ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOR: DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN ASPIRATIONS AND REALITY
Abstract
On the basis of an empirical study in Switzerland and Germany, it is shown that there are considerable inconsistences between citizens' environmental attitudes and their behavior. A disaggregation of the multidimensional concept of `environmental behavior' and a look at this behavior from the viewpoint of rational actors, are proposed as two perspectives from which to get a better understanding of these inconsistencies. Empirical analyses (making use of these two perspectives) lead to an identification of three cognitive strategies by which individual actors try to harmonize and to reconcile seemingly incongruent environmental attitudes and behaviors. These strategies can be subsumed under the short-hand labels `attention-shifting strategy', `low-cost strategy' and `subjective-rationality strategy'.

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.
