Abstract

Using food and drink disposable containers has heavy environmental and economic consequences. The widespread adoption of reusable containers is a challenge that requires understanding the psychological determinants and barriers of the behaviour. Two studies were conducted: one with a sample from the general public (study 1, N = 302) and one with respondents having access to a reusable container system at work (study 2, N = 737). Online surveys measured self-reported use of single-use and reusable containers for food and drinks takeaway (studies 1 and 2) and for food delivery (study 1). Stages of change and psychological determinants were also measured to provide behavioural levers. Results indicate that in study 1, most of the sample is aware of the issue associated with single-use containers but has not switched to reusable. In study 2, most respondents say they are already using few single-use and are willing to continue, particularly for drinks to go. Thus, accessibility at the workplace to a reusable container system is associated with higher stages of change. However, many respondents are also in the preactional phase for food takeaway, that is, willing to change but have not started yet. In both studies, perception of control on the behaviour and volitional variables are positively associated with stages of change. This suggests that making reusable containers easier to use and helping individuals plan how and when they can do it could encourage behaviour change.

食用可重复使用的外卖食品和饮料容器的心理决定因素。
使用一次性食品和饮料容器会造成严重的环境和经济后果。可重用容器的广泛采用是一项挑战,需要了解这种行为的心理决定因素和障碍。进行了两项研究:一项研究的样本来自普通公众(研究1,N = 302),另一项研究的受访者在工作中使用可重复使用的容器系统(研究2,N = 737)。在线调查测量了用于食品和饮料外卖(研究1和2)和食品外卖(研究1)的一次性和可重复使用容器的自我报告使用情况。还测量了变化阶段和心理决定因素,以提供行为杠杆。结果表明,在研究1中,大多数样本都意识到与一次性容器相关的问题,但没有改用可重复使用的容器。在研究2中,大多数受访者表示,他们已经很少使用一次性饮料,而且愿意继续使用,尤其是外带饮料。因此,工作场所对可重用容器系统的可访问性与变更的更高阶段相关联。然而,许多受访者对于外卖食品也处于准备阶段,即愿意改变但尚未开始。在这两项研究中,对行为和意志变量的控制感知与变化阶段呈正相关。这表明,使可重复使用的容器更容易使用,并帮助个人计划如何以及何时可以这样做,可以鼓励行为改变。
