“…In addition, the rise of sustainable products is being driven by marketing trends variously highlighting the importance of altruism (Alsalem et al, 2020; Hartmann et al, 2017), caring about others’ wellbeing (Hurst et al, 2013; Leonidou et al, 2015), and conservation of nature (McNeill & Moore, 2015; Tsai et al, 2020). In particular, encouraging such motives among consumers causes them to feel a “warm glow” (Hartmann et al, 2017; Iweala et al, 2019) when purchasing and consuming sustainable products because they are contributing to a good cause.…”

While sustainable products are mostly promoted with intrinsic appeals (e.g., “Buy this product and do something good for the environment”), marketers can also incorporate extrinsic appeals (e.g., “Buy this product and show others how sustainable you are”), thus creating joint appeals. However, it remains unclear whether such joint appeals will be more or less effective than intrinsic appeals in driving favorable consumer evaluations of sustainable products. This research investigates the divergent effects of joint versus intrinsic appeals on consumers’ likelihood of purchasing sustainable products and tests the moderating role of pioneering status in this regard. Across two experimental studies, this research demonstrates that joint (vs. intrinsic) appeals will lead to a higher likelihood of purchasing sustainable products from a brand perceived as a pioneer, but to a lower likelihood of purchasing sustainable products from a brand perceived as a follower. Further, these positive versus negative effects of joint appeals are driven by two distinct mechanisms—emotional value and consumer skepticism, respectively. The theoretical and practical contributions of this research are discussed.

“…Concerning health care and medicine-related fields, for example, the study of organ donation after death [ 38 ] explored the attitude and intention of organ donation through rational behavior theory and explained the rational decision-making process of this behavior. Moreover, in the study of the condom use behavior of people living with HIV [ 39 ] it was found that the subjective norms of condom use in individual cases can significantly predict the possibility of condom use in future sex.…”

The elderly need the assistance of walking aids due to deterioration of their physical functions. However, they are often less willing to use these aids because of their worries about how others may think of them. Not using professional walking aids often makes elderly people fall easily when walking. This study explores the behavioral intention factors of middle-aged people (45–64 years old) and elderly people (65 years and older) that affect the use of walking aids. Based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), subjective norms, attitude toward usage, behavior intention, safety, and usefulness were combined with social image to establish the research framework. This study used questionnaire surveys both in paper form assisted by volunteers and in online electronic form. A total of 457 questionnaires were collected. Data analysis was carried out in three stages: descriptive analysis, measurement model verification, and structural equation model analysis. The results showed that social image had a significant impact on the attitude toward using walking aids. Factors such as attitude toward usage, subjective norms, and safety of walking aids also had a significant positive impact on behavioral intention. Finally, through the research results, some suggestions are proposed for stakeholders to improve the elderly’s concerns about the social image of using walking aids.

“…On the other hand, it is a serious medical intervention and a possibly life-threatening event itself with far-reaching consequences for the individuals involved. There is research on transplantation-associated psychological factors of organ donors (see e.g., [2][3][4][5][6]) and on psychological factors associated with the procedure on the organ recipients' side as well (see e.g., [7][8][9][10]). Studies show that, in terms of psychological distress, the most frequently reported symptoms among organ recipients are anxiety symptoms (particularly fear of organ rejection, repeated surgery, and death) and symptoms of depression [11][12][13].…”

Organ transplantation is associated with significant physical and psychological burden for the recipients. Qualitative reports indicate that organ recipients develop donor and donation images (DDI)—conceptions of the donor and/or the organ. A deeper understanding of DDI is needed in the care of transplant recipients. To present the current state of knowledge, we searched for and identified DDI-related publications in PubMed and Scopus. Inclusion criteria were (1) studies addressing transplant recipients, and (2) English or German language. Twenty-one studies of individuals with transplanted hearts, lungs, or kidneys were included in this scoping review. Prevalence for DDI ranged from 6% to 52.3%. DDI occurs both before and after transplantation and includes ideas about the donor as well as whether and how the recipient’s personality may be altered by the transplanted organ. Some transplant recipients did indeed report personality changes following transplantation due to the adoption of assumed donor characteristics. One study showed a positive association between the presence of DDI and anxiety scores and one described a coping effect. DDI is understudied and should be systematically assessed to improve care for the vulnerable group of individuals undergoing organ transplantation. Current research gaps and future directions are discussed.
