Understanding the inherent complexity of sustainable consumption: A social cognitive framework

Understanding collaborative consumption: Test of a theoretical model

“…In concert with Hamari et al (2015) and May et al (2008), we expect that perceptions of environmental (sustainability) benefits will motivate behavioral intentions in collaborative consumption environments. Several models of generalized sustainable consumption have been proposed by conservationists including values-beliefs-norms, motivationopportunity-abilities and more recently a social cognitive theory, which suggests that consumers both create their own behaviors and are a product of their environment and past behaviors 14 (Phipps et al 2013). A consumer's past behaviors with regard to sustainability will determine their understanding and perception of environmental benefits, which in turn will influence their overall perceived usefulness of an initiative.…”

“…This has led some to question whether it is actually necessary for consumers to buy and own so many assets, especially during a time of economic difficulty, or whether a new model in which people share what they have will contribute to better resource efficiency, social benefit and reduced environmental pollution. Thus, unifying these drivers, the concept of sustainable consumption has risen in perceived significance, defined as "consumption that simultaneously optimizes the environmental, social, and economic consequences of acquisition, use and disposition in order to meet the needs of both current and future generations" (Phipps et al 2013(Phipps et al : p. 1227.…”

Eco-Friendly Brands to Drive Sustainable Development: Replication and Extension of the Brand Experience Scale in a Cross-National Context

“…Sustainable consumption can be considered as consumption that focuses on optimizing the results of the purchase, usage, and disposal of products from the environmental, social, and economic perspectives, taking into account future generations [12,17].

A Qualitative Inquiry Of Generation Y Consumers’ Selection Attributes In The Case Of Organic Products

“…For example, Prime's first experience with a green product resulted in dissonance. In line with Prime's comment, Phipps, Ozanne, Luchs, Subrahmanyan, Kapitan, Catlin, Gau, Naylor, Rose, Simpson andWeaver (2013, p. 1229) suggest that past behaviour affects future behavioural intentions. For instance, researchers have observed a "licensing effect", whereby negative outcomes of pro-environmental behaviours tend to lead to the activation of anti-environmental behaviours (Mazar & Zhong, 2010, p. 498).…”
