Femininity compensation theory: The influence of multimodal feminine accommodations on guests' green choices
Engaging in pro-environmental behavior can yield positive emotional benefits, though it typically requires effort. We propose that the femininity of accommodations, which is characterized by gracefulness, sensitivity, sweetness, and tenderness, conveys warmth to compensate for guests' eco-friendly efforts and thus encourage environmentally conscious choices. Through four pretests, three main studies, and an analysis of alternative explanations, we demonstrate that multimodal femininity cultivates a domestic ambiance. This ambiance provides emotional benefits that offset the perceived efforts of eco-friendly actions, a mechanism we term the femininity compensation effect. Consequently, it increases environmentally conscious decisions. Additionally, the warmth associated with femininity fulfills guests' perceptions of control within accommodation settings, fostering psychological ownership and further promoting pro-environmental behaviors. Notably, this femininity compensation effect is stronger among guests engaged in hedonic (versus utilitarian) travel and among female (versus male) guests.
