How to SHIFT Consumer Behaviors to be More Sustainable:A Literature Review and Guiding FrameworkKatherine White, Rishad Habib, & David J. HardistyUBC Sauder School of BusinessAbstractHighlighting the important role of marketing in encouraging sustainable consumption, the current research presents a review of the academic literature from marketing and behavioral science examining the most effective ways to shift consumer behaviors to be more sustainable. In the process of the review, the authors develop a comprehensive framework for conceptualizing and encouraging sustainable consumer behavior change. The framework is represented by the acronym SHIFT, and it proposes that consumers are more inclined to engage in pro-environmental behaviors when the message or context leverages the following psychological factors: Social influence, Habit, Individual self, Feelings and cognition, and Tangibility. The authors also identify five broad challenges to encouraging sustainable behaviors and use these to develop novel theoretical propositions and directions for future research. Finally, the authors outline how the framework can be used by practitioners aiming to encourage sustainable consumer behaviors.Keywords: sustainable consumer behavior, environmentally friendly behavior, ecological behavior, corporate social responsibilityMore than 15,000 scientists from 184 countries issue “warning to humanity”: A similar warning was first issued by scientists in 1992….

Rather than merely targeting the green consumer, marketers can expand their market for the long-term mutual benefit of the firm and the planet. Thus, as firms operate and offer products and services in a more sustainable manner they might, at the same time, wish for their sustainable values and actions to be recognized, embraced, and rewarded by consumers in ways that spur sustainable consumption and maximize the firm’s sustainability and strategic business benefits.

Research efforts have sought to identify, analyze, and understand the “green consumer.” Initial marketing and economics research, focusing on purchasing activities, has been complemented by research from fields such as industrial ecology and sociology, providing a more holistic picture of green consumption as a process. Much of the research has focused on areas with the greatest environmental impacts, namely peoples' homes and household management, their food choices and behaviors, and their transport behaviors for work, leisure, and travel. The emerging picture of green consumption is of a process that is strongly influenced by consumer values, norms, and habits, yet is highly complex, diverse, and context dependent.

The first intended contribution of the present work, then, is to outline a comprehensive framework to help both practitioners and researchers encourage sustainable consumer behavior. On the practitioner side, access to a broader framework (including all the major factors from the literature) will allow for the most effective interventions to be developed. Second, the unique, process-driven focus of our framework (as opposed to the intervention focus of previous work) ensures that as technologies and societies change, our framework can easily be applied to new situations. Thus, a key contribution is that we offer a comprehensive set of tools firms can use as they pursue their sustainability and strategic business goals. Third, undertaking a more complete review allowed us to delineate a broader set of challenges to sustainable consumer behavior change, which can inform both practitioners and researchers. We discuss these challenges—the self-other trade-off, the long time horizon, the requirement of collective action, the problem of abstractness, and the need to replace automatic with controlled processes—in the theoretical-contribution section of the manuscript. Finally, we use these challenges to sustainable consumer behavior change to introduce a set of novel theoretical propositions to guide further conceptual development and future research.Shifting Consumers to Behave SustainablyAt first glance, it might appear that the goals and assumptions of marketing are incompatible with the goals and assumptions of sustainability.

We argue that, because of this apparent contradiction, marketing and sustainability are inextricably intertwined. We further take the optimistic view that marketing and behavioral science have much to say about how we might influence consumption to be more sustainable. We review the literature and highlight ways in which consumers can be encouraged to behave more sustainably. Our review of the literature has led to the emergence of the acronym SHIFT, which reflects the importance of considering how Social influence, Habit formation, Individual self, Feelings and cognition, and Tangibility can be harnessed to encourage more sustainable consumer behaviors. The SHIFT framework can help address the “attitude-behavior gap” that is commonly observed in sustainability contexts.

There is currently a perception, based on a number of factors, that it is too hard to be green, which creates a barrier to purchasing green products. Furthermore, some consumers were reluctant or resistant to participate in green consumption practices due to their unfavourable perceptions of green consumers and green messages. This article suggests that green perceptions may influence consumers' intention to purchase green products. Accordingly, it discusses the implications, and suggests avenues for future research.","DOI":"10.1007/s10551-014-2316-3","ISSN":"01674544","journalAbbreviation":"Journal of Business Ethics","author":[{"family":"Johnstone","given":"Micael-Lee"},{"family":"Tan","given":"Lay"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015",12,8]]}}},{"id":2153,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2153,"type":"article-journal","title":"Sustainable Consumption: Opportunities for Consumer Research and Public Policy,","container-title":"Journal of Public Policy & Marketing","page":"31–38","volume":"30","issue":"1","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Prothero","given":"Andrea"},{"family":"Dobscha","given":"Susan"},{"family":"Freund","given":"Jim"},{"family":"Kilbourne","given":"William E."},{"family":"Luchs","given":"Michael G."},{"family":"Ozanne","given":"Lucie K."},{"family":"Th?gersen","given":"John"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2011"]]}}}],"schema":""} (Johnstone and Tan 2015; Prothero et al. 2011).

Drawing on theories of attribute centrality (the degree to which an attribute is integral in defining an object), the authors argue that products with identical environmental benefits will be judged more or less green depending on whether the benefit stems from a central versus a peripheral attribute. They present four studies that support the hypotheses and explore factors that influence the effect of central attributes, including product category membership and integration of the green attribute with other elements of the product. They include controls for firm motivations and importance of the attribute to the individual consumer. The authors conclude the article with managerial and public policy implications, such as advice for firms on where to make green investments for maximum consumer impact and insight for public policy makers on the need for consumer assistance in objectively evaluating products with identical environmental benefits that achieve those benefits in different ways.","DOI":"10.1509/jm.13.0303","ISSN":"0022-2429","shortTitle":"What Makes It Green?","journalAbbreviation":"Journal of Marketing","author":[{"family":"Gershoff","given":"Andrew D."},{"family":"Frels","given":"Judy K."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014",10,24]]}}}],"schema":""} (Gershoff and Frels 2014)—for example, 66% of consumers (73% of millennials) worldwide report being willing to pay extra for sustainable offerings ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"aqje2f3slt","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Nielson 2015)","plainCitation":"(Nielson 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2711,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2711,"type":"webpage","title":"Consumer-Goods' Brands That Demonstrate Commitment to Sustainability Outperform Those That Don’t","abstract":"66% of Global Consumers Say They’re Willing to Pay More for Sustainable Brands—Up 55% From 2014. 73% of Global Millennials Are Willing to Pay Extra for Sustainable Offerings—Up...","URL":"","author":[{"family":"Nielson","given":""}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015",10,12]]},"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2018",1,7]]}}}],"schema":""} (Nielson 2015)—there is room to further encourage and support sustainable consumer behaviors.

In contrast, this research shows that the impact of corporate social responsibility can extend beyond public relations and customer goodwill to influence the way consumers evaluate a company’s products. Specifically, this research documents that acts of social goodwill—even when they are unrelated to the company’s core business, as in the case of charitable giving—can alter product perceptions, such that products of companies engaged in prosocial activities are perceived as performing better. More important, the data show that inferences drawn from a company’s prosocial actions are strong enough to alter the product evaluations even when consumers can directly observe and experience the product. The data further show that this effect is a function of the moral undertone of the company’s motivation for engaging in socially responsible behavior and is attenuated when consumers believe that the company’s behavior is driven by self-interest rather than by benevolence. By documenting that social goodwill can benefit consumer perceptions of product performance, these findings show that doing good can indeed translate into doing well.","DOI":"10.1086/680089","ISSN":"0093-5301","shortTitle":"Doing Well by Doing Good","journalAbbreviation":"J Consum Res","author":[{"family":"Chernev","given":"Alexander"},{"family":"Blair","given":"Sean"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015",4,1]]}}},{"id":2075,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2075,"type":"book","title":"The Triple Bottom Line: How Today's Best-Run Companies Are Achieving Economic, Social and Environmental Success-and How You Can Too","publisher":"John Wiley & Sons","publisher-place":"San Francisco, CA","source":"Google Scholar","event-place":"San Francisco, CA","shortTitle":"The triple bottom line","author":[{"family":"Savitz","given":"Andrew"},{"family":"Weber","given":"Karl"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2013"]]}}}],"schema":""} (Chernev and Blair 2015; Savitz and Weber 2013).

