“…In contrast, a study by Coral-Verdugo [59] in Mexico on recycling and reuse reported the reverse, people with increased space in their houses more frequently increasing consumption and waste generation rather than improving recycling.…”

“…8 Socio-psychological group of variables and incidence in the 63 studies included in the meta-analysis Waste Biomass Valor norms apply the method of psychological scale, designed to relate some of the individual's intrinsic motivation to recycling. This motivation includes: personal satisfaction in recycling and being more self-sufficient, general satisfaction from participation, and awareness of the importance of recycling [59]. In investigating this variable, researchers generally use surveys presenting a series of statement regarding recycling behaviour with which interviewees express their degree of agreement or disagreement.…”

“…9). For example, Corral-Verdugo [59] made direct observations on randomly selected families of Mexico and found a direct link between specific recycling knowledge and behaviour. Ebreo and Vining [85] cite findings which support the idea that educational programmes have an effect on the relationship between people's attitude and their recycling motives.…”

PostprintThis is the accepted version of a paper published in Waste and Biomass Valorization. This paper has been peer-reviewed but does not include the final publisher proof-corrections or journal pagination. Abstract A meta-analysis was made of results from previous studies on different variables influencing and determining the recycling behaviour of householders. These studies were conducted by researchers working in various fields in a number of different countries and are published in diverse journals. We evaluated trends in research outputs in the period 1990-2010, during which the provision of recycling facilities to householders has greatly expanded and requirements have become more extensive and often more complex. Variables affecting the recycling behaviour of householders were classified into four theoretical groups: socio-psychological, technical-organisational, individual socio-demographic and study-specific. These groups (clusters) were identified in a meta-analysis of 63 empirical studies culled from published research. The strongest predictors of householders' recycling behaviour were identified as being convenience, moral norms, information and environmental concern. The theoretical framework developed can be used to formulate questionnaires and in data analysis.

“…This might be seen as a problem since there are studies that have found a low correlation between self-reported and observed behaviour [36]. On the other hand there are also studies showing that self-reported data may reflect actual behaviour in a satisfactory way [37].…”

“…Are the OOC different from the ROC with respect to behavioural determinants, covering beliefs about benefits and costs for organic food and related attitudes as well as moral norms, general food attitudes, and socio-economic factors? Knowing of the difficulties in relying on self-reported buying behaviour only [9] [10], we sought to develop an alternative approach in order to survey regular and occasional organic food consumers more reliably. We therefore contacted our sample of different consumers directly after their grocery shopping.…”

It was the aim of this study to understand the differences between occasional organic consumers (OOC) and regular organic food consumers (ROC). A total of 571 consumers, interviewed directly after grocery shopping, were classified as conventional, occasional organic or regular organic consumers depending on the number of organically produced items bought. In order to gain encompassing insights on the differences between the ROC and OOC consumer groups, a large set of psychological and socio-demographic factors was studied. They differ with respect to general food choice motives with OOC placing significantly less importance on animal welfare, food security, environmental protection and more importance on caloric content, convenience and price compared to ROC; with respect to beliefs about the consequences of organic food consumption OOC expect greater expense, less choice, no increase in vitamins and no improvement in taste compared to ROC, and finally OOC show a less positive attitude, weaker social norms and lower intentions of buying organic food regularly in the future and give a lower importance in their lives to protection of the environment. OOC finally prefer different grocery stores and use a larger variety of stores than ROC.
