Health Motivation for Purchasing Local Foods in the Southeastern United States

Thapaliya, Sudha 14 August 2015 (has links)
Health motivation is found to be a significant driver of local foods purchase (Maples et al., 2013; Onozaka, Nurse, and McFadden, 2010), yet it remains unclear what specific health aspects determine consumer purchase decisions. We study the specific health factors focusing on six particular diseases: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, back/joint pain and Alzheimer’s/dementia to find out whether a relationship exists between disease incidences and consumer decisions to buy local foods. We examine two separate decisions of whether and how frequently southeastern consumers buy local foods in a two-step decision framework known as Double Hurdle model. Results indicate that cancer, diabetes, obesity and back/joint pain are statistically significant to purchase foods at farm stands. Findings might help local food sellers and product marketers in the southeastern United States to gain a deeper understanding of how consumers’ health background and health concerns affect their choice of local food outlets.

Idrottslärarens motivationsarbete i grundskolans ämne idrott och hälsa : En kvalitativ studie om hur idrottsläraren arbetar för att motivera sina elever i idrott och hälsa i mellanstadiet och i högstadiet / Sports teachers motivational work in the primary topic of sports and health

Cannerstad, Cannerstad January 2015 (has links)
Bakgrund: Skillnaden mellan de fysisk aktiva och de fysiskt inaktiva ungdomarna blir allt större idag. Hjärt och kärl-sjukdomar är en av de dominerande folksjukdomarna som kan uppstå av fysisk inaktivitet. Skolan är en arena där barn utvecklas och får en möjlighet att röra på sig under skoltid. Som blivande idrottslärare är det då viktigt att kunna motivera eleverna i ämnet för ett fortsatt fysisk aktivitet. Syfte: Det primära syftet med undersökningen är att undersöka hur några idrottslärare arbetar för att motivera sina elever i idrott och hälsa. Därför valdes det att studera hur ett begränsat urval av idrottslärare i Karlstad kommun motiverar sina elever i ämnet idrott och hälsa. Metod: Arbetat är en kvalitativ metod i form av intervjuer vilket också har använts i undersökningen. Sex idrottslärare, tre som arbetar på ett högstadium och tre idrottslärare inom Karlstad kommun har undersökts. Intervjuerna har sammanställts och blivit resultatet av min studie. Respondenterna är konfidentiella och är skyddade av etiska rättigheter. Resultat: Resultaten visar att många av respondenterna upplever att motivationen är bra på skolorna och det har och göra med att många är fysiskt aktiva på fritiden. Resultaten visar även att variation i undervisningen och att det är viktigt att se eleverna och kunna erbjuda aktiviteter där varje elevs behov tillfredsställs samtidigt som eleverna får inflytande på idrottslektionerna. Detta leder i sin tur att de tre psykologiska behoven som kompetens, självständighet och samhörighet uppfylls och den inre motivationen stärks i ämnet. Studien har även kopplats i hop med tidigare studier och Self Determination Theory som är studiens teoretiska utgångspunkt. Nyckelord: Idrottslärare. Idrott och hälsa. Motivation. Skola. / Background: The difference between the physically active and the physically inactive young people is increasing today. Cardiovascular disease is one of the dominant endemic diseases that can be caused by physical inactivity. The school is an arena in which children develop and get an opportunity to move on during school hours. As future physical education teachers, it is then important to be able to motivate students in the subject of continued physical activity. Purpose: The primary objective of the study is to examine how physical education teachers can work to motivate their students in sports and health. Therefore it was chosen to study how a limited selection of the teachers in Karlstad municipality works to motivate their students in physical education and health. Method: I have used a qualitative approach in the form of interviews, which has also been used in the investigation. Six education teachers, three working at a high school and three physical education teachers in the municipality of Karlstad have participated in the investigation. The interviews were compiled and became the result of my study. The respondents are confidential and are protected by moral rights. Result: The results show that many of the respondents feel that the motivation is good at the schools and it has to do with the fact that many are physically active during their leisure time. The results also show that the variation in teaching, and that it is important to see the students on a more personal level and offer activities where each student's needs are met while students gain influence in PE classes. This leads in turn to the three psychological needs of competence, autonomy and affinity are met and internal motivation is strengthened in the subject. The study has also been linked to previous studies and Self Determination Theory is the study's theoretical base.   Keywords: Physical education teacher. Physical education and health. Motivation. School.
