這次要介紹的研究是探討集體主義/個人主義如何影響我們的消費行為,特別是在購買一堆東西,而非一樣東西的時候。在第一個實驗中採用是比較安格拉裔(我們一般認定的白人)和拉丁裔的實驗參與者,在購買手機及其配件時,是否會有不同的購買偏好。過去的研究顯示拉丁裔的個體較屬於集體主義,而安格拉裔較屬於個人主義。在實驗一開始他們會請實驗參與者針對手機及三個相關配件去選擇自己的顏色偏好(紅、藍、黑或白),針對每個項目他們可以選擇不同的顏色。在選擇完之後,他們會被告知,有一項東西已經沒有貨了,那他們會選擇:1)只買那些有貨的產品;2)重新選擇;3)不購買。結果顯示,拉丁裔的實驗參與者在被告知有一項東西已經沒有貨時有較低的比率(49% vs. 71%)會選擇只購買那些有貨的產品,顯示集體主義有可能會影響消費的行為。
關於綠建築的標準,讓我們先回到 1990 年,當時英國建築研究機構(BRE)首次發布有關「建築研究發展環境評估工具(Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method,BREEAM®)」,是世界上第一個建築永續評估方法。美國則在綠建築委員會成立後,於 1998 年推出「能源與環境設計領導認證」(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, LEED)這套評估系統,加速推動了全球綠建築行動。