Unlike typical consumer decision-making, which classically focuses on maximizing immediate benefits for the self, sustainable choices involve longer-term benefits to other people and the natural world. While broader marketing strategies can be useful in this domain, marketers also need a unique set of tools to promote sustainability. We endeavor to outline the key drivers of sustainable consumption with one comprehensive framework. Our review of existing literature on sustainable consumption began with an initial selection of top marketing journals: Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Consumer Psychology, and Journal of Consumer Research. These behavioral marketing and consumer behavior journals are the most highly regarded in the field, with high impact factors (above 3.0), and they are all featured on the Financial Times Top 50 list. Using this set of journals, we conducted a literature search using specific keywords on Web of Science. The keywords included: sustainab* or ecolog* or green or environment* or eco-friendly and consum* or behavi* or choice or usage or adopt* or disposal. This set of papers was then read and grouped into themes, which formed the five factors in the SHIFT framework. We used these five categories because they emerged in our initial review as being the most frequently occurring concepts, and because they allowed us to summarize the literature on sustainable behavior change in an inclusive manner. In order to extend our review, we then searched the literature more broadly by using our first set of search terms and then replacing the third search word with more specific labels that were relevant to our five themes. We refined our search to include Behavioral Sciences, Business, Psychology Multidisciplinary, Economics, and Management journals. For example, for the first section on social influence we searched “social influence” and “norms.” Based on this, additional articles were identified in peer-reviewed academic journals in marketing, psychology, and economics. These articles were read and reviewed in terms of quality and relevance, which were determined via consensus among the authors before inclusion in our analysis. Our review identifies a set of 320 articles, some of which are used to frame the introduction (n = 40) and the rest represent the SHIFT factors (n = 280). Next, we discuss the five identified routes to sustainable consumer behavior change (refer to Web Appendix G for a summary of articles representing our SHIFT factors).THE SHIFT FRAMEWORKSocial InfluenceThe first route to influencing sustainable consumer behaviors is social influence.

Much of the research has focused on areas with the greatest environmental impacts, namely peoples' homes and household management, their food choices and behaviors, and their transport behaviors for work, leisure, and travel. The emerging picture of green consumption is of a process that is strongly influenced by consumer values, norms, and habits, yet is highly complex, diverse, and context dependent.

This is because most tools for increasing cooperation—such as reputation concerns1 and information about social norms2—are typically effective only for behaviours that are commonly practiced, or at least generally agreed upon as being desirable. Here we examine how advocates can successfully promote non-normative (that is, rare or unpopular) public goods. We do so by applying the cultural evolutionary theory of credibility-enhancing displays3, which argues that beliefs are spread more effectively by actions than by words alone—because actions provide information about the actor’s true beliefs. Based on this logic, people who themselves?engage in a given behaviour will be more effective advocates for that behaviour than people who merely extol its virtues—specifically because engaging in a behaviour credibly signals a belief in its value. As predicted, a field study of a programme that promotes residential solar panel installation in 58 towns in the United States—comprising 1.4 million residents in total—found that community organizers who themselves installed through the programme recruited 62.8% more residents to install solar panels than community organizers who did not. This effect was replicated in three pre-registered randomized survey experiments (total n?=?1,805). These experiments also support the theoretical prediction that this effect is specifically driven by subjects’ beliefs about what the community organizer believes about solar panels (that is, second-order beliefs), and demonstrate generalizability to four other highly non-normative behaviours. Our findings shed light on how to spread non-normative prosocial behaviours, offer an empirical demonstration of credibility-enhancing displays and have substantial implications for practitioners and policy-makers.","URL":"","DOI":"10.1038/s41586-018-0647-4","ISSN":"1476-4687","journalAbbreviation":"Nature","author":[{"family":"Kraft-Todd","given":"Gordon T."},{"family":"Bollinger","given":"Bryan"},{"family":"Gillingham","given":"Kenneth"},{"family":"Lamp","given":"Stefan"},{"family":"Rand","given":"David G."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018",10,24]]}}}],"schema":""} (Kraft-Todd et al. 2018).On the other hand, injunctive norms convey what is perceived as approved (or disapproved) of by other people and can thereby influence sustainable behaviors ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"cjafpM4O","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Jachimowicz et al. 2018; Reno et al. 1993; Schultz et al. 2007)","plainCitation":"(Jachimowicz et al. 2018; Reno et al. 1993; Schultz et al. 2007)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":3365,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":3365,"type":"article-journal","title":"The critical role of second-order normative beliefs in predicting energy conservation","container-title":"Nature Human Behaviour","page":"757","volume":"2","issue":"10","source":"","abstract":"Analyses of data from 211 independent, randomized controlled trials (N?=?16,198,595) show that second-order normative beliefs—community members’ belief that saving energy helps the environment—play a critical role in promoting energy conservation.","DOI":"10.1038/s41562-018-0434-0","ISSN":"2397-3374","language":"En","author":[{"family":"Jachimowicz","given":"Jon M."},{"family":"Hauser","given":"Oliver P."},{"family":"O’Brien","given":"Julia D."},{"family":"Sherman","given":"Erin"},{"family":"Galinsky","given":"Adam D."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018",10]]}}},{"id":2762,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2762,"type":"article-journal","title":"The Transsituational Influence of Social Norms.","container-title":"Journal of Personality and Social Psychology","page":"104","volume":"64","issue":"1","source":"Google Scholar","author":[{"family":"Reno","given":"Raymond R."},{"family":"Cialdini","given":"Robert B."},{"family":"Kallgren","given":"Carl A."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["1993"]]}}},{"id":2083,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2083,"type":"article-journal","title":"The Constructive, Destructive, and Reconstructive Power of Social Norms","container-title":"Psychological Science","page":"429-434","volume":"18","issue":"5","source":"SAGE Journals","abstract":"Despite a long tradition of effectiveness in laboratory tests, normative messages have had mixed success in changing behavior in field contexts, with some studies showing boomerang effects.

Using a two-wave prospective design, two studies were conducted with samples of farmers (N=609 and N=259, respectively). At Time 1, a questionnaire survey assessed theory of planned behaviour variables in relation to engaging in riparian zone management (a sustainable agricultural practice). In addition, intergroup perceptions (i.e. relations between rural and urban groups), group norms and group identification were assessed. At Time 2, self-reported behaviour was measured. There was support for the integrated model across both studies. As predicted, past behaviour, attitudes and perceived behavioural control were significant predictors of intentions, and intentions significantly predicted self-reported behaviour. Group norms and intergroup perceptions were also significant predictors of intentions providing support for the inclusion of social identity concepts in the theory of planned behaviour. More supportive group norms were associated with higher intentions, especially for high-group identifiers. In contrast, more negative intergroup perceptions were associated with lower intentions and, unexpectedly, this effect only emerged for low-group identifiers. This suggests that in the context of decisions to engage in riparian zone management, an important sustainable agricultural practice, high identifiers are influenced predominantly by in-group rather than out-group considerations, whereas low identifiers may attend to cues from both the in-group and the out-group when making their decisions.","DOI":"10.1348/014466607X206792","ISSN":"2044-8309","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Fielding","given":"Kelly S."},{"family":"Terry","given":"Deborah J."},{"family":"Masser","given":"Barbara M."},{"family":"Hogg","given":"Michael A."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2008",3,1]]}}},{"id":2192,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2192,"type":"article-journal","title":"To Buy or Not to Buy?

