“…The positive prediction of pro-environmental intention by guilt stands in line with existing literature (Carrus et al, 2008;Rees et al, 2014;Hurst and Sintov, 2022). However, in our study, guilt was not only a significant predictor but also a mediator.…”

“…This is also in line with the literature on the positive effects of pride on pro-environmental behavior (Bissing-Olson et al, 2016). Notwithstanding, the effect of pride is not consistent but rather depends on the context (Hurst and Sintov, 2022), which again supports the necessity of careful use of emotions in proenvironmental behavior change.…”

“…In this way, Adams et al (2020) found that guilt exerts a mediating role between the feedback provided to participants about their environmental impact and pro-environmental behavior, with no statistically significant results having been found for pride. Similarly, Hurst and Sintov (2022) found that guilt is a motivator of pro-environmental behavior, whereas pride depends on the context in which the emotion is elicited. Also considering guilt as a mediating variable, Ferguson and Branscombe (2010) noted that feelings of collective guilt about pollutant emissions mediate between beliefs about climate change and behavioral intention.…”

“…On the other hand, when it involves experienced emotions, guilt, but not pride, is related to pro-environmental behavior (they did not include correlational studies analyzing experienced emotions). In this vein, Hurst and Sintov (2022) compared anticipated and experienced pride and guilt in motivating pro-environmental behavior. However, they found no evidence that the effect of pride and guilt on pro-environmental behavior is based on whether these are anticipated or experienced.…”
