利用调查数据收集的两个样本-本科生和社区居民的信念的动机作用三类结果在预测环境关注的行为。这三类结果欲望是与获得有形回报有关的欲望,与社会认可有关的欲望,以及根据自己根深蒂固的原则行事所产生的结果。对自然环境和环境保护的一般态度,问题的重要性,感知的威胁程度,和效能信念也进行了测量。多元回归分析表明,关于原则和社会成果的愿望解释了大量的学生样本的行为报告的差异,而与有形成果的愿望这样做与社区样本。在支持一个多变量的方法来研究与环境有关的行为,威胁感知,问题的重要性,和功效结构也占了显着的一部分,在行为报告的方差。理论和应用的影响进行了讨论。
The utility of beliefs regarding the motivational role played by three classes of outcomes in predicting environmentally-concerned behavior was examined with survey data collected from two samples—undergraduate students and community residents. The three classes of outcome desires were those related to obtaining tangible rewards, those pertaining to social acceptance, and outcomes derived from acting in accordance with one's deeply held principles. General attitudes toward the natural environment and environmental protection, issue importance, level of perceived threat, and efficacy beliefs were also measured. Multiple regression analyses indicated that desires regarding principled and social outcomes explained a significant amount of variance in behavioral reports for the student sample, whereas desires related to tangible outcomes did so with the community sample. In support of a multivariate approach to the study of environmentally-concerned behavior, threat perception, issue importance, and efficacy constructs also accounted for a significant portion of variance in behavioral reports. Theoretical and applied implications are discussed.
