Value Attitude behaviour relations the moderating role of Attitude functions
British Journal of Social Psychology, 1994Co-Authors: Gregory R Maio, James M OlsonAbstract:A direct measure of Attitude function was used to examine the moderating role of Attitude functions in Value-Attitude-behaviour relations. Subjects learned about a (fictitious) dance to support the construction of an enclosed on-campus smoking area. We measured subjects' Attitudes towards the dance, the functions of their Attitudes and a behaviour relevant to their Attitude toward the dance. Results revealed that subjects with Value-expressive Attitudes exhibited significant relations between Value importance and their Attitudes or behaviour, whereas subjects with utilitarian Attitudes did not. These findings illustrate that the direct measure of Attitude functions can be used to predict the strength of Value-Attitude-behaviour relations.

Attitude functions in consumer research comparing Value Attitude relations in individualist and collectivist cultures
Journal of Business Research, 2002Co-Authors: Gary Gregory, James M Munch, Mark PetersonAbstract:Abstract Culture, and the influence that cultural Values have on Attitudes and behavior, is an important topic in cross-cultural consumer research. The relationship between Values and the psychological purposes (functions) of Attitudes are investigated in a cross-cultural study on consumer groups from the individualist culture, US, and collectivist culture, Colombia. The primary objective of this study is to test the moderating role of Attitude functions (the goals served by Attitudes) in the Value–Attitude relationship. In an attempt to extend Attitude function theory to other cultures, it is expected that Value–Attitude relations will be stronger when people have Value-expressive (or social-identity) Attitudes than when they have utilitarian Attitudes. Similarly, Value–Attitude relationships are expected to vary between idiocentric (individualist) and allocentric (collectivist) individuals within each culture. Overall results support the moderating role of Attitude functions, as Values were related to Attitudes only when ad appeals emphasized a social-identity function, but not when they emphasized a utilitarian function.

amenity Values of public and private forests examining the Value Attitude relationship
Environmental Management, 2002Co-Authors: Michael A Tarrant, Ken H CordellAbstract:Public Values toward forests have changed since the late 1980s, from a commodity-oriented perspective toward a more inclusive (commodity and non-commodity) orientation. This study examines the influence of four indicators of population diversity (age, ethnic background, place of residence, and gender) on amenity Values of forests, environmental Attitudes, and forest Value-Attitude correspondence. Four Values of public and private forests were assessed, wood production (utilitarian Value), clean air (a life support Value), scenic beauty (an aesthetic Value), and heritage (a spiritual Value). Environmental Attitudes were measured using a modified version of the New Environmental Paradigm scale. Five hundred and forty-eight randomly selected residents of households in 13 states of the Southern United States participated in a telephone interview. Age and ethnic background were found to moderate the Value-Attitude relationship, with the strength of the association being dependent upon the type of forest (i.e., public or private) and the forest Value (i.e., utilitarian, life support, spiritual, and aesthetic). Females, younger persons (less than 43 years old), and whites reported lower utilitarian Values of forests than their respective counterparts. Results are interpreted within the context of an emerging post-material society, in which a biocentric orientation to forests and the natural environment may be favored more by a younger (versus older) generation and increasingly racially diverse U.S. population. Implications for managing forests using a multiple-Values (versus multiple-uses) approach are discussed.

Attitudes toward wildlife species protection assessing moderating and mediating effects in the Value Attitude relationship
Human Dimensions of Wildlife, 1997Co-Authors: Michael A Tarrant, Alan D Bright, Ken H CordellAbstract:Abstract Framed in the cognitive hierarchy approach, we examine (1) the mediating effect of general environmental Attitudes and (2) the moderating effect of factual wildlife knowledge on the relationship between Values and specific wildlife Attitudes (wildlife species protection). These relationships are assessed across four wildlife constituent groups: (1) consumptive users (anglers and hunters), (2) birders (a nonconsumptive user group), (3) non‐hunters, non‐anglers, and nonbirders (nonusers), and (4) combined consumptive and nonconsumptive users (anglers, hunters and birders). Twelve hundred and twenty residents of the Southern Appalachians completed a telephone survey during the summer of 1995. Overall, respondents demonstrated low knowledge but favorable Attitudes regarding wildlife species protection. Results provided partial support for a cognitive hierarchy in which general Attitudes mediate the relationship between Values and specific Attitudes, and the existence of knowledge as an external moder...

