Involving Others in Sustainable Consumption: the Positive Impact of Exemplary Behavior
Drawing on theories of social observability, impression-management, and role-modeling, we find experimental support for the idea that encouraging others to engage in sustainable behavior causes consumers to take on social role model responsibilities. This has downstream effects on their motivation to engage in other exemplary behaviors (e.g., healthy food choices).
