Consumers’ willingness to pay for organic versus all‐natural milk – Does certification make a difference?International Journal of Consumer Studies - Tập 45 Số 5 - Trang 1020-1029 - 2021
Mirzobobo Yormirzoev, Tongzhe Li, Ramona Teuber
AbstractWhile there is ample evidence on consumers’ perceptions and willingness
to pay (WTP) for organic food in developed markets, empirical evidence for
transition economies is scarce. This paper is based on a survey of 608 Russian
consumers that combined a questionnaire with a contingent valuation approach to
investigate the impact of perceptions and trust on consumers’ WTP for certified

Why is a picture ‘worth a thousand words’? Pictures as information in perceived helpfulness of online reviewsInternational Journal of Consumer Studies - Tập 45 Số 3 - Trang 364-378 - 2021
Ruijuan Wu, Heng‐Hui Wu, Cheng Lu Wang
AbstractThe hybrid review format (verbal reviews accompanied by pictures) is
increasingly prevalent in online consumer reviews. However, the mechanism behind
the superiority effect of hybrid reviews is still unclear. Unlike previous
studies based on information processing theory that emphasize the
imagery‐provoking ability of the verbal information, we contend that imagery in
hybrid reviews is the... hiện toàn bộ
Buying behavior, social support and credit card indebtedness of college studentsInternational Journal of Consumer Studies - Tập 33 Số 1 - Trang 2-10 - 2009
Jeff Jianfeng Wang, Jing Jian Xiao
AbstractThis research examines three factors that are associated with college
students' credit card indebtedness. Using survey data, we find that college
students' buying patterns and social networks affect their credit card
indebtedness. Specifically, students with a tendency towards compulsive buying
are more likely and those with greater social support are less likely to hold
credit card debts.... hiện toàn bộ
Consumer credit card ownership and usage practices: empirical evidence from Sri LankaInternational Journal of Consumer Studies - Tập 33 Số 4 - Trang 436-447 - 2009
Vathsala Wickramasinghe, Anurudh Gurugamage
AbstractKnowledge that has been accumulated through research efforts concerning
credit card ownership and usage behaviour has been confined to Western
societies. Given the importance of cross‐national application of consumer
marketing concepts and propositions for academic and practical reasons,
investigations are needed to test whether consumer credit card usage patterns
that are assumed to exist... hiện toàn bộ

Consumer response to product construction: the role of haptic stimulationInternational Journal of Consumer Studies - Tập 38 Số 6 - Trang 586-592 - 2014
S. Sinem Atakan
AbstractThis study investigates how consumers are affected by haptic
information, that is, the information acquired through the sense of touch, when
they take part in the construction or assembly of a product. In order to create
value for consumers, marketers must understand how and why haptic information
affects the evaluative processes of consumers and whether there are specific
segments that ar... hiện toàn bộ

family interviews and registration of the households' electricity consumption,
we evaluate the effects of giving households detailed feedback about their

Household appropriation of electricity monitorsInternational Journal of Consumer Studies - Tập 35 Số 2 - Trang 146-152 - 2011
Grégoire Wallenborn, Marco Orsini, J. Vanhaverbeke
AbstractIn the perspective of smart grids, ‘smart’ electricity metres are
distributed in European households. When households possess an immediate
feedback on their consumption, it is usually stated that they can save between 5
and 15% of their electricity. How households learn to reduce their consumption
is hardly ever addressed. In order to know whether 15% saving is a limit or not,
it is necess... hiện toàn bộ
