  • Conservation as Integration

    Stacey Mac Donald, Henk StaatsARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2022Citada por: 3Referências: 4

    Considering the growing need to protect nature and acknowledging that not everyone has intrinsic desires to do so, what happens when social, community-based motives are seen to align with pro-environmental behavior? Specifically, the hypothesis addressed in this study is that individuals engage in actions to protect the natural environment at least partly to improve their sense of belonging to their community. To test this hypothesis, we distribu…

  • Toward effective nature conservation on farmland

    Open AccessG R de Snoo, Irina Herzon et al.ARTICLEConservation Letters2013

    Until now the main instrument to counteract the loss of biodiversity and landscape quality in the European countryside has been agri‐environment schemes (AES), which offer short‐term payments for performing prescribed environmental management behaviors. In our opinion this approach is, in its current set‐up, not a sustainable way of enhancing biodiversity and landscape quality. Here we will argue that conservation in agricultural areas is also a …

  • Commitment and Behavior Change

    Open AccessAnne Marike Lokhorst, Carol M Werner et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Behavior2013

    Commitment making is commonly regarded as an effective way to promote proenvironmental behaviors. The general idea is that when people commit to a certain behavior, they adhere to their commitment, and this produces long-term behavior change. Although this idea seems promising, the results are mixed. In the current article, the authors investigate whether and why commitment is effective. To do so, the authors first present a meta-analysis of envi…

  • Preference for Restorative Situations

    Henk Staats, Erika Van Gemerden et al.ARTICLELeisure Sciences2010Referências: 30

    This study extends research on psychological restoration by encompassing a broad set of restorative situations available to urban residents. Preferences are assessed for mundane restorative situations comprising leisure activity, setting, and social context, given different levels of attentional fatigue. Attentional fatigue, activity-setting, and social context were experimentally manipulated. The settings for activities were home, park, city cen…

  • Situational and Personality Factors as Direct or Personal Norm Mediated Predictors of Pro-environmental Behavior

    Paul Harland, Henk Staats et al.ARTICLEBasic and Applied Social Psychology2007

    Studies that use the norm activation theory (Schwartz, 1977 Schwartz , S. H. ( 1977 ). Normative influences on altruism . In L. Berkowitz (Ed.), Advances in experimental social psychology (Vol. 10 , pp. 221 – 279 ). New York : Academic Press .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) to explain pro-environmental behavior often focus on personal norms and on two situational activators, i.e., awareness of need and situational responsibility (e.g., Vining & Eb…

  • Preference for Nature in Urbanized Societies

    Open AccessAgnes E Van Den Berg, Terry Hartig et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2007Citada por: 34Referências: 35

    Urbanicity presents a challenge for the pursuit of sustainability. High settlement density may offer some environmental, economic, and social advantages, but it can impose psychological demands that people find excessive. These demands of urban life have stimulated a desire for contact with nature through suburban residence, leading to planning and transportation practices that have profound implications for the pursuit of sustainability. Some mi…

  • Explaining Proenvironmental Intention and Behavior by Personal Norms and the Theory of Planned Behavior 1

    Open AccessPaul Harland, Henk Staats et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Social…1999

    The value of personal norms (Schwartz, 1977) for proenvironmental behavior has been demonstrated in previous studies (e.g., Vining & Ebreo, 1992), but not in addition to the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen & Madden, 1986). In the present study, this combination was investigated by means of a mail survey among a sample of 305 Dutch citizens who were enlisted to participate in a behavioral change intervention program on environmentally relevant b…
