In an examination of environmentally related behavior, the health belief model (HEM) was applied to the recycling behavior of a random sample of Missouri residents. The results indicated that both the basic and modified versions of the HEM significantly predict recycling behavior; significant predictors include perceived barriers, perceived likelihood of negative outcomes due to failure to recycle, self-efficacy, and consideration of future consequences. These findings are consistent with applications of the HEM to health-related actions. The poor performance of several variables provides evidence of the psychological processes underlying decisions to recycle.
