摘要
Drawing on behavioral reasoning theory, this study investigated drivers of young consumers' apparel donation behavior. By examining the impact of values (i.e., benevolence and power) and reasons (i.e., other-oriented reasons and self-oriented reasons) on attitudes, this study highlights the different motivations individuals have for donating clothing. As predicted, benevolence was positively related to other-oriented reasons for donations and power was positively related to self-oriented reasons for donations. Both other- and self-oriented reasons for donating influenced attitudes related to apparel donation behavior. These findings offer an overarching explanation for the seemingly disparate reasons for apparel donation previously identified.
