This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, but it is far from the healthiest. Although life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, Americans live shorter lives and experience more injuries and illnesses than people in other high-income countries. The U.S. health disadvantage cannot be attributed solely to the adverse health status of racial or ethnic minorities or poor people: even highly advantaged Americans are in worse health than their counterparts in other, "peer" countries. In light of the new and growing evidence about the U.S. health disadvantage, the National Institutes of Health asked the National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a panel of experts to study the issue. The Panel on Understanding Cross-National Health Differences Among High-Income Countries examined whether the U.S. health disadvantage exists across the life span, considered potential explanations, and assessed the larger implications of the findings. U.S. Health in International Perspective presents detailed evidence on the issue, explores the possible explanations for the shorter and less healthy lives of Americans than those of people in comparable countries, and recommends actions by both government and nongovernment agencies and organizations to address the U.S. health disadvantage.

Book Synopsis Surveying Climate-Relevant Behavior by : Markus Hadler
Download or read book Surveying Climate-Relevant Behavior written by Markus Hadler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book discusses the contribution of sociology and survey research to climate research. The authors address the questions of which behaviors are of climate relevance, who is engaging in these behaviors, in which contexts do these behaviors occur, and which individual perceptions and values are related to them. Utilizing survey research, the book focuses on the measurement of climate-relevant behaviors with population surveys and develops an instrument that allows a valid estimate of an individual’s GHG emissions with a few core items. While the development of these instruments was based on surveys and qualitative interviews conducted in Austria, the instruments were subsequently tested in a set of 31 European countries, revealing the international relevance of such research. The book also concludes with a brief consideration of the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on environmental attitudes, situating the project globally.

Book Synopsis Pollution Environment How Influences Consumer Behaviors by : Johnny Ch Lok
Download or read book Pollution Environment How Influences Consumer Behaviors written by Johnny Ch Lok and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter1Demand and supply theory explainsthe relationship between pollution and death disease and consumer behavior and economic recessionNowadays, any countries will have death diseases occur, when the country is encountering any kinds of death diseases, then the country will have possible to bring many people die. What are the negative influences or impacts to influence the country's consumer behaviors when the country is encountering any kinds of death disease ? Why does death disease bring economic recession to the country when the country can not control the death disease to cause many people to die, when they are free to go to anywhere and the owning death disease people can contract any people, they have no death disease easily.What is the negative consumer behavior when the country has many people, they are owning death disease? Why can death disease bring economic recession to the country when it has many people are owning death disease risk?The economic problem - sometimes called the basic or central economic problem - asserts that an economy's finite resources are insufficient to satisfy all human wants and needs. Economics involves the study of how to allocate resources in conditions of scarcity However, viewing economics as the study of how society allocates resources can lead to conflation of normative economic planning and empirical study of how economic agents operate in these conditions.Such as one country has many people are owning death disease, there are many people feel unsafe, they will not dislike to go to any where because they are fear to be contracted from the owning death disease people, but they do not know whom are owning death disease. So, the restaurants, cinemas, shopping centers, libraries transportation tools etc. any public shopping or leisure places will have less people. When the country believe that any one will be contracted to get death disease easily and the government send this death disease message to let itself country to know that they will have death disease risk when they go to anywhere to contract any people, any the kind of death disease can pass air or mouth or hand contact method to cause the health people to get the kind of death disease from the owning death disease people. Then, many health people won't choose to go to anywhere to consume or play leisure easily because they are fear to get death disease from any death disease people in streets or public shopping centers or public libraries, book shops or cinemas or restaurants. So, it seems that death disease can influence consumers' purchase desires to decrease because they reduce time to go to any public places, e.g. shopping centers, entertainment places, streets, libraries, restaurants etc. places. So, restaurants will reduce eatting people number, cinemas will reduce audiences number, buses, taxi, ferry, trains, trams etc. public transportation tools will reduces passengers number. It seems that when the country is encountering death disease will influence consumers shopping desires to be poor because they dislike to go to anywhere easily.So in supply and demand view, when the country is encountering serious death disease attacks, there are many shopping centers will lose customers, restaurants and cinemas, etc. business shops will reduce many passengers or eatting people or purchasers number suddenly in short time, e.g. one to three month, even in long time, e.g. above year. When the country is encountering death disease, many consumers' purchase desires will reduce ( demand of purchase desires will decrease), due to they are reducing time to visit any shops, go to cinemas, go to food shops, catch any public transportation tools to go to anywhere, because they are fear to contact the owning death disease people to get their death diseases by air, mouth or hand contract any time easily.

