Cultural differences of a dual‐motivation model on health risk behaviour

The influence of self-efficacy, subjective norms, and risk perception on behavioral intentions related to the H1N1 flu pandemic: A comparison between Korea and the US

“…Hence, an agency's self‐efficacy beliefs are thought to exert a stronger impact on behavioral intention in individualistic cultures than in collectivistic cultures. For instance, a sense of personal control has a greater impact on depression for Westerners than for Asians (Chen, Chan, Bond & Stewart, ); self‐control had a stronger effect on behavioral intention to consume unhealthy foods in a Dutch sample than in a Japanese sample (Ohtomo, Hirose & Midden, ).…”

Effects of awe on consumer preferences for healthy versus unhealthy food products

“…For instance, Westerners tend to be more analytic and make decisions based on logic and rules while East Asians tend to be more holistic (e.g., Nisbett, Peng, Choi, & Norenzayan, ). In addition, a person's behavior in consumeristic culture tends to be based on the reasoned process while a person's behavior in collectivism culture tends to be based on the reactive process (Ohtomo, Hirose, & Midden, ). Therefore, people with distinctive cultural backgrounds may differ in their propensity for analytic processing style and food preference.…”

Adolescent Turkish migrants’ eating behavior in Germany: A comparison to nonmigrants in the home and host countries based on the prototype-willingness model.

“…Finally, the entire PWM with its two pathways was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) and found to explain 21.2% to 51.6% of the behavior variance (Dohnke, Steinhilber, & Fuchs, 2015;. In sum, these studies demonstrate the PWM with its social-cognitive factors to be relevant for the explanation of eating behavior in different cultures such as in the Netherlands (Gerrits et al, 2009), in Germany (Steinhilber et al, 2013;Fuchs et al, in press;Dohnke et al, 2015;, in the United States, in Hungary (Gerrits et al, 2010), in Japan (Ohtomo et al, 2011), and in Turkey . To our knowledge, however, only one cross-cultural study tested differences between cultural groups: It revealed comparable prediction patterns of the social-cognitive factors among samples of adolescent nonmigrants in Turkey and in Germany .…”

“…In addition, the perception of the healthy eater was found to be associated with the consumption of fruit and vegetables (Gerrits et al, 2010) and general eating behavior (Steinhilber et al, 2013). Furthermore, willingness predicted eating behavior over and above intentions (Fuchs, Steinhilber, & Dohnke, in press) and the consumption of unhealthy foods 3 (Ohtomo, Hirose, & Midden, 2011). Finally, the entire PWM with its two pathways was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) and found to explain 21.2% to 51.6% of the behavior variance (Dohnke, Steinhilber, & Fuchs, 2015; Steinhilber & Dohnke, 2014).…”
