Abstract

This paper aims to analyze young people’s consumption perception as well as the influences of COVID-19 pandemic on young people’s responsible behavior towards purchasing food. The research design involves a study on a sample of 119 students from Hanoi universities together with a development and validation of a regression model. Our results show that the effect of the COVID-19 from social influence variable is the most significant factor in the model, followed by risk perception and risk attitude. We hope that this small research would help provide more insights to the umbrella of crisis-related topics.