There seems to be no relationship between perceptions of food as a source of enjoyment and intentions to buy sustainable products. Finally, social identification with the organic consumer is positively related with the intentions to buy products that make environmental and ethical claims. The current research demonstrates that both individual perceptions of food and consumers' perceptions of the social environment play an important role in promoting environmentally friendly and ethical behaviour.","DOI":"10.1111/ijcs.12067","ISSN":"1470-6431","shortTitle":"Consumers' willingness to buy products with environmental and ethical claims","journalAbbreviation":"International Journal of Consumer Studies","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Bartels","given":"Jos"},{"family":"Onwezen","given":"Marleen C."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014",1,1]]}}}],"schema":""} (Bartels and Hoogendam 2011; Bartels and Onwezen 2014).

A series of five experiments reveal that ethical purchases polarize moral judgments: whereas individuals receiving government assistance are perceived as less moral when choosing ethical (vs. conventional) products, income earners, particularly high-income individuals, are perceived as more moral for making the identical choice. Price is a central component of this effect because equating the cost of ethical and conventional goods provides those receiving government assistance some protection against harsh moral judgments when choosing ethically. Moreover, earning one’s income drives perceptions of deservingness, or the right to spend as one desires. Those who receive assistance via taxpayer dollars are under greater scrutiny (frequently resulting in harsher moral judgments) by others. In addition to influencing perceptions of individual consumers, the results demonstrate that such attributions extend to groups who make ethical choices on others’ behalf, and that these attributions have real monetary consequences for nonprofit organizations.","DOI":"10.1093/jcr/ucv096","ISSN":"0093-5301","shortTitle":"Wealth and Welfare","journalAbbreviation":"J Consum Res","author":[{"family":"Olson","given":"Jenny G."},{"family":"McFerran","given":"Brent"},{"family":"Morales","given":"Andrea C."},{"family":"Dahl","given":"Darren W."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016",4,1]]}}},{"id":2147,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2147,"type":"article-journal","title":"Self-Presentational Barriers to Resource Conservation","container-title":"Environment and Behavior","page":"328–353","volume":"27","issue":"3","language":"fr","author":[{"family":"Sadalla","given":"Edward K."},{"family":"Krull","given":"Jennifer L."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["1995"]]}}},{"id":2141,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2141,"type":"article-journal","title":"Can “Real” Men Consume Ethically?

Many environmentally relevant behavior patterns are frequent, stable, and persistent. There is an increasing focus on understanding these patterns less in terms of deliberative processes and more in terms of habits and routines embedded in everyday life. Examinations of the ‘habitual’ nature of environmentally consequential activities have been approached from two theoretically distinct perspectives. From a social psychological perspective, ‘habit’ is studied as an intra-individual psychological construct that sustains ingrained behavior patterns in stable settings and obstructs adoption of more environmentally friendly alternatives. Sociologists from the social practice tradition, in contrast, have sought to highlight the ways in which resource-intensive ‘habitual practices’ become established and maintained in society through a commingling of material, procedural, and socio-discursive elements. We reflect critically upon key theoretical differences underpinning these two approaches to repetitive behaviors and review empirical work from both traditions that speaks to the relevance of ‘habitual behavior patterns’ central to addressing climate change. Finally, we examine how changes in habits are theorized and operationalized within both social psychological and social practice approaches, and practical implications for promoting environmentally sustainable societies.

Several international organizations and national governments have addressed this issue, but, thus far, their efforts have had minimal effect. This paper examines the conditions necessary for the implementation of policy able to effectively reduce the environmental impact of household consumption. It draws from the experience of American tobacco control, a relatively rare example of a public effort that succeeded in reducing the negative consequences of an entitled consumer behaviour. An extensive review of the tobacco control literature informs the conclusion that three fundamental changes brought about conditions conducive to a widespread reduction in smoking, namely, information about its negative effects became common knowledge and was widely believed as true; cigarettes became a target for taxes that raised the price of smoking while placing a penalty on a behaviour increasingly seen as ‘bad’; the public sentiment regarding smoking shifted, deglamourizing the behaviour.

Many environmentally relevant behavior patterns are frequent, stable, and persistent. There is an increasing focus on understanding these patterns less in terms of deliberative processes and more in terms of habits and routines embedded in everyday life. Examinations of the ‘habitual’ nature of environmentally consequential activities have been approached from two theoretically distinct perspectives. From a social psychological perspective, ‘habit’ is studied as an intra-individual psychological construct that sustains ingrained behavior patterns in stable settings and obstructs adoption of more environmentally friendly alternatives. Sociologists from the social practice tradition, in contrast, have sought to highlight the ways in which resource-intensive ‘habitual practices’ become established and maintained in society through a commingling of material, procedural, and socio-discursive elements. We reflect critically upon key theoretical differences underpinning these two approaches to repetitive behaviors and review empirical work from both traditions that speaks to the relevance of ‘habitual behavior patterns’ central to addressing climate change. Finally, we examine how changes in habits are theorized and operationalized within both social psychological and social practice approaches, and practical implications for promoting environmentally sustainable societies.

Recycling behavior of the participants was observed by the actual amount of paper and the number of plastic cups in their personal wastebaskets. Following a pre-measure, participants were assigned to either implementation intention conditions, conditions in which an eye-catching facility was placed to promote recycling behavior, or control conditions. Recycling behavior was substantially improved in the facility as well as the implementation intention conditions in week 1 and week 2 and still 2 months after the manipulation.

Sometimes, the option of green service is implied as the default and consumers can opt-out, while in other cases consumers need to explicitly ask ( opt-in) for switching to a green service. This research examines the effectiveness of choice architecture and particularly the different default policies-i.e., the alternative the consumer receives if he/she does not explicitly request otherwise-in engaging consumer green behavior. In four experiments, we show that the opt-out default policy is more effective than the opt-in, because it increases anticipated guilt. This effect is stronger for consumers who are less conscious for the environment (Study 1).We also show that a forced choice policy, in which the consumer is not automatically assigned to any condition and is forced to choose between the green and the non-green service option, is more effective than the opt-in policy and not significantly more effective than the opt-out policy (Study 2). Finally, we show that the role of defaults is weakened (enhanced), if a negotiated (reciprocal) cooperation strategy is used (Study 3).

Interventions were implemented using door hangers delivered to each household over a 4-week period. Results showed significant increases from baseline in the frequency of participation and total amount of recycled material for the individual (i.e., personal norm) and the group feedback (i.e., descriptive norm) interventions. None of the interventions altered the amount of contamination observed.

In two studies conducted in real-world hotels, the authors show that consumers’ conservation behavior is affected by the extent to which consumers perceive the firm as being green. Furthermore, consumer perceptions of firms’ greenness and consumer conservation behavior depend on (1) whether the firm asks consumers to conserve resources, (2) the firm’s own commitment to the environment, and (3) the firm’s price image. In addition, firm requests to consumers to save resources can create consumer reactance and can backfire when firms themselves do not engage in visible costly environmental efforts. Such reactance is more likely for firms with a high-price image. Finally, the authors show that by spending a little money to signal environmental commitment, firms can save even more money through consumers’ conservation of resources, resulting in wins for the firm, the consumer, and the environment.","DOI":"10.1509/jmr.14.0441","ISSN":"0022-2437","shortTitle":"Turning Off the Lights","journalAbbreviation":"Journal of Marketing Research","author":[{"family":"Wang","given":"Wenbo"},{"family":"Krishna","given":"Aradhna"},{"family":"McFerran","given":"Brent"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016",8,3]]}}}],"schema":""} (Wang, Krishna, and McFerran 2016).

