The findings of previous studies have revealed the inconsistency of consumer behavior between the intention and a real action. The aim of the study is to identify research trends of attitude-behavior gap, to analyze the most commonly consumer behavioral theories and to provide a theoretical consumer attitude-behavior gap model that reveals the influence factors. Research Methodology: review of scientific articles from the last twenty years, evaluating the theoretical aspects of the sustainable consumer behavior gap between intention and action. The information is grouped and structured in order to determine the theoretical directions of the sustainable consumption attitude is behavior gap and to provide a theoretical summary of this phenomenon.
