“…Consequently, these individuals feel compelled to invest more effort into protecting the environment to reduce their chances of exposure to environmental hazards (Jiang et al, 2021 ). As vulnerability is recognized as a condition of impairment, more responsibility must be extended to those who are especially vulnerable (Gross and McGoey, 2015 ). People who are aware of the vulnerability of the environment feel responsible for it and choose to make environmentally friendly purchases (Channa et al, 2022 ).…”

Although extensive research has been conducted on promoting pro-environmental behaviors among consumers, little is known about whether and how negative anthropomorphic message framing (NAMF) and nostalgia affect pro-environmental behavior. To provide a framework for explaining pro-environmental behavior, this study integrates protection motivation theory, the stimulus-organism-response model, and message framing. To create the model of the influences on pro-environmental behavior, NAMF was employed as the external stimulus; the sense of environmental responsibility, environmental empathy, perceived threat, and perceived vulnerability as the psychological and cognitive response factors; pro-environmental behavior as the final decision of consumers; and nostalgia as the moderating variable. An online questionnaire was distributed and 380 usable questionnaires were collected using convenience sampling and analyzed using two complementary approaches: partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and necessary condition analysis (NCA). PLS-SEM results showed that pro-environmental behavior was significantly affected by NAMF (β = 0.313, t-value = 5.583), environmental responsibility (β = 0.207, t-value = 3.994), and perceived threats (β = 0.252, t-value = 4.889). Meanwhile, an increase in nostalgia increased the effect of NAMF and environmental responsibility on pro-environmental behavior. The NCA results revealed that NAMF (d = 0.108, p < 0.001) and perceived threat (d = 0.209, p < 0.001) were key factors of pro-environmental behavior. In addition, for high level of pro-environmental behavior (>80%), NAMF (12.1%) and perceived threat (39.6%) are required. Finally, we offer several suggestions based on the results of our empirical research. For example, marketing and service offerings should be tailored to the needs of masses with different nostalgic tendencies to enhance their pro-environmental behaviors.

“Uncertainty” is variously understood as incompleteness or absence of knowledge, but also has been treated as a physical property, a mental state, a moral condition, a public problem, an economic commodity, a strategic production, or a cultural property. Its study lacks an agreed‐upon nomenclature and definitions of fundamental concepts. Only relatively recently has uncertainty been studied systematically from constructivist standpoints, or recognized as having a multifarious nature. Nevertheless, with the publication in 2015 of the Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies , serious scholarship on this topic may be said to have arrived. Research programs have addressed both the intentional and unintended production of uncertainty, the uses that people make of it, and its roles in underpinning various forms of social processes and, indeed, social capital. Emerging research programs are increasingly multidisciplinary, in recognition of the fact that the topic of uncertainty is not exclusive to any one discipline.
