Abstract: Green consumption is context-dependent, complex, and multifaceted. Research from environmental psychology, environmental sociology, cross-cultural communication, and consumer behavior is integrated to develop a set of six hypotheses and a new model for green consumption. The model proposes a composite cultural profile (including individual, social/relational, temporal, and biospheric factors) as a mediating variable between individual factors, behavioral intention, and green consumption. The model further proposes contextual factors (economic, social, political, and technological) as a moderating variable on individual attitudes, values and perceived control, individual cultural profile, behavioral intention, and green consumption. A systems approach addresses weaknesses in previous a-contextual models that do not take into account emotional, symbolic, and cultural factors embedded in consumer consumption decisions. The model may offer superior explanations for green consumption behaviors in non-W...

The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.
Reuben M. Baron,David A. Kenny +1 more
TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.
The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.
