Nudging for sustainable food choices : A quantitative study on how nudging in digital grocery stores can increase the share of sustainable choices (English)
Abstract [sv]

Överkonsumtion är idag ett stort problem och kött är en bidragande faktor till växthuseffekten. I Sverige lever vi idag som att vi har 4,2 jordklot vilket inte är hållbart i längden. Syftet med studien är att undersöka om företag genom nudgingtekniker kan påverka konsumenten att göra ett mer hållbart matval i digitala konsumtionsmiljöer. Studien har utgått från teorier från beteendeekonomi och konsumentbeteende där nudging ingår. En enkätundersökning har genomförts som riktade sig till respondenter i åldrarna 18-28 år där svarsfrekvensen blev 228 svar som senare utgjort grund för resultatet i studien. I resultatdelen har datan från den kvantitativa undersökningen presenterats i form av en deskriptiv analys med tre avsnitt, Paired Samples Proportions tester och Chi2-tester. Diskussion har därefter förts där resultatet har analyserats i relation till den teoretiska referensramen. Studien bekräftar tidigare forskning, däribland att flera nudingetoder kombinerade med varandra alstrar effekt. Hybridnudge och prisnudge identifieras som de mest effektiva metoderna för företag att tillämpa för att rikta in konsumenter mellan 18 och 28 år att välja det hållbara matalternativet vid digital konsumtion. Slutligen visar det deskriptiva resultatet att kvinnor påverkas av de undersökta nudgingmetoderna betydligt mer än män, vilket har visat samband genom Chi2-tester samt att åldersspannet 22 till 24 år är dem som influeras mest till att ändra sina konsumtionsmönster. 

Abstract [en]

Overconsumption is today a major problem and meat is a contributing factor to the greenhouse effect. In Sweden, we live today as if we have 4.2 globes, which is not sustainable in the long run. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether companies, through nudging techniques, can influence the consumer to make a more sustainable food choice in digital consumption environments. The study is written in Swedish and has been based on theories from behavioral economics and consumer behavior where nudging is included. A questionnaire survey has been conducted which was aimed at respondents aged 18-28 where the response rate was 228 responses which later formed the basis for the results of the study. In the results section, the data from the quantitative survey has been presented in the form of a descriptive analysis with three sections, Paired Samples Proportions tests and Chi2 tests. A discussion has then taken place where the results have been analyzed in relation to the theoretical framework of reference. The study confirms previous research, including that several nudging methods combined with each other produce a greater effect. Hybrid nudge and price nudge is identified as the most effective method for companies to apply to target consumers between the ages of 18 to 28 to choose the sustainable food option in digital consumption. Finally, the descriptive results show that women are affected by the investigated nudging methods significantly more than men, which has shown a relationship through Chi2-tests and that the age group 22 to 24 years old are the ones most influenced to change their consumption patterns.
