TL;DR

This study tests an organic food identity model in which health, environmental, and social consciousness relate to organic food identity and intentional organic food behavior, with Schwartz personal values as moderators. In a weighted Danish survey of 1,176 consumers, health consciousness positively and social consciousness negatively predicted organic food identity, while identity-to-behavior mediation depended on personal values.

Key findings

  • In the baseline SEM, health consciousness positively influenced organic food identity (β=0.58, p<0.01), social consciousness negatively influenced it (β=-0.28, p<0.01), and environmental consciousness was unrelated to organic food identity. Organic food identity was not related to intentional organic food behavior in the baseline model with controls.
  • Control variables: organic food involvement was positively related to organic food identity (β=0.54, p<0.01) and intentional organic food behavior (β=0.53, p<0.01); social norm was positively related to behavior (β=0.16, p<0.01); perceived organic food price (β=-0.29, p<0.01) and age (β=-0.03, p=0.03) were negatively related to behavior; gender was negatively related to identity (β=-0.06, p=0.01), with females more likely to develop positive organic food identity.
  • Health consciousness had a stronger positive effect on organic food identity at high versus low levels of conservation (β=0.66 vs 0.51), openness to change (β=0.61 vs 0.50), self-enhancement (β=0.63 vs 0.56), and self-transcendence (β=0.72 vs 0.45).
  • Moderated mediation: organic food identity positively influenced intentional organic food behavior when openness to change was low (β=0.10, p=0.03) and when self-transcendence was low (β=0.12, p<0.01), but not when these values were high. Health consciousness had a significant indirect effect on behavior through identity when openness to change was low (95% CI [0.02,0.24]) and when self-transcendence was low (95% CI [0.01,0.28]), but not when those values were high.

Methods

  • Data were collected by AudienceProject in March/April 2016 from an online Danish consumer panel; 1,176 respondents completed usable questionnaires. The sample was 45.2% women, mean age 57.4 years (range 15–86), and post-stratification survey weights were used for gender, age, income, and education because the sample differed from the Danish population (p<0.05); weighted results are reported.
  • The model used latent variables for environmental, health, and social consciousness; organic food identity; intentional organic food behavior; four Schwartz higher-order values; and controls. Estimation used structural equation modeling with confirmatory factor analysis and a structural part in SPSS Amos 24 with maximum likelihood.
  • Moderating effects were tested with multiple-group latent variable SEM and chi-square difference tests using median splits for personal values; moderated mediation was tested with bias-corrected bootstrapping. A segmentation analysis generated four segments.

Limitations

  • Stated: the study focused on only three consumer motivations, so additional motivations such as animal welfare, lack of confidence in conventional foods, and nostalgia may further detail results.
  • Stated: the study analyzed one society/culture, limiting generalizability; organic production guidelines and trust in certifying authorities vary across countries, and cultural characteristics such as uncertainty avoidance may matter.
  • Stated: the study used an online survey of Danish consumers about intentions, not non-hypothetical market behavior, and used perceptive self-report measures that could generate biased responses. Evident from the text: the design is cross-sectional, and the authors note SEM does not provide definitive causal evidence.

  • Health consciousness positively impacts self-identity regarding healthy eating.

    “Health consciousness is crucial in shaping consumers’ self-identity as health-conscious individuals [42,43,51,81].”

    From Psychological Determinants of Healthy Food Purchase Intention: An Integrative Model Based on Health Consciousness (2025) · cites this paper as [51]

    The Discussion (page not available in our copy) reports a positive influence of health consciousness on organic food identity. Section 2.1 defines that identity as identifying with the role of an organic food consumer, not as a health-conscious individual or healthy eater generally. The citing sentence extends the finding beyond the identity studied. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • The psychological mechanisms through which health consciousness influences purchase intentions remain understudied.

    “the interplay between various psychological factors and their collective influence on purchase intentions remain understudied [43,51,52,53,54]”
  • Moral norms positively impact healthy food purchase intention.

    “Moral norms, grounded in individual ethical values and principles, have been identified as significant drivers of healthy food consumption decisions, operating independently of external social pressures [36,51,105,106].”

    From Psychological Determinants of Healthy Food Purchase Intention: An Integrative Model Based on Health Consciousness (2025) · cites this paper as [51]

    The Discussion and Policy implications report that social norms are positively related to intended organic-food behavior, while §2.2 discusses personal values. Our copy does not report a finding about moral norms increasing healthy-food purchase intention independently of social pressures (searched: moral norms, moral obligation, ethical values, and purchase intention).

  • Using domain-specific values is more appropriate for understanding whether and how values are related to specific food behavior.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
