“…Respondents with more favourable attitudes towards contributing and stronger subjective norms regarding this behaviour are more likely to prefer the management plan over the BAU scenario. PBC does not affect these choices when attitudes and subjective norms are also included in the model, which supports findings in López-Mosquera et al (2014) and Fielding et al (2008). Following the interpretation of López-Mosquera at al.…”

“…As discussed by Sparks and Shepherd (1992), Fekadu and Kraft (2001), Fielding et al (2008) and Nigbur et al (2010), perceived self-identity may enhance the prediction of behavioral intentions. Perceived self-identity refers to the salient aspects of an individual's self-identity towards performing a given behavior (Rise et al, 2010;Cook et al, 2002).…”

This paper attempts to measure the intention of homebuyers to purchase green and sustainable homes using an extended theory of planned behavior model (TPB) in Malaysia. The results obtained indicate that attitude towards green housing, perceived behavior control, and perceived self-identity have positive causal effects on behavioral intentions to purchase such homes. However, social referents' opinion relating to sustainable homes is not significantly related to intent to purchase. The findings also indicate that interdependencies among psychosocial variables are important extensions of TPB to predict behavioral intentions to purchase green and sustainable homes.

“…Individuals' pro-environmental orientation was captured through two dimensions: pro-environmental self-identity and daily behaviours. In order to measure the degree of pro-environmental self-identity, six items from existing questionnaires were selected and adapted (Castro et al, 2009;Fielding et al, 2008;Whitmarsh and O'Neill, 2010). These items measure to what extent the respondent perceives herself as a person concerned with environmental issues.…”

Explaining the diversity of motivations behind community renewable energy

Community-based renewable energy initiatives may be important actors in the transition toward low-carbon energy systems. In turn, stimulating investments in renewable energy production at the community level requires a better understanding of investors' motives. This paper aims to study the heterogeneity of motivations that drive individuals to participate in community renewable energy projects and the underlying explanatory factors behind this, as well as the implications for their level of engagement in initiatives. Based on quantitative data from an original survey conducted with two renewable energy cooperatives in Flanders, the statistical analysis shows that cooperative members should not be considered as one homogeneous group. Several categories of members with different motives and levels of engagement can be distinguished. This heterogeneity is explained by contrasts in terms of institutional settings, spatial patterns and attitudes to the diffusion of institutional innovations. Regarding policy implications, the findings suggest that this heterogeneity should be taken into account in designing more effective supporting policies to stimulate investments at the community level.The activation of social norms is also shown to be a promising mechanism for triggering investment decisions, although the implications of its interplay with economic incentives should be further explored.
