Abstract

While environmental concern is often conceptualized as a direct antecedent of environmental purchase intention, empirical findings in support of this relationship are inconsistent at best. This study consequently investigates the direct and indirect effects of environmental concern on environmental purchase intentions in an effort to better understand these inconsistent findings. This research, in terms of purpose is practical, and in terms of methodology is a survey which is based on an analysis of covariance model using structural equation modeling. The sample size of this study were selected randomly from 386 students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, which constitute a group of citizen, by using Cochran's formula. In accordance to results of this research, the mediating role of intentional and incidental learning strategies between environmental concern and environmental purchase intention is being confirmed. Consequentely, we can declare that, by using learning startegies we can guide individuals‘environmental concern toward environmental purchase intentions.
