This book analyses the importance of consumer behaviour in sustainable fashion and consumption. Consumer behaviour plays a major role in sustainability, and when it comes to textile products, a number of studies have shown that for certain product categories, consumer behaviour during use and disposal stages influences the entire life cycle impacts of the product more than the raw material and manufacturing stages. However green the production, the overall sustainability of a product depends on the consumers who use and dispose of it.

"Religion is an important part of individual lives, playing a major role in our decision making and puchasing. Understanding the influence of religion on consumer behaviour is therefore an essential practice for business. The COVID-19 pandemic has especially enhanced the influence of consumers' religiosity on their consumption decisions. This book concentrates on understanding the relationship of religiosity with various aspects of consumption and consumer behaviour to improve policy and build on an under represented topic. In this edited collection, expert contributors, academicians and researchers discuss the influence of religion on consumer behaviour in depth including the "dark side" of religion on consumers' consumption behaviour and religious cults. The chapters also explore the ethical issues surrounding consumption and the role of religion on branding and sustainable practices. With a broad perspective, the book draws on examples of practices from Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism . This book will be a particularly valuable resource for scholars and upper level students of marketing, consumer behaviour and consumer psychology. The interdisciplinary perspectives will also appeal to those studying sociology and globalization."--

This book applys insights from the fields of feminist, heterodox and behavioral economics to a study of consumption, focusing on its construction as a learned activity and a lifestyle choice.

AbstractHere the case of recreational drug consumption by youths in the West of Scotland is applied to evaluate some prevailing models of consumer satisfaction and dissatisfaction (CS/D). The findings suggest dissatisfactory and satisfactory outcomes do not always result in the types of future consumption behaviours proposed by some models of consumer CS/D. Although, as some models of CS/D suggest, satisfactory experiences tended to reinforce the desire to repeat consumption, when consumption was dissatisfactory, users tended to employ several strategies to justify further use. Whereas users attributed positive or pleasurable experiences to the narcotic effect of the substances consumed, dissatisfactory outcomes were attributed to other factors. Users develop sophisticated responses to dissatisfaction, such as deferment and denial. The findings have important implications for some theories and models of CS/D for consumer expectation: in particular, the effect of dissatisfactory experiences on future consumption intentions.

Ziel der im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums der Justiz und für Verbraucherschutz für den Sachverständigenrat für Verbraucherfragen durchgeführten Befragung ist es zu ermitteln, inwieweit die in Deutschland lebende Bevölkerung über das SDG 12 informiert ist, diesbezügliche Einstellungen und Erwartungen zu ermitteln und zu explorieren, wie die Bevölkerung ihr nachhaltigkeitsrelevantes Verhalten selbst einschätzt. Die Daten bilden eine empirische Grundlage für ein Gutachten des Sachverständigenrates zur Lage der Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher.

Die Befragung wurde im September 2020 mittels computergestützter telefonischer Interviews (CATI) von der forsa marplan Markt- und Mediaforschungsgesellschaft mbH (Berlin) durchgeführt. Befragt wurden 1.000 in Privathaushalten lebende deutschsprachige Personen ab 18 Jahren in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Die Auswahl der Befragten erfolgte im Dual-Frame-Ansatz auf Grundlage des ADM-Stichprobensystems für Telefonbefragungen.

Befragungsschwerpunkte sind Wissen und Assoziationen zu SDG 12, Bewusstsein für nachhaltigen Konsum (CSC-Skala), Nachhaltigkeitsliteracy, Ressourcenverbrauch, wahrgenommene Barrieren für nachhaltigen Konsum, Veränderung des Konsumverhaltens durch die COVID-19-Pandemie, Soziodemographie.
