本文旨在证明享乐价值观对于理解与环境相关的信念、偏好和行为是重要的，其次是利己主义、利他主义和生物圈价值观。在四项研究中，作者发现他们的假设得到了一致的支持，即享乐主义、利己主义、利他主义和生物圈价值观可以通过经验来区分，这表明四种价值观之间的区分不仅在理论上有意义，而且被个人所认可。重要的是，与作者的预期一致，享乐价值观似乎与一系列环境相关的态度、偏好和行为呈显著负相关，即使在其他价值观受到控制的情况下也是如此。这表明，在环境研究中纳入享乐价值观确实很重要，旨在促进环保行动的干预措施应该考虑行动的享乐后果，因为这些可能是行为改变的重要障碍。
This article aimed to demonstrate that hedonic values are important for understanding environmentally relevant beliefs, preferences, and actions, next to egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric values. In four studies, the authors found consistent support for their hypothesis that hedonic, egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric values can be distinguished empirically, suggesting that the distinction between the four types of values is not only theoretically meaningful but also recognized by individuals. Importantly, in line with the authors' expectations, hedonic values appeared to be significantly and negatively related to a range of environmentally relevant attitudes, preferences, and behaviors, even when the other values were controlled for. This suggests that it is indeed important to include hedonic values in environmental studies and that interventions aimed to promote proenvironmental actions should consider hedonic consequences of actions, as these may be important barriers for behavior change.
