Description

We design a model depicting an individual’s power-saving intention-behavior-effect process in consideration of individual cost-benefit cognition and social cost-benefit cognition based on previous studies to clarify the determinants of pro-environmental behavior. The validity of the model is verified by structural equation modeling (SEM), using results from a citizens’ survey. By using this model, the difference in the situation according to location (Tokyo, Osaka) and power-saving experience of the previous year (experience group, inexperienced group) clarifies the difference between the influence on individual decision-making and the effect process by multiple group analysis.<BR>The results show that social cost-benefit cognition and economical efficiency cognition evokes power-saving behavior and contributes to the power-saving effect, that although convenience cognition increases by power-saving intention, it does not contribute to power-saving behavior. Further, social cost-benefit cognition raises power-saving behavior rather than economical efficiency cognition. In addition, it was shown that it is only Tokyo that raises power-saving behavior by economical efficiency cognition, that the power-saving inexperienced group of the previous year raises power-saving behavior by evaluating social cost-benefit cognition strongly.
