- Title
The Environmental Psychology of the Ecological Citizen: Comparing Competing Models of Pro-Environmental Behavior*.
- Authors
Jagers, Sverker C.; Martinsson, Johan; Matti, Simon
- Abstract
Objectives The overall objective of this article is to contribute to the identification of underlying factors causing individuals' pro-environmental behavior (PEB). Methods This is done by the amalgamation of an empirically-derived theory originating in the behavioral science research-the value-belief-norm (VBN) theory (e.g., Stern et al., 1999)-and a rather recently developed theory in political science-the ecological citizenship (EC) model (e.g., Dobson, 2003). Using survey data, this article empirically tests the explanatory power of these two theories, both separately and as a joint model.
