Abstract(in English) | This study explored whether cue of others in a purchase environment has an effect on purchase behavior for products with fair-trade labels among Japanese consumers. By manipulating cues of others, we assessed consumers' intentions to purchase fair-trade products under two different experimental situations of unmanned purchase environment: one was the agent condition, in which instructions of task were given from a clerk-like agent through the task (N=118), and the other was a control condition in which instructions of task were given from a text box (N=106). Results demonstrated that participants under the agent condition valuated fair trade higher than those under the anonymous condition, although participants both in the agent and the anonymous conditions were instructed that their responses would remain anonymous. These findings imply that implications of the presence of others, such as a clerk-like agent in an unmanned purchase environment, enhance ethical purchase intentions as with manned purchase environments. |
