Objective: This study attempted to discuss how consumers to weighed attributes of green product between the sales and the popular according to the reference time. Methods: First, participants were asked to evaluate the importance of personal and ethical value at different time distances; then, participants made the purchase intention between ordinary products and green products in the nine semantic point scales accordingly. Results: ①First, compared to the longterm purchase situation, the purchase intention of green product was lower in the near future. ②Second, relative to the longterm purchase situation, the importance of ethical value in the recent purchase situation was lower, It is noted that the importance of the individual value was always high. ③The relative importance of ethics value mediated the relationship between the time distance and the relative purchase intention of green products. Conclusion: This psychological tendency possibly explains the time referenced effect of green consumption, suggesting that consumer is more inclined to buy green products in the future.
