Objective knowledge about environmental issues is an important indicator of consumers' environmental involvement.
“Another important indicator of consumers' environmental involvement is their objective knowledge about environmental issues (Ellen 1994; Mohr, Ero glu, and Ellen 1998; Parguel, Benoit-Moreau, and Russell 2015).”

Objective environmental knowledge needs to be distinguished from more subjective indicators of environmental involvement, such as environmental concern.
“The results of Ellen's (1994) study indicate that objective EK needs to be distinguished from more subjective indicators of environmental involvement, such as EC.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
