Description

The present study focused on individual environmentally-conscious behaviors from social psychological perspective and compared Japan and Germany cross culturally. Study 1 asked the respondents to write down 'environmentally-conscious behaviors' in free response format to analyze its contents qualitatively. The total number of responses did not differ significantly between countries, but the number of responses for transportation behavior was larger in Germany. In both countries, 3R behaviors had the largest responses, while collective action had the least. In Study 2, difficulty, efficacy and understandability were measured for each behavior. Basically, German respondents tended to evaluate each behavior to be relatively easier and have higher efficacy. Collective action was evaluated to be most difficult and have least efficacy in both countries.
