Inoculation & Greenwashing: Defending Against Misleading Sustainability Messaging
This study sought to investigate whether an inoculation message could influence attitudes and purchase intentions toward sustainability apparel and footwear that some have claimed use ambiguous and misleading environmental claims. Participants (N = 156) were assigned to either an experimental condition in which they received an inoculation message or a control condition where they received a non-threat-inducing message. The results of the experiment indicated that participants in the inoculation condition were more likely than those in the control condition to both resist attitude change and buy sustainable products. These findings provide initial support for the effectiveness of inoculation in “vaccinating” against greenwashing information.
期刊介绍:
Communication Reports (CR), published biannually since 1988, is one of two scholarly journals of the Western States Communication Association (WSCA). The journal publishes original manuscripts that are short, data/text-based, and related to the broadly defined field of human communication. The mission of the journal is to showcase exemplary scholarship without censorship based on topics, methods, or analytical tools. Articles that are purely speculative or theoretical, and not data analytic, are not appropriate for this journal. Authors are expected to devote a substantial portion of the manuscript to analyzing and reporting research data.
