升级回收作为一种资源再利用的方式，为基于原始材料的生产和消费提供了一种有前途的替代方案。尽管近年来学术界和工业界对升级循环的兴趣日益浓厚，但缺乏大规模的跨国或跨区域研究，系统地调查消费者升级循环行为的影响因素。通过借鉴人际行为和计划行为的社会心理学理论，本研究调查了三大洲五个高度工业化国家（澳大利亚，加拿大，德国，英国和美国）的升级循环行为的预测因素。结果表明，意图和感知的行为控制（能力的信心）是最重要的因素升级。从这项研究的理论和实践意义进行了讨论的背景下，努力扩大全球升级循环。
Upcycling, as a way to reutilise resources, offers a promising alternative to production and consumption based on virgin materials. Despite the growing academic and industrial interest in recent years, there is a lack of large-scale cross-country or cross-regional studies that systematically investigate influencing factors for consumer upcycling behaviour. By drawing on social psychological theories of interpersonal behaviour and planned behaviour, this study investigated predictors of upcycling behaviour in five highly industrialised countries of three continents: Australia, Canada, Germany, UK, and USA. Results showed that intention and perceived behavioural control (confidence in abilities) were the most important factors for upcycling. Theoretical and practical implications from this study are discussed in the context of efforts to scale up global upcycling.
