GPIS/Evidence
Method evidence record

GPIS

The Green Purchase Intention Scale (GPIS) measures consumers' stated willingness and likelihood of purchasing environmentally friendly products, including their intention to pay premium prices for eco-labeled goods and their perceived value of sustainable alternatives. Developed from consumer behavior and willingness-to-pay frameworks (Dodds, Monroe, & Grewal, 1991; expanded by Thøgersen and others), the GPIS bridges environmental attitudes and actual purchasing behavior, a critical gap in sustainability research. The scale is widely used in marketing research, environmental policy evaluation, and studies examining whether environmental concern translates into purchasing decisions.
