Funded Activity Summary

A consumer-adoption study: Exercise training for the healthy elderly in an Australian retirement community setting. Investigates the consumer-adoption process (knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation) for an exercise training service in a retirement village. This project will evaluate the psychological and physical impacts of the new exercise service. From a consumer behaviour perspective it will examine behavioural outcomes (adoption vs non-adoption), as well as the individual differences that distinguish adopters from non-adopters. Finally, it will examine customer intentions (i.e. intention to stay, intention to recommend). The project will establish the product/service effectiveness and acceptability in Australia, as well as the marketing potential of the program for Australian retirement villages in general.
