“…Also, the challenge to examine similar interventions in different settings should be accepted and spill‐over effects from behavioural changes in out‐of‐home settings to other times of food consumption should be focused on. Those spill‐over effects have been found to exist between work life and private life for a wide set of sustainability‐related behaviours (Muster, ) and specifically for dietary intakes of children in different studies of this review (i.e., Reynolds et al, ). Besides, we find that physical‐environmental and personal determinants generally have gained attention by far more studies than social influences and that studies mostly focus on one exclusive dimension of influencing factors and not on the interactive effects (see Figure ).…”

The transformation of food consumption in wealthy economies is regarded as an essential measure to reach global sustainability goals. However, existing policies and research activities to change food consumption in the increasingly relevant out-of-home sector relate to a wide set of options on how to influence behaviours and may be criticized to lack a general focus. Against this background, our study provides a structured review of the existing research body on the determinants of individuals' food choices and food consumption out-of-home. It structures the various research approaches and findings for 110 selected papers according to a general ecological framework where personal, social and environmental determinants for food behaviours are considered. By providing a collective overview and linking results for different behavioural aspects and settings, this study supports a more general understanding of consumer food behaviour in out-of-home settings. Consequently, it also provides a means to identify research gaps and to suggest relevant aspects for future research to draw from the combination of findings and to enhance sustainability in food consumption.

One of the 17 goals addresses more sustainable consumption and production patterns in order to '(. . .) reduce future economic, environmental and social costs (. . .)' and specifically focuses on food consumption and the dietary choices and habits of individuals (United Nations, 2016). Accordingly, the FAO (2016a) names lifestyles (e.g., symbolized by eating out-of-home) and diets (following trends) as two important aspects that have to be considered for improving sustainability at a global level.On the international level, many different activities and events for more sustainable consumption patterns take place [see the Sustainable Food Systems Programme (SFSP), established by FAO and UNEP in 2011]. Single policies within the European Union (EU) have been or recently are concerned with aspects of sustainable food consumption of individuals such as health (i.e., the third Health Program, European Commission, 2016) or the responsible use of scarce resources (i.e., the 'Stop Food Waste' initiative, European Union, 2016). These policies however also need to consider ongoing trends of lower relative overall household expenditures for food along with an increasing share of food consumed in out-of-home settings compared to in-home consumption (European Commission, 2011;Gracia & Albisu, 2001;Paddock, Warde, & Whillans, 2017). Therefore, the out-of-home consumption sector and especially group catering, which provides food to individuals on a more regular basis than individual gastronomy, should be considered as a relevant setting in which interventions with the aim to facilitate and...

“…Sustainable consumption is a major concern for societies and businesses nowadays. Sustainable consumption is the purchase and use of products with lower environmental impacts, such as biodegradable products, recycled or reduced packaging, and low energy usage (Follows and Jobber, ; Pedersen, ; Horne, ; Krause, ; Gordon et al ., ; Muster, ). On one side, public policy campaigns (e.g.…”

The aim of this study is to explore the effects of gender and salient identity on sustainable consumption. In particular, this research investigates how gender effects on sustainable consumption may be contingent to the identity that is salient to the consumer during the evaluation process (personal vs. social). According to identity‐based motivation theory, the salience of personal identity means that people temporarily think about themselves as individuals, whereas social identity salience means that people see themselves as part of a group. The results from an experimental study indicated that when personal identity was salient, female participants declared higher levels of sustainable consumption compared with male participants. However, when social identity was salient, male participants increased their sustainable consumption intentions to the same level as female participants. Finally, this research discusses the theoretical and managerial implications on identities, gender and sustainable consumption.

“…As users begin to realize the uprising consumption issues, they play an important role in driving sustainable development and growth (Fien & Tilbury, 2002). Practicing sustainable consumption focuses on the buying and use of less-impact products, including eco-friendly products, recycled and/or reduced packaging and low energy consumption (Muster, 2012;Dong, 2018).…”

The past decade witnessed the resurgence of sustainable consumption due to the strong support offered by companies, consumers, institutions, and society. Nevertheless, examination of sustainable consumption via bibliometric and network analyses is absent from the vast literature. In order to bridge this gap, a bibliometric analysis was performed on all publications related to sustainable consumption in the Scopus database for the period of 1974-2019. Upon analyzing 2352 articles, several parameters were determined, namely the trends in publications, the most popular journals, the productive countries of the most important countries, most of the studies cited and the list of keywords for further description (psychosocial factors).From the selected 160 journals, articles were most-frequently published in Sustainability Switzerland, while the Journal of Consumer Marketing ranked first for total citation. The emergence of sustainable consumption topic was spread across 120 countries and 159 academic institutions. This present study discovered that the United States dominated publication production, whereas Universität Göttingen in Germany was the most productive institution. Upon further systematic analysis using VOS viewer, 5333 keywords were listed. The top four clusters of psychosocial determinants were discussed in light of social norm, attitude, environmental concern, and perceived value. Building on the outcomes retrieved from this analysis, researchers may better plan their studies and contribute better insights of their empirical investigations.
