Product involvement and consumer food-elicited emotional associations: Insights from emoji questionnaires

The Effect of Consumer Involvement in Light Lamb Meat on Behavior, Sensory Perception, and Health-Related Concerns

“…Both perceived intrinsic and extrinsic quality cues build product quality as a multidimensional construct [48] that serves as a surrogate indicator of quality to consumers/shoppers [49]. These quality cues, therefore, elicit consumer interest in the product [50] and are important because they reinforce the feelings of pleasure gained by highly involved consumers by means of purchase and consumption [28].

It’s not clear whether other indexing services are capable of handling extended character sets.…”

“…Their use in the scientific literature has already begun: at least one paper has included emoji in the abstract,2 and a brief piece on scientific emoji was featured in Nature 3. (The plural of emoji is under some debate 45.…”

Στη σύγχρονη εποχή οι καταναλωτές θεωρούν ότι η κατανάλωση ξηρών φρούτων παρέχει ευκολία ως προς τη μεταφορά και συντήρηση/αποθήκευση και τα κυρίαρχα συναισθήματα κατά την κατανάλωσή τους είναι ευχάριστα (Jaeger et al, 2018).…”
