“…If it were just a semantic by-product in these small-scale societies, the difference found with commoners in both would be unlikely. Finally, a differential understanding of harm to the environment across culture cannot account for our results since we do not observe an inversion of the side-effect effect in the two Mexican cohorts or Costa Rican sample that all depend on natural resources and agriculture for their survival (Cusack & Dixon, 2006;Eakin et al, 2014;Jurjonas, Crossman, Solomon, & Baez, 2016;Moguel & Toledo, 1999).…”

Variations in judgments of intentional action and moral evaluation across eight cultures

a b s t r a c tIndividuals tend to judge bad side effects as more intentional than good side effects (the Knobe or sideeffect effect). Here, we assessed how widespread these findings are by testing eleven adult cohorts of eight highly contrasted cultures on their attributions of intentional action as well as ratings of blame and praise. We found limited generalizability of the original side-effect effect, and even a reversal of the effect in two rural, traditional cultures (Samoa and Vanuatu) where participants were more likely to judge the good side effect as intentional. Three follow-up experiments indicate that this reversal of the side-effect effect is not due to semantics and may be linked to the perception of the status of the protagonist. These results highlight the importance of factoring cultural context in our understanding of moral cognition.

“…However, Jang, Kim and Lee (2005) found that green practices had a significant influence on the consumers' attachment to a particular store, which means that the role of the companies in promoting these quality labels is crucial (Kang et al, 2012), especially when considering the negative environmental effects of some production practices (Jurjonas et al, 2016). In this regard, Lange et al (2015) mention that consumers who are exposed to ethical information increase their interest in buying ethical products.…”

“…The Mexican tradition of coffee production started to be recognized in recent years, thanks to which Mexican coffee can now use some quality labels, such as Denomination of Origin for Veracruz and Chiapas (IMPI, 2000;, Fair Trade label, and the Organic Coffee label (USDA, 2014). México is one of the main organic coffee producers worldwide (Jurjonas et al, 2016), 63.02% of the organic coffee produced is exported (ICO, 2015).…”

Coffee is one of the main sources of foreign exchange for developing countries. Mexico accounts only 2.68% of the world coffee production, but represent the most important source of foreign exchange in the agricultural sector. The Mexican coffee began to be recognized in recent years, and despite the increase of the consumption, Mexico is not considered an important consumer. The objective was to analyse the motives for coffee consumption at coffee shops with quality labels. A national and a transnational company were selected in central Mexico to carry out a total of 600 questionnaires. The questionnaire had four sections: frequency of consumption, Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ), some images of coffee quality labels, and a socioeconomic. The data were analysed using multivariate statistics, factor and cluster analysis. Indifferent, Pragmatic and Hedonic-Dependent consumers were identified; who are mostly young and middle-aged, single, childless and college educated. Their interest in attending coffee shops is to socialize; they are not interested in quality labels which have negative implications for the use of this type of labels in Mexico.

“…However, there has been several researches on the urge to use such models to conserve the ecosystem while making sustainable profit. For instance, Jurjonas et al (2016) presents an investigation on how moving toward unsustainable models can put in danger the biosphere reserves. In the following a number of relevant literatures has been identified where sustainability of local business has been considered in biosphere reserves.…”

The goal of Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme is to support sustainable development through effective management, innovative technologies, policy suggestion and governance. Today, the concept of Biosphere Reserves plays an important role in scientific investigations, generating knowledge, and experiences to link socio-economic development and biodiversity conservation for human well-being. This research, through an independent study which takes place in the Hungarian Biosphere Reserves of Pilis and Kiskunság aims at identifying practical sustainable business models which are suitable for supporting livelihood of locals. In this research, the two Biosphere Reserves serve as the learning sites under the light of global principles and state-of-the-art-of knowledge on sustainable development and sustainable business models. To do so, the state-of-the-art-of sustainable business model has been investigated through a comprehensive academic research. The lessons that learned from this investigation are used to support the data gathering method and planning the field trips to identify the sustainable business models currently in use at the Biosphere Reserves. This research particularly had been interested in small-sized sustainable business models practiced by small communities or families in various zones of Biosphere Reserves. First set of interviews and questionnaires designed to identify the business models in practice. The results identify foraging the wild plants in the buffer zone and transition areas as a potential sustainable business model in practice. Further interviews and surveys were conducted with foragers shows the beneficial of their practice on the local ecosystem and in increasing awareness on the deep connection with the ecosystems. The sustainable business model of foraging in addition to providing a sustainable livelihood for the locals maintains a spiritual connection between people and land. The identified sustainable business model can further be educational and practical for other 685 biosphere reserves.
