“…These findings enhance the study consistency with the existing literature that exhibits different psychological responses based on geographical positioning. 95,96 Whereas the moderating variable passion strengthen the relationship between all psychological distance factors and approved GM crops adoption intentions across three datasets. Passion influences individual perception in the context of psychological distance to examine the farmer intentions to adopt the approved GM crops.…”

This study contributes to the literature on genetically modified crops by examining the impact of psychological distance on farmer adoption. The existing body of literature suggests that some farmers have the conservative perception to adopt genetically modified crops because of controversies regarding the side effects and profitability. To understand these social problems, we have relied upon construallevel theory which argues farmer passion about dynamics like here and now, likely or unlikely and the near or far from self are vital for the adoption of approved genetically modified crops. The data for the present study collected from three Asian countries through questionnaire, for China 300, India 350, Philippines 300 valid responses collected. The study founds a positive relation of psychological distance based on passion with farmer trust behavior to adopt genetically modified crops over time. The findings of the present study provide new insights into the development of farmer acceptability and encourage the use of novel crop technologies.

“…Clark et al [25], for instance, stated that ER enables individuals to act for environmental protection. Similarly, Zhu et al [31] demonstrated that different levels of perceived responsibility contribute to an individual's conservation intentions. ER potentially persuades both a person and organizations to be responsible for causing various environmental problems due to their behaviors and to alter their daily practices to minimize negative consequences [32].…”

“…Many studies have shown that positive environmental attitudes are significantly correlated with PEBs [40,41], and PEBs are significantly contributed by sense of environmental responsibility [25,31]. However, some studies also found a weak correlation between positive environmental attitudes and green behaviors [42,43], and Vermeir and Verbeke [44] demonstrated that the single variable of environmental attitudes was too weak to predict PEBs.…”

Recently, both global and domestic environmental events have been occurring more frequently, bringing catastrophic consequences to humans and the environment. These adverse events have caused widespread concern among the general public. In positive terms, these devastating events could potentially enhance people's environmental awareness, which, in turn, could instill a greater sense of environmental responsibility. This study aims to investigate how university students concern themselves with global and domestic catastrophic environmental events and to examine how global and domestic environmental concerns mediate the effect of environmental knowledge and attitudes on university students' environmental responsibility. Students of King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi in Bangkok, Thailand were selected as the participants. A simple random technique was applied to select the research participants. Questionnaire surveys with 863 students were carried out during September-October 2019. A path analysis was performed to test how global and local environmental concerns mediate the effect of environmental knowledge and attitudes on university students' environmental responsibility. The results demonstrated that domestic environmental concerns, taken alone, contributed less to the students' sense of environmental responsibility. Domestic environmental concerns had a stronger effect on environmental responsibility when taken together with global environmental concerns. In addition, both domestic and global environmental concerns could help transform environmental knowledge and attitudes into environmental responsibility. Only environmental attitudes had no direct effect on responsibility. These results show that domestic and global catastrophic environmental events could raise students' levels of concern for the environment, and, ultimately, enhance their sense of responsibility to protect the environment.