A decrease in commitment to well-being goals (e.g., sustaining the natural environment) may stem from people's failure to achieve everyday subgoals (e.g., failing to recycle a newspaper). Four experiments in three contexts (i.e., consumer overspending, environmentally friendly behaviors, and charitable donations) show that when people perceive the endgoal as unimportant, even a single behavioral failure may reduce commitment to a well-being endgoal and weaken future intentions to perform behaviors that improve their quality of life. In addition, goal importance moderates the adverse relationship between subgoal performance and endgoal commitment.

However, relatively little is known about how product sustainability affects consumers' preferences. The authors propose that sustainability may not always be an asset, even if most consumers care about social and environmental issues. The degree to which sustainability enhances preference depends on the type of benefit consumers most value for the product category in question. In this research, the authors demonstrate that consumers associate higher product ethicality with gentleness-related attributes and lower product ethicality with strength-related attributes. As a consequence of these associations, the positive effect of product sustainability on consumer preferences is reduced when strength-related attributes are valued, sometimes even resulting in preferences for less sustainable product alternatives (i.e., the “sustainability liability”). Conversely, when gentleness-related attributes are valued, sustainability enhances preference. In addition, the authors show that the potential negative impact of sustainability on product preferences can be attenuated using explicit cues about product strength.","DOI":"10.1509/jmkg.74.5.18","ISSN":"0022-2429","shortTitle":"The Sustainability Liability","journalAbbreviation":"Journal of Marketing","author":[{"family":"Luchs","given":"Michael G."},{"family":"Naylor","given":"Rebecca Walker"},{"family":"Irwin","given":"Julie R."},{"family":"Raghunathan","given":"Rajagopal"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2010",9,1]]}}},{"id":1926,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":1926,"type":"article-journal","title":"When Going Green Backfires: How Firm Intentions Shape the Evaluation of Socially Beneficial Product Enhancements","container-title":"Journal of Consumer Research","page":"823-839","volume":"41","issue":"3","source":"academic.","abstract":"Many companies offer products with social benefits that are orthogonal to performance (e.g., green products). The present studies demonstrate that information about a company's intentions in designing the product plays an import role in consumers' evaluations. In particular, consumers are less likely to purchase a green product when they perceive that the company intentionally made the product better for the environment compared to when the same environmental benefit occurred as an unintended side effect. This result is explained by consumers' lay theories about resource allocation: intended (vs. unintended) green enhancements lead consumers to assume that the company diverted resources away from product quality, which in turn drives a reduction in purchase interest. The present studies also identify an important boundary condition based on the type of enhancement and show that the basic intended (vs. unintended) effect generalizes to other types of perceived tradeoffs, such as healthfulness and taste.","DOI":"10.1086/677841","ISSN":"0093-5301","shortTitle":"When Going Green Backfires","journalAbbreviation":"J Consum Res","author":[{"family":"Newman","given":"George E."},{"family":"Gorlin","given":"Margarita"},{"family":"Dhar","given":"Ravi"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014",10,1]]}}},{"id":2125,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2125,"type":"article-journal","title":"Positive and Negative Spillover of Pro-Environmental Behavior: An Integrative Review and Theoretical Framework,","container-title":"Global Environmental Change","page":"127–138","volume":"29","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Truelove","given":"Heather Barnes"},{"family":"Carrico","given":"Amanda R."},{"family":"Weber","given":"Elke U."},{"family":"Raimi","given":"Kaitlin Toner"},{"family":"Vandenbergh","given":"Michael P."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014"]]}}}],"schema":""} (Luchs et al. 2010; Newman, Gorlin, and Dhar 2014; Truelove et al. 2014), effort ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a1nudsgpkrk","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Johnstone and Tan 2015)","plainCitation":"(Johnstone and Tan 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1927,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":1927,"type":"article-journal","title":"Exploring the Gap Between Consumers' Green Rhetoric and Purchasing Behaviour","container-title":"Journal of Business Ethics","page":"311-328","volume":"132","issue":"2","source":"EBSCOhost","abstract":"Why do consumers who profess to be concerned about the environment choose not to buy greener products more regularly or even at all? This study explores how consumers' perceptions towards green products, consumers and consumption practices (termed green perceptions) contribute to our understanding of the discrepancy between green attitudes and behaviour. This study identified several barriers to ethical consumption behaviour within a green consumption context. Three key themes emerged from the study, 'it is too hard to be green', 'green stigma' and 'green reservations'. There is currently a perception, based on a number of factors, that it is too hard to be green, which creates a barrier to purchasing green products. Furthermore, some consumers were reluctant or resistant to participate in green consumption practices due to their unfavourable perceptions of green consumers and green messages. This article suggests that green perceptions may influence consumers' intention to purchase green products. Accordingly, it discusses the implications, and suggests avenues for future research.","DOI":"10.1007/s10551-014-2316-3","ISSN":"01674544","journalAbbreviation":"Journal of Business Ethics","author":[{"family":"Johnstone","given":"Micael-Lee"},{"family":"Tan","given":"Lay"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015",12,8]]}}}],"schema":""} (Johnstone and Tan 2015), or affordability ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"vg9h1mXQ","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Chang 2011; Gleim et al. 2013; Hughner et al. 2007)","plainCitation":"(Chang 2011; Gleim et al. 2013; Hughner et al. 2007)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":3269,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":3269,"type":"article-journal","title":"Feeling ambivalent about going green","container-title":"Journal of Advertising","page":"19–32","volume":"40","issue":"4","source":"Google Scholar","author":[{"family":"Chang","given":"Chingching"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2011"]]}}},{"id":2817,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2817,"type":"article-journal","title":"Against the Green: A Multi-Method Examination of the Barriers to Green Consumption","container-title":"Journal of Retailing","page":"44–61","volume":"89","issue":"1","source":"Google Scholar","shortTitle":"Against the green","author":[{"family":"Gleim","given":"Mark R."},{"family":"Smith","given":"Jeffery S."},{"family":"Andrews","given":"Demetra"},{"family":"Cronin Jr","given":"J.

Two studies generally support the hypothesized relationships and demonstrate links to the broader theory of values. However, the biospheric value orientation postulated in the theoretical literature on environmentalism does not differentiate from social-altruism in a general population sample.

It presumes that action in support of environmental quality may derive from any of three value orientations: egoistic, social-altruistic, or biospheric, and that gender may be implicated in the relation between these orientations and behavior. Behavioral intentions are modeled as the sum across values of the strength of a value times the strength of beliefs about the consequences of environmental conditions for valued objects. Evidence from a survey of 349 college students shows that beliefs about consequences for each type of valued object independently predict willingness to take political action, but only beliefs about consequences for self reliably predict willingness to pay through taxes. This result is consistent with other recent findings from contingent valuation surveys. Women have stronger beliefs than men about consequences for self, others, and the biosphere, but there is no gender difference in the strength of value orientations.","DOI":"10.1177/0013916593255002","ISSN":"0013-9165","journalAbbreviation":"Environment and Behavior","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Stern","given":"Paul C."},{"family":"Dietz","given":"Thomas"},{"family":"Kalof","given":"Linda"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["1993",9,1]]}}}],"schema":""} (Guagnano, Dietz, and Stern 1994; Stern, Dietz, and Kalof 1993).

We collected primary data from 521 respondents as input, establishing validity through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Our empirical results of structural equation modeling (SEM) show that extended TPB has higher predictability than TPB and TRA in green marketing settings. Consumer attitude and perceived behavioral control significantly predicts purchase intention whereas subjective norm does not. Our findings also suggest that TPB mediates the relationship between environmental concern and green products purchase intention. An additional construct in the new model considerably contributes to improving the understanding of green products purchase intention formation and could become a sustainable mainstream variable.

