“…It was suggested to use different theories in explaining attitudes and behaviors and adapt them to the hotel sector. In order to distinguish more nuances in attitudes and behaviors, to constitute a framework that combines these models (ie, Wolske, Stern, & Dietz, ) may produce a genuine improvement.…”

Over the last decade, many studies have started to focus on understanding customers' green purchase intentions since the increasing importance of environmental issues in the hotel industry. This study examined customers' intentions to visit green hotels by using the theory of planned behavior. Two constructs, environmentally friendly activities and overall image, were incorporated into the theory, and the extended theory of planned behavior model was tested. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of the extended theory of planned behavior constructs (attitudes towards green hotels, subjective norms, perceived control, environmentally friendly activities, and overall image) on visit intentions and also to predict the effects of visit intentions on willingness to pay, satisfaction, and loyalty. Within this aim, the research model was formed to show the antecedents and consequences of intentions to visit green hotels. Data were collected by face‐to‐face survey technique, and 400 usable questionnaires were held from the customers in Izmir City, Turkey. In the findings, four of five constructs in the antecedents of intentions, except perceived control, were found as significant, and all three consequences of intentions were found as significant. The results of the study supported the usage of the extended theory of planned behavior in the context of green hotels. Theoretical contributions and discussions were explained lastly.

“…In addition, some researchers consider NEP an indicator of the awareness of consequences in NAM in testing the relationship between socialpsychological factors and pro-environmental behavior [28]. Since its proposal, VBN has been widely employed to explain many specific pro-environmental behaviors in the private or public sphere, such as green consumer behavior [29][30][31][32], biodiversity conservation [33,34], travel behavior [35][36][37], sustainability behavior [18,38], recycling [39,40], energy conservation [41][42][43][44][45][46], transport modes [47][48][49], and support for pro-environmental policies [50][51][52][53]. Because of value orientations, the new environmental paradigm (NEP) and pro-environmental personal norms (PPN) are vital predictors of pro-environmental behavior in the VBN framework [54].…”

Value-belief-norm (VBN) theory provides a valuable framework for identifying the social-psychological determinants of various types of pro-environmental behavior. However, limited empirical study has tested the applicability of VBN theory in the western minority areas of China. Given Mongolian college students' crucial role in promoting the sustainable development of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR) of China, this study investigates how VBN clusters of variables, namely, values, the new environmental paradigm (NEP) and pro-environmental personal norms (PPN), influence Mongolian college students' self-reported public-sphere pro-environmental behavior (PSPB). The subjects were 1034 Mongolian college students from three large public universities in Hohhot. A structural equation model (SEM) and bootstrapping analyses revealed that: (1) altruistic values have a significant positive influence on PSPB, egoistic values negatively influence PSPB, and biospheric values have no significant influence on PSPB; (2) egoistic values negatively predict NEP and biospheric values positively predict NEP, whereas altruistic values have no direct impact on NEP; (3) NEP has a positive influence on PPN; (4) PPN has a significant positive impact on PSPB; and (5) biospheric and egoistic values have an indirect effect on PSPB through NEP and PPN. The findings provided evidence for the cross-cultural applicability of VBN theory in a Mongolian college student sample. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed, and recommended directions for future research were suggested.

“…Si una persona realiza un juicio evaluativo favorable, sus actitudes darán lugar a intenciones de realizar un determinado comportamiento (Wolske, Stern & Dietz, 2017). Según la TRA la intención es el principal predictor de la conducta de compra, sin embargo, esta relación se ha planteado en productos o servicios en los que no existían impedimentos que puedan frenar la intención de realizar el comportamiento.…”

Modelización del comportamiento del consumidor a favor de las energías renovables: Un estudio basado en las opiniones de los consumidores potenciales ResumenEn el presente trabajo se analiza el conocimiento que tienen los consumidores acerca de los diferentes tipos de energías renovables. Para modelizar el comportamiento del consumidor ante las energías renovables, la investigación basándose en la teoría de la acción razonada, relaciona de manera positiva el conocimiento previo sobre las energías renovables con la actitud. Tomando como punto de partida y variable exógena el comportamiento pro-ambiental, se demuestra la existencia de una relación fuerte entre esta variable y el conocimiento sobre las energías renovables. Por otra parte, entre esta preocupación por el medio, la actitud y la intención, se demuestra una relación menos intensa ya que la instalación de energías renovables supone un esfuerzo que frena al consumidor.Palabras clave: adopción; comportamiento; energías renovables; modelización; Teoría de la Acción Razonada. AbstractThis work analyses the consumer's knowledge of the different types of renewable energies. In order to model the consumers' behaviour regarding renewable energies, the research is based on the Theory of Reasoned Action, proposing a positive relationship between previous knowledge of the renewable energies and attitude. Considering the pro-environmental behaviour as a starting point and as an exogenous variable, this study demonstrates that there is a strong relationship between this variable and the knowledge of renewable energies. On the other hand, a less intense relationship has been demonstrated in the concern for the environment, attitude and intention to adopt, since the installation of renewable energies implies an additional effort that restrains the consumer.Keywords: adoption; behaviour; renewable energies; modeling; Theory of Reasoned Action.
