Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which collaborative consumption (CC) enthusiasts are significantly more likely to engage into specific forms of socially responsible consumption (SRC), in contrast to regular consumers. Design/methodology/approach The authors administered an online questionnaire survey to a panel of 1,006 consumers. A cluster analysis combined with analyses of variance then determined the extent to which CC enthusiasts were more likely to engage in the focal SRC behaviors as opposed to others. Findings CC enthusiasts differ positively from other consumers concerning sustainable transportation, citizen consumption, and composting but negatively from other consumers concerning recycling; they do not differ significantly as regards to environmental, animal protection and local consumption. Originality/value Conflating CC and SRC remains debatable. This study provides some preliminary evidence about the complex associations that exists between the two constructs.
