This current study examines whether the level of social inclusion influences the pro-social behaviour of green consumption. We also examine whether specific groups of bystanders influence this behaviour. Thee hypotheses were formed: first, ostracism leads to less green consumption when no bystanders are present. Second, the presence of pro-environmental bystanders will lead to more green consumption, meanwhile the presence of anti-environmental bystanders will lead to less green consumption. Third, the influence of the bystanders on green consumption will be largest for ostracized individuals and smallest for over-included individuals. After a game of Cyberball to manipulate the level of inclusion, participants would choose a pro-environmental or conventional product. However, none of our hypotheses yielded significant results. Further research can focus more on the difference in gender eco-gap and the prices of the pro-environmental products in order to further battle a the current climate crisis.Show less