Based on this assumption, we propose an integrated theoretical framework for understanding behaviour change that identifies two routes to encourage pro-environmental behaviour. First, the conflict between goals can be reduced by decreasing the (hedonic and gain) costs of pro-environmental choices. Although this route is important when pro-environmental choices are very costly, it may not result in sustained pro-environmental actions. Second, normative goals can be strengthened. This strategy may encourage pro-environmental actions, even when it is somewhat costly. We propose that the strength of normative goals depends on values and situational factors that influence the accessibility of these values. We discuss theoretical implications of our reasoning, and indicate how the integrated framework adopted in this paper may advance theory development and environmental policy making.

For that reason, it seems necessary to analyse the variables that shape this consumer profile. In this study, we have focused on psychographic variables and, in particular, on personality features. Following a survey with a random sample of 573 individuals, we designed a theoretical model which included the Big-Five Factor Structure scale and the environmental attitude dimension referred to as “actual commitment” to measure personality and ecological behaviour, respectively. We carried out several principal factor analyses in order to validate these scales and afterwards, we performed a structural equation analysis and a logit analysis. Findings support our hypotheses since they reveal that personality is a multifaceted concept, which is positively related to ecological behaviour. Firms should focus on those people who are characterised by personality features such as extroversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness in order to persuade them to demand their products.

The number of these influences suggests that understanding pro-environmental concern and behaviour is far more complex than previously thought. The influences are grouped into 18 personal and social factors. The personal factors include childhood experience, knowledge and education, personality and self-construal, sense of control, values, political and world views, goals, felt responsibility, cognitive biases, place attachment, age, gender and chosen activities. The social factors include religion, urban-rural differences, norms, social class, proximity to problematic environmental sites and cultural and ethnic variations We also recognize that pro-environmental behaviour often is undertaken based on none of the above influences, but because individuals have non-environmental goals such as to save money or to improve their health. Finally, environmental outcomes that are a result of these influences undoubtedly are determined by combinations of the 18 categories. Therefore, a primary goal of researchers now should be to learn more about how these many influences moderate and mediate one another to determine pro-environmental behaviour.","DOI":"10.1002/ijop.12034","ISSN":"0020-7594","note":"WOS:000335627400001","shortTitle":"Personal and social factors that influence pro-environmental concern and behaviour","journalAbbreviation":"Int.

Population-based, cross-sectional surveys were conducted among 1202 respondents in Portland OR and Houston TX between June and September 2007 regarding awareness, concern, and behavior change related to climate change. The data were subjected to both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Awareness about climate change is virtually universal (98% in Portland and 92% in Houston) with the vast majority reporting some level of concern (90% in Portland and 82% in Houston). A multivariate analysis revealed significant predictors of behavior change: individuals with heightened concern about climate change (p<0.001); respondents with higher level of education (p= 0.03); younger compared with older individuals (p<0.001); and Portlanders more likely to change behavior compared with Houstonians (p<0.001). Of those who changed behavior, 43% reported having reduced their energy usage at home, 39% had reduced gasoline consumption, and 26% engaged in other behaviors, largely recycling. Qualitative data indicate a number of cognitive, behavioral, and structural obstacles to voluntary mitigation. Although consumers are interested in global climate change–mitigation strategies and willing to act accordingly, considerable impediments remain. Government policy must eliminate economic, structural, and social barriers to change and advance accessible and economical alternatives.

According to CEST, people operate by two information-processing systems, a predominantly conscious, verbal, rational system and a predominantly preconscious, automatic, experiential, learning system. The two systems operate in parallel by different rules and are interactive. The influence of the experiential system on the rational system can account for everything that the psychoanalytic unconscious can and, unlike the latter, to do so in a manner consistent with evolutionary principles and cognitive science. An extensive research program is described that provides support for many of the assumptions in CEST, including the operating principles of the experiential system and the interaction of the two systems. The implications of the theory are discussed for psychotherapy and psychological research. According to CEST, there are three basic ways in which psychotherapeutic change can occur: by using the rational system to correct the experiential system, by learning directly from emotionally significant experience, and by communicating with the experiential system in its own medium (e.g., fantasy, imagery, metaphor). It is important in research to take into account the two processing systems and their influence on each other, rather than following the more customary procedure of assuming there is a single, unified system.","URL":"","ISBN":"978-0-471-26438-5","note":"DOI: 10.1002/0471264385.wei0507","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Epstein","given":"Seymour"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2003"]]},"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2018",6,13]]}}},{"id":3058,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":3058,"type":"article-journal","title":"A Psychological Perspective on Economics","container-title":"American Economic Review","page":"162–168","volume":"93","issue":"2","source":"Google Scholar","author":[{"family":"Kahneman","given":"Daniel"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2003"]]}}},{"id":3056,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":3056,"type":"book","title":"Thinking, Fast and Slow","collection-title":"Thinking, Fast and Slow","publisher":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","publisher-place":"New York, NY, US","number-of-pages":"499","source":"APA PsycNET","event-place":"New York, NY, US","abstract":"In the highly anticipated Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities—and also the faults and biases—of fast thinking, and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behavior. The impact of loss aversion and overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the challenges of properly framing risks at work and at home, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning the next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives—and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.

The authors explore this assertion in the context of two empirical studies that investigated the role of visual, and iconic, representations of climate change for public engagement respectively. Results demonstrate that although such representations have much potential for attracting people's attention to climate change, fear is generally an ineffective tool for motivating genuine personal engagement. Nonthreatening imagery and icons that link to individuals' everyday emotions and concerns in the context of this macro-environmental issue tend to be the most engaging.

Survey findings from Study 1 showed that high guilt was more impactful on women and helped generate favorable attitudes and behavior. The experiment for Study 2, based on the theory of psychological ownership, elicited a moderate level of guilt using advertisements related to egoistic and biospheric concerns.

In Study 1, participants were randomly assigned to learn their carbon footprint was larger or smaller than the average United States' citizen. Participants confronted with a larger-than-average carbon footprint reported more personal guilt, but not shame or anger, than participants who learned they had a smaller-than-average carbon footprint. In Study 2, participants confronted with evidence that Americans had a larger carbon footprint than other industrialized nations reported more collective guilt, but no less collective pride, than participants who learned Americans had a smaller carbon footprint.

Consumers who believe that their decisions can significantly affect environmental and social issues are more likely to behave sustainably. Little is known, however, about how perceived consumer effectiveness can be increased. We find that feelings of guilt and pride, activated by a single consumption episode, can regulate sustainable consumption by affecting consumers' general perception of effectiveness. This paper demonstrates the impact that guilt and pride have on perceived consumer effectiveness and shows how this effect rests on the ability of these emotions to influence perceptions of agency. After experiencing guilt or pride, consumers see themselves as the cause of relevant sustainability outcomes. The process of causal attribution associated with these emotions influences consumers' use of neutralization techniques. Through the reduction in consumers' ability to neutralize their sense of personal responsibility, guilt and pride positively influence perceived consumer effectiveness. The inability to rationalize-away their personal responsibility, persuades consumers that they affect sustainability outcomes through their decisions. The research advances our understanding of sustainable consumption and identifies a new avenue for the regulation of individual consumer behavior that has significant implications for the development of sustainable marketing initiatives.","DOI":"10.1007/s10551-013-1841-9","ISSN":"01674544","shortTitle":"Feelings that Make a Difference","journalAbbreviation":"Journal of Business Ethics","author":[{"family":"Antonetti","given":"Paolo"},{"family":"Maklan","given":"Stan"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014",9,25]]}}}],"schema":""} (Antonetti and Maklan 2014).

Political ideology is examined as a moderator. The findings indicate that news images and texts that focus on climate-oriented actions can increase hope and, in the case of texts, decrease fear and anger, and these effects generally hold across the ideological spectrum. In turn, the influence of emotions on policy support depends on ideology: Hope and fear increase support for climate policies for all ideological groups but particularly conservatives, whereas anger polarizes the opinions of liberals and conservatives.

