Sammendrag
The purpose of this research is to investigate how consumers can be influenced to act more

frequently on their ‘green’ values and attitudes. We test whether increased self-attention has

an effect on preference for the sustainable product and how the relationship is conditioned on

consumers ‘green identities’. We also explore whether there is a false consensus effect

present for the perceived commonness of one’s own opinion in regard to sustainable choices,

and if these consensus estimates are influenced by self-attention. In addition, we test whether

moral judgements regarding product preference is influenced by increased self-attention. A

framed field experiment was conducted to collect data for this research and to capture the

effect of manipulated self-attention. The results show that self-attention has a negative effect

on preference for the sustainable product when an individual’s environmental consciousness

is high. We do not find an effect of self-attention on either consensus estimates or moral

judgements. However, results do indicate the presence of a true false consensus effect for

people who chose the regular product. The results reveal an opposite effect for consumers

who chose the sustainable product, where they underestimate the preference of others for

sustainable products. Additional findings also highlight what has been argued by previous

research, namely that personal identity is an important influence on consumer behaviour.

Keywords: Green Identity, Sustainable Behaviour, Self-Attention, Self-Awareness, False

Consensus Effect, Product Preference, Environmental Consciousness.
