But consumers behave in complex ways, such as how to predict consumers to make rational decisions in consumption processes. Moreover, self-consumption control and motivation can vary significantly across different individual consumer.In order to build useful consumption prediction models, economists make simplifying assumptions, aims to predict how to raise stable basic income consumer target group consumption more success. However, behavioral economy method is one kind of accurate consumption prediction method. It can be applied to predict economic decision-making to every consumer consumption choice more accurate raising whose consumption desire?I shall indicate how to apply different behavioral economy methods ( demand and supply theory) to raise stable basic stable income target consumer group consumption desire in these different consumption situation ( consumption environment) aspects as below:1.Stable basic stable income consumer group consumption great or small amount desireThe consumption of products and services is a fundamental part of consumer's welfare. Basically, every one who has stable basic stable income, who will like to consume any products and services. Even, consumption great or small amount desire won't be depended on whether the person whose income is more or less. It means low income level of people will still like to consume great amount to buy expensive products or consume expensive services, because consumption is human's part of life and basic needs. This stable basic income people will like to consume, because they have stable income source when they do not worry about unemployment occurrence to cause them have no enough money to support their life. Otherwise, non-stable basic stable income people won't like to consume because they feel they have no stable basic income source to support their life and they will worry about unemployment occurrence any time.

Some psychologists differentiate habit between two concepts, such as goal oriented and automatic oriented both.

Book Predicting Travel Behaviors During the COVID 19 Pandemic with the Protection Motivation Theory

Download or read book Predicting Travel Behaviors During the COVID 19 Pandemic with the Protection Motivation Theory written by Mauro Eduardo Ortiz Bustamante and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected tourism across the world as borders closed, travel restrictions were imposed, and mandatory quarantine protocols were set in place. Any travel in these conditions would be considered a risk. In the tourism industry, risk perception and behavioral changes, namely travel intention, have been widely studied in the light of diverse situations including terrorist attacks, health crises, and natural disasters among others. However, little research has been conducted on the travel behaviors and risk perception of travelers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, the travel behaviors of tourists during the COVID-19 pandemic are analyzed with the aid of the Protection Motivation Theory. Data was collected during the months of October and November of 2020 through a comprehensive online survey in which 223 participants from across the globe took part. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate travel intention during the pandemic as well as travel behaviors including engaging in protective behavior. The results show that tourists are still willing to travel and are planning to travel during the winter season of 2020/2021 despite considering COVID-19 as a latent risk and are willing to engage in the different protective behaviors available (e.g. wearing masks). The findings of this paper are important because they can help us predict future travel behaviors not only during the COVID-19 pandemic, which at the time of writing of this paper is still ongoing, but during different health crises that might affect our freedom of movement in the future.
