Consumption Value

Abstract This work deals with determination of rapid and precise methods to predict the amount of sewing thread needed to sew a garment using different chain stitches of the class 400 (from 401 to 407 chain stitches). At first, to avoid unused stocks, sewing consumption value was determined using a geometrical method (based on different chain stitch shapes). The prediction of the sewing thread consumption was proposed as a function of the studied input parameters, which are fabric thickness, stitch density, yarn linear density, and stitch width. Then, a statistical method based on the multilinear regression was studied. Geometrical and statistical results were discussed. Based on the R2 range, we concluded that the geometrical method is more accurate than the statistical one (from 98.16 to 99.19% and from 97.30 to 98.51%, respectively). Thus, this result encourages industrialists to use geometrical models to predict thread consumption. Also, all studied parameters, contributing to the sewing thread consumption behavior, were investigated and analyzed. The result shows that the most important parameters affecting thread consumption are stitch density followed by stitch width and fabric thickness. The yarn density has a low contribution on the thread consumption value.

Research Studies

Research studies related to ethical consumerism has been gaining increasing attention in the last decade due to growing importance with environmental pollution. Research studies pointed out a gap between ethical consumers’ behavior and intention which is common in Sri Lanka as well. Hence the study used emotions and self-identity as two key drivers which assist in exploring the intention-behavior gap that has not been researched so far. Therefore the research problem addressed is “whether the positive and negative emotions aroused as a result of consumer subjective evaluation to stimuli, impact on the ethically minded consumption behavior?”. The study focused only on environmental friendly electrical household appliances and the population is the academics and professionals who reside Gampaha and Colombo suburbs and who bought environmental friendly electrical household appliances within the last one year of duration. The unit of analysis is individual consumers and the convenience sampling method used. 200 individual respondents contributed to the study and the data collection was done through a self-administered questionnaire. The study has used Smart PLS 3.2 software and the results showed that the green stimuli characteristics and green self-identity significantly influence ethically minded consumer behavior and only positive emotions act as a significant mediator. Most importantly if the consumer’s perceived effectiveness is high, despite the presence of emotions ethically minded consumer behavior will be triggered more. In conclusion, marketers have to use positive emotions when creating the stimuli and should give more priority for assuring the individuals small step for protecting the environment.

The Relationship

The spillover effect of environmental behavior has been of wide concern in recent years. The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of household waste sorting on green consumption (behavioral spillover) and the possible psychological mechanisms involved in such spillover of environmental concern. Though it is important, insufficient attention has been paid to exploring the relationship, and the process of its formation, between waste sorting and green consumption. To narrow this gap, survey data collected in 2018 from 688 rural households from Shaanxi Province in western China were used. The propensity score matching method was employed to measure the effect of waste sorting on rural households’ green consumption. The mediating model was employed to investigate the path of influence in the relationship between waste sorting and green consumption. The results showed that waste sorting behavior positively spilled over into green consumption, with a net effect of 0.205. Environmental concern has a mediating effect on the relationship between waste sorting and green consumption behavior, with a mediating effect of 0.3177. In summary, household waste sorting behavior has a spillover effect on green consumption behavior as a result of the mediation effect of environmental concern. The results of this article fill in our knowledge on the spillover effects of waste sorting behavior in developing countries. Policy makers and regulators should vigorously advocate and implement waste sorting behavior, increase farmers’ concern for the environment, and promote their participation in green consumption behavior, so as to maximize the spillover effect.

The Impact

Faced with ecological environmental issues and a surge in the consumption of products in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, it is necessary to explore the effective driving mechanism of green consumption behavior. This study investigated the impact of publicity and education on green consumption behavior and explored the mediating effects of environmental values and the moderating effects of price sensitivity. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample of 500 questionnaires, which were randomly distributed by stratified random sampling to municipal government departments, public institutions, communities, streets, shops, and supermarket entrances in Lhasa, Shan Nan, and Xigaze in Tibet. Further, structural equation modeling was applied to derive data for statistical analyses. Publicity, education, and environmental values had a significant influence on green consumption behavior. Environmental values play a mediating role in the influence of publicity and education on green consumption behavior. Price sensitivity negatively moderates the relationship between publicity and education and environmental values; when considering the price of green consumption, the positive impact on environmental values is weakened by publicity and education. Furthermore, it moderates the mediating effect of environmental values. Publicity and education remain the primary intervention for promoting green consumption. Especially in areas with ethnic minorities, publicity and education in combination with the characteristics of ethnic areas should be used to promote the traditional Tibetan culture of respect for all life and to live in harmony with nature. Moreover, policies, regulations, and tax subsidies related to green consumption should be improved while reducing the negative impact of prices and other economic factors on the propensity to consume. These findings provide empirical evidence for the complex relationship between government intervention measures and urban residents’ green consumption behavior.
