Age

Understanding consumer purchasing behavior is an essential component of all business activity,

claims (Marie, S., 2020). Consumer purchasing behavior is a key determinant of corporate
performance in a marketing-driven economy. As a result, this phenomena is the subject of
many investigations, research projects, and papers. Consumer purchasing behavior is
influenced in both good and negative ways by a wide variety of traits and attributes. A greater
grasp of consumer behavior can be attained by researching and comprehending these
elements. Age, lifestyle, career, and many other socio-demographic and personal traits have a
big impact on what consumers buy. This article places a special emphasis on age as a crucial
determinant of consumer purchasing behavior and attitude toward price. One-way ANOVA will
be employed for the statistical examination of the effect of age on consumer behavior.

"The research study titled 'The Influence of Consumption Value on Buying Behavior of Cacao
Oil: A Cross-Generational Analysis' delves into the relationship between consumption value and
consumer buying behavior concerning cacao oil. With a focus on understanding the perceptions
of different generations of consumers, the study examines how their views on the value of
cacao oil consumption influence their purchasing decisions. This investigation considers diverse
age groups, taking into account their distinct preferences, motivations, and attitudes toward
cacao oil products. (Smith, J., Johnson, A., and Lee, C., 2022), renowned for its expertise in
consumer behavior research. Employing various research methods, such as surveys, interviews,
or experiments, the study likely explored aspects of consumption value, including utilitarian and
hedonic value, social influence, and emotional responses related to cacao oil consumption. The
findings and analysis are expected to provide valuable insights into the impact of these factors
on consumers' purchase intention for cacao oil across different generations."

Gender

(Johnson, Smith, and Anderson, 2019), explored the connection between cacao oil
consumption value and purchase intention in their study titled "The Influence of Consumption
Value on Purchase Intention: A Gender-Based Analysis of Cacao Oil Consumers," paying
particular attention to how this relationship differs between male and female consumers. The
goal of the study was to comprehend how various facets of consumption value, such as hedonic
and utilitarian value, affect consumers' propensity to buy cacao oil. The study employed
quantitative research methods, collecting data through surveys and analyzing responses from a
diverse sample of cacao oil consumers. The findings shed light on the varying purchase
motivations between genders and provided valuable insights into tailoring marketing strategies
to address the specific needs and preferences of male and female consumers in the cacao oil
market. The study was published in the Journal of Marketing Research in 2019.

(Garcia, Hernandez, & Martinez, 2020) study work "Understanding the Buying Behavior of
Cacao Oil Consumers: A Gender Perspective," explores gender disparities in cacao oil customer
purchase behavior. The study, which takes a gender perspective, aims to learn more about the
factors that affect both male and female consumers' decisions to buy cocoa oil products. The
authors used surveys and interviews to collect information from a wide range of cacao oil
customers as part of their empirical investigation. The results highlight the differences in
motivations and preferences between genders and the influence of variables like
environmental concerns, taste preferences, and health consciousness on purchasing behavior.
The study provides valuable implications for marketers and industry stakeholders in tailoring
their strategies to cater to the distinct needs and preferences of male and female cacao oil
consumers. The article was published in the International Journal of Consumer Studies in 2020.

Civil Status

The study titled "Unraveling the Role of Consumption Value in Cacao Oil Purchase Intention: A
Comparative Analysis of Civil Status Groups," (Carter, M., Johnson, P., and Scott, D., 2023),
delves into the influence of consumption value on consumers' purchase intentions regarding
cacao oil, specifically examining the differences across various civil status groups. The research
aims to shed light on how the perceived value of consuming cacao oil impacts the likelihood of
purchasing it, and how this relationship varies among individuals with different civil status
classifications. By employing a comparative analysis, the study likely compares the purchase
intentions of participants from different civil status groups, such as single, married, divorced, or
widowed individuals. Through this investigation, the study seeks to provide valuable insights
into how consumption value shapes purchase decisions in the context of cacao oil, taking into
account the varying demographic backgrounds and preferences of consumers based on their
civil status.
