“…Regret and disappointment feel quite different (cf., Zeelenberg et al, in press-b), and they have different effects on post decisional evaluations (Inman, Dyer, & Jia, 1997). We thus argue, following van der Pligt, Zeelenberg, van Dijk, de Vries, & Richard (1997), that it is important to be specific about the emotion under investigation because each emotion has its own effects on choice behavior. Therefore we think that research on the effects of anticipated disappointment is needed, in order to come to a better understanding of the different effects of the anticipation of different emotions in the decision making process.…”

“…This supports past research and the importance of control over motivation to recycle, but the prominent role of affective attitude suggests that pleasure-displeasure is also an important antecedent. Prior reviews have critiqued the general lack of inclusion of hedonic motives in prosocial behavior models (Osbaldiston & Schott, 2012), and this criticism can be directed at attitude-behavior models in general ( Van der Pligt, Zeelenberg, van Dijk, de Vries, & Richard, 1998;Zanna & Rempel, 1988). Nevertheless, hedonic theory (Higgins, 1997;Kahneman, 1999) and other models such as Deci and Ryan's (1985) self-determination theory place affective considerations as prime antecedents for sustained behavioral action.…”

Curbside recycling has been a very successful neighborhood-level intervention designed to maximize waste containment, but many communities have specific limitations on what products can be recycled within their community bins and must rely on depots for recycling these specialty items. The purpose of this study was to examine an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) that included both affective and instrumental attitudes and a planning construct to predict depot specialty recycling in a community sample across one month. Participants were 176 residents of detached homes who completed baseline measures of TPB and self-reported behavior one month later. Structural equation modeling identified a modest fit of the TPB, and 48% variance of depot recycling behavior was explained with the constructs of intention, planning and perceived behavioral control, yet these constructs did not perform as well in predicting change in behavior across four weeks. While proximity to the recycling depot did not relate to behavior, it significantly moderated the planning-recycling behavior relationship, whereby those who lived closer to the depot had larger planning-behavior relations than those who lived further away. Developing plans to recycle may help in addition to motivation, but these are still contingent on there being an easy commuting distance to a depot.Key Words: Affect, Instrumental beliefs, planning, depot proximity Predicting Depot Recycling 3 Environmental waste containment becomes more problematic with each passing year due to the rising global population and an increasing consumption of manufactured goods (Oskamp, 2000;Vlek & Steg, 2007). For example, Canadian households produce 13.4 million tonnes of waste (418 kg per person) and 75% of this is sent to landfill (Statistics Canada, 2004.Similar per capita statistics are present in most other developed nations.Clearly recycling is an essential element of any long-term solution to waste control, and how to motivate full participation in recycling programs becomes of critical concern to policy makers. For example, curbside recycling made easy and convenient has been shown to have an enormous effect on recycling efforts in a community (Osbaldiston & Schott, 2012). Large scale policies that involve corporate leadership and make recycling easy and rewarding have shown considerable success in the last few decades (Statistics Canada, 2004). While very promising, products such as organic waste, styrofoam, and soft plastics are not eligible in many curbside community recycling programs at present. This places the burden of specialized recycling at the level of the individual who must collect, bag, transport, and often pay for recycling.Unfortunately, in comparison to curbside (i.e., recycling with containers at one's residence) and public (i.e., casually recycling while at a public place) recycling, very little is known about the motives that underlie depot recycling behavior. Indeed, our literature search found no studies designed to examine depot recycling in ter...
