... Among the most important sources of remittances in the world half of the countries are developed European economies. Switzerland and Germany are the 4th and 5th most important providers of remittances in the world, respectively, and the most important sources of remittance inflows for European transition economies and Turkey (Rossel et al., 2023). On the other hand, the largest part of remittances from France is routed to Belgium, Spain and Portugal, and its former colonies, Morocco and Algeria (Kalantaryan & McMahon, 2021). ...

... Few studies on charitable giving take into account national culture differences, especially those established based on cultural affiliations declared by individuals rather than by ascribing the same cultural profile to each respondent residing in a given country. Recent research highlights inconsistencies in the relationship between national culture dimensions and charitable behavior, calling for further investigation in this area (Bernardino & Santos, 2022;DiPietro & Butticè, 2020;Hashinaga et al., 2023). Collectivism/ individualism and power distance are two cultural dimensions of particular interest, and scholars reported incongruous conclusions about their associations with charitable behavior (Bernardino & Santos, 2022). ...

... Previous studies that have applied the VBN theory have focused on personal norms (Hiratsuka et al., 2018;Park et al., 2022;Majeed et al., 2023). However, in China's collectivist society, which emphasizes the interdependence of relationships and group members, the impact of social norms on individuals is amplified (Hashinaga et al., 2023). "Social norms" refer to the collective perceptions of how individuals of significance in a social circle should think or behave, serving as a compass for what is considered customary. ...

... These findings are relevant for strategic considerations of aesthetics in product development and marketing to compete effectively in the cake market. Positive reactions to EAH banana cakes show a future in reducing waste and increasing the value of this abundant resource, aligning with studies highlighting the positive impact of product aesthetics on usage behavior and consumer decision-making (Rössel et al., 2021;Solanki, 2018). ...

... A autenticidade como originalidade não é uma qualidade específica inerente a certos objetos culturais, sendo-lhes atribuída, num processo de construção social, no qual jogam um papel central os gostos, competências, conhecimentos e práticas ou o habitus. Isto é, as disposições estáveis que orientam perceções, avaliações e ações dos indivíduos (Bourdieu 1993;Weingartner et al., 2021). ...

... While the beforementioned theories mostly consider norm as a driving factor to purchase fair trade products, there are other papers that related fair trade consumption to economic reason (Dragusanu et al., 2014), and sociocultural factors including lifestyle (Schenk et al., 2021), social dominance (Gohary et al., 2023), cross-country differences (Andorfer & Liebe, 2012b) or using other approaches such as postcolonial theory (Blanchet, 2012;Dam, 2015) and feminist approach (Sen, 2018). ...

... Testing also subjective social status showed that, in a representative German sample, feeling socially excluded was predicted by both objective and-more strongly-by subjective assessments of one's SES (Bude & Lantermann, 2006). A recent large-scale analysis in Switzerland corroborated these findings by demonstrating that subjective evaluations of one's SES predicted feelings of social exclusion, even after accounting for factors such as loneliness and social contacts (Djouadi et al., 2021). Similarly, in Japan, studies have consistently revealed that low SES is associated with heightened feelings of social exclusion (Hommerich & Tiefenbach, 2017;Hommerich et al., 2022). ...

... Thus, all concepts measured in this study depend heavily on people's specific understanding of Europe and European culture. Whereas the European majority population perceives Europe as diverse and tolerant, the population with a migration background often sees European identity as a "white identity" (Begum, 2023;Datler et al., 2021). This obviously applies to the indicators of geographical inclusiveness, which all refer to European culture explicitly. ...

... I transcribed interviews verbatim and did not revise grammatical 'errors,' acknowledging that 'non-native' Third World English speakers often use English differently from 'native' speakers in the West. I was also cognizant that foreign language proficiency is an unequally distributed form of linguistic capital in a transnational order (Rössel & Schroedter, 2021). I recorded and analysed pauses, gesticulations, laughter, and semiotic expressions of emotion. ...

... Although research produced rather consistent findings on the importance of these determinants, various authors have argued that a perspective on ethical and political motivations alone is insufficient for the explanation of ethical consumption [18][19][20]. They opt for the inclusion of lifestyles-patterns of behavior that exhibit a certain formal similarity across various situations and express underlying orientations, e.g., aesthetical, religious or ethical principles [21,22]. ...
