“…Through the constant feedback intervention of information, although the individual's cognition of resources and environment can be changed, different behaviors will eventually occur due to differences in individuals' values and behavioral motivation. This is consistent with the view of Locke (2000) [14] and Courbalay et al (2015) [15], who also believe that individual behavior is jointly determined by cognition and values. In the process of information intervention on express delivery packaging waste recycling behavior, different values may also have an impact on individual recycling behavior.…”

Changing residents’ recycling behavior at the source of waste generation is a fundamental way to solve the environmental and resource problems caused by express delivery packaging waste. Information intervention is a common means to help transform individual environmental protection behavior. In this study, behavioral experiments were used to examine the changes in individual express packaging waste recycling behaviors under the intervention of written and pictorial information. Differences in information processing and behavior decision-making among individuals (N = 660) categorized as self-interested, pro-relation, or pro-social were analyzed. Results showed that (1) recycling behavior is divided into persuasive, purchasing, disposal, and civil behavior. (2) Recycling behavior is differs significantly due to an individual’s education background, state of health, and interpersonal relationships. (3) Both written and pictorial information can positively change an individual’s recycling behavior, and their effectiveness is not significantly different. (4) Pictorial information has a stronger impact on purchasing behavior than written information. (5) Feedback from written information cannot effectively promote the overall recycling behavior of self-interested groups, but it can improve the overall recycling behavior of pro-relationship groups and pro-social groups. (6) Information intervention cannot effectively impact civil behavior, even among pro-social individuals. The research provides an important theoretical reference and practical basis for improving individual recycling behavior at its source.

“…Locke [14] believe that all the human behaviors are relative to cognition, emotion and other factors. Courbalay et al [15] found that cognition cannot only influence behavior decision at the level of consciousness, but also plays a role in the unconscious level as it can influence the individual's behavior through mechanisms such as habits. Wossink and Wenum [16] indicated that the improvement of cognition will inevitably lead to reasonable desired behaviors.…”

There exists a complex relationship between cognition and behavior. Based on the characteristic that individuals have negative effects on the environment, this article defined the concept of undesired environmental behavior and explored the interaction effect of environmental context in the phenomenon of “disunity of cognition and behavior.” According to the survey data of Chinese residents, three main factors of the individual's environmental context were identified through factor analysis, including social norm, policy and regulation, and facilities support. The results of hierarchical linear regression show that: (1) Both environmental cognition and environmental context can significantly predict undesired environmental behavior, and social norm as well as facilities support can inhibit undesired environmental behavior except policy and regulation; (2) Undesired environmental behavior is affected by the interactions between environmental cognition and environmental context. Particularly, social norm and facilities support have influences on the relationship between environmental cognition and environmental context, and the relationship between the two is most influenced by facilities support. Finally, this article put forward related policy implications. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 1361–1370, 2018

“…Evidence shows that personality is associated with PB assessed through self-report measures, suggesting that agreeableness, extraversion, openness, and conscientiousness are positively associated with PB, while neuroticism is negatively associated with PB (e.g., Oda et al, 2014;Habashi et al, 2016;Xie et al, 2016;Guo et al, 2018b). These findings have been confirmed by researches using behavioral measures in both laboratory settings and in real world (e.g., Ben-Ner and Kramer, 2010;Courbalay et al, 2015;Habashi et al, 2016). However, a recent meta-analysis shows that extraversion and neuroticism are not related to PB measured in economic games (Thielmann et al, 2020).…”

Personality has been considered as important influential factors of prosocial behavior (PB). This study aims to investigate whether the personality-PB association revealed in the real world is applicable to cyberspace. Researchers further considered moral identity (MI), empathy, and social self-efficacy as mediators accounting for the association of personality and online prosocial behavior (OPB). Self-reported measures were administrated to 1398 participants from eastern China. Results showed (1) extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness were positively related to OPB, while neuroticism was negatively related to OPB; (2) perspective taking could serve as a mediator between all big five traits and OPB, social self-efficacy did the same job unless the predictor was agreeableness. Empathic concern and MI were less important mediators partly because OPB involves no face-to-face interaction. These findings show that personality has a significant effect on OPB through its influence on moral development.
