研究表明，支持环境的行为与对自然环境的情感联系的强度呈正相关。本研究(N=199)考察了计划行为理论的扩展模型(TPB)的预测效用[Ajzen，I(1991)]。计划行为理论。组织行为和人类决策过程，50,179-211]关于人们与自然环境接触的意图。有人假设，与自然环境的情感联系和认同感都将对预测人们的意图做出重大贡献。第二个假设是，与城市参与者相比，在农村地区长大的参与者会报告更积极的参与自然环境的取向。研究发现，情感联系是与自然环境接触意愿的重要独立预测因素。只有在回归模型中没有情感联系时，环境认同才是一个显著的预测因子。正如预测的那样，农村和城市参与者在测量的变量上存在显著差异。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Research has shown pro-environmental behaviour to be positively associated with the strength of emotional connection towards the natural environment. The present study (N = 199) investigated the predictive utility of an extended model of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) [Ajzen, I. (1991). The theory of planned behaviour. Organizational Behaviour and Human Decision Processes, 50, 179-211] for people's intentions to engage with the natural environment. It was hypothesised that both affective connection and identification with the natural environment would contribute significantly to the prediction of people's intentions. A secondary hypothesis was that participants who had grown up in rural areas would report more positive orientations towards engaging with the natural environment than would urban participants. The research found that affective connection was a significant independent predictor of intentions to engage with the natural environment. Environmental identity was only a significant predictor in the absence of affective connection in the regression model. As predicted, rural and urban participants differed significantly along the measured variables. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
