“…8,9 However, the direct influence of past behavior has frequently been dubbed an "empty" concept. 4,42,43 One of the mechanisms that may account for this direct influence is habit strength. 44 Empirical findings 45,46 indicate the additional explanatory value of habit in PA-related behaviors.…”

“…These learned sequences of acts are triggered by environmental cues and reinforced with rewarding past experiences (van't Riet et al, 2011;Verplanken & Aarts, 1999). With habitual behaviours, such as eating, less information is needed to make decisions, consumption intentions are poor predictors of consumption behaviour, and consumption behaviour is stimulated by environmental or situational cues (van't Riet et al, 2011).…”

Australian consumers hold very favourable attitudes toward seafood with key drivers to consumption being taste, convenience, diet variety and health benefits. Nevertheless, despite these positive attitudes, seafood consumption remains below many other countries. In this paper, we investigate the influence of habit including regular childhood consumption, familiarity with seafood, and attitudes toward seafood on seafood consumption and consumption occasions. Habit and lack of familiarity with seafood were found to lead to lower levels of seafood consumption, while positive attitudes toward seafood were associated with more regular seafood consumption. People who consumed seafood on a regular basis as a child were more likely to be more familiar with seafood and be in the habit of consuming seafood in adulthood. Patterns of childhood consumption occasions were found to be associated with adult consumption occasions. Based on these findings, we discuss possible strategies and behavioural interventions for further investigation, which are grounded in habit theory and are aimed at changing seafood eating habits, increasing childhood consumption, and reducing the lack of familiarity with seafood.

“…Habits are as learned sequences of acts that have become automatic responses to specific cues and are functional in obtaining certain goals or end states [1]. Habits are response dispositions that are activated automatically by the context cues that co-occurred with responses during past performance.…”

-What elements impact the usage continuance and the habit formation of information system users? How to utilize these elements in the field of user experience design? It is worth noting that both goals and contexts play key roles in helping information system users forming habits. Before the habit is formed, goals trigger the non-habitual behavior. When the behavior continuance goes up, stable contexts trigger the behavior, and automaticity is correspondingly generated. It is context-cued automaticity makes the habitual behaviors more efficient than non-habitual behaviors.
