主要变量统计特征(n=1002)

Main variable Observation variables Case (%) or Inline graphic
 AB: attitude of behavior; SN: subjective norms; BI: behavioral intention; FB: feeding behavior. (1-5): The relevant items of attitude of behavior and behavioral intention are responded to on a 5-point Likert scale, with the scores ranging between 1 being strongly disagree and 5 being strongly agree. (1-25): The relevant items of subjective norms are also responded to on a 5-point Likert scale. For each of the three items of subjective norms, there are a pair of questions measuring the normative beliefs and compliance motivation, and the scores, therefore, range between 1 and 25.
