Dynamics of environmental consciousness and green purchase behaviour: an empirical study (2017, background): “Attitude, intention and behaviour studies related to environment range from energy conservation (Paladino and Baggiere, 2008), to recycling (McCarty and Shrum, 1994), to environmental activism (Kilbourne and Pickett, 2008).”
Meditating for the Planet: Effects of a Mindfulness-Based Intervention on Sustainable Consumption Behaviors (2020, positive): “Materialism in turn is likewise negatively correlated with self-reported pro-environmental concerns and behaviors (Hurst, Dittmar, Bond, & Kasser, 2013; Kilbourne & Pickett, 2008), including frugal behaviors (Pepper, Jackson, & Uzzell, 2009).”
Emotions as determinants of electric car usage intention (2012, background): “The self-enhancing achievement and power value types have been shown to be negatively related to pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour (T.

Gray Shades of Green: Causes and Consequences of Green Skepticism (2017, background): “Market and academic research suggests that an increasing number of consumers are interested in purchasing products that are beneficial for the environment (Kilbourne and Pickett, 2008 ; Yates, 2009) and willing to pay a price premium for them”

Materialism and conspicuous consumption in China: a cross-cultural examination (2011, methodology): “The present study used nine items from the scale (see Richins, 2004; Kilbourne and Pickett, 2008) with three measures for each of the factors that comprise materialism.”
Using descriptive norm appeals effectively to promote green behavior (2018, background): “Prior research shows that consumers’ socio-demographic profiles (e.g., Granzin & Olsen, 1991) and level of environmental consciousness (e.g., Kilbourne & Pickett, 2008) may influence their environmental behavior.”
A closer look into the materialism construct: the antecedents and consequences of materialism and its three facets (2015, background): “In addition, materialism and environmentalism are negatively associated, replicating previous findings (Banerjee and McKeage, 1994; Kilbourne and Pickett, 2008).”
