichkeit einer Wahrnehmungsveränderung auch auf den anderen Ebenen.…”

“…In this process, subjects or objects of an area of study are classified by means of grouping processes based on previously defined characteristics ( 14 ). Thus, type-building ( 15 – 17 ) sorts facts according to comparable characteristics (such as e.g., attitudes toward organic food, sports behavior, or the behavior of individuals in group work, etc.) ( 18 ).…”

Determining the Distinguishing Features of Different Eating Action Types in Germany Using a Mixed-Method Approach

2021

Food-related behavior is a very complex topic, as it affects the most diverse areas of life. Accordingly, wide varieties of disciplines have already dealt with the topic to understand it better. The result is that there is neither a uniform nutrition knowledge nor a uniform nutrition behavior. In order to reduce the complexity of a field of study, there is the methodical means of type-building. Both commercial and academic studies have already formed nutrition types, either by means of standardized questionnaires or with a specific content focus. However, since both individual and social aspects influence food-related behavior, we investigate how people integrate eating into their everyday life against the background of (competing) individual and social demands by focusing on the individual point of view, for which a mixed methods approach is used. Based on 42 semi-structured, problem-centered interviews conducted in Germany in 2017, we built qualitative food-related types in a first step, which are analyzed in this article using a quantitative content analysis and cross-over analysis to identify the particular distinguishing feature(s) of each type and test them for significance. The results show the prominent characteristics for each type and indicate furthermore that subjectivization, self-determination, the body as an instrument of power, adaptation to the environment and being overstrained with the own behavior are particularly prominent when it comes to eating. Moreover, we clearly identified The Overstrained and The Relaxed as independent eating action types, which we could not find anywhere else. The study shows that interventions, especially for The Overstrained and The Controlled, are necessary to achieve a relaxed approach to eating in everyday life. At the same time, systematic approaches should be used to intervene in cases of overstraining or controlled behavior.
