AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

In this article, we review research on the discrepancy between consumers' high self-reported interest in sustainable products and these products' poor performance in the marketplace. We offer theoretically derived reasons for why framing sustainable products as "win-wins" (i.e., offering benefits to the self and to the greater good) might present a solution to this intention-behavior gap. Although prior research has typically found negative effects of win-win framing on sustainable consumption, we propose framing sustainable consumption as a win-win provides greater environmental, behavioral, and psychological benefits than framing it only in terms of benefits to the self or to the greater good. We discuss how these outcomes may operate due to differences in moral hypocrisy, licensing, and goal representation, and offer avenues for future research to test these moderators in an effort to improve the efficacy of win-win framing.

However, wine cannot be consumed extensively due to the presence of ethanol.

This paper examines the motivations and experiences of older French-speaking men who relocate to Thailand driven by the desire for a more fulfilling and liberated lifestyle that contrasts with their experiences in their home countries. Through an analysis of video interviews with 31 expatriates available online, the study reveals a prevalent trend among these men to initially engage in short-term sexual relationships, enjoying the freedoms of Thailand's vibrant social scene. However, as they acclimate to their new environment, a significant shift towards long-term partnerships is observed, marking a transition from transient interactions to more meaningful connections.
