“…To our understanding, family structure has no significant influence on consumers' fast food purchasing decisions, that is, the influence of family structure has not been explored in this way before. According to [50], family structure has little effect on attitudes.…”

We highlight the role of fast food awareness and the features affecting the intentions of individuals buying it. The fast food industry is developing rapidly, opening new doors for various stakeholders. The objective of the study is to identify the impact of knowledge of fast food on the desire to buy fast food, study its impact on fast food purchasing intentions, and uncover the effect of fast food attitudes on consumers’ purchasing intentions and intention patterns. Several studies discuss the factors prompting fast food purchases, but convincing findings have not been reported. The previous research did not disclose some significant variables influencing consumers’ fast food-related decisions, namely, knowledge and uniqueness-seeking qualities. The existing studies are centered on connections between facts about fast food and unique consumer traits (independent variables), attitudes toward fast food (mediator), and fast food purchasing expectations (dependent variable). The mediator between attitudes toward fast food and fast food purchasing intentions is family structure. In previous studies, the variables and connections were examined from a different perspective. The study’s data were collected through a questionnaire, and 279 consumers frequenting well-known shops in Pakistan were sampled. To provide statistical evidence, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and multigroup moderations were performed. Knowledge of fast food and uniqueness-seeking characteristics were relevant both directly and through mediation when predicting fast food purchasing intentions. The hypothesized direction between attitudes toward fast food and fast food purchases was also significantly moderated by family structure. This study is the first of its kind and helps identify the fast food purchasing behaviors of consumers in developing countries. The shift from joint family systems to a nuclear family model is a particularly important change in the social experience of food.

“…The TPB and the extended TPB incorporating personal norms have effectively been applied in organic food consumption (Aertsens et al, 2009). For example, PBC has been confirmed to directly affect organic food consumption behaviour (Ogorevc et al, 2020). Furthermore, personal norms are confirmed as significant predictors of organic food consumption intention or behaviour (Koklic et al, 2019).…”

Trust and prices are two factors of organic food purchasing intention and behaviour, which have been received more attention. However, the research of the former failed to address the role of trust in stakeholders, and findings of the latter did not make consistent. This study incorporates trust in producers, trust in retailers, and price sensitivity into an extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to examine their effects on consumers' organic food purchasing behaviour (OFP). We conducted an online survey and obtained data from 640 consumers in China to empirically test the model. The results show that the two types of trust play essential roles in OFP, and the impact of trust in retailers is stronger than that of trust in producers. Moreover, price sensitivity is a negative factor of OFP. Furthermore, trust in producers and trust in retailers significantly strengthen the relationships between OFP and its antecedents from the extended TPB model. In addition, price sensitivity acts as a negative moderator on the relationships between perceived behaviour control and OFP, as well as purchase intention and OFP, while the moderating effect of price sensitivity on the relationship between personal norms and OFP has not been established.

“…The leverage realms can be seen as relating to each other within a nested hierarchy (Abson et al 2017;Davelaar 2021;O'Brien 2018). Regarding feedback, we also included social feedback, meaning the initiation of change through feedback loops between individual and collective norms, behaviors and actions in the social sphere (Ogorevc et al 2020). Social feedback, too, can result in reinforcing or dampening social feedback loops.…”

Transformative change in context—stakeholders’ understandings of leverage at the forest–climate nexus

et al. 2022

Transformation acquires its meaning within contexts and particular settings where transformative change is experienced, and where people engage in meaning-making. We used the forest–climate nexus in Sweden as an empirical case study, and the leverage-points perspective as an analytical lens. The aim was to investigate contextual leverage for transformative change, and how our use of context and relations shapes our understanding of transformation and leverage for change. The empirical basis was a whole-day workshop, held in both northern and southern Sweden, for local forest stakeholders. To detract from current conflict and barriers to change, we asked the stakeholders to reflect on transformative change in the past and in the future, and the spatio-temporal relations that form the forest–climate nexus. Our analysis suggests that leverage associated with a transformative change in the future is commonly seen as universal and detached from context, reflecting, for example, national and global discourses on forests and climate change. Regarding transformative changes in the past, however, contextual leverage is linked to the community values and pluralism that drove the change in particular situations. Focusing on the complex spatio-temporal relations and meaning-making helps identify how leverage emerges from context, and how leverage also acquires a richer meaning for people experiencing transformative change.
