Purpose This study aims to analyze the psychosocial antecedents of sustainable food behavior to contribute to the design of effective educational interventions for young people based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), which includes extensions such as positive moral attitudes, past habits, environmental concerns and the perceived efficacy of behaviors. Design/methodology/approach A total of 552 Italian participants aged 18–28 years complete…
Differentiating emotions in the theory of planned behaviour
Purpose The theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and its extensions are often used to explain intentions to perform sustainable behaviours. Emotions can provide the impetus for action and should be considered in high-involvement situations, such as sustainable food purchase decisions. Therefore, the aim of this research work was to investigate whether the addition of different types of emotions (self-related, social and pro-active) to the TPB main c…

An online survey was conducted with a sample of adults ( n = 650) 1 year after the COVID‐19 outbreak in Italy and the United States (April–December 2021). Utilizing a Structural Equation Model, we tested a mediation model ( n…
We, activists", "They, the activists
Identity is considered a key factor in activist engagement. In this study, we examined the self-representations of a group of young activists through the lens of the ego-ecological approach, which emphasizes the interplay of representations, attitudes, and beliefs (including stereotypes) that circulate both within groups and in the broader sociocultural environment in identity formation. 46 young activists from a variety of fields (e.g. environme…

Besides traditional variables (i.e., age, self-esteem and income), we also investigated the r…
Self-efficacy, subjective well-being and positive coping in adolescents with regard to Covid-19 lockdown
The Relational Domains of Adolescence
The COVID-19 pandemic experience had a major impact on adolescents’ relational lives. The abrupt change in habits led adolescents to revise their relationships with respect to family, friends, and school; they suffered greatly because of this but, at the same time, were able to discover new resources and possibilities. The present paper aims to give adolescents a voice by exploring their experiences of the change that the pandemic period brought …

Resilience and empowerment in immigrant experiences
Resilience and empowerment are both strengths-based processes, which, while sharing commonalities, describe different goals, actions, and outcomes-one aimed at status quo; the other at status quake. The Transconceptual Model of Empowerment and Resilience (TMER; Brodsky & Cattaneo, 2013) outlines these similarities and differences in order to uncover the circumstances that lead to one or the other process. This study utilized TMER to explore resil…
Intention to adopt pro-environmental behaviors among university students of hard and soft sciences
Purpose The market of bottled water is one of the largest in the world. Paradoxically, the consumption of water in plastic bottles is highest in countries rich in the potable tap water of excellent quality. This paper aims to gain a better understanding of the factors that foster or hinder the intention to use refillable water bottles by university students and to determine whether their study program played a moderating role. Design/methodology/…
Basic human values and sense of community as resource and responsibility
The study aimed at exploring the relationship between basic human values and sense of community (SOC). Specifically, it aimed at identifying which types of values exert an impact, whether these values are consistent with SOC as a resource and responsibility (SOC‐R), and whether the values‐SOC/SOC‐R relations change according to some community characteristics (i.e., stability and cohesion). The 1,334 participants in the survey were based in differ…
