Air travel attitudes and behaviours: The development of environment-based segments

‘Green’ on the ground but not in the air: Pro-environmental attitudes are related to household behaviours but not discretionary air travel

“…Davison et al (2014) found that combined measures of pro-environmental attitude, perceived ease of pro-environmental behaviour, and perceived personal and social pro-environmental norms, together explained two and a half times as much of the variance in intention to adapt household and routine behaviour, compared to intention to reduce flight dependency. In a study comparing groups stratified on their pro-environmental household behaviour, Barr et al (2011) observed markedly higher self-rated concern and commitment to acton environmental matters amongst those with the most pro-environmental household behaviours, who were also the highest frequency air travellers.…”

“…Some showed no association between pro-environmental attitudes and household behaviours, and non-work related flights (Cohen et al, 2013; Kroesen, 2013; McKercher et al, 2010; Randles and Mander, 2009), or even a negative association, with more concerned individuals flying more (Barr et al, 2011), though lower flight frequency amongst those with a more pro-environmental worldview has also been reported (Davison et al, 2014). Although suggestive, the small sample sizes and inability to control for a host of potentially relevant socio-demographic and psychological variables make interpreting these findings difficult.…”

Correlation Between the Environmental Knowledge, Environmental Attitude, and Behavioral Intention of Tourists for Ecotourism in China

“…Sultan (2013) conducted an investigation on 1225 nature and environment education centers and indicated that the development of an individual's attitude was beneficial for developing responsible behaviors toward the environment. Davison et al (2014) carried out the study of factors relevant to responsible environmental behaviors. They also found that an individual with a more positive and optimistic attitude toward environmental issues could contribute to his/her responsible behaviors.…”

“…Davison et al (2014) classified the environment education into thirteen categories which included environmental management, environmental management technique, environmental problem, geo-ecology, economics, social and cultural environment, adaptation and evolution, natural resource, culture, politics, family, individual, and mentality. Any knowledge relevant to this territory was included in the scope of the environmental knowledge.…”

Transit commuting market investigation using the latent segmentation approach

“…Each indicator is assigned to specific factor on which it has the largest loading. It can be easily derived from Table 1 that all the 17 indicators have loadings greater than 0.5, which has been commonly considered in previous studies, e.g., Hair et al (1998) and Davison et al (2014). Thus, all of them are maintained in the following analysis.…”
