TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that consumers associate higher product ethicality with gentleness-related attributes and lower product ethics with strength-related ones, and as a consequence, the positive effect of product sustainability on consumer preferences is reduced when strengthrelated attributes are valued, sometimes even resulting in preferences for less sustainable product alternatives.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore sustainable consumption and consider possible roles for marketing and consumer researchers and public policy makers in addressing the many sustainability challenges that pervade the planet, and propose a macro-institutional approach to fostering sustainability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the potential of a theoretical framework, based on social cognitive theory (SCT), to inspire future research into sustainable consumption, which provides a dynamic perspective on sustainable consumption through exploring the interactive nature of personal, environmental and behavioral factors of consumption.

TL;DR: A conceptual model of product design is proposed and definitions for (a) product design and (b) the product design process are offered and suggestions for future research on product design are offered.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of personality on sustainable consumer behavior and found that more agreeable and more open consumers are more likely to place importance on and to act on social and environmental concerns.
