Resumo: | Sustainable consumption behavior is a critical aspect of addressing current environmental challenges. This research study examines whether (1) manipulating connectedness to nature increases sustainable buying intentions. (2) whether state connectedness to nature is positively associated with sustainable buying intentions. (3) If selftranscendence mediates the relationship between state connectedness to nature and sustainable buying intentions. And (4) whether personal response efficacy moderates the relationship between state connectedness to nature and sustainable buying intentions. The study employs a between-subject video manipulation design, where participants in the manipulation condition were exposed to videos aimed at inducing connectedness to nature vs. a control video. Subsequently, they completed a questionnaire assessing their emotions (awe, admiration, gratitude), sustainable buying intentions, state connectedness to nature, self-transcendence, and personal response efficacy. The results demonstrated marginally significant differences induced through the manipulation, but no significant effects of the manipulation on sustainable buying intentions, rejecting the first hypothesis. State connectedness to nature was positively associated with sustainable buying intentions, supporting the idea that feelings of connectedness to nature influence sustainable choices. While self-transcendence demonstrated a positive correlation with state connectedness to nature, it did not mediate the relationship with buying intentions. The moderating role of personal response efficacy was also not significant. While acknowledging potential limitations in the sample and measurement tools, this research underscores the multifaceted nature of these constructs and the importance of considering them comprehensively. |

Este estudo de investigação examina se (1) a manipulação da ligação à natureza aumenta as intenções de compra sustentável. (2) se a ligação do estado à natureza está positivamente associada a intenções de compra sustentáveis. (3) Se a autotranscendência medeia a relação entre a ligação do estado à natureza e as intenções de compra sustentáveis. E (4) se a eficácia da resposta pessoal modera a relação entre a ligação do estado à natureza e as intenções de compra sustentáveis. O estudo utiliza um desenho de manipulação de vídeo entre sujeitos, em que os participantes na condição de manipulação foram expostos a vídeos destinados a induzir a ligação à natureza versus um vídeo de controlo. Posteriormente, preencheram um questionário que avaliava as suas emoções (espanto, admiração, gratidão), as intenções de compra sustentável, o estado de ligação à natureza, a auto-transcendência e a eficácia da resposta pessoal. Os resultados demonstraram diferenças marginalmente significativas induzidas pela manipulação, mas nenhum efeito significativo da manipulação nas intenções de compra sustentável, rejeitando a primeira hipótese. A ligação do estado à natureza foi positivamente associada às intenções de compra sustentável, apoiando a ideia de que os sentimentos de ligação à natureza influenciam as escolhas sustentáveis. Embora a auto-transcendência tenha demonstrado uma correlação positiva com a ligação do estado à natureza, não mediou a relação com as intenções de compra. O papel moderador da eficácia da resposta pessoal também não foi significativo. Embora reconhecendo as potenciais limitações da amostra e dos instrumentos de medição, esta investigação sublinha a natureza multifacetada destes construtos e a importância de os considerar de forma abrangente.Simão, Cláudia Patrícia CandeiasVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaSpilker, Gwen2024-01-172023-092025-02-07T00:00:00Z2024-01-17T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/43869TID:203476611enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-13T01:34:10Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/43869Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:37:56.816633Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
