This fact suggests that motives are very different from the ones of conspicuous consumption. But is that true? The aim of the study is to examine whether the motives for anti-consumption can be found in the motives for conspicuous consumption. The research question therefore is: What motives lie behind anti-consumption, and can these motives be found in classical conspicuous consumption? As part of a qualitative study, eight in-depth interviews were conducted in order to generate a broad range of motives for different anti-consumption behaviors. In addition to previously deductively determined motives for the renunciation, the motives obtained from these interviews were then inductively summarized in a motive scheme and subsequently compared to the motives of classical conspicuous consumption. As a result, there is a connection between the motives of anti-consumption and the motives of conspicuous consumption. While the primary motives for anti-consumption are not related to conspicuous consumption motives, there are secondary motives (supporting the primary motives) for anti-consumption that can also be assigned to conspicuous consumption. This implies that some kind of “conspicuous anti-consumption” is part of today's consumer culture.","PeriodicalId":305129,"journal":{"name":"Kiel Journal of Consumer Studies 1","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114330019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a qualitative research approach based on in-depth interviews,\u0000 four overarching categories are identified into which the consumption motives can be classified:\u0000 Individualism, saving expenses, sustainability and solidarity. While individualism and saving\u0000 expenses were most frequently mentioned in the interviews, sustainability and solidarity motives are\u0000 rather secondary for online second-hand consumption. In addition to the four above-mentioned, a\u0000 further category was identified that specifically highlights arguments in favor of purchasing second-\u0000 hand fashion online: Convenience. Consumers aim for the same shopping experience online that they\u0000 are used to from stationary thrift shops. However, not only is this feeling transported into the digital\u0000 world, but the value proposition is extended through search functions and learning algorithms. This\u0000 makes clear how technology is influencing purchasing behavior and thus shaping a new consumer\u0000 culture. Due to the power of second-hand fashion to represent one's own individuality and thus stand\u0000 out from the crowd, it becomes visible that when buying online second-hand fashion, elements of\u0000 conspicuous consumption also play a role. \u0000","PeriodicalId":305129,"journal":{"name":"Kiel Journal of Consumer Studies 1","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132387711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To inform\u0000 and reach various people, they use social media networks. However, as fashion consumption is often\u0000 being used as a representation of wealth and status, the question arises, whether the underlying\u0000 motives of the tribe to communicate on social media are altruistic or, on the contrary, promote\u0000 conspicuous consumption. This qualitative study explores the underlying motives of the tribe\u0000 communicating about sustainable fashion consumption on social media. The analysis of the nine\u0000 interviews show, that there are four main motives: altruistic, social, egoistic and prestige-related\u0000 motives. Even though the altruistic motives can be reconciled with the tribes’ principal values, the\u0000 results also show signs of conspicuous consumption in terms of prestige-related motives. When\u0000 posting on social media the tribe wants to inform about and influence its followers to a more\u0000 sustainable fashion consumption, but also wants to gain reputation and recognition for it. Still, it is\u0000 concluded that conspicuous consumption of sustainable fashion on social media can promote\u0000 sustainable consumption overall and having a positive effect on the environment.\u0000","PeriodicalId":305129,"journal":{"name":"Kiel Journal of Consumer Studies 1","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123296632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
