Sociopsychological determinants of functional foods consumption in China: based on the theory of the planned behavior expansion model by Huimin Jia, Shuang Liu

“…Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed hypotheses. Three main findings were drawn based on the analysis: (1) Health consciousness significantly improved consumers’ attitudes towards functional foods (β = 0.921, p < 0.001); (2) Consumption intention was predominantly predicted by attitude (β = 0.751, p < 0.001), followed by perceived behavioral control (β = 0.148, p < 0.05) and trust (β = 0.115, p < 0.001). (3) Contrary to theoretical expectations, the positive influence of subjective norm (β = 0.222, p > 0.05) on purchase intention is not significant, and the purchase intention did not significantly influence behavior. …”
