居住流动性在世界范围内不断增加，客观上增强了经济实力。然而，频繁的迁移造成了一个加剧环境退化的特定生境。本研究从环境适应的角度探讨了居住流动与亲环境行为的关系。我们进行了五项研究，以检验这一假设，即高住宅流动性减少私人领域PEBs在个人和区域层面。结果表明，高个人住宅流动性（研究1）和高区域住宅流动性（研究2）与自我报告的私人领域PEBs呈负相关。研究3表明，具有高（与低）住宅流动性心态的个人表现出较少的实际私人领域PEB。研究4和研究5进一步表明，集体利益偏好在这一关系中发挥了中介作用。这些研究结果将住宅流动的不利影响扩展到自然环境，并突出了社会生境变化在理解环境退化方面的作用。
Residential mobility is increasing worldwide, and it objectively boosts economic strength. However, frequent moves create a specific habitat in which environmental degradation is aggravated. This research explored the relationship between residential mobility and pro-environmental behavior (PEB) from the perspective of environmental adaptation. We conducted five studies to test the hypothesis that high residential mobility decreased private-sphere PEBs at both personal and regional levels. The results showed that high personal residential mobility (Study 1) and high regional residential mobility (Study 2) were negatively correlated with self-reported private-sphere PEBs. Study 3 suggested that individuals primed with a high (vs. low) residential mobility mindset showed less actual private-sphere PEBs. Studies 4 and 5 further demonstrated that the preference for collective benefits played a mediating role in this relationship. These findings extend the adverse impacts of residential mobility to natural environments and highlight the role of social habitat changes in understanding environmental degradation.
