Due to this fact, (Hsu 2018) and (Benini 2018) claim that millennials are afraid of being left behind by ephemeral content which will disappear within 24 hours so that many social media platforms are equipped with these temporary content features and companies are using temporary content strategies to reach more consumers. SMEs on the other hand have low knowledge of ephemeral content, even though 84% of millennials buy products due to the influence of social media, where ephemeral content lies within (Boen 2016).

Food safety scandals are recurring events in the food industry worldwide. Consumers and companies are not immune to these incidents. However, there is a paucity of studies that examine consumer responses toward food companies involved in food safety scandals. This chapter attempts to address these issues. First, it provides theoretical bases for the psychological mechanisms through which consumers form judgments of blame toward food brands involved in food safety scandals. Second, it clarifies how attributions of blame negatively affect relevant consumer non-behavioural responses (emotions and attitude) and behavioural responses (purchase intention, word-of-mouth, and boycott) toward faulty food brands. Third, it provides a literature review of the most relevant consumer-related, brand-related, and context-related variables, which may influence the psychological mechanisms of blame attribution, and subsequent non-behavioural and behavioural responses, in the context of a food safety incident.

This research aims to investigate the effects of emotional intelligence, word-of-mouth, trust and perceived value as important psychological factors on customers’ behavior through social network online purchase. A model has been constructed and based on the proposed relationships of emotional intelligence, word-of-mouth, trust, perceived value, purchase intention and purchase decision. A survey was carried out and collected 430 responses from people who used to buy cosmetics through social networks. By using quantitative approach and verification techniques, the findings indicate that consumers’ buying behavior is predicted by word-of-mouth, trust and perceived value. Besides, word-of-mouth is also regarded as a factor that directly affects trust. In addition, there is a significant positive relationship between perceived value and trust. A positive relationship has also been found between customers’ purchase intention and their buying decision. However, there is no significant signal about the relationship between emotional intelligence and trust. The study also brings some strategic recommendations to cosmetic sellers and suppliers about how to attract more customers, and lead them to be loyal among a multitude of choices in social network online purchase.

The domination of Word of mouth (WOM) has been applauded for many years as key influence on consumer purchases. Associating WOM with the internet usually called electronic-WOM (e-WOM) makes transmission of messages much easier, wider and faster. As e-WOM is not restricted to strong social tie groups thus the message itself plays a critical role in building purchase intention. The present study, first attempts to investigate messages efficacy on identified constructs.
