Choice of organic foods is related to perceived consequences for human health and to environmentally friendly behaviour
Abstract
We designed a questionnaire concerned with attitudes and behaviour towards organic foods, environmentally friendly behaviour (EFB), and perceived consequences of organic food choice in terms of human health, the environment and animal welfare. It was mailed in 1998 to a random nation-wide sample of 2000 Swedish citizens, ages 18-65 years, and 1154 (58%) responded. Self-reported purchase of organic foods was most strongly related to perceived benefit for human health. Performance of EFBs such as refraining from car driving was also a good predictor of purchase frequency. The results indicate that egoistic motives are better predictors of the purchase of organic foods than are altruistic motives.

In the citing paper
“Health, environmental, and social consciousness differ in the sense that health consciousness can be regarded as a more egoistic motive (benefits the individual), social consciousness as a mixture of egoistic/altruistic motives (benefits her/his family) while consideration for the environment is more altruistic (benefits the environment rather than the individual) (Magnusson et al., 2003).”

In the citing paper
“For socially conscious consumers, organic marketplace behaviors offer a viable and meaningful way to connect their private concerns (e.g., concern for one's own health) with concerns for their social surroundings (e.g., concerns for the health of one's family) (Atkinson, 2012;Magnusson et al., 2003;De Maya et al., 2011).”

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.
