AB  - A transition to a more sustainable society is occurring worldwide and 
      necessitates a change in people's ways of consuming. Self-transcendence (ST) is 
      recognized as a key predictor of green consumption. Thus, a multiple intermediary 
      model was developed to clarify the psychological mechanisms underlying ST and its 
      influence on consumption. The model was tested using data from a nationally 
      representative sample of 428 Chinese participants. The results show that ST's 
      overall positive effect on green consumption is realized via four indirect paths: 
      (1) the simple mediating role of nature connectedness between ST and green 
      consumption, (2) the simple mediating role of social connectedness between ST and 
      green consumption; (3) the chain-mediating role of construction of meaning in 
      life (CoMIL) and nature connectedness, and (4) the chain-mediating role of CoMIL 
      and social connectedness. Among these paths, nature connectedness plays the most 
      critical mediating role for the Chinese, accounting for the greatest proportion 
      of the total indirect effect. The study advances understanding of the influence 
      and path of ST on green consumption, and provides theoretical and practical 
      support for guiding people toward sustainable lifestyles.
