Davey Boy 2.0 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 from Facts and Arguments:Greener than thou "Protecting the environment is seen as a liberal cause, but new research suggests that it may be just as much a 'limousine liberal' cause," Kevin Lewis writes in The Boston Globe. "Researchers were tipped off by surveys showing that people bought the Toyota Prius primarily because it made a personal statement, not because of environmental conservation. This led the researchers [at the University of Minnesota] to theorize that so-called green products allow people to signal not only their altruism but their ability to afford altruism. In other words, green products are now status symbols. In several experiments, people who first read a short story that primed thoughts about status competition were then more likely to prefer a green product. However, when status was taken out of the equation - by telling people that they'd be shopping in private or that the green product was cheaper - people were actually somewhat less likely to prefer the green product. These findings imply that marketers should sell green products as a form of luxury, rather than as a form of charity." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
