This chapter introduces the cognitive paradigm. The concept of translation and associated problems is discussed. Several arguments for the adoption of a cognitive-based social sciences are provided. A brief history of the term cognition is provided and the origin of theory in tourism discussed. Justifications for the use of cognitive psychology in the field of tourism are provided. These include the (mostly) hedonic and hence emotional nature of tourism experiences, the novelty of travel outside one’s usual environment, the importance of imagining, daydreams, emotions and desire for travel decisions and the importance of autobiographical memories because of travel.

Publication . Nogueira, Adriana; Marques, Susana; Silva, Maria de Fátima
Partindo das afirmações de Nuno Júdice, de que “a poesia é uma coisa visual” (2018: 60), e de que o que considera “importante num poema ecfrástico (…) é que ele possa também viver sem a imagem que o inspira” (2018: 63), irei debruçar-me sobre o modo como podem (sobre)viver as personagens da Antiguidade na sua poesia ecfrástica, no caso em análise, Cassandra, num meio digital que o poeta criou, entre 2006 e 2008, o blogue A a Z.
Organic food-buying intention drivers: a study based on means-end chain theory
Publication . Oliveira, Alessandro Silva de; Quiroga Souki, Gustavo; Boas, Luiz Henrique de Barros Vilas
Purpose – Understanding how attributes, consequences and values (A-C-V) influence the predisposition to purchase and buying intention of organic food consumers (OFC) is crucial for its stakeholders. This study aims to (1) investigate whether OFC perceptions of the A-C-V impact their predisposition to purchase and buying intention; (2) examine the mediating effect of predisposition to purchase on the relationship between OFC personal values and their buying intentions and (3) verify whether consumers with distinct levels of organic food-buying intention perceive differently of the A-C-V, predisposition to purchase and consumption frequency.
Design/methodology/approach – This quantitative study comprised 307 consumers who filled out a form about their perceptions of organic foods’ A-C-V and their consumption frequency, purchasing predisposition and buying intention. Partial least squares strutural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) tested the hypotheticalmodel that resorted to themeans-end chain (MEC) theory (Gutman, 1982). Cluster analysis based on OFC’s buying intentions compared their perceptions of the A-C-V, purchasing predisposition and consumption frequency.
Findings – The OFC’s perception of the attributes of these foods impacts the consequences of their consumption and values. Such values positively influence their purchase predisposition and buying intention.
Predisposition to purchase measured the relationship between OFC values and purchase intention. Three OFC clusters were identified according to their buying intentions. Such groups perceive the A-C-V singularly and have different purchasing predispositions and consumption frequencies.
Originality/value – OFC values directly influence buying intentions. However, the predisposition to purchase strongly mediates the relationship between values and buying intentions, producing an indirect impact more notable than a direct one. It brings academic and managerial contributions to organic food stakeholders.
