The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an effect between green product made by the company on the decision to buy green products among young consumers in Indonesia, using green product identification as a moderating variable. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis (MRA) techniques. Data were obtained through questionnaires to 200 young consumers. The results of this study indicate that green products have a significant and positive direct influence on the purchasing decisions of young consumers. However, when green product identification is included as the moderating variable, the indirect relationship pattern between green products has a positive but insignificant effect on the purchasing decisions of young consumers. Thus, it is concluded that the decision of young consumers to buy green products is actually determined by the awareness of the importance of green products, not green product identification.

The purpose of this study is to determine the concept of green marketing on Indonesian consumer behavior. The data analysis method was carried out by using regression analysis either partially or simultaneously. The results showed that the attitude and environment partially influenced the involvement of green products, while the attitude environment and the involvement of green products simultaneously influenced the involvement of Indonesian society in purchasing green products in selecting products. And the results of the simultaneous regression analysis from the ANOVA test with a significance level of 0.000. Because the significant probability is much smaller than 0.05, this indicates that simultaneously it states that there is an effect of attitude environment and the involvement of green products simultaneously influencing the involvement of green product purchases.

We investigated the influence of consumer innovativeness and public self-consciousness on green product purchasing behaviors (e.g., decision to purchase and pay a premium price). We conducted 2 experiments on 2 green products (mineral water and a car) with undergraduate students (N = 303) in Korea. The results revealed that consumer innovativeness played a generally marginal role in green product purchasing decisions, whereas public self-consciousness figured importantly in such decisions. However, public self-consciousness had no influence when products did not have logos identifying them as being green. In addition, the influence of the 2 variables on the purchasing behaviors was found to be contingent on the type of product. On the basis of these findings, we concluded that green product purchasing behaviors more closely reflect conspicuousness, rather than innovativeness.

To test the application of the CADM model to City Garbage Management, a simple linear regression was calculated to predict the dependent variables based on predictor variables according the CADM model. The linear regression analysis shows a first confirmation of the CADM model applied to the perception and attitudes towards city garbage management.
