“…A potential bias that cannot be totally ignored is that self‐report data do not totally represent an individual's actual behaviour. Questionnaire responses could have been affected by factors such as social desirability or a tendency to avoid choosing extreme responses (Watanabe et al ., ). Moreover, the order of options in all multiple‐choice questions was fixed; thus, the chance of choosing the first and early options increased because of preconception.…”

Helping patients was the main objective of blood donation in China. However, self-perception of poor health was a major barrier to donating blood. Raising the awareness of blood donation in combination with multiple aspects of campaigns that target different populations with potential blood donors is critical. Television and the internet are the most effective tools for promotion of and recruitment for blood donation.

“…To the best of our knowledge, this was the first study conducted among rural Chinese women to assess their intention to eat low-GI foods. We cross-culturally adapted and validated the questionnaire developed by Watanabe and colleagues [ 20 ], and the Chinese version was found to have a satisfactory fitness. In the primary application of the questionnaire, we found that the score for the TPB factors was associated with education level, diabetes history of family members, awareness of GI, and having had a glycemic test in the last three months.…”

“…Under the framework of the TPB, Watanabe and colleagues developed a tool to assess intentions to eat low-GI foods (IELQ) in adults with diabetes in Canada [ 20 ]. This questionnaire evaluated seven factors, including knowledge of the GI, instrumental attitude, experiential attitude, subjective norms, descriptive norms, PBC, and behavioral intention.…”

Different lines of evidence indicate that knowledge of low-glycemic index (GI) foods and the practice of eating them play important roles in blood glucose management and preventing T2DM in women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). According to the theory of planned behavior (TPB), intention is a critical factor in complying with health-related behaviors. However, an instrument for assessing the intention to eat low-GI foods is lacking in China. We aimed to (1) adapt and validate a Chinese version of the intentions to eat low-GI foods questionnaire (CIELQ) and (2) apply the CIELQ among rural Chinese women to explore the associations between CIELQ scores and glycemic status. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 417 nondiabetic, nonpregnant participants with a history of GDM in Hunan, China. After cultural adaptation and validation, the CIELQ was applied in a target population. Glycemic status, anthropometric variables, dietary intake, and physical activity were measured; a self-developed, standard questionnaire was applied to collect relevant information. The CIELQ showed good internal consistency; model fitness was acceptable based on the confirmatory factor analysis results. Awareness of the glycemic index was low among the study population. TPB factors were found to be associated with each other; education level and parents’ diabetes history were associated with specific factors. The score for instrumental attitude showed a positive association with the risk for a high level of the 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (odds ratio, OR = 1.330), while the score for perceived behavior control (PBC) showed a negative association with the risk for a high level (OR = 0.793). The CIELQ was determined to be a valid instrument for assessing the intention to eat a low-GI diet among the study population. The awareness of the GI was poor among the study population. The score for instrumental attitude showed a positive association with the risk of a high level on the 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and the score for PBC showed a negative association with the risk for a high level on OGTT.

“…Although TPB has been widely applied in various fields of study (e.g. Watanabe et al, 2015;Wu et al, 2016), TPB is scarcely used in the context of consumers' participation intention regarding CRM. Therefore, this study shows how TPB can be used as a theoretical foundation to enhance the study of CRM participation intention.…”

Purpose-This study intends to discover factors affecting consumers' intention to participate in cause-related marketing (CRM) and how CRM influences their intention to visit hypermarkets in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach-Through a self-administered questionnaire and using a mall-intercept technique, a total of 460 samples were collected from consumers in Malaysia. Structural equation modelling was then used to analyse the data. Findings-The results show that three variables (perceived CSR image, consumer-company identification and perceived company-cause fit) out of four significantly predicted consumers' attitude towards CRM. Also, two components (attitude and perceived behavioural control) out of three in the theory of planned behaviour were found to be significantly related to CRM participation intention. Lastly, CRM participation intention was found to influence hypermarket visit intention. Originality/value-The proposed theory of planned behaviour (TPB) was found to be applicable in predicting CRM participation intention and hypermarket visit intention. The findings showed that consumers are more likely to increase their intention to visit a hypermarket that adopts a CRM campaign, which led us to highlight the main implications for hypermarket management and new study areas in this field.
