Exploring the Effect of Minimalism on Ethical Consumer Behavior

https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3387/15/9/330

The results reveal that minimalism, conceptualized as a value, significantly shapes environmentally responsible behavior by strengthening environmental identity and personal norms, which in turn drive ethical consumption choices. Moreover, environmental identity and personal norms sequentially mediate the relationships between biospheric values (β = 0.245, p < 0.001) and minimalistic values (β = 0.102, p = 0.003) and ethically minded consumption, supporting H11 and H12. The results presented in Table 6 indicate that minimalist values, biospheric values, environmental identity, and personal norms are significant factors influencing ethically minded consumption behaviors among Turkish consumers. By incorporating minimalism as a value influencing both environmental identity and personal norms, this study extends the VIP model, highlighting minimalism as a critical driver of ethical consumption alongside biospheric values. The sequential mediation of environmental identity and personal norms in the relationship between biospheric and minimalistic values and ethically minded consumption further supports the notion that values influence behavior indirectly through psychological constructs. Note: MIN = minimalism; EI = environmental identity; PN = personal norms; EMC = ethically minded consumption; BV = biospheric value.
