Understanding the intention to buy secondhand clothing on sharing economy platforms: The influence of sustainability, distance from the consumption system, and economic motivations (2020, unknown): “This insight is even more relevant if we think that consumers are not born with unchangeable preferences, but rather “the ongoing interrelation between individuals and institutions shapes the value and belief system as well as the actual behavior” (Pedersen & Neergaard, 2006, p. 25).”
