  • 2005 - 2009, The process of consumer socialisation in Hungary
    Form of participation: leader of the research team
    Moneylender: OTKA
    Further info about research: The aim of our research was to understand the development of consumer society in Hungary and to formulate forecasts for future trends of development. We believe that the most convenient time for research has arrived: a new generation has grown up since the change in our political system, a generation whose members have been in touch with Western consumer culture since their childhood and whose relationship with consumption was developed in this social ambience, and at the same time, we can also include members the older generations of society in the study, people who grew up in keeping with the socialist value norms in which the desire for possessions and individual consumption was frowned upon. The special coexistence of these generations and values provides the opportunity for a special study as – contrary to the Western studies which depend for the most part only on secondary sources – we can observe the formation of consumer culture first-hand.
  • 2006 - 2010, Sustainable Consumption, Production and Communication
    Form of participation: leader of the research team
    Moneylender: Norway Grants
    Further info about research: The project aims at establishing fair and effective economic, social and settlement policies that serve the steady improving of welfare with taking into account to the highest possible extent the conditions of ecological sustainability. The development target focuses on consumption which, with the decreasing ratio of industrial pollution, is the primary scene of human activities exerted the environment, moreover it is the central element of techniques for organizing of society preparing the way for economic processes.
  • 2009 - 2013, Sustainable Consumption in Hungary
    Form of participation: leader of the research team
    Moneylender: TÁMOP
    Further info about research: Egy-egy nemzet fenntartható fejlődésének előmozdítói az állampolgárok maguk. Ők azok, akik mint fogyasztók, befektetők, választópolgárok vagy alkalmazottak a mindennapok során tehetnek azért, hogy a változás bekövetkezzen. A hazai gyakorlat ugyanakkor azt mutatja, hogy az egyének elköteleződése a nemzetgazdaság fenntartható irányba történő elmozdítása iránt csak lassan és kis lépésekben megy végbe. Vizsgálataink célja az ő életútjaik megismerése volt. Kutatásunk során 25 munkájában és/vagy életvitelében a fenntarthatóság iránt elkötelezett egyén narratíváját elemeztük. A kutatás célja az életutakban megjelenő azonos mintázatok feltárása volt, és az eltérő életszakaszokban megjelenő előmozdító események meghatározása.
  • 2010 - 2013, Kognitív életkor és a 50+ generáció
    Form of participation: member of the research team
    Moneylender: EU Grant
    Further info about research: genetically modified foods. However, despite the increasing importance of ethical consumption in both the academic literature and the marketplace, only one study (Carrigan et al, 2004) could be found that examined the ethical consumption of older consumers. Unfortunately, as the authors admit, their research was exploratory in nature involving seven respondents, and the results are therefore of limited value. What is needed, then, is to properly explore the ethical consumption of older consumers using a more in-depth and far reaching study.