This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 3.8, Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, course: MA in Project Management, language: English, abstract: The growing social and regulatory concerns for the environment lead an increasing number of companies to consider green issues as a major source of strategic change. In particular, this trend has major and complex implications on the technological strategy of a company and on its product innovations. Even though it is increased eco-awareness of Malaysian customers during the past few decades, there are some barriers to the diffusions of more ecologically oriented consumption and production styles. Therefore, companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of green marketing concepts. The purpose of study was to investigate the consumer attitudes and perceptions towards eco- friendly products in FMCG sector and their willingness to pay on green products. This study was based on both primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected from the sample survey that was conducted in the three districts in western province such as Cyberjaya, Kuala Lumpur, and Petaling Jaya. 160 respondents were selected for the survey and respondents were asked to answer the prepared questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to obtain the consumers attitudes and perception regarding eco-friendly FMCG products under four value added areas such as product designing, packaging, place and promotion that lead towards the motivation of consumption. The secondary data were collected from relevant journals, books and other published data. The study revealed that the green products have substantial awareness among Malaysian customers and they are willing to pay something more on green products. The majority of customers considered that package is most important element of such products. The researchers have recommended some marketing strategies to meet changing mind set of customers towards the green products.

Book Synopsis Environment, Information and Consumer Behaviour by : Signe Krarup
Download or read book Environment, Information and Consumer Behaviour written by Signe Krarup and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade there has been growing interest in the role of information in the promotion of environmentally friendly behaviour. This book examines how and why the provision of such information can affect individual decisions concerning buying or consuming a product or valuing a policy. The information can take the form of a product label or a statement in a survey questionnaire, and the decision can be what product to buy, what food to eat or how to answer a contingent valuation question. The chapters in this volume carefully explore the explanations for consumer behaviour in different scenarios where information is provided about the 'public' implications of individual decisions. The first set of chapters examines the prospects for eco-labelling as a tool of environmental policy from a variety of different perspectives. They also look at how this form of information provision compares with more familiar policy instruments in achieving efficiency goals. In the second and third sections the focus is on environmental and food labelling, in which a combination of private and public motives for purchase decisions is found. Finally, the role of information in contingent valuation surveys is considered, in particular the impact of information and time in altering stated value responses.
Book Synopsis Cultural and Social Influences on Consumer Behavior by : Xuehua Wang
Download or read book Cultural and Social Influences on Consumer Behavior written by Xuehua Wang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how cultural and social influences affect consumer decision making with a focus on uncertainty avoidance, rituals, and external threats. Indeed, uncertainty avoidance can exert significant influence on consumer behavior. For example, consumers in a culture with high uncertainty avoidance may show less positive attitudes towards new products than those in a culture with low uncertainty avoidance. Prior cultural research has mainly focused on how individualism/collectivism or power distance belief influences consumer attitudes and behaviors at an individual level, while seldom does research investigate the effect of uncertainty avoidance on consumption. This book examines how uncertainty avoidance affects superstitious consumption as well as its underlying mechanism and boundary condition. Rituals, as a component of culture, can affect consumer behaviors. However, few studies have shedded light on how repeating rituals can affect consumers’ willingness to use the products involved in the ritual. Consumer behavior is complex. Consumers are surrounded with various external threats such as health, economic, and informational threats, while prior research has primarily focused on health threats. Beyond this, inter-client conflicts, as a special type of social threat, can also affect consumption experience. In all, this book aims to examine how uncertainty avoidance, rituals and external threats influence consumer attitudes and behaviors. In this book, new research models would be developed. This book enriches our understanding on how cultural and social influences affect consumer decision making and provides insights for both researchers and practitioners in marketing.
Book Synopsis What determines green purchase behavior? by : Zhongju Liao
Download or read book What determines green purchase behavior? written by Zhongju Liao and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Green purchase behavior refers to consumers purchasing green products that are environmentally friendly, using fewer resources, and causing lower environmental impact and risk. As a growing number of people start to recognize the importance of individual responsibility for environmental protection, firms are increasingly motivated to develop green products to fit the needs of this green advocation. Despite an emerging number of consumers claiming their preference towards green brands compared to traditional alternatives, researchers have found that there is a huge gap between consumers’ purchase intention and actual behavior, which has gained much attention. The psychological process of green purchase behavior may be a complicated process influenced by various factors, such as consumer values and norms, the pros and cons marketed for green products, and various other situational factors. Scholars are calling for research that explores the psychological decision-making process of green purchase behavior from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Due to the high pricing of green products, the trade-off between the price and function of green products may lower consumers’ satisfaction. Thus, there is always a gap between green purchase intention and actual purchase behavior. What determines consumers’ actual green purchase behavior? Under what conditions, will the consumers pay a premium price for green products? What prompts consumers to choose green brands over traditional alternatives? Will green consumption be a passing trend or a long-term consumption habit? What influences the frequency of consumers’ green purchasing? Scholars are welcome to share their opinions and findings about green purchase behavior to help explore this research topic. We are extremely interested in the determinants of green purchase behavior and the mechanism of facilitating green consumption considering different perspectives.
