Green consumption such as buying green food, purchasing eco-label products, recycled or zero-wasted shopping is becoming more common in developing countries. The paper, using value theory, identity theory and self-regulation aims to develop validate an integrative theoretical model that explain consumer willingness pay purchase behavior. A cross-sectional survey with PLS-SEM analysis of 279 ind...

Stereotypies are commonly observed in zoo animals, and it is necessary to better understand whether ambient environmental factors contribute to stereotypy and how to affect animal welfare in zoo settings. This study investigated the relationships between stereotypic behaviors and environmental factors including ambient temperatures, humidity, light intensity, sound intensity and number of visit...

introduction study of environmental behavior and the factors affecting it, is one of the most fundamental issues of interest to researchers in the interdisciplinary fields including environmental field. in this regard, the basic objective of this paper is to study of environmental behavior spillover. one of the determinant factors of forming behavior in the field of environment is “place”. indi...

The influence of environmental attitudes on environmental behaviors has long been discussed. However, few studies have addressed the foundation of such attitudes. In the present study, we explored primitive belief underlying environmental attitudes, i.e., connections with nature, and its relationship with pro-environmental behaviors. Specifically, we used scales, a computerized Implicit Associa...

Research interest in the influence of environmental factors on nutrition and physical activity behaviors has surged internationally in recent years. This is evident from a rapidly expanding literature and facilitated by advances in methodological and analytical approaches to assessing multiple levels of influence on health behaviors. However, a number of conceptual challenges complicate researc...

According to Hofstede’s theory of cultural dimensions, cultures differ in cultural values 13 and norms; values and norms that may influence differences in trendsetting, creative traits and 14 behaviors, and pro-environmental behaviors. Further, because men and women have been 15 socialized within particular cultures, gender differences may exist in trendsetting, creative traits 16 and behaviors...

We develop an approach to utilize anisotropic metamaterials to solve one of the fundamental problems of modern plasmonics--parasitic scattering of surface waves into free-space modes, opening the road to truly two-dimensional plasmonic optics. We illustrate the developed formalism on the examples of plasmonic refractor and plasmonic crystal, and discuss limitations of the developed technique an...
