Abstract

Climate change is a serious threat to human safety and health. Pro-environmental behavior can avoid more serious risks and harm. Pro-environmental behavior is influenced by information, fear, and risk perceptions. As future educators, planners, and policymakers, it is critical to understand the factors influencing students' pro-environmental behavior. This study, therefore, aims to examine the factors influencing students' pro-environmental behavior based on the Protection Motivation Theory. A 77-item questionnaire was completed by 415 students from the Faculty of Arts and Languages, Science, and Education, randomly selected using the cluster sampling method in their last lecture class. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling showed that information, fear, and risk perception (reward, perceived severity, and perceived vulnerability) are both directly and indirectly mediated by motivation. In addition, the research identified the indirect and negligible effects of various protection motivation theory factors, including cost, responseefficacy, and self-efficiency. Further, an unexpected finding determines that pro-environmental behavior was unrelated to demographic and socioeconomic background. Overall, the study's outcomes offer recommendations to socialize the risks climate change better causes to human health and safety, increasing fear and risk perceptions that may improve pro-environmental behavior. Additionally, stricter environmental behavior regulations are needed to penalize polluters and stop rewarding maladaptive behaviors.

Abstract

Despite significantly adverse environmental and health effects, single-use plastic bags have been a popular choice in many retail stores and traditional markets for purchasing. Public awareness and participation primarily support the policy to reduce the use of single-use plastic bags. This study seeks to identify factors influencing consumers' intention to reduce their use of single-use plastic bags. This study surveyed 140 consumers in two traditional markets in the heart of Bandung, Indonesia, using the extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The majority of respondents have a strong intention to reduce the use of single-use plastic bags. Significant predictors of this intention are attitude toward behavior and perceived behavioral control, whereas subjective norms, environmental awareness, laws, and regulations do not significantly affect the intention to reduce single-use plastic bags among the consumers. We propose both demand-side and supply-side interventions to achieve greater reductions of singleuse plastic bags in the traditional markets.