Determinants of Pro-environmental Behaviours – A Cross Country Study of Would-be Managers
'Sociological Research Online', 2020Co-Authors: Bhattacharyya Asit, Biswas Kumar, Moyeen AbdulAbstract:Purpose: This cross-cultural based paper aims to provide an understanding of the determinants contributing to adopting pro-environmental behaviour by ‘would-be managers’ represented by MBA students studying in two highly carbon emitting yet contrasting countries – India and Australia. The paper particularly examines the effects of personal Values, moral obligation, Attitudes, and subjective norms on pro-environmental behavior of such would-be managers. Design/methodology/approach: In predicting the pro-environmental behavior of would-be managers, a conceptual model was developed by combining Schwartz’s (1992) Value theory and Homer and Kahle’s cognitive hierarchy model of Value-Attitude-behaviour (VAB). Data was collected from 476 respondents consisting of 342 MBA students from India and 134 MBA students from Australia. Partial least square based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used in analysing the data. Findings: The findings reveal that the inclination of pro-environmental behaviour of would-be managers can be predicted by their personal Value, moral obligation, Attitudes and subjective norms, thereby providing both theoretical and empirical supports to our model in understanding the determinants of pro-environmental behaviour. Practical implications: The findings are critical in developing strategies for building capacity and willingness of would-be managers to adopt pro-environmental behaviour. In so doing, business schools may use these findings in designing effective CSR/sustainable development contents in their curriculum which will not only help educators to nurture classroom discussion but also sensitize students’ critical thinking in addressing issues of climate change as well as improving environmental well-being. Originality/Value: Conceptually, this paper proposes a comprehensive framework to understand the determinants of pro-environmental behavior. Empirically, it applies a novel and appropriate method for predicting such behavior in two contrasting yet highly carbon emitting countries – an important issue that receives little attention in current CSR/sustainable development literature

can the Value Attitude behavior model and personality predict international tourists biosecurity practice during the pandemic
Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management, 2021Co-Authors: Myung Ja Kim, Michael C Hall, Mark A BonnAbstract:Abstract Biosecurity is vital for preventing the introduction of exotic fauna, flora, and disease from one territory into another. Attention to biosecurity measures has become an important element of responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is limited theoretically informed research on tourist biosecurity behavior. To fill this research gap, an integrated research framework with Value-Attitude-behavior and personality theories is used to identify what influences tourist biosecurity behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data was collected in September 2020 from Americans who had traveled overseas and analyzed by structural equation modeling, multi-group analysis, and deep learning. Results show that Value has the greatest effects on Attitude followed by personal and social norm on biosecurity for traveling during the pandemic. Personalities significantly moderate the linkages between Attitude, personal norm, and behavior. Deep learning confirmed the best prediction of the current model and the importance of personal norms.

do Value Attitude behavior and personality affect sustainability crowdfunding initiatives
Journal of Environmental Management, 2021Co-Authors: Myung Ja Kim, Michael C HallAbstract:Crowdfunding is an innovative financial measure that is increasingly important in supporting sustainability initiatives. However, little research-based theory has been devoted to crowdfunding in light of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To bridge this gap, this study utilizes theories of Value-Attitude-behavior (VAB) model and personality to investigate Korean consumer crowdfunding behavior for sustainability initiatives in relation to the United Nations 17 SDGs. Seven hypotheses related to Value, Attitude, personal norm, and social norm on sustainability, and participation in sustainability crowdfunding are offered, with personality as a moderator. The findings revealed that Value has substantial impacts on Attitude, personal norm, and social norm. Attitude, personal norm, and social norm on source are found to have positive impacts on participation. Conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism have partial moderating effects on the VAB model. These results offer theoretical and empirical contributions to sustainability crowdfunding in light of the SDGs.
