“…Considering next the construct of subjective norms, a low relevance may indicate little influence of others for the eating behavior in the canteen. This, however, stands against numerous studies which find that social modeling is an important aspect of eating behavior when seated with others [68][69][70][71]. One explanation for the low relevance of subjective norms in our model may be derived from the results of the study of Hermans et al [70].…”

Abstract:Since the majority of food waste in high-income countries occurs at the consumption stage and given the clear trend towards out-of-home food consumption, it is important to understand the factors that lead to food waste in the hospitality sector. The present study uses a behavioral structural equation model to test the drivers of consumers' leftover behavior in an out-of-home setting. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, we additionally consider "personal norms" and the situational "taste perception" of food as determinants. Our results in a company canteen demonstrate that personal norms and attitudes greatly determine consumers' intention to prevent leftovers, whereas subjective norms and perceived behavioral control appear less relevant. Stated leftover behavior depends on both behavioral intention and the situational taste perception of food. We show that in order to understand individual food leftover behavior in an out-of-home setting, determinants from behavioral theories should be complemented by situational variables.

“…The literature suggests that the perception of the conversation partner is important (Andsager et al, 2006;Griskevicius et al, 2008;Pornpitakp, 2004). Our results showed that chatting with a partner who was perceived to be similar increased sense-making which is in line with the literature (Cruwys et al, 2015;Faraji-rad et al, 2015;Platow et al, 2005;Pornpitakp, 2004). This small to medium-sized positive effect (Hedrick et al, 1993) held for information need, taking notice of information, searching for information, and information sharing.…”

“…Perceived similarity is also associated with attractiveness and a higher level of certainty regarding the opinion of the person (Faraji-rad, Samuelsen, & Warlop, 2015). A review study examining the impact of social modelling showed that perceived similarity between model figures and individuals is important for consumption and purchasing behaviour (Cruwys, Bevelander, & Hermans, 2015). Peer feedback has also been found to be influential in the context of social media (Verroen, Gutteling, & De Vries, 2013).…”

“…Other factors including peer acceptance and seeking social identity have greater influence resulting in less healthy food choices and sedentary lifestyle [8,9,11,39]. Another area of influence is advertising (TV, magazines, billboards, groceries) and it is evident as reported in this study that youth are influenced by advertising methods especially "images", such as the use of characters on packaging, the television food advertisements, the advertisements done by the popular local and international artists [8,10,36,39,40]. One young boy stated "I will do whatever Justin Bieper will tell me to do".…”
