| Sumario: | A study was conducted to examine the connection between what U.S. nationals think about human rights and how they are willing to behave. Data were obtained from 508 respondents to a nationally representative telephone survey carried out from November 15–27, 2006, which integrated questions on human rights attitudes and ethical consumption. Findings indicated that people in the U.S. widely regard the right to a minimum standard of living as a human right and say they are willing to pay more for ethically produced goods as a means of promoting such rights. Theoretical and policy implications of the findings are considered. |
