Mindfulness and sustainable consumption: A systematic literature review of research approaches and findings

How green is your packaging—A comparative international study of cues consumers use to recognize environmentally friendly packaging

“…Increasing environmental destruction and its consequences, such as global warming, have led to growing awareness of the importance of sustainable development. This in turn has heightened consumer concerns about sustainable consumption and the impact of day‐to‐day purchasing decisions, prompting abundant research (Fischer, Stanszus, Geiger, Grossman, & Schrader, ; Geels, McMeekin, Mylan, & Southerton, ; Liu, Oosterveer, & Spaargaren, ; Pekkanen, Pätäri, Albadera, & Jantunen, ). Tied to both concerns is the tremendous amount of waste created every year, one of the main environmental problems moving forwards into the 21st century (Hoornweg & Bhada‐Tata, ).…”

Mindfulness Training at School: A Way to Engage Adolescents with Sustainable Consumption?

“…In recent years, (E)SC researchers have begun to consider mindfulness as potentially helpful to promote SCB [25][26][27]. Mindfulness has its origins in about 2500-year-old Buddhist practices [28] and has become a popular topic not only in the educational field, but also in a variety of other societal and scientific domains.…”

“…Despite the given lack of empirical evidence, MBIs that foster awareness, (self-)reflection, and ethical values are considered promising approaches to advance learning processes in ESC and support behavior change towards more sustainability. The literature review on mindfulness and sustainable consumption by Fischer et al [25] suggests that a key contribution that mindfulness can potentially make to the promotion of SC is its capacity to disrupt routines and automatic behavior, increase coherence between attitudes and behavior, enhance non-materialistic values, promote wellbeing, and leverage pro-social behavior and compassion. Another literature review on the mindfulness-sustainability relationship by Wamsler et al [26] corroborates these findings.…”

“…Hence, (E)SC researchers are called upon to consider mindfulness as a multi-facetted construct. Moreover, it is proposed to investigate more diverse target groups and employ more sophisticated research approaches including longitudinal, mixed methods, and intervention designs to overcome existing methodological flaws in the literature [25].…”

Proposição de um modelo teórico de intenção de consumo colaborativo entre idades

“…Paul, Modi e Patel (2016) em estudo semelhante, investigando neste caso o consumo de produtos verdes, identificaram que a atitude frente ao consumo verde, bem como as normas subjetivas, são fortes preditores da intenção de consumo verde.Os estudos relacionados ao meio ambiente ganha também grande prioridade no que se refere ao consumo, sendo de extrema importância no momento de desenvolver políticas para um desenvolvimento sustentável da sociedade. Considerando o impacto significativo das várias áreas de consumo, como alimentos, nutrição, mobilidade, habitação, entre outros, a busca por abordagens no sentido de promover o comportamento de consumo mais sustentável se tornou um fundamental para a área(FISCHER et al, 2017).No atual panorama de mercado, os consumidores enfrentam cada vez mais opções de produtos considerados "verdes", ou ambientalmente amigáveis, em oposição aos seus semelhantes tradicionais. Cada vez mais as organizações investem em linhas de produtos que são ambientalmente amigáveis.…”
