                        3. Methodology
                        3.1. Measurement
                        The constructs in this study are measured using scales adapted from prior research
                  on green marketing, green consumer culture, green brand awareness, and consumer
                  behavior. Table 1 presents the detailed measurement items employed in the study. For
                  the items referring to “Brand X,” respondents were allowed to freely select the brand
                  they had in mind when answering the questions. This approach enables the study to
                  capture consumers’ perceptions and awareness based on the specific green brand they
                  are familiar with or have experience with.

                        3.2. Data collection
                        The data used in this study were collected through a survey conducted with
                  consumers in Ho Chi Minh City. The target respondents were individuals who have
                  experience purchasing cosmetics through online platforms. This group was selected
                  because the cosmetics industry has increasingly adopted green marketing strategies,
                  while online channels have become an important medium through which consumers
                  interact with brands and obtain product information.
