Going Green For Self Vs. Others: Gender and Identity Salience Effects on Green Consumption

This paper examines the effects of gender and identities on green consumption. Previous research shows that women are greener than men. However, we extend these findings by showing that social (vs. personal) identity changes the impact of gender on green consumption. This effect is mediated by self-transcendence values.
