Front. Psychol. :. doi.fpsygExcessive consumption is on the rise, as is apparent in expanding financial debt and global greenhouse gas emissions. Voluntary simplicity, a lifestyle selection of reduced consumption and sustainable customer behavior, offers a possible remedy for excessive consumers. On the other hand, voluntary simplicity is unpopular, difficult to adopt, and beneath researched. The outlined analysis project will test a approach of promoting voluntary simplicity through usergenerated content, therefore mimicking an current social media trend (Minimalism) in an empirical investigation style. The project will test (a) regardless of whether the Minimalism trend could benefit buyers considering minimizing their consumption, and (b) whether selftranscendence (i.e biospheric) and selfenhancement (i.e egoistic and hedonic) values and objectives have a comparable impact in promoting voluntary simplicity. A oneweek intervention system will test the efficacy of watching usergenerated voluntary simplicity videos in decreasing nonessential consumption. Every from the two intervention PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/13509438 circumstances will present participants with equivalent tutorial videos on consumption reduction (e.g decluttering, donating), 
while priming the relevant values and objectives (selftranscendence or selfenhancement). These interventions are going to be compared to a handle condition, involving no usergenerated content. Participants will undergo baseline and postintervention evaluations ofvoluntary simplicity attitudes and (+)-MCPG price behaviors, acquiring and purchasing behaviors, values and ambitions in reducing consumption, and life satisfaction.
