Small purchases, big effects : How norms, attitudes and perceived behavioral control are affected by social media when purchasing energy drinks (English)
Abstract [sv]

I dagens digitaliserade samhälle spelar sociala medier en stor roll i påverkan på ungas köpbeteende. Low involvement produkter kännetecknas ofta som produkter med låg personlig involvering, låg upplevd risk och till ett lågt pris. När en low involvement produkt som energidryck marknadsförs på sociala medier är det ofta i ett hälsosamt och sportigt syfte, riktade till unga. Eftersom konsumtionen av energidrycker ökat hos ungas har det undersökts i denna studie om marknadsföring av energidryck på sociala medier påverkar intentionen att köpa och konsumera energidryck, bland unga mellan 15–30 år. Studien utgår från Theory of Planned Behavior som bygger på hur attityder, subjektiva normer och upplevd beteendekontroll påverkar intentionen att utföra ett beteende, exempelvis ett köpbeteende. Detta undersöks genom en enkät, med 105 svar, hur dessa tre faktorer påverkar intentionen att köpa och konsumera energidryck. 

Hypoteser är utformade utifrån Theory of Planned behavior där attityder, subjektiva normer och upplevd beteendekontroll ska ha ett positivt samband med intentionen att utföra ett beteende. Resultatet i denna studie visar att attityder har ett måttligt positivt samband med intentionen att konsumera energidryck, medan subjektiva normer har ett svagt positivt samband. Upplevd beteendekontroll visade däremot ett negativt måttligt samband med intentionen att konsumera energidryck, vilket avviker från tidigare forskning och hypotesen. Dessa resultat visar att attityder har störst påverkan på intentionen att konsumera energidryck och att upplevd beteendekontroll har mindre påverkan på intentionen efter exponering av marknadsföring på sociala medier, eftersom sambandet var negativt. Studien bidrar med ny kunskap om hur marknadsföring på sociala medier påverkar köpbeteenden hos unga i samband med konsumtion av energidryck. 

Abstract [en]

In today's digitalized society, social media plays a major role in influencing the purchasing behaviour of youth/young adults. Low involvement products are often characterized as products with low personal involvement, low perceived risk and a low price. When a low involvement product such as energy drinks is promoted on social media, it is often for a healthy and sporty purpose, targeting young people. Since the consumption of energy drinks has increased among young people this study will investigate whether the marketing of energy drinks on social media affects the intention to buy and consume energy drinks, among young people/young adults between the ages of 15-30. The study is based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, which is based on how attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control affect the intention to perform a behavior, such as a purchase behavior. This is examined through a questionnaire, with 105 responses, how these three factors affect the intention to buy and consume energy drinks.

Hypotheses are designed based on the Theory of Planned behavior where attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control should have a positive relationship with the intention to perform a behavior. The results of this study show that attitudes have a moderate positive relationship with the intention to consume energy drinks, while subjective norms have a weak positive relationship. Perceived behavioral control, on the other hand, showed a negative moderate relationship with intention to consume energy drinks, which deviates from previous research. These results imply that attitudes have the greatest impact on intention to consume energy drinks and that perceived behavioral control has less impact on intention after exposure to social media marketing, as the relationship was negative. The study contributes new knowledge about how social media marketing influences the purchasing behavior of young people in the context of energy drink consumption.
