Astrid Kemperman, Harry Timmermans
This study explored the participation of children in walking and bicycling for transportation, school, and various leisure purposes, and the relation with social and physical environmental characteristics and sociodemographics. Detailed individual travel data, including all walking and bicycling trips from a random sample of 4,293 children in the primary-school-age category in the Netherlands were... hiện toàn bộ
The Elderly in Context
Environment and Behavior - Tập 17 Số 4 - Trang 501-519 - 1985
M. Powell Lawton
Older people must be understood in terms of changes that occur both in themselves and in the world around them. The transactions between older people and their environments are discussed in terms of the support-autonomy dialectic and specific behaviors involving environmental reactivity and proactivity. Three examples of research are discussed to illustrate how autonomy is maintained on one level ... hiện toàn bộ
Techno-Optimism and Farmers’ Attitudes Toward Climate Change Adaptation
Environment and Behavior - Tập 52 Số 1 - Trang 82-105 - 2020
Maaz Gardezi, J. Gordon Arbuckle
In industrialized societies, techno-optimism is a belief that human ingenuity, through improved science and technology, will ultimately provide remedies to most current and future threats to human well-being, such as diseases, climate change, and poverty. Here we examine (a) whether techno-optimism is found among Midwestern corn and soybean farmers and (b) how this confidence in human ingenuity in... hiện toàn bộ
Factors Influencing Environmental Attitudes and Behaviors
Environment and Behavior - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 435-473 - 2007
Stewart Barr
Three waste management behaviors (waste reduction, reuse, and recycling) were examined with the use of a conceptual framework developed by the author. It was posited that environmental values, situational characteristics, and psychological factors all play a significant role in the prediction of waste management behavior, within the context of a core intention-behavior relationship. The framework ... hiện toàn bộ
A Systematic Review of Agreement Between Perceived and Objective Neighborhood Environment Measures and Associations With Physical Activity Outcomes
Environment and Behavior - Tập 49 Số 8 - Trang 904-932 - 2017
Stephanie L. Orstad, Meghan H. McDonough, Shauna Stapleton, Ceren Altincekic, Philip J. Troped
A number of review studies document associations between the perceived and objectively measured neighborhood environment and physical activity. However, current evidence does not discern whether perceived or objective variables more consistently predict physical activity. A review is needed to examine the comparability of these variables and the consistency of their respective associations with th... hiện toàn bộ
A Tale of Two Scales: Evaluating the Relationship Among Life Satisfaction, Social Capital, Income, and the Natural Environment at Individual and Neighborhood Levels in Metropolitan Baltimore
Environment and Behavior - Tập 43 Số 1 - Trang 3-25 - 2011
Amanda W. Vemuri, J. Morgan Grove, Matthew Wilson, William R. Burch
With the rapid growth of cities worldwide, there is a need to better understand factors contributing to life satisfaction in urban environments. Using data from a long-term study of the Baltimore metropolitan region, we build on existing social scientific literature to examine a suite of theoretical factors that have been proposed to explain higher life satisfaction. We find support for many previ... hiện toàn bộ
Environmental Attitudes as Predictors of Policy Support across Three Countries
Environment and Behavior - Tập 34 Số 6 - Trang 709-739 - 2002
Kimberly S. Rauwald, Colleen F. Moore
Stephen Kellert’s typology of attitudes and Dunlap and Van Liere’s New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) Scale represent two different approaches to environmental attitudes. Both approaches were used to predict policy support for environmental protection among college students in Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, and the United States. Results showed country and gender differences in the strength of en... hiện toàn bộ
Global Warming and U.S. Crime Rates
Environment and Behavior - Tập 35 Số 6 - Trang 802-825 - 2003
James Rotton, Ellen G. Cohn
Two archival analyses were performed to examine the association between annual temperatures and U.S. crime rates. The first was based on area-averaged temperatures in the United States as a whole for the years 1950 through 1999. Box-Jenkins time-series analyses indicated that annual temperatures were associated with assault but not murder rates in analyses that controlled for yearly population, et... hiện toàn bộ
Recycling and Morality
Environment and Behavior - Tập 28 Số 4 - Trang 536-558 - 1996
John Thøgersen
In affluent industrial societies, people tend to mentally classify environmental behaviors like recycling within the domain of morality. Intentions in this area are not based on a thorough calculation (conscious or unconscious) of the balance of costs and benefits but are a function of beliefs in what is right or wrong. I provide a brief review of the literature with the intention of uncovering pr... hiện toàn bộ
The Impact of Norms and Assumed Consequences on Recycling Behavior
Environment and Behavior - Tập 31 Số 5 - Trang 630-656 - 1999
Christopher Bratt
Given the aim to motivate consumers to behave in an environmentally friendly manner, there is a need to understand how consumers’ environmental behavior can be influenced and what variables predict environmental behavior. This article applies structural equation models (path analyses) to investigate these issues, with experienced social norm, assumed consequences of behavior and personal norm as i... hiện toàn bộ
