food healthiness versus tastiness contrasting their impact on more and less successful healthy shoppers within a virtual food Shopping task
Appetite, 2019Co-Authors: Enrique L P Mergelsberg, Colin Macleod, Barbara Mullan, Daniel Rudaizky, Vanessa Allom, Katrijn Houben, Ottmar V LippAbstract:A virtual Shopping task was employed to illuminate why women who intend to shop healthily are differentially successful in doing so. Female undergraduates (N = 68) performed a modified approach and avoidance task that employed food items differing in healthiness and tastiness, and yielded relative speed to select and reject food items in a stylised supermarket. Participants categorised a food item either in terms of healthiness or tastiness, then pulled (selected) or pushed (rejected) the item using a joystick. Participants showed faster selection of tasty food after categorisation in terms of tastiness, irrespective of the food's healthiness. However, after categorisation in terms of healthiness, only more successful healthy food shoppers showed faster selection of healthy items regardless of tastiness. Less successful healthy food shoppers showed this effect only for tasty food, and displayed faster rejection of food items not considered tasty, regardless of their assessed healthiness. Thus, when participants who reported the greatest gap between their Shopping intention and Shopping Behaviour were judging the healthiness of food items, their speed to select and reject items continued to be influenced by tastiness. This suggests that reducing incidental processing of food tastiness may reduce the intention-Behaviour gap in healthy food Shopping.

the art of grocery Shopping on a food stamp budget factors influencing the food choices of low income women as they try to make ends meet
Public Health Nutrition, 2009Co-Authors: Kristen Wiig, Chery SmithAbstract:Objective Amidst a hunger–obesity paradox, the purpose of the present study was to examine the grocery Shopping Behaviour and food stamp usage of low-income women with children to identify factors influencing their food choices on a limited budget. Design Focus groups, which included questions based on Social Cognitive Theory constructs, examined food choice in the context of personal, Behavioural and environmental factors. A quantitative grocery Shopping activity required participants to prioritize food purchases from a 177-item list on a budget of $US 50 for a one-week period, an amount chosen based on the average household food stamp allotment in 2005. Subjects Ninety-two low-income women, with at least one child aged 9–13 years in their household, residing in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA. Results Participants' mean age was 37 years, and 76% were overweight or obese (BMI≥25·0kg/m 2 ). Key findings suggest that their food choices and grocery Shopping Behaviour were shaped by not only individual and family preferences, but also their economic and environmental situation. Transportation and store accessibility were major determinants of Shopping frequency, and they used various strategies to make their food dollars stretch (e.g. Shopping based on prices, in-store specials). Generally, meat was the most important food group for purchase and consumption, according to both the qualitative and quantitative data. Conclusions Efforts to improve food budgeting skills, increase nutrition knowledge, and develop meal preparation strategies involving less meat and more fruits and vegetables, could be valuable in helping low-income families nutritionally make the best use of their food dollars.

E-retailing ethics and its impact on customer satisfaction and repurchase intention
Internet Research, 2016Co-Authors: Ibrahim Elbeltagi, Gomaa AgagAbstract:Purpose – The theoretical understanding of online Shopping Behaviour has received much attention. Less focus has been given to online retailing ethics. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop and test a comprehensive model of online retailing ethics. Design/methodology/approach – The study used a survey amongst a sample representative of universities across Egypt. In total, 310 questionnaire were collected and analysed using structure equation modelling using WarpPLS. Findings – The results indicate that the consumer perceptions of online retailing ethics (CPORE) as a second-order construct is composed of five constructs (security, privacy, non-deception, fulfilment/reliability, and service recovery) and strongly predictive of online consumer satisfaction. Furthermore, the authors find a significant mediating effect of trust, and commitment on the relationship between CPORE and customer satisfaction. The results also show that individualism had moderate effects on the relationship between CPORE...

E-retailing Ethics in Egypt and Its Effect on Customer Repurchase Intention
2014Co-Authors: Gomaa Agag, Ibrahim ElbeltagiAbstract:The theoretical understanding of online Shopping Behaviour has received much attention. Less focus has been given to the formation of the ethical issues that result from online shopper interactions with e-retailers. The vast majority of earlier research on this area is conceptual in nature and limited in scope by focusing on consumers’ privacy issues. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to propose a theoretical model explaining what factors contribute to online retailing ethics and its effect on customer repurchase intention. The data were analysed using variance-based structural equation modelling, employing partial least squares regression. Findings indicate that the five factors of the online retailing ethics (security, privacy, non- deception, fulfilment/reliability, and corporate social responsibility) are strongly predictive of online consumers’ repurchase intention. The results offer important implications for e-retailers and are likely to stimulate further research in the area of e-ethics from the consumers’ perspective.
