We also investigated to which extent motivation, understanding and use are related to consumers’ pattern of life values, and found patterns largely consistent with the Schwartz theory of values: universalism is the dominant value domain influencing motivation, understanding and use of sustainability labels. Other value domains have smaller influences, and the pattern of results found by and large shows, as expected, that consumers putting higher emphasis on collectivistic as compared to individualistic values also pay more attention to sustainability issues in the context of food.
