Summary: Consumers' interest in organic food has increased, driven by perceptions of higher nutrition and health benefits. Concerns about the environment and animal welfare have also influenced purchasing behavior. A study of 330 organic food consumers in different cities in Turkey found that marital status, education, employment status, and age were related to purchasing behavior, while gender, income, and chronic disease did not impact actual buying. Benefits of organic foods, sustainable consumption attitudes, and positive moral attitudes affected perceived values, but perceived values did not significantly influence purchasing behavior.

Summary: The study analyzed the prevalence and predictors of children's estrangement from noncoresident biological mothers and fathers during young and middle adulthood using longitudinal survey data from the German Family Panel. The results showed that more children experienced estrangement from fathers than from mothers, and disruptive family events and estrangement from other parental figures were significant predictors. The study suggests that estrangement is a family matter that should be addressed from a family systems perspective and deserves further attention in family counseling and therapy.
