Abstract

This article aims at conceptually analyzing environmental concern and at understanding Tunisian citizens’ attitude toward this concept and at determining a typology of the different profiles of ecologically concerned consumers (ECCs). The results show a three-dimension structure of ECCs and identify four types of consumer profiles.
