Abstract

Consumer behavior Product choice Psychological aspects Studies Sustainable development
Using mixed methods, this research suggests that consumers perceive the environmental and social dimensions of sustainability as psychologically distinct in several meaningful ways. Specifically, we find that consumers perceive environmental (social) sustainability as more psychologically abstract (concrete) and demonstrate how these differences can be used to predict sustainable product choice.
