Abstract
Why do consumers who profess to be concerned about the environment choose not to
buy greener products more regularly or even at all? As mounting interest in proenvironmental
behaviour grows, the green-attitude behaviour gap has heightened the
need for alternative frameworks to explain this attitude-behaviour discrepancy. Based
on the findings from qualitative and quantities studies, this study identifies a five-factor
consumers’ green perceptions (CGP) scale that consists of "product performance",
"hard to be green", "green stigma", "green – do I feel responsible", and "readiness to be
green". The steps that were taken to develop the scale are discussed, followed by a brief
discussion on the application of the proposed scale.
