“…En el presente estudio se halló que la mayor parte de las viñetas que comprenden las dos dimensiones encontradas (TDI -TDR) contienen dos o más atributos (precio-vida útil, precio, marca y consumo en watts), lo que concuerda con los hallazgos de estudios previos sobre la preferencia al decidir tomando en cuenta dos o más atributos como precio y familiaridad en reservas de hotel (Andrés, 2012), reducción de ruido y gran capacidad en refrigeradores (Shein & Saijo, 2009) y precio, seguridad, marca y amigabilidad de los aparatos eléctricos (Wijaya & Tezuca, 2013).…”

This paper aims to document the psychometric characteristics of an instrument to assess decision-making with regard to power consumption (TDCEE) by means of narrative vignettes. The instrument was developed based on the assumption that decision-making in descriptive models is a dual rational and intuitive process. Based on the results of factorial analysis, two dimensions were identified (TDI and TDR) with moderate alphas and low correlation coefficient between them. We conclude that this scale meets acceptable psychometric criteria to be applied in the Mexican population.

“…At the same time, better educated individuals have been shown to be more likely to adopt energy conservation behaviors that yield a lower carbon footprint, such as purchasing eco-labeled, higher efficiency electrical and heating appliances (Flamm 2009, Mills and Schleich 2010, Michelsen and Madlener 2012, Ma et al 2013, Wijaya and Tezuka 2013, adopting renewable energy sources (Sardianou and Genoudi 2013), and deliberatively saving energy (Poortinga et al 2004, Sardianou 2007, Ouyang and Hokao 2009, Mills and Schleich 2012, Lacroix and Gifford 2018, Niamir 2019. A positive relationship has also been reported for recycling and waste disposal activities (Hage et al 2009, Sidique et al 2010 and the adoption of fuel-efficient or alternative fuel vehicles (Mannberg et al 2014, Potoglou andKanaroglou 2007).…”

Greening through schooling: understanding the link between education and pro-environmental behavior in the Philippines

In recent years, changing lifestyle, consumption and mobility patterns have contributed to a global rise in greenhouse gases responsible for the warming of the planet. Despite its increasing relevance, there is a lack of understanding of factors influencing the environmental behavior of people from emerging economies. In this study, we focus on the role of formal education for pro-environmental behavior in the Philippines and study three potentially underlying mechanisms explaining the education effects: differential knowledge about climate change, risk perceptions, and awareness. Whilst there is some evidence showing that education is associated with pro-environmental behavior, little is known about the actual mechanisms through which it influences decision-making. Using propensity score methods, we find that an additional year of schooling significantly increases the probability of pro-environmental actions, e.g. planting trees, recycling, and proper waste management, by 3.3%. Further decomposing the education effects, it is found that education influences behavior mainly by increasing awareness about the anthropogenic causes of climate change, which may consequently affect the perception of selfefficacy in reducing human impacts on the environment. Knowledge and perceptions about climate risks also explain the education effect on pro-environmental behavior, but to a lesser extent.

“…Consumers with higher level of education are more likely to be willing to pay for eco-labelled seafood in China (Xu et al, 2012), purchase eco-labelled and organic food products (Blend and van Ravenswaay, 1999;Lockie et al, 2004;Ngobo, 2011) and eat less meat (De Backer and Hudders, 2015;Graça et al, 2015). Likewise, highly educated individuals are also more likely to purchase eco-labelled, higher efficiency electrical appliances (Flamm, 2009;Ma et al, 2013;Wijaya and Tezuka, 2013) and adoption of fuel-efficient or alternative fuel vehicles (Mannberg et al, 2014;Potoglou and Kanaroglou, 2007). Extant studies show that irrespective of income, individuals with more schooling are more likely to opt for energy-efficient behaviours as shown in the United States (Sharygin, 2013), Italy (Pronello and Camusso, 2011) and in developing countries like India (Farsi et al, 2007).…”

We investigate whether there are green returns to education, where formal education encourages pro-environmental behaviours using nationally representative surveys on environmental issues in Thailand. To establish the causal relationship between education and green behaviours, we exploit the instrumental variables strategy using the supply of state primary schooling i.e. the corresponding number of teachers per 1000 children, which varies over time and across regions as the instrument, while controlling for regional, cohort and income effects. We find that more years of schooling lead to a greater probability of taking knowledge-based environmentallyfriendly actions a great deal, but not cost-saving pro-environmental actions. In addition, the paper finds no significant impact of formal education on concern about global warming nor the willingness to pay for environmental tax.
