Abstract

Introduction: This paper aimed to build a predictive model through an empirical study to examine the influence of environmental awareness (EA) on attitude (ATT) and perceived behavioral control (PBC), as well as to determine the influence of the three variables of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) on willingness to pay (WP) for green products in the Peruvian market. Methods: A total of 405 Peruvian consumers were surveyed. Most of them were between the ages of 18 and 30 and single. To test the hypotheses, partial least squares (PLS-SEM) were used using the SamrtPls4 software. The results show the significant positive effect of EA on ATT and PBC. The positive and significant effect of ATT, SN, and PBC on WP was also tested A total of 405 Peruvian consumers were surveyed. Most of them were between 18 and 30 years old and single. To test the hypotheses, partial least squares (PLS-SEM) was used using SamrtPls4 software. Results: The results show the positive and significant effect of AD on ATT and PBC. The positive and significant effect of ATT, SN and PBC on WP was also tested. Discussion: The research provides antecedents that allow evaluation of the possibility that companies and governments adjust the dissemination strategies and related public policies regarding the impact of environmentally responsible behavior in order to contribute to the development of environmental awareness as a variable that promotes the disposition of consumers to pay for environmentally friendly products.

  • Perceived behavioral control positively impacts healthy food purchase intention.

    “The empirical evidence consistently demonstrates that individuals with higher perceived behavioral control exhibit stronger intentions to purchase healthy food products [54,95,96,97,98].”

    From Psychological Determinants of Healthy Food Purchase Intention: An Integrative Model Based on Health Consciousness (2025) · cites this paper as [54]

    The Literature review (Conceptual model and research hypothesis; page not provided) reports a positive relationship between perceived behavioral control and intention to purchase organic food. The paper’s own findings, discussed under General discussion, concern willingness to pay for green products. Neither passage establishes the claim for healthy food products generally. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • 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]”

    From Psychological Determinants of Healthy Food Purchase Intention: An Integrative Model Based on Health Consciousness (2025) · cites this paper as [54]

    The Introduction says that understanding sustainable purchasing requires examining how attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived control shape decisions, rather than merely describing the relationship between environmental awareness and willingness to pay. This supports the citing sentence’s broad point about psychological factors, but the paper does not establish that mechanisms linking health consciousness to purchase intentions are understudied; its focus is environmental awareness and green products.

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.
