“…It is a sign of the willingness of people to try to the level of effort they are preparing to invest in to perform the behaviour (Ajzen, 1991). An individual's likeliness to involve in a given behaviour is associated with the strength of the individual's intention to involve in the behaviour (Kagee and Freeman, 2017). Hence, behavioural intention shows the individual's dedication to carrying out the behaviour and is the resultant outcome of a combination of attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control.…”

“…Hence, behavioural intention shows the individual's dedication to carrying out the behaviour and is the resultant outcome of a combination of attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control. Intention is also known as an individual's motivation (Kagee and Freeman, 2017). Generally, the stronger the intention to engage in behaviour, the more likely the behaviour will be performed.…”

PurposeThis research aims to investigate consumers' food waste prevention behaviour through the lens of an extended theory of planned behaviour. The extension includes the examination of the role of social media usage in affecting consumers' decision-making process of food waste prevention behaviour.Design/methodology/approachA survey questionnaire is developed based on measurement items of previously validated studies. 210 samples are collected and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe results show that social media usage has a significant influence on attitude and injunctive norms. In addition, intention can be predicted by injunctive norms, moral norms and perceived behavioural control but not attitude. Lastly, the intention to reduce food waste is a significant predictor of food waste prevention behaviour.Originality/valueOverall, the extended theory of planned behaviour is useful in explaining consumers' food waste prevention behaviour. Interestingly, this study reveals that a negative attitude towards food waste behaviour does not translate into the intention to engage in food waste prevention behaviour. Furthermore, it is found that social media usage plays a significant in shaping consumers' attitudes towards food waste and injunctive norms.

“…This may lead to an increased risk of developing chronic diseases, which are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in high‐income countries . Preventable health risk behaviours such as inadequate fruit and vegetable intake, smoking, physical inactivity and hazardous alcohol consumption have been identified as key determinants of overall health . Engaging in multiple health risk behaviours can decrease an individual's life expectancy and quality of life .…”

Factors associated with engaging in health risk behaviours include socio‐demographic factors such as country and cultural context and low socio‐economic status .…”

Issue addressed: Informal caregivers may experience unique barriers to engaging in healthy lifestyles, consequently increasing their risk of chronic disease. Among a convenience sample of informal caregivers, this study aimed to: (a) assess the selfreported health risk behaviours of low fruit and vegetable consumption, low physical activity, current smoking and hazardous alcohol consumption; (b) examine the demographic, caree condition and country of residence variables associated with each health risk behaviour; and (c) report the engagement in multiple health risk behaviours. Methods: An online cross-sectional survey among caregivers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States was conducted. Self-reported health risk behaviours were assessed and compared to key Australian healthy living guidelines. Logistic regression modelling identified participant factors associated with each health risk behaviour. Results: Overall, 384 caregivers were included in the analysis. Hazardous alcohol consumption was the only self-reported health risk behaviour which was much higher than in the general population (60.0%). Caregiver age (P = .018) and country of residence (P = .015) were associated with hazardous alcohol consumption. A majority of caregivers reported engaging in three health risk behaviours (55.0%). Conclusions: Caregivers are engaging in a range of health risk behaviours; however, rates of hazardous alcohol consumption among the sample were high. Health promotion interventions targeted to address alcohol consumption should consider caregiver age and country of residence. So what? This study highlights the health risk behaviours caregivers engage in across a number of countries, and suggests that caregivers require further support to manage alcohol consumption in particular.

“…The search for individual dispositions and environmental factors which could diminish or elevate physical and mental health represents a fundamental task in this field of study. Physical and mental health are not independent of each other: somatic problems can facilitate psychological disturbances and vice versa (Kagee & Freeman, 2017). This is why these measures are thought to be the indicators of covitality, which depicts the level of general health and wellbeing (Figueredo, Vasquez, Brumbach, & Schneider, 2004).…”

Previous research suggested that psychopathy is related to diminished physical and mental health. However, this link could be specific to psychopathic lifestyle and antisocial behavior, while manipulative characteristics and emotional superficiality could be unrelated or even positively related to physical and mental health. Furthermore, psychopathic features could mediate the link between detrimental family characteristics and health problems. We tested these hypotheses in a sample of male convicts (N = 224). Psychopathy was explored via a rating method (PCL-R). Dysfunctional family characteristics were extracted from participants' prison files. Finally, self-reported biographical data was used to estimate problems in physical and mental health. Behavioral psychopathy tendencies and especially impulsive and erratic behavior turned out to be positively related both to physical and mental health problems. On the other hand, Interpersonal and Affective psychopathy features were mostly unrelated or negatively related to health problems. Finally, Antisocial and especially Lifestyle characteristics turned out to be significant mediators of the link between dysfunctional family characteristics and health problems. Research results showed that narrow psychopathy facets are differentially related to health status. Psychopathic lifestyle and criminal behavior are positively related with problems in physical and mental health, while manipulative characteristics and affective shallowness are associated with better health. The results are in accordance with the concept of successful psychopathy and evolutionary accounts on psychopathy. Key words: psychopathy, physical and mental health, family dysfunctions, successful psychopathy, human evolutionary ecology Highlights:• We explored the relations between psychopathy, dysfunctional family, and health.• Factor 2 psychopathy traits (Lifestyle and Antisocial) were positively related to health problems. • Factor 1 traits (Interpersonal and Affective) were negatively related to health problems. • Factor 2 traits mediated the relations between dysfunctional family relations and health problems.
