摘要本研究使用Azjen的计划行为理论来检验宗教领袖传递的支持回收和支持环境的信息如何影响少数民族的回收行为。利用从加拿大安大略三个社区的12个宗教机构收集的数据，制定了一项宣传和教育计划，以：（1）提高对该地区现有废物管理计划的认识;（2）描述应回收的材料;（3）强调回收的重要性（对个人、社区和环境）;（4）直接呼吁家庭参与本地区的回收计划。后实施的P&E运动，受访者表示，在统计上显着增加的积极态度回收，道德规范，感知的行为控制水平，并意识到回收的后果。知觉行为控制，情境因素，态度和道德规范被认为是最重要的预测回收意图。社区领导人被证明更成功地影响积极的变化，在少数民族之间的回收行为相对于以前的市政推广和教育工作。
ABSTRACT This study used Azjen's Theory of Planned Behavior to examine how pro-recycling and pro-environmental messaging delivered by religious leaders affects stated recycling behavior among ethnic minorities. Using data collected from 12 religious institutions in three Ontario, Canada, communities, a promotion and education program was developed to: (1) increase awareness about existing waste management programs in the region; (2) describe what materials should be recycled; (3) highlight the importance of recycling (to the individual, to the community, and to the environment; and (4) make a direct appeal asking households to participate in their region's recycling programs. Post implementation of the P&E campaign, respondents indicated a statistically significant increase in positive attitudes toward recycling, moral norms, levels of perceived behavioral control, and awareness of recycling consequences. Perceived behavioral control, situational factors, attitudes, and moral norms were found to be the most significant predictors of recycling intention. Community leaders were demonstrably more successful in affecting positive change in stated recycling behavior among minorities relative to previous municipal promotion and education efforts.
