COVID panic buying
Have you thought about using COVID panic buying as a case study? Jtneill - Talk - c 09:04, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi James, absolutely. As COVID-19 is accepted to be the first broadly researched modern pandemic (Loxton, M. et al, 2020), I have found that most of the current literature on panic buying is heavily situated around COVID-19. It may even enrich my chapter to search for resources in the literature that do not concern the COVID-19 pandemic. --M.Pulford (discuss • contribs) 06:17, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Suggested reading to consider
Hello! Very excited for this as it is very relevant to current lockdown behaviour. I suggest reading this  article as it summarises the behavioural influences well

Proper source format to make it easier to cite: Yuen, K., Wang, X., Ma, F. and Li, K., 2020. The Psychological Causes of Panic Buying Following a Health Crisis. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 17(10), p.3513. (discuss • contribs)

Hi Zandrine! Thanks, I'm enjoying researching my topic. I agree, that is an excellent article, it is already included in my topic development! --M.Pulford (discuss • contribs) 13:18, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I've found an article related to panic buying that may be of use to you.

Analysis of over-purchasing during Covid-19 using data from the UK and Republic of Ireland. Includes possible contributing factors to an increase in over-purchasing (income, psychological factors, distress, presence of children, threat sensitivity, mistrust of others) using a psychological model. Also includes comparisons between urban and rural communities, as well as across countries. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0246339

Hope this could be useful!

Hi I really enjoy your chapter so far but I do have a suggestion. For your section on 'How to prevent panic buying', I think it could be useful to include a section on education. Although government and retail intervention are great points, educating the public on why there is no need to panic buy and explaining consumer supply chains would be useful. Education could be described in radio or television ads, posters at stores, letters to households or website and digital marketing. I think this would be a great addition to your chapter! You could even use ACT Health's facebook page would supplied constant updates during the lockdown period. I hope this helps, if you have any questions please let me know :) --U3204463 (discuss • contribs) 09:55, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

What a very real and immediate topic. Love it! I would seriously consider if those pictures are 'legal' though Wikiversity simply because I noticed that when I used google images someone kept removing them from my page. Just a little tip. If they are licensed for wiki then you are all good. Also, the quiz someone has popped below for your use is a great idea, and I would keep on trying to be more interactive with some colour. Check out my chapter for some inspo:

Hey! I actually did an assignment a while back to do with COVID19 restrictions and did a little on panic buying. One of the main reasons I found was to do with prescriptive and descriptive norms, The government is saying to do one thing, yet media is showing the complete opposite. Anyway give this article a read its really interesting https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/spc3.12596 --U3202984 (discuss • contribs) 11:35, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
