“…Moreover, the research conducted by Chen & Li [30], illuminates that women and urban residents equipped with bachelor's degrees manifest a heightened inclination toward embracing low-carbon behaviors. Similarly, Girod & Tofigh [31] observed that welleducated young men boasting substantial incomes and robust technical backgrounds are more disposed to opt for electric vehicles. Furthermore, findings by Ignatow [32] underscore that advanced age is a key determinant, with older individuals demonstrating a greater propensity for energy conservation practices.…”

Objective: This research serves a dual purpose: To construct a predictive model for low-carbon behavior among Thai millennials and to analyze the interplay between socio-demographic variables and eco-conscious actions. Methods/Analysis: By employing PLS-SEM and surveying 150 Thai millennials through purposive sampling, this study reaffirms the influence of persuasive technology and incentives on low-carbon behaviors. It highlights the significance of perceived behavioral control within the TPB framework and reveals intricate pathways by which persuasive technology and incentives shape attitudes, perceived control, and social norms, thereby driving eco-friendly actions. Findings: Among Thai millennials, positive attitudes and perceived control drive low-carbon behavior, while social norms and accessible low-carbon infrastructure also impact eco-conscious actions. Persuasive technology shows promise for attitude adjustment, but incentives' relationship with low-carbon behavior is complex. Interestingly, mature women exhibit more low-carbon behavior, whereas education and income show an inverse relationship. Novelty/Improvement: This study contributes novel and substantial insights into the drivers of low-carbon behavior among Thai millennials by integrating diverse theoretical frameworks. It enriches our understanding of the mediating role of TPB factors and socio-demographic dimensions, offering invaluable guidance for stakeholders in crafting effective interventions while aligning seamlessly with Sustainable Development Goals 7, 9, 12, and 13.

Social mobility is one of the concepts which is the most intrinsically bound to sociology. Hence, the diachronic analysis of this concept contributes to our understanding of sociology and the way that the discipline has changed, as it turned to individual social trajectories according to different topics. Aimed at contributing to this understanding, I’ve developed a literature review based on a systematic collection of the scientific publications in social sciences directly addressing social mobility. A database with conceptual and methodological variables was compiled (N=1054) and worked on. Distinct periods in the life course of this concept have been identified, with the emergence of a scattered concept (1920–1959), the golden age of social mobility (1960–1989), followed by a period of fragmentation and resistance (1990–2012). These three periods are characterized by different methodological and geographical hegemonies, flows and volumes of publications, and also by different tendencies and theoretical and disciplinary rivalries.

“…However, his foremost inspiration was Douglas's study of a sample of the British cohort of 1946 [7][8][9]. Later he was encouraged by the start of Flanagan's American Project Talent [10,11], Girod's Geneva project [12], Illsley's Aberdeen study [13], and the study of the British cohort of 1958 [14].…”
