Research summary

Why do consumers who care about sustainability still choose fast fashion? Alice’s research examines how edutainment content marketing can influence more sustainable fashion choices. It explores the mediating roles of green perceived value (GPV), perceived knowledge, and consciousness for sustainable consumption (CSC) in bridging the attitude–behaviour gap. Grounded in the Value–Belief–Norm (VBN) framework, her study offers insights into how digital content strategies can shift consumer behaviour toward sustainability in the fashion industry.
