Determinants of Consumers’ Purchasing Behavior for Certified Aquaculture Products in South Korea

This study aims to investigate consumers' decision-making process for purchasing certified aquaculture products using the theory of the planned behavior (TPB) model. Based on the TPB model, this study empirically examines the relationship among TPB constructs, namely; attitude, social norm, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intention to purchase sustainably produced products (i.e., Aquaculture Stewardship Council-certified products). Data from a web-based survey conducted through an online survey company (960 usable response samples) are analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that all latent variables (i.e., attitude, social norm, and perceived behavioral control) positively affect consumers' behavioral intention. More importantly, environmental awareness moderates the relationships between TPB constructs and behavioral intention. In the case of the high awareness group in this study, attitude influences behavioral intention more than social norm does. On the contrary, in the case of the low awareness group, social norm influences behavioral intention more than attitude does.Sustainability 2019, 11, 3840 2 of 18 for sustainable aquaculture is essential in a market-based approach, therefore, consumer research on sustainable aquaculture products is of great importance [3]. Consumer support can be earned through implementing sustainability-related certification systems [9]. The certification systems are a mechanism for transferring value, trust, and reward between producers and consumers.Even though consumer awareness of and support for sustainable aquaculture are an essential factor for implementing sustainable aquaculture, academic research on consumer awareness and attitudes toward sustainable aquaculture have been limited. It is unclear which latent variables affect pro-environmental consumer behavior (e.g., purchasing certified products for sustainable production) and how the environmental awareness of the consumer affects their behavior. Therefore, the author proposes the following research questions so as to fill such research gaps:

“…Y-B c 2 ) and other indices under Yuan-Bentler's correction of the results were adopted for deciding goodness of fit for the models. This approach is regarded as an effective adjustment procedure when the model violates multivariate normality and is applied to incomplete data (Blunch, 2016;Byrne, 2008;Savalei & Bentler, 2005).…”

Confirmatory Factor Analysis for a Service-Learning Outcomes Measurement Scale (S-LOMS)

Service-learning was introduced into Hong Kong over a decade ago, yet there is a research gap about the self-perceived student learning outcomes, partly due to the lack of a reliable measurement instrument across disciplines and service-learning types. This study evaluated a recently created Service-Learning Outcomes Measurement Scale (S-LOMS) through confirmatory factor analysis with 629 students. S-LOMS measures self-perceived student learning outcomes with 56 items covering various learning outcome domains under four higher-order categories: knowledge application; personal and professional skills; civic orientation and engagement; and self-awareness. Alternative measurement models were compared, with the results indicating that although a model with 11 domains and without higher-order categories was preferred, there was also support for a model with 10 domains subsumed under the four higher-order categories. Multi-sample analyses indicated that both models were stable across gender.

“…Los modelos fueron estimados a partir de matrices de correlaciones policóricas por ser las variables en estudio de naturaleza ordinal (Morata-Ramírez & Holgado-Tello, 2013;Rhemtulla, Brosseau & Savalei, 2012). Se empleó además el método de estimación AGLS (Arbitrary Distribution Generalized Least Squares), robusto para análisis de un bajo número de reactivos de naturaleza ordinal y con una muestra amplia (Blunch, 2016). Los modelos fueron evaluados a partir de los índices de ajuste NFI (Normed Fit Index), NNFI (Non-Normed Fit Index), CFI (Comparative Fit Index), RMSEA (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation).…”

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivos examinar las evidencias de validez de contenido y aparente, analizar evidencias de validez de constructo, estudiar la consistencia interna de las dimensiones que integran el instrumento e investigar evidencias de validez concurrente de la Escala de Autoeficacia para el Afrontamiento del Estrés en estudiantes universitarios. La muestra se conformó por 333 alumnos de una universidad privada argentina. Para esto, se realizó procedimientos de juicio experto y una prueba piloto. Posteriormente se efectuó un estudio factorial confirmatorio comparando dos modelos factoriales de primer orden y de segundo orden. Los resultados evidenciaron un adecuado ajuste del modelo de primer orden, registrando una adecuada consistencia interna y evidencias de validez concurrente. Estos resultados fueron discutidos utilizando las dos concepciones dominantes sobre la autoeficacia. Palabras clave: autoeficacia, estudio factorial confirmatorio, estudiantes universitarios, validez, confiabilidad. 1 Agradecimientos: Los autores reconocen y agradecen la colaboración de Analía Rivas y Julián Mur, integrantes del proyecto mayor: Autoeficacia para el Afrontamiento del Estrés y la Ansiedad Rasgo-Estado en Estudiantes Universitarios.
