In many cases, consumers show positive attitudes towards sustainable consumption, but their behavior does not reflect their attitudes. In this webinar will address the topic of sustainable consumption from the perspective of consumer psychology.
One approach to understand this issue is to investigate the psychological conflicts related to sustainable consumption. For example, consumers may face difficult trade-offs between the sustainability and price or convenience of a product, which can increase the difficulty of sustainable consumption.
Fortunately, researchers are working on various solutions to support sustainable consumption, which are also discussed in the upcoming talk.
