“…In this study, PBC means that the public has time, money and ability to pay for their healthy housing. In other words, the more the public can control the above mentioned factors, the more the behavioral intention will be conducted ( 42 ). As such, the following hypothesis is proposed in this study:…”

Healthy housing can set its occupants completely in good physical, mental and social conditions, but there is a lack of research in China on the public's willingness to pay (WTP) for healthy housing. From the perspective of cognitive psychology, this study constructs an analytical framework based on the model of “theory of planned behavior” (TPB), the theory of selective information exposure, and the model of “emotions as social information,” while exploring the effect mechanism of the online reviews on the public's WTP for healthy housing during COVID-19 pandemic. In combination with eye-tracking experiments and subjective reports, physiological, psychological and behavioral multimodal data on WTP of 65 participants for healthy housing are collected. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is adopted to analyze the formation effect mechanism of the public's WTP for healthy housing. This study acquires the following results: (i) Information attentiveness to online reviews on different valence information of healthy housing as obtained in eye tracking experiments delivers significant effect on attitude, subjective norm (SN) and perceived behavioral control (PBC), but has no direct effect on the public's WTP for healthy housing; (ii) Hypotheses from TPB model are verified. attitude, PBC and SN can all make significant effect on WTP for healthy housing, with attitude showcasing the most prominent effect; and (iii) In terms of the mediating effect, information attentiveness can deliver significant indirect effect on WTP through attitude.

“…The essence of residents’ responsibility cognition is to recognize the significance and value of environmental governance behavior, enhance their self-efficacy and stimulate their initiative. The government’s environmental governance publicity can also enhance rural residents’ awareness of responsibility, sense of responsibility and mission and encourage individuals to take the initiative to take responsibility and fulfill their environmental governance responsibilities [ 80 ].…”

Based on a survey of 2343 rural residents in China, this paper adopts a binary logistic regression model as the analytical tool to study the impact of rural residents’ social network and sense of responsibility regarding their participation in environmental governance. The results show that the cost, frequency and scope of social network activities have positive and significant influences on resident participation in rural environmental governance. The cost of a social network is conducive to building a rural social network, enhancing the connection of interests and promoting the formation of a rural community. Extending social network objectives from family members to villagers can improve the cultural identity and emotional identity of rural residents. The increase in the frequency of social network activities can not only enhance trust among residents, but also reduce the cost of environmental governance mobilization. The scope of a social network acts as an inhibitor whereby social interaction beyond the scope of rural areas will reduce identification with rural emotions. The four dimensions, including responsibility cognition, responsibility will, responsibility emotion and responsibility behavior have significant influences on resident participation in rural environmental governance. Residents’ sense of responsibility plays the role of an introverted driving force for them to take part in rural environmental governance, which itself helps to overcome “non-participation” behaviors of “rational smallholders” to a certain extent. Furthermore, it endows rural environmental governance with resilience. So, it is of significance to enhance rural residents’ social networks and to improve rural residents’ cognition of collective responsibility.

“…(2020) proposed that consumer perceived CSR image can enhance consumers' identification with companies and their environmental responsibilities, promote their participation in sustainable environmental behavior, and trigger citizenship behaviors such as recommendation and advocacy. Based on the reciprocity perspective, Wan et al. (2021) suggested that environmentally responsible corporate behavior and individual proenvironmental behavior comprise a type of resource swap.…”

“…Accordingly, CSR image started to receive more attention during and after COVID-19 (V at am anescu et al, 2021; He and Harris, 2020). In the field of proenvironmental behavior, studies have verified the promotion effect of CSR image on individuals' proenvironmental behavior, mainly from the perspectives of identity and reciprocity (Curras-Perez et al, 2018;Dang et al, 2020;Chuah et al, 2020;Wan et al, 2021). Based on the identity perspective, Dang et al (2020) suggested that when consumers have a high perceived CSR image, they will believe that companies will engage in business activities that protect the environment and benefit consumers.…”

PurposeThis study investigated whether there are differences in the effects of green traditional media communication (GTMC) and green social media communication on consumers' intention to cocreate green value (ICGV) in post-COVID-19 China. The authors further tested the chain mediating role of cocreation efficacy and cocreation outcome expectation and the moderating role of perceived CSR image.Design/methodology/approachUsing a survey, we collected a dataset of 683 consumers through stratified random sampling in main shopping malls in four Chinese cities. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the conceptual framework and hypotheses, and bootstrapping was used to estimate the mediated standardized regression coefficients. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to test the moderating effect.FindingsGTMC, firm-created content (FCC), and user-generated content (UGC) all had positive effects on ICGV. Cocreation efficacy and cocreation outcome expectation had a chain mediation effect in GTMC and ICGV, UGC, and ICGV. Perceived CSR image positively moderated the effects of both GTMC and FCC on ICGV. However, perceived CSR image did not significantly moderate the relationship between UGC and ICGV.Originality/valueThis study contributes to our understanding of the effect of green media communication on consumers' ICGV in post-COVID-19 China. It also develops the concepts of cocreation efficacy and cocreation outcome expectation. Moreover, analyzing the chain mediating role of cocreation efficacy and cocreation outcome expectation in green media communication and ICGV extends social cognitive theory to the context of green value cocreation. Finally, examining the moderating role of perceived CSR image provides a basis for understanding the boundary conditions of green media communication's effect on ICGV.
