comportamento ambiental, comportamento do consumidor, consumo verde, sustentabilidadeResumo
A pesquisa comparou, através de uma análise multigrupo, o consumo verde entre consumidores adultos jovens no México e na Espanha. Assim, foi analisado o efeito de sua conexão com a natureza, a cidadania ambiental, o ativismo e a identidade social sobre o consumo verde. Uma metodologia quantitativa, explicativa e transversal foi desenvolvida e incluiu a aplicação de um instrumento a 447 jovens adultos mexicanos e 120 espanhóis. Os resultados primários relacionados ao consumo verde não sugeriram padrões diferentes de comportamento ambiental entre as amostras. Quando foram combinados, descobriu-se que a identidade social ambiental e a cidadania ambiental nem sempre se traduziam em consumo verde. No entanto, os consumidores adultos jovens, mais ligados à natureza, tinham maior probabilidade de consumir produtos ambientalmente amigáveis.
