<p><span lang="EN-GB">In this study, a survey has been carried out to analyse the purchase choice regarding several packaging options of four basic foods (water, milk, bread and meat). We conducted a segmentation by age to analyse whether the purchasing behaviour changes depending on this variable, and whether it is related to environmental attitudes measured on the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale and to recycling behaviour. Among the results we found that, although young people seem to be slightly more environmentally aware, this does not translate into more sustainable purchases.</span></p>

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of social capital within a community on the adoption of consumer eco-behaviour or environmentally sustainable behaviour of consumers. The authors draw on the behavioural perspective model (BPM) of consumer behaviour and social capital theory in arguing that social capital shapes a consumer’s knowledge of environmental issues and pro-environmental attitudes, which in turn influence a consumer’s perceived capability to engage in eco-behaviour. Design/methodology/approach – This study uses partial least squares approach to structural equation modelling of survey data involving 1,044 consumers in the Philippines. It involves testing of a measurement model to examine the validity and reliability of the constructs used in the study. This is followed by testing of the structural models to test the hypothesised relationships of the constructs. Findings – The results suggest the substantive influence of social capital on environmental knowledge, pro-environmental attitudes and eco-capability. Both knowledge and attitudes have positive effects on eco-capability, which in turn positively shapes eco-behaviour. Research limitations/implications – Future studies can examine how social capital as a multi-dimensional construct impacts context-specific consumer behaviour. Practical implications – Social and environmental marketing may focus on social network activation to encourage eco-behaviours of consumers. Social implications – Findings highlight the role of social capital within one’s community as a resource channel to encourage environmentally responsible consumer behaviour. Originality/value – The study extends the BPM by offering a social capital view as a more nuanced explanation of consumer eco-behaviour.

And Behavior

This study tested a model in which pro-environmental attitudes mediate the association between personality traits (locus of control and future orientation) and pro-environmental behavior. Two hundred and thirty participants completed measures of the above concepts and provided information about demographic variables known to be associated with pro-environmental behavior. Path analysis supported a double mediation model in which future orientation and pro-environmental attitudes (in this order) mediate the association between locus of control and behavior. Of the demographic variables, only age was directly associated with behavior. The results are discussed in light of the theory and previous findings. Keywords: future orientation, locus of control, mediation model, personality, pro-environmental behavior.