We report a natural experiment study, in which a pro-environmental tax was introduced in Finland, providing an economic benefit for cars with lower CO2 emissions. We examine 140,000 car acquisitions by male consumers, whose intelligence had been tested by Finnish Defense Forces. The results show that the CO2 emissions of cars acquired by consumers with higher intelligence dropped more after the introduction of the tax than the emissions of cars of consumers with lower intelligence. Specifically, intelligence had both a direct effect on responsiveness to the pro-environmental tax, and an indirect effect via income. The effect was more pronounced for numeric intelligence than verbal and spatial logic intelligence and of equal size as that of income and other demographics. This implies that intelligence is an empirically as well as theoretically relevant variable to study as a moderator to choices that are simultaneously pro-environmental and economical.","DOI":"","ISSN":"1057-7408","author":[{"family":"Aspara","given":"Jaakko"},{"family":"Luo","given":"Xueming"},{"family":"Dhar","given":"Ravi"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017"]]}}}],"schema":""} (Aspara, Luo, and Dhar 2017), education ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"wNvYUSCB","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Gifford and Nilsson 2014)","plainCitation":"(Gifford and Nilsson 2014)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":3167,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":3167,"type":"article-journal","title":"Personal and social factors that influence pro-environmental concern and behaviour: A review","container-title":"International Journal of Psychology","page":"141-157","volume":"49","issue":"3","source":"Web of Science","abstract":"We review the personal and social influences on pro-environmental concern and behaviour, with an emphasis on recent research.

The public knows too little science, it is claimed, to understand the evidence or avoid being misled1. Widespread limits on technical reasoning aggravate the problem by forcing citizens to use unreliable cognitive heuristics to assess risk2. We conducted a study to test this account and found no support for it. Members of the public with the highest degrees of science literacy and technical reasoning capacity were not the most concerned about climate change. Rather, they were the ones among whom cultural polarization was greatest. This result suggests that public divisions over climate change stem not from the public’s incomprehension of science but from a distinctive conflict of interest: between the personal interest individuals have in forming beliefs in line with those held by others with whom they share close ties and the collective one they all share in making use of the best available science to promote common welfare.","DOI":"10.1038/nclimate1547","ISSN":"1758-6798","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Kahan","given":"Dan M."},{"family":"Peters","given":"Ellen"},{"family":"Wittlin","given":"Maggie"},{"family":"Slovic","given":"Paul"},{"family":"Ouellette","given":"Lisa Larrimore"},{"family":"Braman","given":"Donald"},{"family":"Mandel","given":"Gregory"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2012",10]]}}},{"id":3258,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":3258,"type":"book","title":"Fostering sustainable behavior: An introduction to community-based social marketing","publisher":"New society publishers","source":"Google Scholar","shortTitle":"Fostering sustainable behavior","author":[{"family":"McKenzie-Mohr","given":"Doug"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2011"]]}}},{"id":2159,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2159,"type":"article-journal","title":"Social Marketing: A Pathway to Consumption Reduction?","container-title":"Journal of Business Research","page":"260–268","volume":"62","issue":"2","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Peattie","given":"Ken"},{"family":"Peattie","given":"Sue"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2009"]]}}},{"id":2135,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2135,"type":"article-journal","title":"Information, Incentives, and Proenvironmental Consumer Behavior.","container-title":"Journal of Consumer Policy","page":"461–478","volume":"22","issue":"4","language":"it","author":[{"family":"Stern","given":"Paul C."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["1999"]]}}}],"schema":""} (Kahan et al. 2012; McKenzie-Mohr 2011; Peattie and Peattie 2009; Stern 1999).

Yet, there are indications that consumers do not always act on these concerns, causing an attitude–behaviour gap. For consumers to make ecologically responsible purchases, they need relevant product environmental information. Therefore, marketers and firms are increasingly integrating more detailed environmental information in their offerings, including eco-labels with externally validated information. This study integrates consumers’ knowledge and trust in eco-labels with their environmental knowledge to determine how these affect pro-environmental consumer behaviour (PECB). The findings suggest environmental and eco-label knowledge is positively associated with attitudes towards the environment, and that positive environmental attitudes and trust in eco-labels affect PECB. This implies that firms, policy-makers and accreditation organisations (i.e. labelling) can educate consumers about eco-labels and the environment to increase PECB. Such strategies will also build consumer knowledge and trust in eco-labels, necessary for facilitating PECB.","DOI":"10.1080/0965254X.2016.1240219","ISSN":"0965254X","journalAbbreviation":"Journal of Strategic Marketing","author":[{"family":"Taufique","given":"Khan Md Raziuddin"},{"family":"Vocino","given":"Andrea"},{"family":"Polonsky","given":"Michael Jay"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017",11]]}}},{"id":1856,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":1856,"type":"article-journal","title":"Psychological Determinants of Paying Attention to Eco-Labels in Purchase Decisions: Model Development and Multinational Validation","container-title":"Journal of Consumer Policy","page":"285–313","volume":"23","issue":"3","source":"Google Scholar","shortTitle":"Psychological determinants of paying attention to eco-labels in purchase decisions","author":[{"family":"Th?gersen","given":"John"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2000"]]}}}],"schema":""} (Borin, Cerf, and Krishnan 2011; Taufique, Vocino, and Polonsky 2017; Th?gersen 2000).

Data was collected by means of an online survey implemented in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and Poland, with a total sample size of 4408 respondents. Respondents expressed medium high to high levels of concern with sustainability issues at the general level, but lower levels of concern in the context of concrete food product choices. Understanding of the concept of sustainability was limited, but understanding of four selected labels (Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance, Carbon Footprint, and Animal Welfare) was better, as some of them seem to be self-explanatory. The results indicated a low level of use, no matter whether use was measured as self-reported use of different types of information available on food labels or as use inferred from the results of a choice-based conjoint analysis. Hierarchical regression indicated that use is related to both motivation and understanding, and that both motivation, understanding and use are affected by demographic characteristics, human values as measured by the Schwartz value domains, and country differences. The results imply that sustainability labels currently do not play a major role in consumers' food choices, and future use of these labels will depend on the extent to which consumers' general concern about sustainability can be turned into actual behaviour.

As environmental sustainability attracts increased scrutiny, understanding end consumers’ pro-environmental behavior becomes imperative for various stakeholders in our highly networked marketplace – e.g. policymakers, businesses, consumers, the public and society at large.Design/methodology/approach Using data from the general public in the USA, the hypothesized relationships are tested using structural equation modeling (SEM).Findings The results indicate that if people find enjoyment in nature, believe in achieving a balance between “mankind” and nature, and believe that the benefits of conservation activities are going to accrue in the near term (present), they are more likely to engage in pro-environmental behavior at all levels – supportive, active and lifestyle.Research limitations/implications Although only one aspect of environmental sustainability – environmental conservation – is analyzed, these findings support assertions set forth in the theory of environmentally significant behavior (Stern, 1999), the norm-activation theory of altruism (Schwartz, 1973), the theory of reasoned action (Fishbein, 1979) and the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1985).Practical implications Messages about sustainability, environmental conservation and pro-environmental behavior should be framed using people’s fondness for and enjoyment of nature; should focus on present benefits of conservation; and should be targeted and differentiated for men, women and older people to encourage conservation behaviors among these differing demographic groups.Originality/value This study identifies three different levels of intensity of pro-environmental behavior – supportive, active and lifestyle – and empirically examines the relationships between these behavior types and the attitudinal antecedents revolving around time when the benefits of environmental conservation accrue, nature and human–nature interaction.","DOI":"10.1108/JCM-02-2016-1706","ISSN":"07363761","journalAbbreviation":"Journal of Consumer Marketing","author":[{"family":"Paswan","given":"Audhesh"},{"family":"Guzmán","given":"Francisco"},{"family":"Lewin","given":"Jeffrey"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017",8]]}}}],"schema":""} (Paswan, Guzmán, and Lewin 2017) and outlining clear steps to make a difference ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"D02ZyPsm","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(White et al. 2011)","plainCitation":"(White et al. 2011)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1786,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":1786,"type":"article-journal","title":"It's the Mind-Set That Matters: The Role of Construal Level and Message Framing in Influencing Consumer Efficacy and Conservation Behaviors","container-title":"Journal of Marketing Research","page":"472–485","volume":"48","issue":"3","source":"Google Scholar","shortTitle":"It's the mind-set that matters","author":[{"family":"White","given":"Katherine"},{"family":"MacDonnell","given":"Rhiannon"},{"family":"Dahl","given":"Darren W."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2011"]]}}}],"schema":""} (White et al. 2011).

