Popular Abstract
The result of the research confirms the Theory of Planned Behavior can be applied in Scandinavian Millennial food consumption phenomenon, with a note of the need for further research on the efficacy between Subjective Norms and behavioral intention. Besides TPB factors, a few internal factors were also identified to form the healthy eating intention. Furthermore, derived from the empirical materials, three sources, namely PBC, Planning and Goal Setting, as well as Conflicting Intentions are considered factors that trigger the intention-behavior gap.
