Theoretical Perspectives on Pro-Environmental Behaviours

Abstract

The paper outlines a synthesis of the models (The rationalist models, models based on the Theory of Reasoned Action/ Theory of Planned Behavior, and prosocial models) and antecedents of pro-environmental behaviors. The values models applicable for the study of pro-environmental behaviors (Rokeach’s; Schwartz’s; Kollmus and Agyeman's synthesis) are presented afterward, as the results of the studies which confirm the predictive role of values when it comes to pro-environmental behavior.
