“…The intercept of MCSE career interest is represented by β 6. The path coefficients represented by γ indicate the effect of exogenous variable; the path coefficients represented by β indicate the effect of endogenous (latent or observed) variables [ 102 ] and ε represents the random error term in the equation [e.g., 103 ]. For example, β 1 PGM is the effect of PGM (endogenous observed variable) on AEB (endogenous latent variable); γ 1 Gender is the effect of gender (observed exogenous variable) on PGM (observed endogenous variable).…”

Past research has shown that growth mindset and motivational beliefs have an important role in math and science career interest in adolescence. Drawing on situated expectancy-value theory (SEVT), this study extends these findings by investigating the role of parental motivational beliefs (e.g., expectancy beliefs, utility values) and parent growth mindset in math on adolescent career interest in math-intensive fields (e.g., mathematics, computer science, statistics, and engineering; MCSE) through adolescent motivational beliefs in math. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized model using data from 290 adolescents (201 girls, 69.3%; Mage = 15.20), who participate in informal STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) youth programs, and their parents (162 parents, 87.7% female) in the United Kingdom and the United States. As hypothesized, adolescent expectancy beliefs, utility values, and growth mindset in math had a significant direct effect on MCSE career interest. Further, there was a significant indirect effect of parental expectancy beliefs in math on MCSE career interest through adolescents’ expectancy beliefs. Similarly, there was a significant indirect effect from parental utility values in math to MCSE career interest through adolescents’ utility values. The findings suggest that parents’ math motivational beliefs play a critical role in adolescent math motivational beliefs and their career interest in math-intensive fields.

“…In NAM, commitment, personal norms, and problem awareness stand as significant determinants in generating pro-social activity (Schwartz, 1977). A lot of recent research has used the norm activation model framework to look at how personal norms (PN) affect behavior in different psychological, environmental, and behavioral settings (Kim & Hwang, 2020;Asadi et al, 2021;Savari et al, 2021;Arkorful, 2022;Ho & Tang, 2022;Javid et al, 2022;Obuobi et al, 2022;Song et al, 2022;Maminirina et al, 2023;Singha et al, 2023). However, (Bamberg et al, 2007) suggest that the norm activation model is well-suited to explaining pro-social or altruistic behavior, while the theory of planned behavior is better for describing the self-interest role in pro-environmental behavior.…”

“…Ascription of responsibility (AR) denotes the perception that one is accountable for the severe repercussions that result from failing to behave pragmatically; personal norm (PN) pertains to the ethical obligation to either do or abstain from a particular activity. The norm activation model (NAM), for explaining pro-environmental and prosocial activities are used by the current literature (e.g., Kim & Hwang, 2020;Asadi et al, 2021;Savari et al, 2021;Ho & Tang, 2022;Javid et al, 2022;Arkorful, 2022;Obuobi et al, 2022;Maminirina et al, 2023;Singha et al, 2023;Song et al, 2023).…”

Environmental psychology has exhibited a notable propensity for promoting pro-environmental conduct as a feasible strategy for confronting environmental issues and fostering sustainable development. Recent research has incorporated the norm activation model (NAM) into several investigations concerning individual and organizational pro-environmental conservation behaviors. The objectives of this literature review were to: 1) examine pro-environmental behaviors previously studied using the NAM framework; and 2) analyze the extended NAM components. 3), understanding NAM construct framing; 4), finding environmental studies' NAM model theories; and 5), assessing variables' importance and linkage, including mediating variables. This review employed a systematic literature review encompassing 53 articles published from 2018 to 2023. The results indicated that 98.11 percent of studies employed NAM by integrating additional constructs to improve its ability to predict environmentally friendly behavior. About 39.62% of research included constructs from other theories to improve the main theory's predictive power. TPB was heavily integrated into the NAM model. The results of the review also indicate that NAM is a strong paradigm for explaining pro-environmental behavior when combined with relevant constructs. Its application differs between core factors like personal norms, awareness of consequences, and ascription of responsibility and literature-introduced notions like motivation, risk, benefits, beliefs, knowledge, personality, and cultural values. These additional factors may greatly affect human pro-environmental behavior, drawing attention to using NAM in environmental behavior studies in new ways.

“…Psychological variables positively associated with pro-environmental behaviors include willingness to sacrifice, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, and green self-identity (Hansmann et al, 2020). Other types of relevant factors include socio-economic variables (Blankenberg and Alhusen, 2018), demographic factors such as family structure (Singha et al, 2023), political attitudes (Korfiatis et al, 2004), as well as behavioral factors such as habits (Singha et al, 2023). Importantly, the literature has found that some of these factors are related to the perceived benefits of the environmental behaviors (Hansmann et al, 2020).…”

What is a behavioral spillover? How can a spillover be uncovered from the data? What is the precise link between the underlying psychological theory of a spillover and the econometric assumptions which are necessary to estimate it? This paper draws on recent advancements in causal inference, behavioral economics, psychology, and neuroscience to develop a framework for the causal evaluation and interpretation of behavioral spillovers. A novel research design is suggested. The paper challenges existing empirical strategies and reevaluates of existing empirical results.
