“…Consumers’ green product purchase attitudes can be influenced by consumers’ green product orientation ( Sony and Ferguson, 2017 ). The personal attitude of green product consumption is acknowledged by green product orientation ( Paswan et al, 2017 ; Elias, 2020 ). Amin et al (2020) identified a significant relationship between green product orientation and proenvironmental behavior.…”

This work has aimed to investigate the consumers’ green product purchase attitudes and behavioral intention during COVID-19 pandemic. Data was collected through a survey method of 503 consumers in Malaysia. Data were analyzed using the partial least square method. The findings revealed that fear of COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on green product behavioral intention. Green product literacy, green product orientation, and social influence have a significant influence on green product purchase attitudes. The results also indicated that consumers’ green product purchase attitudes mediate the effect of green product literacy, green product orientation, and social influence on behavioral intention. The findings of this work will provide strategically relevant references to green marketers and retail managers in the understanding of consumers’ green product purchase attitudes and green product behavioral intention during the ongoing uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Heat waves occur frequently in the Middle East countries, including in Israel, and present a health risk ( 28 ). As there are substantial potential detrimental impacts of heat waves on the population ( 7 , 8 ), most especially on vulnerable groups ( 1 , 13 ), it is vital to ensure that all individuals are aware of the hazards, understand the potential impact, and adopt protective behaviors that have proven to be effective in mitigating the consequences ( 20 ).…”

“…Having insights on population behavior and attitudes can tailor risk communication strategies and information directed to the public to the needs and characteristics of the varied population groups ( 12 , 29 ). Campaigns for health protection against heatwaves have to consider psycho-social and cultural characteristics of different ethnicities, as these influence both the perception of the risk and its consequences, as well as the willingness to adopt and implement practical steps in view of the risk ( 28 , 29 ).…”

“…As heat waves do not discriminate between populations and the extreme temperatures are equally felt, it may have been expected that familiarity with signs, symptoms and protective measures would be similar among all populations (30,31). Conversely, some previous studies suggest that minority populations (such as Hispanics or African Americans in the US or Turks in Austria) are often more concerned and vulnerable than the majority groups in regard to climate change and heatwaves (23,28,30). The current study's results may shed some light on the variability found between minority to majority populations.…”

Detrimental health impacts of heatwaves, including excess mortality, are increasing worldwide. To assess risk perceptions, protective knowledge and behaviors concerning heatwaves in Israel, a study was initiated, comparing attitudes of majority (Jewish) and minority (Arab) populations. A quantitative survey was disseminated through an internet panel, to a representative sample of 556 individuals (79% Jews; 21% Arabs). Overall, 74% consider heatwaves a problem, 93% believe that heatwaves' frequencies will increase, 27% are very concerned about the effects of heatwaves. Higher levels of awareness to heatwaves were found among Jewish compared to Arab respondents; 90 vs. 77% (respectively) could name heatwaves' symptoms (p < 0.001); 81 vs. 56% (respectively) reported knowing how to protect themselves (p < 0.001); 74 vs. 47% (respectively) reported knowing what to do when someone suffers from heat stroke (p < 0.001). Arab compared to Jewish respondents presented higher levels of concern about heatwaves' effects (3.22 vs. 3.09 respectively; t −2.25, p = 0.03), while knowledge of protective measures was higher among Jews compared to Arabs (3.67 vs. 3.56 t = 2.13 p = 0.04). A crucial component of enhancing preparedness to heatwaves is empowerment of minority as well as majority groups, to strengthen their capacity to implement protective behavior and elevate their self-belief in their individual ability and fortitude.

“…Indeed, not all groups in the US hold the same beliefs regarding climate change or environmental issues. Research has shown that not only are there differences in susceptibility to climate change by race/ethnicity, but attitudes and behaviours around climate change also vary by race and ethnicity (Elias 2019;Elias et al 2018). The only types of considerations that may be viable long term, however, are those that are appealing to a diversity of positions and are equitable and fair (Carvalho 2010).…”

Using a purposive sample with an even distribution of 299 non-Hispanic Whites, 294 African Americans, 292 Asian Americans and 295 Hispanics, we test a moderated mediation model that examines the relationship between self-reported news media consumption (e.g., non-conservative and conservative) and environmental behavioural intentions. Our study found evidence supporting the mainstreaming hypothesis (converging attitudes) across key variables within the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Our results also reveal non-conservative outlets to be associated with more favourable environmental attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control, while conservative outlets are associated with less favourable levels for two of these three variables. Results also indicate conditional indirect relationships between non-conservative news use on behavioural intentions through our TPB variables, which vary by race/ethnicity.
