This paper examines environmental and health consciousness, as well as behavioural costs and their effects on the purchase of organic products. The consumption of organic products is regarded as an investment in individual health. The low‐cost hypothesis takes environmental attitudes and behavioural costs into account and is applied to organic food consumption. The survey conducted in three German cities in 2006 using self‐administered questionnaires (n = 521) does not investigate willingness to pay but rather self‐reported behaviour. The results of the regressions using the Heckman correction show that income does not affect the regularity of organic food consumption but that it does influence individual expenditure on organic food. Furthermore, there is an inverted u‐shaped relation between age and the purchase of organic products. Although health consciousness has a stronger association with organic food consumption than does environmental concern, the interaction between behavioural costs and health or environmental consciousness shows no effect. Thus, the low‐cost hypothesis is not supported.

“…1), the angler's management orientations should be influenced by management beliefs. Pro-ecological beliefs of anglers were measured on a five-point scale ranging from strongly agree (coded as 1) to strongly disagree (5) using modified items of the New Ecological Paradigm scale (Dunlap, van Liere, Mertig, & Jones, 2000) and statements used to measure environmental concern in Germany (Preisendo¨rfer, 1999). However, to increase object specificity with respect to angling and fisheries management and hence to increase predictive value, all items were used in a reworded form.…”

Determinants of management preferences of recreational anglers in Germany: Habitat management versus fish stocking

2005

In Europe research and policy debates point to the need to increase efforts to rehabilitate or restore habitat structure and function at the expense of the traditional recreational fisheries management approach to intensively stock fish. Against this background it is paramount to understand and explain the management preferences of anglers. No research has empirically examined key factors explaining whether anglers prefer various forms of habitat management (HM) over stocking. By means of a telephone survey, we investigated the management preferences of a nationwide random sample of anglers in Germany to fund either HM or fish stocking. Management strategies potentially restricting the own activity were, on average, opposed. Anglers with high pro-ecological and low traditional management beliefs, negative stocking and positive HM attitudes, satisfied with the previous angling year, less catch orientated, successful (catch) and committed, fishing most frequently in natural water bodies, and living in more rural areas exhibited the preference to fund HM as opposed to stocking. Basic human characteristics such as beliefs, attitudes and the angler's consumptive orientation were more meaningful predictor variables than typical angler variables such as demographics, angler experience or angler preferences (e.g. species preference). Angler catch and satisfaction emerged as the only near-term managerially manipulable variables that could be addressed to increase support for HM. Traditional management approaches without effort limitation will probably fail to initiate this shift. Anglers should be increasingly involved personally in designing and implementing management programs to facilitate their ''education'' about the outcomes and risks of various management actions.

“…Lifestyle-related, target-group segmentation is used in social scientific environmental research to assess the relationship between attitudes and environment-related behaviour. The influence of lifestyles on a sustainable environmental development in general [12][13][14] and energy consumption in particular [15,16] has been discussed frequently, but not yet conclusively. Today, there is a broad consensus that energy consumption by a society is not only influenced by technical aspects (e.g.…”

This paper presents an empirical survey of energy-related investment decisions made by private households in Germany. The investment behaviour is segmented and discussed by applying the milieu approach. The decision makers are clustered in certain lifestyles, as represented by the Sinus-Milieus® from the Sinus Institute. To analyse the relationship between the lifestyles of house owners and their energy-related investment decisions, telephone interviews were conducted in order to acquire data on currently installed heating systems and preferences for future heating systems in private residential buildings. The results of the survey support the hypothesis of a link between lifestyles and the energy-related investment behaviour. Based on the observed relationship between lifestyles and decisions on energy technologies, predictions of energy trends in private residential buildings can be improved. In addition, the knowledge about specific development paths allows the utilisation of the information for information campaigns and the promotion of energy supply technologies which lead to lower CO<sub>2</sub>-emissions
