Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Subjective norms have less effect or no effect on food waste behavior at the household level, especially if compared to more visible behavior.

    “However, other studies claimed that subjective norms have less effect or no effect on food waste behavior at the household level, especially if that norms are compared to more visible behavior [56-58].”
  • Subjective norms have a higher effect in the restaurant context than in the household.

    “On the other hand, Quested et al. [56] suggested that subjective norms have a higher effect in the restaurant context than in the household.”
  • Poor kitchen skills or time devoted to making shopping items by individuals or restaurant attitudes toward portion size are among factors that predict food waste intention.

    “In this context, studies have shown that poor kitchen skills or time devoted to making shopping items by individuals or restaurant attitudes toward portion size are among factors that predict food waste intention [51-60].”
  • The generation of food waste is a result of multiple behaviors that relate to different aspects of food purchasing, preparation, consumption and post-meal behaviors.

    “The generation of food waste is a result of multiple behaviors that relate to different aspects of food purchasing, preparation, consumption and post-meal behaviors [32].”
  • A lack of awareness and knowledge about the link between food waste and ecological impacts could explain the weak role of environmental concerns.

    “What could explain the weak role of environmental concerns is a lack of awareness and knowledge about the link between food waste and ecological impacts (Graham-Rowe et al., 2014;Quested et al., 2013;Stefan et al., 2013).”

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.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
