Results

Many companies have focused on the message that anti-aging supplements for the elderly will help consumers become healthier, younger, and more beautiful. It has become clear that many catchphrases such as "obedience to authority figures," "snoop effect," "bandwagon effect," and "Charpentier effect" were adopted as behavioral psychological public relations strategies to promote product purchases.

Methods
Co-occurrence network analysis will also be performed on the high ranking, frequently spoken words. This analysis method groups and illustrates the groups of words from their simultaneous appearance (co-happening) in relation to the extracted word. Furthermore, categorization will be performed based on the groups identified by co-occurrence network analysis, and a category will be interpreted and named while checking the catch phrase itself and centering on the co-occurrence words. The Jaccard coefficient will be performed to determine the relevance of each occurrence pattern of the word. The KH Coder 3 will be used for analysis. We will also identify CFs that are expected to have behavioral effects that increase consumers' purchase intentions.
