三个废物管理行为（废物减少，再利用和回收）进行了检查与作者开发的概念框架的使用。据推测，环境价值观，情境特征和心理因素都发挥了重要作用，在废物管理行为的预测，在一个核心的意图-行为关系的背景下。该框架进行了测试，在自我报告问卷的673名居民的埃克塞特，英国。结果发现，减少，再利用和回收行为的预测因子显着不同，减少和再利用的预测基础的环境价值观，知识和关注为基础的变量。与此相反，回收行为的特点是高度规范的行为。使用所采取的方法来调查其他环境行为进行检查。
Three waste management behaviors (waste reduction, reuse, and recycling) were examined with the use of a conceptual framework developed by the author. It was posited that environmental values, situational characteristics, and psychological factors all play a significant role in the prediction of waste management behavior, within the context of a core intention-behavior relationship. The framework was tested in a self-report questionnaire of 673 residents of Exeter, UK. It was found that the predictors of reduction, reuse, and recycling behavior differed significantly, with reduction and reuse being predicted by underlying environmental values, knowledge, and concern-based variables. Recycling behavior was, in contrast, characterized as highly normative behavior. The use of the approach taken for investigating other environmental behaviors is examined.
