Self-Construal, Construal Level and Collaborative Consumption in Developed and Emerging Markets

A pilot study demonstrates that consumers are more socially motivated to participate in collaborative consumption when an independent (interdependent) self-construal is combined with a concrete (abstract) construal level mindset. It is proposed for these effects to be tested on American (more independent) and Latin American (more interdependent) consumers.
