Understanding Global Impact and Voluntary Simplifier Lifestyles: a Value-Orientation Perspective of Anti-Consumption

The paper compares the value orientation of two conceptually different anti-consumption lifestyles: Voluntary Simplifier (VS) and Global Impact (GI). The results show the two groups have a positive relationship with the value of universalism, but while VS are self-directed, GI are not. Neither VS nor GI are associated with the value of security.
