Compliance clusters
Florida’s growing population and water demands necessitate effective conservation strategies such as irrigation restrictions. This study employed audience segmentation, leveraging the theory of planned behaviour and value-belief-norm theory to assess irrigation restriction compliance. Four distinct segments, the steady supporters, moderate self-interested compliers, encouraged eco-adherents, and reserved resisters, showed diverse profiles regardi…
The influence of urban forest on stress levels among adults aged 45 and older
Mental health benefits associated with urban nature exposure have gained significant research attention. This study explored the relationships between self-reported stress levels in Florida (US) residents aged 45 and older and sociodemographic, behavioral, and environmental predictors related to urban forest access. Specifically, we used the 3–30–300 rule as a contextual framework which states that all urban residents should have at least three t…
Assessment of farmers’ resilience to drought and its influencing components
Drought is a complex socio-natural hazard that increases in magnitude with climate changes. Fars province, in the south of Iran, as one of the agricultural poles of Iran, has experienced severe droughts in recent years. Therefore, the present descriptive-correlational research was conducted aiming at assessing farmers’ resilience to drought within the province. Using a structured questionnaire, 420 farmers were surveyed following a multi-stage cl…
Encouraging others to save water
The purpose of this study was to determine how social norms and definitions of the self in terms of individualism-collectivism related to engagement in a public-sphere behavior, encouraging others to conserve water. To achieve this, we examined the public sphere behavior of encouraging others to conserve water through the lens of the Theory of Planned behavior. Data were collected from residents in Florida, USA. Cluster analysis was used to assig…
Changes Take Place in Stages! A Gradational Perspective on the Influence of Homeowners Associations on the Adoption of Wildlife-Friendly Landscape Maintenance
Lack of demand for professional wildlife-friendly landscape maintenance (WFLM) is not well understood, and further complicated by institutional and non-institutional influences. Framed by the Transtheoretical Model of Change, this study evaluated behaviors and perceptions pertaining to WFLM. A cross-sectional research design with quota sampling gathered stage of change, perceived motivators and barriers, processes of change, and self-efficacy fro…
Toward a gender transformative change perspective for smallholder agricultural commercialization
At the moment of disposal
Purpose This study aims to test how waste disposal behaviors can be changed such as higher recycling diversion and lower contamination rates using signage and messaging techniques at public outdoor waste receptacles on a university campus. Design/methodology/approach The experiment took place at five public outdoor receptacle stations, each with a landfill and recycling receptacle, which were located in highly trafficked areas on the University o…
Examining Normative Influences on Intentions to Reduce Irrigated Landscape Area through a Compliance and Belonging Lens
This study sought to disentangle distinctions of social norms that can be used to address residential overuse of irrigation water. Nuances of social norms pertaining to eliminating 1/3 of a household’s irrigated landscape were examined by comparing generalized, expectancy-based, and value-expectancy beliefs with electronic survey data from 315 adults in Florida, USA. Spearman’s correlations were used to evaluate relationships and ordinal regressi…
Predicting Intentions to Engage in a Suite of Yard Fertilizer Behaviors
Research has inadequately examined factors that support residential yard care practices that influence water quality to date. This study evaluated factors that predict yard fertilizer best practices in the state of Florida, USA by pairing the Theory of Planned Behavior and Diffusion of Innovations along with contextual factors including age, population density, and living in a homeowners’ association. Data were collected from 1,197 Florida reside…

Substance Use of Homeless and Precariously Housed Youth in a Canadian Context
Segmenting Florida residential irrigation users by utility-bill “botheredness” and household budgetary constraints
Homeowners typically and incorrectly exclude irrigation costs when considering utility bills. This research identified residents who are: responsible for operating irrigation systems, and highly bothered by their utility bill; the rationale is they will be most receptive to behavior change. Decision-AdeTM, a segmentation strategy based on two multi-item variables: utility-bill “botheredness” (UBB) and household budgetary constraints (HBCs), was u…
The Stigma Scale
Stigma is a devastating psychosocial issue for many individuals with mental illness. This study examined the mental illness stigma experiences of 380 individuals with a self-reported psychiatric diagnosis in London, Ontario, Canada, using the Stigma Scale, a tool recently developed in the United Kingdom (UK). Data for the Canadian sample were examined and compared with those from the UK pilot group. Results indicated that both samples experienced…
