Our findings generally support our suggestion that there is a trade-off in how product attributes influence purchasing intentions.
As expected, green product attributes were particularly important for purchasing intentions when the egoistic product attributes fulfilled consumers’ self interests (i.e. low price, familiar brand), thereby confirming hypothesis 1a.
However, in contrast to our expectations, also when consumers’ self interests were not fulfiled (i.e. high price, unfamiliar brand), green product attributes influenced purchasing intentions (hypothesis 1b), albeit to a lesser extent.
This implies that green attributes generally play a role in consumers’ purchasing intentions but that their influence is much stronger when a consumers’ product is
satisfactory on an individual level.
This is in line with other studies that showed that considering collective needs influences people’s behaviour and attitudes in addition to their individual
needs (e.g. Stern, 2000; Huijts et al., 2014).
