## Abstract

The objective of this study is to explore the relationships among four key attributes—nutritional value, attitude, repurchase intention, and price fairness—in the context of the cereal product market. Additionally, the research investigates the moderating effect of price fairness on the relationship between nutritional value and consumer attitude using the low involvement theory as a theoretical underpinning. The study utilized the Clickworker platform to recruit 414 survey participants using an online survey, whose responses were analyzed using Hayes’ Process Macro Model 7. The findings reveal that nutritional value positively affects both consumer attitude and repurchase intention. Moreover, a significant positive relationship between attitude and repurchase intention was found. Importantly, price fairness was found to significantly moderate the relationship between nutritional value and consumer attitude, highlighting the role of perceived fairness in shaping consumer behavior. This research contributes to the literature by examining these relationships in the specific context of cereal products.
