In Proceedings of the European Marketing Academy, 48th (pp. 1-2). European Marketing Academy (EMAC). http://proceedings.emac-online.org/pdfs/A2019-8231.pdfEvolutionary needs have a profound influence on consumer choices. Unconsciously, the quest for the perfect appearance, as an attribute of quality and security, increases the waste of food with low aesthetics, products with different color or shape, usually called suboptimal food. However, there is an urgent need to improve food systems and food inequality, which waste reduction is a crucial calling. Drawing on construal level theory, this paper discusses that the level of abstractness can generate a reduction in the perceived risk of those products. Findings of two experiments show that construal level influences the way consumers perceive the risk when faced by products with low aesthetics. Specifically, we show that abstract construal can diminish the “beauty-is-good” bias and consequently, reduce waste behaviors. Our findings have critical implications for researchers, managers and public policy on how to engage consumers in sustainable and social responsible habits.European Marketing Academy (EMAC)Information Management Research Center (MagIC) - NOVA Information Management SchoolNOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS)RUNCastagna, Ana CarinaPinto, Diego CostaBarcellos, Marcia Dutra de2022-06-24T22:17:36Z2019-06-012019-06-01T00:00:00Zconference objectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion2application/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/140716engPURE: 44932220info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-05-22T18:02:51Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/140716Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T17:33:39.593758Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
