“…Studies have shown that consumers purchase organic food as they consider them healthier than conventional ones (Japutra et al, 2021;Lee and Yun, 2015), better in terms of animal welfare (Wee et al, 2014), more supportive of the local economy (Ueasangkomsate et al, 2016), friendlier to the environment (Tandon et al, 2020;Carfora et al, 2019) and of better taste (Hughner et al, 2007). The literature in the field has mainly examined the role of demographic variables such as age, gender (Malissiova et al, 2022;Kirmani et al, 2022;Aertsens et al, 2009;among others) and to a lesser extent the role of willingness to pay (Hemmerling et al, 2015). However, while studies lend insights into the abovementioned factors, there is a knowledge gap pertaining to the consumer's motivation attributes that promote organic food acquisition (Tandon et al, 2020;Shamsi et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThis study explores Greek and Swedish consumers' attitude towards organic food consumption in order to demonstrate possible differences that can be identified based on health and ecological consciousness beliefs rather than demographic factors. The examination of an emerging and a more mature market allow the authors to provide more targeted marketing strategies that possibly increase organic food consumption in both countries.Design/methodology/approachThe authors adopt an econometric approach to the analysis of consumer behavior in relation to organic food consumption in Sweden and Greece. More specifically, the authors examine the motivations and postexperiences of organic food consumers of different socioeconomic profiles in these two countries, one in northern and one in southern Europe. The authors apply an ordered logistic regression analysis model to map out the interaction between consumer attitudes and sociodemographic variables.FindingsThe authors results show that consumers in Sweden more frequently purchase organic foods than consumers in Greece. Environmental protection and ethical values increase the odds for Swedish organic food consumers to buy organic food products. Health consciousness and family well-being are perceived as factors that increase the odds for Greek organic food consumers to buy organic foods. Sociodemographic factors do not play a pivotal role for consumer behavior in relation to organic food in both countries.Originality/valueThis study distinguishes between organic food consumers in two countries with different levels of organic food production and export activity, size of organic market, national organic labeling system and legal definition and standards of organic food. Within these differences, the organic food industry could align its marketing efforts better rather focus on simplistic demographics. The current view unfolds the fact that there are limited studies comparing two European markets at different stages of development and the factors that influence organic food consumer behavior.

The main objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the acknowledgement of the consumer's attitude towards organic products and the selection criteria for sales personnel at the largest bio-fair in Lima, Peru. A quantitative approach, with an applied type, a correlational level, a non-experimental, and a cross-sectional design was used in the research technique. In this context, the population consisted of 78 organic product sales managers. The survey technique was applied, and the author's questionnaires were used as an instrument, yielding good findings in terms of validity, reliability, and confirmatory factor analysis. A multiple correlation matrix with Spearman's rho statistic was constructed and interpreted. The results obtained showed a moderate positive relationship between consumer attitude acknowledgement of organic products is and sales personnel selection criteria (p. = 0.000; r = 0.568), giving validity to the general hypothesis. Similarly, bilateral asymptotic significance values of less than 0.001 allowed the acceptance of the specific hypotheses proposed by the researchers.

“…This is because human eating behaviours are influenced by moods and emotions (Canetti et al, 2002;Mahmoud & Grigoriou, 2022;Michels et al, 2018;Schwartz et al, 2018). Positive emotions that frequently occur like joy and negative emotions like anger increase food consumption (Gökmen & Yılmaz, 2021;Kirmani, 2022;Li et al, 2021;Simone et al, 2021). It is well documented that an individual's mood can alter his food choice (Jaeger et al, 2021;Marty et al, 2021;Shen et al, 2020).…”

INTRODUCTION: Many higher education students indulge in risky eating behaviours which tend to affect their physical, psychological and academic health. Previous studies have tried to understand the trend in students' eating patterns without paying adequate attention to contributing factors. PURPOSE: This study evaluated the influence of selected psychological variables on the consumption of balanced diets among students in two public universities in Calabar Metropolis, Nigeria. METHODOLOGY: A research question was posed, and a formulated hypothesis to guide the study. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. A total of 12,530 faculty of education students spread across two public universities in Calabar Metropolis constituted the population of this study. A sample of 125 students was randomly selected through the stratified technique. A four-point questionnaire was used for data collection after validation by experts. Descriptive statistical measures such as mean, standard deviation, and percentages answered the research question. The null hypothesis was tested at the .05 level of significance using the one-sample t-test analysis. RESULTS: Findings revealed that the influence of psychological variables (such as stress, emotions, and mental state) on students' consumption of balanced diets is not significantly low. RECOMMENDATIONS/CLASSROOM IMPLICATIONS: Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that students cultivate the habit of always eating quality meals rich in nutrients, irrespective of their psychological state, to maintain a healthy life.
