“…This study also revealed that preschoolers' ToM skills are not differentiated regarding gender, excluding the diverse belief tasks. In line with this finding, other studies had gender-neutral findings regarding young children's ToM abilities (Altun, 2018;Carr et al, 2018;Devine & Hughes, 2016;Wellman & Liu, 2004). However, the limited number of studies conducted with Turkish preschoolers (Sarı & Altun, 2018;Selcuk et al, 2018) found that girls outperformed the boys in ToM tasks, but also that the gender differences are more likely to be reported in older children with regard to socialization and gender roles (Calero, Salles, Semelman, & Sigman, 2013;Devine & Hughes, 2016).…”

Theory of mind (ToM) skills involve young children’s mentalizing ability to be aware of their own selves and other individuals’ thoughts, beliefs, desires, and intentions (mental states). The social cognition skills are essential for processing complex social relations and overcoming interpersonal difficulties in communication. Previous studies shed light on the relationship of parenting and demographics to children’s ToM skills, but do not examine the associations with both home environment and preschool education experiences. The goal of the present study is to investigate children’s preschool education experience, home literacy environment (HLE), and technology usage in relation to their ToM skills. Participants were 203 preschoolers and their parents. The study data were collected using a home literacy environment questionnaire (HLEQ), theory of mind scale, and a demographic information form. The findings revealed that (a) children’s ToM scores are not differentiated regarding gender, excluding the diverse belief tasks, b) children’s ToM performances were differentiated in favor of children who have internet access at home, c) HLE, child age, daily TV watching, household income, maternal education, preschool experience, and shared book reading explained 46% of the total variance of preschoolers’ ToM scores.

“…This has become a critical area of interest for both academics and practitioners alike, with scientists, business leaders, the media, and other stakeholders highlighting the importance of sustainable consumption. As consumers become more aware of the deforestation, water scarcity, loss of biodiversity, air pollution, and other challenges posed by environmental pollution and the depletion of natural resources [1], they are placing greater emphasis on factors such as eco-labeling, packaging recycling options, and organic compositions. These trends are driving society towards a more sustainable approach to consumption that is in harmony with the environment [2].…”

Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. Influencers have emerged as significant players in promoting sustainable consumption in recent years. With their reach and influence, they have the ability to sway consumer decisions and earn rewards from marketers. However, an influencer’s perceived importance and credibility among their followers is essential to their ability to persuade others. In this study, we utilized network theory and the theory of mind to scrutinize the impact of an influencer’s importance and credibility on sustainable consumption. We collected data from 427 consumers and conducted structural equation modeling (SEM) to test our hypotheses. Our findings indicate that an influencer’s importance has a positive impact on their credibility, which subsequently has a favorable impact on cognitive, affective, and conative sustainable consumption. These results confirm the importance and credibility of influencers in promoting sustainable consumption and provide insights into how social marketers and influencers can optimize their sustainable marketing strategies.

“…When this greenness can be reached only with customers onside, green consumption becomes a widely discussed topic. As individuals become more conscious of environmental pollution and the depletion of natural resources, eco-labelling, packaging recycling options, and organic compositions are gaining more attention [1]. These trends propel society towards a more sustainable approach to consumption that aligns with environmental preservation [2].…”

This paper aims to systematically review the existing literature to better understand multiple, complex facets of green consumption behaviour in the tourism sector and identify areas for future research. This review followed the PRISMA approach and analysed 92 studies published between 2009 and 2023 in high-impact journals. The present systematic review of scholarly studies on green consumption behaviour in tourism contributes to the existing literature, providing up-to-date research findings. Research has shown that studies on green consumption behaviour have predominantly centred on the accommodation industry. The Theory of Planned Behaviour has been widely utilised as a theoretical framework for such research. However, previous findings lack generalisability, and cross-cultural comparisons are insufficient. As a result, it is imperative to conduct additional research to create frameworks and models that can assist marketers in diverse cultural contexts. Additionally, expanding the scope of inquiry into green consumption behaviour within the tourism sector is crucial.
