Future research agenda
| Elements of TCM and ADO | Proposed research questions (RQ) |
|---|---|
| Theories | RQ1: How can the integration of guilt and justification theory × nutritionism theory × restraint theory helps to better explain the food anti-consumption concept? |
| RQ2: How can restraint, planned behavior, and social identity theories be integrated to better comprehend food anti-consumption by considering individual-social interaction? | |
| RQ3: How can social foraging theory examine food consumption reduction? | |
| Contexts | RQ1: What are the key features of food anti-consumption behavior in the context of African countries? |
| RQ2: What are the drivers of food anti-consumption behavior for specific typology of consumers such as overweight people/Consumers switching to vegan? | |
| RQ3: What are the characteristics of food anti-consumption in the context of cultured meat, vegan food and street food? | |
| Methods | RQ1: What are the meanings of life with religiously controlled food anti-consumption via the use of an interpretive methodological approach? |
| RQ2: Adopting a phenomenological approach to study “what is it like to be restrained from eating a particular type of food”? | |
| RQ3: How does the longitudinal method seem relevant to observe changes and developments of food anti-consumption behavior over time? | |
| RQ4: How can controlled experiments (real vs simulated environments) effectively assess the impact of interventions (marketing strategies, policy adjustments) on reducing food anti-consumption behavior? | |
| RQ5: How does continuous observation through longitudinal research design capture the changing dynamics of the food anti-consumption decisions? | |
| Antecedents | RQ1: How does the combination of socio-environmental factors lead to distinct anti-consumption behaviors? |
| RQ2: How does consumer social responsibility (CSR) affect food anti-consumption behavior? | |
| RQ3: What is the role of engagement with sustainable consumption on food anti-consumption behavior? | |
| RQ4: How do the antecedents’ interrelationships impact the level of food anti-consumption? | |
| RQ5: How do personality traits control the food anti consumption decision? | |
| RQ6: How does emotional intelligence influence behaviors that discourage food eating? | |
| Decisions | RQ1: Creating a matrix of consumer typology concerned with food anti-consumption decisions |
| RQ2: Defining a new sub-construct of food brand resistance by including its related levels as avoidance and brand boycott and developing a measure | |
| RQ3: How can we operationalize the food anti-consumption, through the food anti-consumption (reduction, restriction/restraint, resistance, and rejection)? | |
| RQ4: Refining the conceptualization of the food anti-consumption-based sustainability through coupling it with sustainable practices | |
| Outcomes | RQ1: How do the food anti-consumption decisions impact brand loyalty, image and brand switching? |
| RQ2: How can consumer well-being related to food anti-consumption be accurately measured? | |
| RQ3: Does food anti-consumption behavior lead to consumer empowerment? | |
| RQ4: At what point does the individual well-being resulting from food anti-consumption reach the level of collective well-being? |