Theoretical Implications and Directions for Future ResearchIn our literature review, we identified five routes to sustainable behavior change, while delineating specific behavior-change strategies within each route. The focus of the review portion of this manuscript has been to identify what the main drivers of sustainable consumer behavior are, according to existing research. In this next section, we will go further to highlight a set of theoretical propositions regarding when and why each of the routes to sustainable behavior change (i.e., the SHIFT factors) will be most relevant. We do so by outlining a set of key challenges that make sustainable consumption distinct from typical consumer behaviors—the self-other trade-off, the long time horizon, the requirement of collective action, the problem of abstractness, and the need to replace automatic with controlled processes. We examine each of these challenges to sustainable consumer behavior change via the lens of our SHIFT framework and outline key theoretical propositions and directions for future research. The Self-Other Trade-Off. Our first challenge to sustainable consumer behavior is that such actions are often perceived as having some cost to the self, be it increased effort, increased cost, inferior quality, or inferior aesthetics (Luchs and Kumar 2017). At the same time, sustainable consumer behaviors make positive environmental and social impacts that are external to the self ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"YbBAl5AC","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Campbell and Winterich 2018)","plainCitation":"(Campbell and Winterich 2018)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"Jay23g76/XEk0OutY","uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":7265,"type":"article-journal","title":"A Framework for the Consumer Psychology of Morality in the Marketplace","container-title":"Journal of Consumer Psychology","page":"167-179","volume":"28","issue":"2","source":"Wiley Online Library","abstract":"This article is part of the issue “Marketplace Morality”","DOI":"10.1002/jcpy.1038","ISSN":"1532-7663","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Campbell","given":"Margaret C."},{"family":"Winterich","given":"Karen Page"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018",4]]}}}],"schema":""} (Campbell and Winterich 2018).

The self-other trade-off has implications for how social influence might operate in the context of encouraging sustainable consumer behaviors. Although sustainable consumption often comes at some cost to the self, we suggest that identity signaling can be a self-relevant positive repercussion that can outweigh the costs of sustainable action.

Moreover, work could examine how to activate even broader, more transcendent construals of the self, encompassing not only the self and close others but also other species and the biosphere. Encouraging such transcendent self-views might effectively increase eco-friendly actions. P2: Encouraging the self-concept to be seen as broader than the self (either interdependent or transcendent) will lead to increases in sustainable behaviors. At the same time, a specific focus on the individual self might be linked to sustainable actions in a way that overcomes uncertainty and is motivating.

However, recent developments in psychology and neuroscience suggest that our behaviors and the outcomes they produce can be primed and implicitly guided by environmental cues and yet are accompanied by experiences of self-agency.

For example, sustainability might be linked to positive feelings about design when it is in the context of innovative, out-of-the-box thinking; Tesla, for example, capitalizes on such associations. Further, it seems likely that sustainability has positive associations with health, with local and fresh food, and with the outdoors and nature.

Relative to sustainable behaviors, most traditional consumer behaviors have consequences that are more immediate. Many payoffs linked to sustainability are so far off in the future that they will not even be observed in the consumer’s own lifetime. We call this challenge the long time horizon. The notion of the long time horizon is related to the individual self in that it is linked to self-control. Indeed, self-regulation research demonstrates that people have a difficult time regulating the self to forgo benefits in the present for longer-term payoffs in the future ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"HcJpV3ql","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Muraven and Baumeister 2000)","plainCitation":"(Muraven and Baumeister 2000)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":3093,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":3093,"type":"article-journal","title":"Self-regulation and depletion of limited resources: Does self-control resemble a muscle?","container-title":"Psychological Bulletin","page":"247","volume":"126","issue":"2","source":"Google Scholar","shortTitle":"Self-regulation and depletion of limited resources","author":[{"family":"Muraven","given":"Mark"},{"family":"Baumeister","given":"Roy F."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2000"]]}}}],"schema":""} (Muraven and Baumeister 2000). Sustainable behaviors present a unique self-regulation dilemma. While most self-regulatory acts involve holding off on some positive reward now in order to receive a later payoff that reflects a self-relevant goal (e.g., not eating ice cream in the present so one can fit into a favorite dress on an upcoming vacation), sustainable behaviors involve putting off something positive now for a future positive outcome that is not only temporally distant but broader than the self (not purchasing that sporty car to reduce carbon emissions, the effects of which will only be realized in the future and will benefit the environment and other people). While one would think that the self-control literature has much to say about sustainable behavior change, little work has explicitly looked at the role of self-regulation in determining sustainable actions.

Given that many sustainable behaviors require an effortful cost to the self in the short term for an uncertain future payoff, examining the dynamics of self-control in this domain could be productive. It’s possible that sustainable behaviors require even more self-control than other self-control behaviors. For example, the same action (e.g., being vegan) could be positioned in terms of sustainability versus health goals, and it may be that self-regulation is more likely to fail for sustainability reasons given that such behaviors have less clear future implications for the self. Work might examine this and consider how to enhance self-regulation in the sustainability domain. One idea is interventions to make the natural world part of the extended self, thereby transforming future environmental benefits into self-benefits, which could improve self-regulation. P8: Those whose regulatory resources are somehow limited will be more likely to lapse in terms of engaging in sustainable behaviors (vs. other types self-control behaviors). The long time horizon associated with sustainable behavior is related to feelings in that people often have to undergo hedonic costs to the self now in order to maximize some positive sustainable outcome in the future.

Future research could profitably examine the longitudinal effects of different interventions on sustainable behaviors. Moreover, a dichotomy that is highlighted by our framework is short-term versus long-term focus of the different behavior-change strategies. While some of the constructs are driven by the immediate context and lead to short-term behavior change, other constructs lead to more enduring behavior change over the long term. For example, while habit-formation tools and feelings and cognition tools that focus on in-the-moment behavior shaping can be effective in the current context, once they are removed, sustainable actions can disappear. It may be optimal to ensure a balance of in-the-moment behavior-shaping tools (e.g., incentives, penalties, making it easy) with ways of making these behaviors last over time (e.g., relating the actions to the consumer’s morals, values, self-concept, self-consistency, etc.).

In order for the benefits of sustainable behaviors to be fully realized, they must be undertaken by a large group of people. This differs from traditional consumer behaviors, where the outcome is realized if the individual engages in the action alone. This is also distinct from other behaviors with a long time horizon like health-promotion behaviors (exercising and eating healthy) because these can be enacted at the individual level with observable results. The challenge of collective action is relevant to how social influence might operate when considering sustainable (vs. conventional) actions.

