Abstract

Product lifespan extension (PLE) is the post-purchase practice of keeping products longer by continued use and/or repair. This two-study paper explores American and Spanish consumers’ perceptions of PLE as a sustainable anti-consumption behavior, and value-beliefs and motives behind their attitudes towards PLE of technology products. First, we demonstrate low awareness of PLE as a green behavior in both countries. Second, using behavioral reasoning theory, we show that personal value-beliefs such as long-term orientation, green consumption, materialism and price consciousness shape consumer reasoning (for and against) and attitudes towards PLE of tech products. The findings provide insight for increasing these behaviors.
