In this paper we discuss inclusiveness of identification among farmers in Galicia (Spain) and The Netherlands. Identification with three nested categories-farmers in the local community, farmers in the country, and farmers in Europe was assessed among 167 Dutch and 248 Galician farmers at three points in time: winter of 1993/94, winter 1995 and fall 1995. Our findings suggest that inclusiveness reduces the level of identification. However, the observed patterns of identification were more complex than inclusiveness per se can account for. Borrowing from the common ingroup-identity model, functional and socialization models of identity formation, and a model of politicized collective identity we formulated hypotheses about patterns of identification that were to be expected. On the whole our findings supported our theoretical reasoning. Galician farmers appear to identify much less with farmers in their country and Europe than Dutch farmers do. Inclusiveness of identification appears to be linked to experience with national and supranational political institutions. More political knowledge and involvement appear to generate more inclusive patterns of identification. Among Galician farmers evaluation of the agricultural policy of the European Union is negatively related to identification with farmers in Europe, among Dutch farmers the two are positively related. Finally, more inclusive identities seem to be more politicized.

Based on Ajzen's previous research, the primary aim of this paper is to explore the importance of anticipated emotions in household waste recycling intention beyond the explanation provided by the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). A questionnaire was constructed and given to a sample of 276 students aged 18 to 24 at the University of Santiago de Compostela. Anticipated emotions were measured in relation to the intention, or lack thereof, to separate out household waste for the purposes of recycling. Findings show that negative emotions, in the same (NAE_sd) and the opposite direction (NAE_od) as the action, make the highest contribution to increasing explained variance (R 2 = 6.0%). Furthermore, these variables are also directly and significantly related to intention (NAE_sd (β = −.19); NAE_od (β = .23)), making them more relevant in terms of better explaining this environmentally responsible intention.

El objetivo fundamental de este trabajo es explorar la importancia de las emociones, positivas y negativas, y la conducta pasada en la intención de llevar a cabo conductas académicas deshonestas más allá de la explicación dada por la Teoría de la Conducta Planificada. Se utilizó una muestra final de 262 estudiantes de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 26 años. Los resultados mostraron que las variables añadidas aumentan de manera significativa la capacidad explicativa del modelo (ΔR² =22%). Esto, junto con la relación que presentan las variables con la intención conductual  [emociones positivas (β=.10), conducta pasada (β=.51)], es lo que hace que estas variables adquieran relevancia explicativa en el modelo y nos dote de herramientas necesarias para intervenir y ayudar a mejorar la formación académica de nuestros jóvenes.
