Abstract Insect-based foods have gained much attention as an alternative source of protein in recent years because of their high nutritional content and low production costs. However, consumer acceptance of insect-based foods still poses a big challenge in many societies. Across three studies, we examined how social companions (alone, friend, family, acquaintance, partner) and location (cafe, bar, pub, food festival) are associated with people’s willingness to eat insect-based foods. We also examined the positive arousing (fun, excitement) and positive calming (romance, tranquility) emotions that were evoked by several eating contexts. The results of Studies 1 and 2 revealed that participants expected that they would be more willing to eat insect-based foods with friends (vs. alone, family, acquaintance, partner) and in pubs and at food festivals (vs. in a cafe, bar). The results of Study 3 replicated the main findings of the first two studies using the actual names (not pictures) of insect-based food products, namely ‘mealworm burger’ and ‘cricket chocolate bar’. Moreover, these contexts, where people would be more willing to eat insect-based foods, were associated with positive arousing emotions (fun, excitement) rather than positive calming emotions (romance, tranquility). Taken together, then, these findings reveal the role of contexts associated with positive arousing emotions in eating insect-based foods and provide practical advice concerning the situations in which the consumer’s acceptance of insect-based foods may be increased.

对以昆虫为基础的食物的情境接受

摘要 近年来,以昆虫为基础的食品作为蛋白质的替代来源,因其营养含量高、生产成本低而备受关注。然而,消费者对昆虫食品的接受程度在许多社会仍然是一个巨大的挑战。在三项研究中,我们研究了社交伙伴(独自一人、朋友、家人、熟人、伴侣)和地点(咖啡馆、酒吧、酒馆、美食节)与人们食用昆虫类食物的意愿之间的关系。我们还检查了由几种饮食环境引起的积极唤起(乐趣、兴奋)和积极平静(浪漫、安宁)情绪。研究 1 和 2 的结果显示,参与者预计他们会更愿意与朋友(而不是独自一人、家人、熟人、合作伙伴)以及酒吧和美食节(相对于咖啡馆、酒吧)。研究 3 的结果使用昆虫食品的实际名称(而非图片)复制了前两项研究的主要发现,即“粉虫汉堡”和“板球巧克力棒”。此外,人们更愿意吃以昆虫为基础的食物的这些环境与积极的唤起情绪(乐趣、兴奋)而不是积极的平静情绪(浪漫、宁静)有关。综上所述,这些发现揭示了与积极情绪相关的环境在食用昆虫类食物中的作用,并提供了有关可能增加消费者对昆虫类食物接受度的情况的实用建议。研究 3 的结果使用昆虫食品的实际名称(而非图片)复制了前两项研究的主要发现,即“粉虫汉堡”和“板球巧克力棒”。此外,人们更愿意吃以昆虫为基础的食物的这些环境与积极的唤起情绪(乐趣、兴奋)而不是积极的平静情绪(浪漫、宁静)有关。综上所述,这些发现揭示了与积极情绪相关的环境在食用昆虫类食物中的作用,并提供了有关可能增加消费者对昆虫类食物接受度的情况的实用建议。研究 3 的结果使用昆虫食品的实际名称(而非图片)复制了前两项研究的主要发现,即“粉虫汉堡”和“板球巧克力棒”。此外,人们更愿意吃以昆虫为基础的食物的这些环境与积极的唤起情绪(乐趣、兴奋)而不是积极的平静情绪(浪漫、宁静)有关。综上所述,这些发现揭示了与积极情绪相关的环境在食用昆虫类食物中的作用,并提供了有关可能增加消费者对昆虫类食物接受度的情况的实用建议。人们更愿意吃以昆虫为基础的食物,与积极的唤起情绪(乐趣、兴奋)而不是积极的平静情绪(浪漫、宁静)有关。综上所述,这些发现揭示了与积极情绪相关的环境在食用昆虫类食物中的作用,并提供了有关可能增加消费者对昆虫类食物接受度的情况的实用建议。人们更愿意吃以昆虫为基础的食物,与积极的唤起情绪(乐趣、兴奋)而不是积极的平静情绪(浪漫、宁静)有关。综上所述,这些发现揭示了与积极情绪相关的环境在食用昆虫类食物中的作用,并提供了有关可能增加消费者对昆虫类食物接受度的情况的实用建议。
