“…Seeing or hearing about any of these (cues to action) can encourage people to take protective measures. These findings are consistent with previous studies (56,57,60). The present study provides evidence of the effectiveness of public health beliefs in performing preventive behaviors (Hypothesis H7).…”

COVID-19 is an unprecedented challenge for public health worldwide. Reducing the incidence of the disease requires protective measures to prevent virus transmission. Understanding those factors influencing preventive behavior is the first step in preventing the spread of the disease. This study investigates factors affecting youth intention and preventive behaviors in the face of COVID-19 through the health belief model by using a cross-sectional survey collected through an online questionnaire. The sample comprises 304 rural youth in South Iran who were selected through a random sampling technique. The results reveal that perceived severity, perceived benefits, public health beliefs, perceived self-efficacy, and the cue to act positively and significantly affect preventive behaviors. The model explains 59% of variance changes in rural youth preventive behaviors during COVID-19. Cue to action is the strongest and self-efficacy was the weakest determinant of youth's preventive behavior. This study confirms that the HBM framework has appropriate predictive power and is an effective tool for investigating preventive behaviors during COVID-19. These results provide important policy implications for the development of policies that aim to avoid the further spread of COVID-19 between young citizens.

“…The sample was obtained utilizing a multistage random sampling technique as it allows researchers to identify various areas dividing them into clusters/groups until the desired sample size is obtained (Yazdanpanah et al, 2021). Hence, by applying the multistage random sampling technique, a variety of markets and shopping malls in the twin cities were identified and visited by the authors multiple times.…”

“…The respondents were randomly selected to answer general questions to gauge their understanding of environmental issues and sustainability concepts. Many authors have previously used this technique to collect data from the representatives of the desired population (Choudhary, 2021; Yazdanpanah et al, 2021). Based on those initial interactions, when the authors were satisfied that respondents knew the sustainable ecological concept, respondents were inquired about their identification and selection of green electronics brands.…”

Grounded in the behavioral reasoning theory, this study aims to determine the impact that green brand awareness (GBA) and perceived green brand credibility (PGBC) have on consumers' choice behavior for green electronics in the context of an emerging country. Furthermore, by focusing on a novel perspective of expected eudaimonic well-being, the mediatory role of expected self-acceptance (ESA) and expected social contribution (ESC) and the moderating role of green altruism were empirically tested. Data were collected surveying 556 consumers from twin cities of

“…Farmers need to constantly adjust their agricultural behaviour to adapt to the severe problems caused by extreme climate change (Chenani et al, 2021;Pakmehr et al, 2020). How risk is perceived and the process of coping with it has been repeatedly shown to influence adaptation decisions (Yazdanpanah et al, 2022;Pakmehr et al, 2020). This study uses farmers' perceived adaptive capacity as a mediator to investigate the impact of social barriers (SB), natural barriers, economic barriers, technological barriers, and institutional barriers on adaptation practises for sustainable agriculture management (AP).…”

“…Juhola and Kruse (2015) and Adger et al (2009) hypothesised that assessing adaptable capacity improves climate change adaptation tactics. To guard against socio-ecological vulnerability, adaptation must be greatly increased (Yazdanpanah et al, 2022). Institutions, education, knowledge, equity, economic growth, social capital, infrastructure, and technology predict adaptive capabilities (Adger et al, 2009;Jones and Boyd, 2011).…”

The purpose of this research is to investigate the mediating role of farmers’ adaptive capacity between adaptation practices and economic, social, natural, technological, and institutional limitations. A survey questionnaire was employed to collect data, which was subsequently analysed using PLS-Structural Equation Modelling Structural equation modelling. The entire population was stratified into 27 Pertubuhan Peladang Kawasan out of which 500 targeted respondents were randomly selected from seven strata for data collection. The findings revealed that only 67% of farmers are aware of adaptation practices, while 33% are uninformed. The study also revealed that economic, social, natural, technological, and institutional barriers affect farmers’ adaptive capacity levels and ultimately hamper their adaptation practices. This result further affirms the influence of farmers’ adaptive capacity level on their adaptation behaviour. Adaptation strategies are essential to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. However, the success of these strategies is contingent upon the farmers’ adaptive capacity level, which is strained by several barriers. The findings contribute to the development of a national adaptation plan in a bid to aid the implementation of the 2011–2020 National Agri-Food Policy (NAP) to increase the competitiveness and production capacity of the entire agri-food industry value chain and ensure food security in Malaysia. This study will help policymakers come up with a good policy framework to get rid of the problems that get in the way of adapting to climate change.
