Abstract:In recent years, specialty license plates have become an increasingly popular way to raise awareness and show support for a myriad of issues with which the plate is linked. Several states and various organizations that provide forestry education have developed forestry license plates. Vehicle owners can purchase the plates to show their support towards forestry by buying the forestry license plates, which generates revenue for the provider organization. Using county-level data from five states in the Southeastern United States, a statistical model was developed to examine explanatory factors of forestry-based specialty license plate sales in 2014. Using linear count regression modeling, we observed that the significant predictor variables of plate sales were income per capita, population density, the percentage of acres that are forested in the county, acres of forest in the county that are privately owned, percentage of people who are 65 or older, and presence of the forest industry in the county. Plate sales were positively correlated with the presence of the forest industry in the county.

“…The results showed that their knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards solid waste recycling were influenced by demographic factors of age, education level, gender and occupation [11]. Another example is that individuals' education level can help to predict pro-environmental behaviours [36]. However, Botetzagias added education, gender, income and age as independent variables into the TPB model and found no significant correlation between pro-environmental behaviour and demographic factors [37].…”

Understanding Household Waste Separation Behaviour: Testing the Roles of Moral, Past Experience, and Perceived Policy Effectiveness within the Theory of Planned Behaviour

et al. 2017

Due to the increasing waste generation over the years in China, there is an urgent need to addressing this major problem by implementing effective household waste separation programs. Although past studies have tried to explain the waste behaviour from social and psychological motivations, there is little understanding as to the impact of individual moral obligation and past experience on forming waste separating intention. The aim of this study is to investigate key determinants influencing household waste separation intention and behaviour. Based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model, we designed a survey questionnaire by taking account of determinants including residents' attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, moral obligation, past behaviour, and demographic factors, with the prediction of household waste separation behaviour in mind. After obtaining 628 valid questionnaires from households in the city of Hangzhou, the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of each construct. The results indicate that subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, past behaviour and intention significantly predict household waste separation behaviour, with past behaviour being the most significant construct to predict individuals' intention and behaviour. Additional analysis on the moderating effect of different kinds of people in terms of their genders, ages, income levels and perceived policy effectiveness, to further evoke household waste separation behaviours is also discussed. The findings suggest insightful future policies that can focus on residents' habit formation by providing the convenient location of waste separation and collection facilities, encouraging market-driven recycling programs and traders, promoting community campaigns and education which help residents to form favourable habits for protecting the environment.

“…Weigel (1977) também encontrou uma relação positiva entre ideologia liberal e CPA, enquanto Ostman e Parker (1987) apontaram que possuir conhecimentos acerca do ambiente e seus problemas era um preditor significativo do comportamento pró-ecológico. Outros autores encontraram relações positivas entre possuir atitudes pró-ambientais e o CPA (Hines, Hungerford & Tomera, 1987) e entre manifestar crenças pró-ambientais e esse comportamento pró-ecológico (Samdahl & Robertson, 1989). Apesar de convincentes, os resultados eram limitados, conseguindo explicar apenas uma pequena fração do CPA.…”

ResumoRevisa-se o estado atual da investigação do comportamento pró-ambiental (CPA), assinalando as condições que, segundo os autores, poderiam resultar em obstáculos ou vantagens para essa área de pesquisa. Dentre essas condições, discutem-se o papel desempenhado pela quantidade e qualidade das variáveis preditoras no poder explicativo dos modelos, o problema dos auto-relatos como métodos de mensuração do CPA, o efeito dos contextos de investigação, as influências dos sistemas de análise de dados e a suposta universalidade do CPA.Palavras-chave: comportamento pró-ambiental, auto-relato, modelos explicativos. AbstractConditions for the study of pro-environmental behavior The current status of pro-environmental behavior (CPA) research is reviewed, emphasizing the conditions that, according to the authors, could result in obstacles or advantages to such kind of investigation. Among those conditions we discuss the role played by the quantity and quality of predictive variáveis upon the explanatory power of models, the problem of self-reports as measurement technique of CPA, the effect of research contexts,
