Calling and career preparation: Investigating developmental patterns and temporal precedence.
(Elsevier, 2013-03-13)
The presence of a calling and career development are assumed to be closely related. However,
the nature of and reason for this relationship have not been thoroughly investigated. We
hypothesized the existence of reciprocal ...
Differences in risk perception between hazards and between individuals
(Springer, 2018)
How people think about a hazard often deviates from experts’ assessment of its probability and severity. The aim of this chapter is to clarify how people perceive risks. We thereby focus on two important research lines: ...
How to improve consumers' environmental sustainability judgements of foods
(2018)
Food production and consumption account for approximately one-third of households' environmental impact. Consumers thus play a major role in the shift towards more sustainable foods and diets. An overall sustainability ...
Higher perceived risks of antimicrobial use are related to lower usage among pig farmers in four European countries
(2016)
The prudent use of antimicrobials (AMs) should be widened in pig farming to reduce the risk of AM resistance (AMR) in human and veterinary medicine. It is therefore important to understand pig farmers’ motivators and the ...
Judgments under uncertainty: evaluations of univocal, ambiguous and conflicting probability information
(2017)
People often have to make decisions about problems that not only involve a probability of a risk, but also an uncertainty around this probability. In this paper, uncertainty that arises through a lack of knowledge (i.e. ...
Does better for the environment mean less tasty? Offering more climate-friendly meals is good for the environment and customer satisfaction
(2015)
Food consumption comprises a significant portion of the total environmental impact of households. One way to reduce this impact may be to offer consumers more climate-friendly meal choices, such as when eating out. However, ...
Does environmental friendliness equal healthiness? : Swiss consumers’ perception of protein products
(2016)
Food production and consumption have major impacts on the environment. At the same time, changes in human diets worldwide are increasingly leading to health problems. Both issues are highly influenced by consumers’ everyday ...
Applying the evaluability principle to nutrition table information. How reference information changes people's perception of food products
(2009)
Consumers often neglect or misinterpret nutrition table information. We argue in this paper that this can be explained by the evaluability principle, which posits that people's evaluation of a product corresponds to a ...
A comparison of pig farmers' and veterinarians' perceptions and intentions to reduce antimicrobial usage in six European countries
(2016)
Antimicrobial (AM) resistance is an increasing problem in human and veterinary medicine. To manage this problem, the usage of AM should be reduced in pig farming, as well as in other areas. It is important to investigate ...
Sorting out food waste behaviour: A survey on the motivators and barriers of self-reported amounts of food waste in households
(2016)
Households in Western countries are responsible for a large amount of food that is not consumed, but instead is wasted, which has large environmental impacts. To reduce this amount, we should understand the predictors of ...
