An understanding of the various motivational determinants of environmental consumer behavior is developed based on Batson's (1987) model of prosocial behavior. A correlational study finds support for two independent determinants of environmental behavior, the first being motivation based on internal

Abstract
In this article, compromise effects are distinguished theoretically from attraction effects, which have received more research attention in the past. This article proposes and tests expectedโloss minimization under decision uncertainty as the underlying mechanism to explain compromise effects. Next, it examines the effects of a consumer's familiarity with the product and attributeโimportance structure on compromise effects. The empirical results demonstrate the negative influences of familiarity and asymmetry of attribute importance on compromise effects, as well as the mediating effect of attribute importance on the familiarityโcompromiseโeffect relationship. Further research directions are also discussed. ยฉ 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
