Responsible Behaviors

This study examines the environmentally responsible behaviors (ERBs) of undergraduates ( n = 575). ERBs were measured in an online survey and the influence of situational context on behavior was explored at two scales: 1) green versus non-green building and 2) building characteristics. The Positive Sustainable Built Environments model was used to analyze three building characteristics: Prime, Permit, and Invite. Prime refers to characteristics that prepare occupants to adopt ERBs via communicating a sustainable ethos or restoring attentional capacity (e.g., use of natural materials and views to nature). Permit refers to features that allow occupants to conserve resources (e.g., operable light switches). Invite pertains to features that explicitly encourage ERBs (e.g., signage prompting occupants to turn off lights). Regression results demonstrated that living in a green building had no significant impact on ERBs. However, the Prime and Invite building characteristics significantly predicted improved Energy, Water, and Materials conservation. Results yield implications for designers seeking to create sustainable buildings that promote ERBs.

Responsible Behaviors

There are many challenges facing humanity and the degradation of resources and natural spaces. One avenue for approaching these issues is through attempting to change human behaviors. Drawing on Stern’s Value-Behavior-Norm theory, we sought out to test the idea that these Environmentally Responsible Behaviors (ERBs) fell into well-established sets. In this research, we developed questionnaire that surveyed 290 residents on Central New Jersey. The questions included demographic information, as well as items gauging the type and extent of respondents’ engagement in ERBs. We used generalized canonical correlation analysis in order to sort the types of behaviors that respondents engaged in to distinct groups. The ERBs sorted into 3 canonical correlation variables that account for 53.7% of the variation in the data. Twenty-five ERBs that loaded highly on at least one of the three canonical correlation variables. The ERBs sorted into 3 groups that did not follow the expected pattern based on Stern’s research. Instead into three other groups suggesting alternative ways of conceptualizing pro-environmental behavior in this population. We found that ERBs tended to sort into those related to energy expenditures, identity as an environmentalist, and impact-oriented ERBs. This research helps to foster a greater understanding of individuals’ engagement in Environmentally Responsible Behaviors.

Science education has changed in recent decades with respect to key issues faced in this century. These issues such as renewable energy, waste management, air quality and biodiversity require dealing with transition towards a sustainable future. Thus, to contribute to the reconceptualization of science education in a developing country, the present study aimed to assess (1) Turkish middle school students' environmentally responsible behaviors, nature relatedness, and motive concerns and (2) the power of environmental motive concerns and nature relatedness in predicting the related behaviors. Measuring tools covering the Nature Relatedness Scale, the Environmental Motive Concerns, and Children's Responsible Environmental Behavior Scale were administered to middle school students in the northern part of Turkey. The results indicated that these students reflected an external nature-related worldview. Regarding their behaviors, it was revealed that the students frequently engaged in some actions linked to physical and economic contribution to the environmental quality. However, they did not demonstrate any actions on political commitment although they were very concerned about the environmental issues. Examining the predictors of their responsible environmental behaviors, a linear combination of these attributes significantly contributed to explaining such behaviors. This study provided practical tips for science and sustainability educators in that children could be provided with some opportunities to get in touch with nature and appreciate value of being in nature.

The Relationship

The authors use a 1989 environmental opinion poll of the Canadian population to examine the influence of perceived consumer effectiveness (PCE) and faith in the efficacy of others (FIO) on the relationship between environmental attitudes and consumer behaviors. The results indicate that PCE moderates both the strength and form of the attitude–personal consumer behavior relationship while FIO moderates the strength and form of the attitude–support for regulatory action relationship. Implications of these results for consumer researchers, marketing managers, and policymakers are outlined.
