摘要

亲环境意愿鼓励个人有意识地做出有助于保护环境、减少浪费、节约资源和保护自然栖息地的决定。本研究旨在评估在计划行为理论(TPB)框架下,环境关注、感知行为控制和社会规范在决定亲环境意愿方面的预测能力。在方法上,我们采用了结构方程模型(SEM),对来自克罗地亚、捷克共和国、匈牙利、波兰、斯洛伐克和西班牙的 2702 名经济学、金融学、管理学或市场营销专业的大学生进行了调查研究。结果显示,该模型解释了 51% 的亲环境意向总方差,环境关注和感知行为控制的预测力分别为 42% 和 45%,而社会规范的预测力仅为 6%(在 51% 的总解释力中)。我们的研究结果表明,在支持亲环境行为的行为干预中,应重点关注提高环境关注度和感知行为控制力。事实证明,强制性社会规范所产生的社会压力效果有限。跨国差异在统计学上并不显著。必须开展更多的研究,以探讨强制性社会规范和描述性社会规范对亲环境行为的相对影响。

The predictive power of environmental concern, perceived behavioral control and social norms in shaping pro-environmental intentions: a multicountry study
Pro-environmental intentions encourage individuals to make conscious decisions that help protect the environment, reduce waste, conserve resources, and preserve natural habitats. This study aims to assess the predictive power of environmental concern, perceived behavioral control and social norms in determining the pro-environmental intentions in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework. Methodologically we rely on Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), applied to the survey study among 2,702 university students majoring in economics, finance, management, or marketing from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Spain. The results show that the model explained 51% of the total variance of pro-environmental intentions, with the predictive power of environmental concern and perceived behavioral control at 42% and 45%, respectively, and social norms at only 6% (out of total 51% of explanatory power). The implications of our results suggest a major focus on increasing environmental concern and perceived behavioral control in behavioral interventions to support pro-environmental behavior. The effectiveness of social pressure produced by injunctive social norms proved limited. The cross-country differences were not statistically significant. More research must be done to study the relative effect of injunctive and descriptive social norms on pro-environmental behavior.

期刊介绍: Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research across fundamental and applied sciences, to provide ecological and evolutionary insights into our natural and anthropogenic world, and how it should best be managed. Field Chief Editor Mark A. Elgar at the University of Melbourne is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics and the public worldwide. Eminent biologist and theist Theodosius Dobzhansky’s astute observation that “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution” has arguably even broader relevance now than when it was first penned in The American Biology Teacher in 1973. One could similarly argue that not much in evolution makes sense without recourse to ecological concepts: understanding diversity — from microbial adaptations to species assemblages — requires insights from both ecological and evolutionary disciplines. Nowadays, technological developments from other fields allow us to address unprecedented ecological and evolutionary questions of astonishing detail, impressive breadth and compelling inference. The specialty sections of Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution will publish, under a single platform, contemporary, rigorous research, reviews, opinions, and commentaries that cover the spectrum of ecological and evolutionary inquiry, both fundamental and applied. Articles are peer-reviewed according to the Frontiers review guidelines, which evaluate manuscripts on objective editorial criteria. Through this unique, Frontiers platform for open-access publishing and research networking, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution aims to provide colleagues and the broader community with ecological and evolutionary insights into our natural and anthropogenic world, and how it might best be managed.