Consumers who believe that their decisions can significantly affect environmental and social issues are more likely to behave sustainably. Little is known, however, about how perceived consumer effectiveness can be increased. We find that feelings of guilt and pride, activated by a single consumption episode, can regulate sustainable consumption by affecting consumers' general perception of effectiveness. This paper demonstrates the impact that guilt and pride have on perceived consumer effectiveness and shows how this effect rests on the ability of these emotions to influence perceptions of agency. After experiencing guilt or pride, consumers see themselves as the cause of relevant sustainability outcomes. The process of causal attribution associated with these emotions influences consumers' use of neutralization techniques. Through the reduction in consumers' ability to neutralize their sense of personal responsibility, guilt and pride positively influence perceived consumer effectiveness. The inability to rationalize-away their personal responsibility, persuades consumers that they affect sustainability outcomes through their decisions.

We note that many unsustainable behaviors have become learned in ways that make them automatic rather than controlled in nature. Engaging in sustainable consumption thus often means (at least initially) replacing relatively automatic behavioral responses with more effortful new responses (like carrying one’s own shopping bag). This challenge can be related to habit formation.

P20: Rewarding small milestones will encourage consumers to continue engaging in environmentally friendly behaviors and help avoid green fatigue.The problem of abstractness also relates to the individual self. In fact, one way to combat the problem of abstract and uncertain outcomes might be to consider directly how they could impact the individual self. As we have seen, making sustainable impacts and outcomes seem local and relevant to the self can encourage sustainable consumer behaviors.

P23: Making the positive impact of sustainable behavior more certain in the present will result in greater pride and lead to greater likelihood of carrying out such behaviors.Feelings might also be linked to the problem of abstractness in another way.

Thus, when close others share emotions involved in carrying out sustainable behaviors it should be more effective at reducing abstractness by increasing the strength of the emotions we expect to feel when we engage in the behavior.P24: Social distance will lead to emotional contagion when emotional responses to sustainable behaviors are shared with others, such that close (vs. distant) others sharing how they experience positive emotions when carrying out sustainable behavior will make the benefits of the behavior seem more concrete.Finally, the problem of abstractness is linked to tangibility. One possible way to increase tangibility of actions and outcomes (and to make information less abstract) is to employ analogies. Because sustainability is an abstract and intangible concept, comparing a sustainable action or outcome to a familiar but disparate experience or example might facilitate greater connection of the consumer with the concept of sustainability. Thus, future work might examine the following:P25: When the action or behavior is sustainable (vs. traditional), analogies will be more likely to encourage consumer behavior change. How to Use the SHIFT Framework in PracticeOur SHIFT framework points to different tactics that can be used to influence sustainable consumer behaviors (Web Appendix A).

While our framework highlights the different drivers of sustainable behavior change, it can also be used to think about potential barriers to sustainable action. In particular, one way to use the framework is to consider the primary and secondary barriers to engaging in the desired behavior and then select relevant tactics to overcome these. A primary barrier refers to one that exerts the strongest avoidance response, while a secondary barrier is the factor that exerts the next strongest avoidance response on the part of the target consumer. Thinking about barriers in terms of the SHIFT factors—e.g., a barrier can be linked to social influence (the sustainable action is seen as socially undesirable) and habit (the existing unsustainable action is highly habitual)—can help the practitioner draw connections to what tools within the framework might facilitate change. We provide examples of possible focal consumer behaviors in Appendix C and potential strategies drawn from our framework based on the primary and secondary barriers to action in Appendix D. In one example of identifying primary and secondary barriers that explicitly relied upon the SHIFT framework, White and Simpson ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a1n5jigs5fj","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(2013)","plainCitation":"(2013)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1787,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":1787,"type":"article-journal","title":"When Do (and Don't) Normative Appeals Influence Sustainable Consumer Behaviors?","container-title":"Journal of Marketing","page":"78–95","volume":"77","issue":"2","source":"Google Scholar","author":[{"family":"White","given":"Katherine"},{"family":"Simpson","given":"Bonnie"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2013"]]}},"suppress-author":true}],"schema":""} (2013) gathered data on the motives of residents who were hesitant to engage in grasscycling (i.e., composting grass by allowing it to decompose naturally). They discovered that this was due to barriers related to social norms (the primary barrier: the norm was that nobody was engaging in the behavior and that it did not seem approved of) and individual factors (the secondary barrier: the behavior was perceived to be costly to the self). The authors developed and tested two different solutions that addressed the key barriers, and they did so by using strategies related to social norms and the individual self. These researchers created messages that were delivered to residents on door hangers and tracked residential grasscycling practices over time (both before and after the intervention). First, when the individual was prompted to think of the collective self (“Think about how we as a community can make a difference”), descriptive norms (“Your neighbors are grasscycling—you can too”) and injunctive norms (“Your neighbors want you to grasscycle”) were most effective. Second, when the person was prompted to think about the individual self (“Think about how you as an individual can make a difference”), highlighting relevant self-benefits worked best (“Grasscycling improves your lawn quality”). By tackling the key barriers linked to social influence and the individual self, the authors increased sustainable behaviors in a large-scale field study. In another example, Our Horizon is a non-profit () with a mandate to discourage gasoline consumption from driving automobiles. Two focal barriers to decreasing gasoline usage are social factors (it is both socially normative and socially desirable to drive) and tangibility (consumers report uncertainty about the impacts of driving less). Our Horizon has responded by developing a strategy to target both social norms and tangibility. Our Horizon encourages local governments to implement warning labels on gas pumps, similar to the way many nations now place warning labels on tobacco packaging. The labels that the organization plans to implement serve to both a) help communicate what is normatively approved of and b) describe concrete and personally relevant local impacts (Appendix F). While we offer examples to illustrate the SHIFT principles in practice, it is important to recognize that different behaviors and segments will have unique barriers and benefits to behavior change. We include more examples of using barriers to identify tactics based on our Framework in Appendix E. As we have seen, thinking about the primary and secondary barriers to pro-environmental behavior change is one means by which marketers, policy makers, and non-profits can use the SHIFT framework. However, there is one important nuance: The practitioner should make sure that the tools employed are complementary rather than oppositional to each another.

Concluding ThoughtsA question with practical and theoretical implications is whether our framework can be applied to other behaviors such as prosocial actions or health behaviors, or if the factors are unique to sustainable behaviors. We conjecture that many of the facets of our framework may apply to the other positive behaviors as well. However, we note that there are some elements that may be unique to sustainable consumption. For example, health behaviors are not subject to the challenge of collective versus individual action to the same degree that sustainable behaviors are. While health-behavior change can collectively have positive economic and societal benefits (WHO 2015), health-behavior change also undeniably primarily has individual benefits ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"YG08xM9u","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(OECD and WHO 2015)","plainCitation":"(OECD and WHO 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":3132,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":3132,"type":"book","title":"Promoting Health, Preventing Disease The Economic Case: The Economic Case","publisher":"OECD Publishing","number-of-pages":"370","source":"Google Books","abstract":"A growing body of evidence from economic studies shows areas where appropriate policies can generate health and other benefits at an affordable cost, sometimes reducing health expenditure and helping to redress health inequalities at the same time.

While health and prosocial behaviors (e.g., charitable giving) both carry problems of tangibility, sustainable behaviors and outcomes are likely perceived as being even less tangible than health and prosocial behaviors. This is an open question for future research to explore, and applying the framework in other domains certainly has theoretical and practical potential.In sum, we have reviewed and categorized the behavioral-science literature, uncovering five broad psychological routes to encouraging sustainable consumer behavior change: Social influence, Habit, the Individual self, Feelings and cognition, and Tangibility. We anticipate that this SHIFT framework will be helpful in guiding practitioners interested in fostering sustainable consumer behavior. Moreover, we hope that this framework will assist researchers in conceptualizing different means of influencing sustainable consumer behavior and spur further research in this essential domain. At the end of the day, we hope that our framework will help stimulate sustainable consumer behavior change and allow firms wishing to operate in a sustainable manner in ways that can maximize both their sustainability and strategic goals.
