“…In a systematic review of the literature, Farrow and Grolleau [28] reported that injunctive and descriptive norms hold distinctive importance in predicting various pro-environmental behaviors. Similar findings were reported from other recent reviews by Melvin and Elliott [29] and Bergquist and Nilsson [30].…”

Environmental problems are escalating. Alternate fuel vehicles are a technologically viable solution to curb transport-related pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that cause environmental problems. Based on the theory of norms-driven behavior, this study explains how the underlying facets of subjective social norms (injunctive and descriptive) are linked with personal norms (integrated and introjected) and how this linkage leads to eco-socially conscious consumer behavior related to the choice and use of personal cars. Data were collected from 687 automobile customers from eight large cities in Pakistan. The partial least squares structural equation modeling approach was employed to test the hypothesized relationships of the study. The results showed that subjective norms are positively associated with personal norms, and both together lead to eco-socially conscious consumers’ behavior related to the choice and use of personal cars. Implications for marketers are suggested to promote alternate fuel vehicles and the eco-social use of personal cars.

“…Sitting more was used to avoid standing for long period of time because the later has always been known to trigger health problems, such as back pain, lower limb pain, muscle fatigue, and circulatory problems (Baker et al, 2018). We also sit because people around us sit, and social norms encouraged people to adopt the same behaviors (Hadgraft et al, 2018;Melvin et al, 2020). Social norms also favored the sitting position to recover from certain diseases (Lee et al, 2012).…”

“…In fact, excessive passive sitting in comfortable chairs or on comfortable sofas has been linked to at least 35 disorders and conditions (Levine, 2015). For example, excessive passive sitting was shown to be related to premature mortality (Compernolle et al, 2019;Ekelund et al, 2016;Jones et al, 2019;Katzmarzyk et al, 2019;Labonté-LeMoyne et al, 2020;Owen et al, 2020;Prince et al, 2020), type 2 diabetes (Compernolle et al, 2019;Jones et al, 2019;Katzmarzyk et al, 2019;Labonté-LeMoyne et al, 2020;Magnon et al, 2018Magnon et al, , 2018Melvin et al, 2020;Patterson et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2019), cancers (Jones et al, 2019;Katzmarzyk et al, 2019;Magnon et al, 2018;Melvin et al, 2020;Owen et al, 2020;Patterson et al, 2018), cardiovascular disease (Compernolle et al, 2019;Jones et al, 2019;Katzmarzyk et al, 2019;Labonté-LeMoyne et al, 2020;Magnon et al, 2018;Melvin et al, 2020;Owen et al, 2020;Patterson et al, 2018;Prince et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2019), stroke (Stanczykiewicz et al, 2019), chronic inflammatory diseases (Levine, 2010;Pruimboom, 2011), musculoskeletal disorders such as lower back pain and knee/hip arthritis (Jones et al, 2019;Magno...…”

During their activities of daily living, humans run, walk, stand, sit, and lie down. Recent changes in our environment have favored sedentary behavior over more physically active behavior to such a degree that our health is in danger. Here, we sought to address the problem of excessive time spent seated from various theoretical viewpoints, including postural control, human factors engineering, human history and health psychology. If nothing is done now, the high prevalence of sitting will continue to increase. We make a case for the standing position by demonstrating that spending more time upright can mitigate the physiological and psychological problems associated with excessive sitting without lowering task performance and productivity. The psychological literature even highlights potential benefits of performing certain tasks in the standing position. We propose a number of recommendations on spending more time (but not too much) in the standing position and on more active, nonambulatory behaviors. There is a need to inform people about (i) harmful consequences of excessive sitting and (ii) benefits of spending more time performing active, nonambulatory behaviors. One clear benefit is to reduce detrimental health consequences of excessive sitting and to provide potential additional benefits in terms of productivity and performance.

“…For example, individual-level factors, such as self-efficacy, have been reported to correlate with SB among college students [30]. It was also noticed that individuals' SB was influenced by their peers' perceptions and PA behaviors [31]. Physical environment, such as living in lower-SES neighborhoods and those with a higher risk of crime, were associated with more sedentary lifestyles than those living in higher-SES neighborhoods [28].…”

Social-Ecological Factors Predict College Students’ Physical Activities and Sedentary Behavior

et al. 2022

Guided by the socio-ecological model, the aim of this study was to investigate the predictive strengths of individual, social, and physical environmental factors toward different intensities of physical activity (PA; vigorous PA, moderate PA, walking) and sedentary behavior (SB) among college students. A cross-sectional research design was used. There were 287 college students (Mage = 20.75 ± 2.91; 54% female) recruited from a public research university in the Southwestern United States. Participants completed previously validated questionnaires assessing their PA, SB, and perceptions of self-efficacy, social support, and physical environment variables. Correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were performed to examine the associations and the relative contributions of those individual, social, and physical environmental factors to PA and SB, respectively. The findings indicated that self-efficacy, social support from friends, and convenience of using exercise facilities were positively correlated with vigorous PA. Self-efficacy and physical environmental factor such as convenience of using exercise facilities were significantly associated with students’ moderate PA. Physical environmental factors, including convenience of using exercise facilities, satisfaction with neighborhood services, ease of walking to public transportation stop, and detached single-family residence were significantly related to walking, while only detached single-family residence was associated to SB. The results highlight PA interventions may do well to focus on the promotion of individual and environmental variables to increase PA in college students. More evidence is needed to determine the relationships between social ecological factors and SB.
