实现保护成果需要来自不同社会的许多人的协调一致的参与。然而，许多保护工作者努力吸引新的观众。研究表明，一个有效的策略，以达到非参与个人是鼓励有兴趣的保护行动者分享信息，提供资源和援助，并组织当地的活动，以招募其他人;我们称之为“扩散行为。“以前的研究表明，很少有从事个人领域PEB的保护行为者也从事扩散PEB，可能是因为这些行为有独特的障碍，尚未确定。我们调查了是否有不同的心理社会驱动因素的扩散和个人领域PEB的调查居民在科罗拉多，美国关于他们的个人领域的野外行为（如种植本地植物）和扩散野外行为（如帮助朋友种植本地植物）。包括扩散特定的心理社会变量导致更好的预测的个人领域和扩散PEB。扩散特定的自我效能感，社会和环境反应效能感，以及声誉的关注感知能力的扩散行为的显着预测。扩散特定的环境反应效能和强制性规范，通过制裁显着预测个人领域的行为。个人领域自我效能和动态规范信念预测这两种行为类型。我们的研究结果表明，研究应考虑个人领域和扩散PEB作为不同的领域，并应调查的权力扩散的具体看法。保护推广计划，寻求鼓励扩散的PEB可能会受益于设计方案，试图改变这些看法。
Achieving conservation outcomes requires concerted engagement from many people across diverse societies. However, many conservation practitioners struggle to engage new audiences. Research suggests one effective strategy to reach nonengaged individuals is to encourage interested conservation actors to share information, provide resources and assistance, and organize local events to recruit others; we call these "diffusion behaviors." Previous studies suggest few conservation actors who engage in personal-sphere PEB also engage in diffusion PEB, potentially because these behaviors have unique barriers which have yet to be identified. We investigated if there are different psychosocial drivers of diffusion and personal-sphere PEB by surveying residents in Colorado, USA about their personal-sphere wildscape behaviors (e.g. planting native plants) and diffusion wildscape behaviors (e.g. helping a friend plant native plants). Including diffusion-specific psychosocial variables led to better predictions of both personal-sphere and diffusion PEB. Diffusion-specific self-efficacy, social and environmental response efficacy, and reputational concerns about perceived competence were significant predictors of diffusion behavior. Diffusion-specific environmental response efficacy and injunctive norms enforced through sanctioning significantly predicted personal-sphere behavior. Personal-sphere self-efficacy and dynamic norm beliefs predicted both behavior types. Our findings suggest that research should consider personal-sphere and diffusion PEB as distinct domains and should investigate the power of diffusion-specific perceptions. Conservation outreach programs seeking to encourage diffusion of PEB may benefit from designing programming to try to change these perceptions.
