“…However, religion, which is highly personal and depends on an individual's level of piety or commitment to their religion, affects consumer behavior. Green consumerism is a matter of ethics and morality [73]. Religious beliefs assist believers in determining the appropriateness or inappropriateness of their behavior.…”

With increasing global environmental problems, considerable evidence now suggests that environmental education can influence students’ ecologically friendly behavior significantly. Addressing increased environmental problems requires better understanding of the relations between focused and explicit environmental education, environmental responsibility, and religious values. The current study examined the relationship between environmental education and ecologically friendly behavior, utilizing insights from resource conservation theory. The relationship between the variables mentioned above was examined to determine the mediating effect of environmental responsibility and the moderating effect of Islamic values. Through a cross-sectional approach, data were gathered from 413 university students. The data were analyzed using analytical techniques such as “structural equation modeling” and “PROCESS.” The study’s findings support the predicted conceptual model, indicating that environmental education was positively related to environmentally friendly behavior. Furthermore, environmental responsibility partially mediated the relationship above, whereas Islamic values positively moderated the relationships between environmental education and ecologically friendly behavior as well as between environmental education and environmental responsibility. These findings emphasize the critical role of environmental education and Islamic values in comprehending the ecological behaviors of Muslim students.

“…Due to ethics and social responsibility, people’s consumption behaviors can be affected by convenience, price, and trade-offs. Considerations are usually made between product range and greenness (Akhtar et al 2020 ). The public with environmental consciousness tends to buy lower carbon products, and this kind of group taking low-carbon consumption actions are expanding (Motoshita et al 2015 ).…”

Climate change caused by carbon emissions has a strong influence on the economy and human society. Though numerous previous studies have emphasized the importance of low-carbon innovation on curbing or mitigating carbon emissions, not much attention has been given to the reverse effect. We used a panel of 285 Chinese prefecture-level cities from 2005 to 2016 and Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC)-Y02 patents as low-carbon innovation indicators. The results show that the increasing carbon emissions accelerate cities’ low-carbon innovation in China, and the predicted effect varies across low-carbon innovation types. As carbon emissions rise, more low-carbon innovation will occur in activities with higher carbon emissions. Besides, we explore environmental awareness as the mediation channel for carbon emissions to impact low-carbon innovation. With the help of media, government, and enterprises, the growing carbon emissions promote public environmental awareness and change consumers’ behaviors, motivating companies to speed up low-carbon innovation.

“…Green consumption has been the subject of many studies, which construct a more explanatory integrated or extended model for green consumption based on a mature theoretical framework from various perspectives, such as ecological personality ( Yang and Zhang, 2021 ), motivation ( Gilal et al, 2020 ), social norms ( Kim and Seock, 2019 ; Akhtar et al, 2021 ), self-identity ( Lee, 2009 ; Khare and Pandey, 2017 ; Neves and Oliveira, 2021 ), mindfulness ( Barbaro and Pickett, 2016 ), and consumption value ( Woo and Kim, 2019 ). These studies have promoted the expansion of green consumption and methods to overcome the attitude–behavior gap among residents but further study is required.…”

Moderated Mediation Mechanism to Determine the Effect of Gender Heterogeneity on Green Purchasing Intention: From the Perspective of Residents’ Values

et al. 2022

This study determines gender differences in the generation logic for green purchasing intention within the framework of bounded morality and bounded self-interest and determines the causes of the attitude–behavior gap from a new perspective. Empirical analysis of 977 sample data points is used to test the influencing mechanism of gender heterogeneity on green purchasing intention through altruistic values (ALVs) and egoistic values (EGVs). Meanwhile, the moderated mediation effects are also analyzed. The results show that gender heterogeneity negatively affects ALVs and positively affects EGVs for women as the reference group. The mediation effect of ALVs and EGVs is significant, and there are significant gender differences in the formation of values and green purchasing intention. As expected, women demonstrate higher levels of proenvironmental intention than men. Media exposure (ME) significantly moderates the mediation models. It negatively moderates the mediation effect of ALVs and positively moderates the mediation effect of EGVs. The results reveal the complex formation mechanism for green purchasing intention. It can conclude that the gender differences in terms of green purchasing, the different guiding roles of dual values, and the moderated mechanism of ME are key elements in accurate guidance of green consumption and the effective modification of the attitude–behavior gap.
