“…The path analysis showed that the indirect effect of EK on ER through the combination of DEC and GEC was the strongest. Ü nal et al [51] and Slavoljub et al [21] stated that EK can encourage people to construct environmental concerns and awareness for environmental problems, and these environmental concerns and awareness affect people's moral responsibility to protect the environment [65,71,72]. However, the novelty of this research is that encouraging people to acquire both concerns about domestic environmental problems and global environmental problems is the most powerful way to create a sense of environmental responsibility to protect the environment.…”

“…EA can also positively and directly affect EC. As stated by Ü nal, Steg and Gorsira [51], EK can enhance individuals' concerns and awareness of environmental problems. Wurzinger and Johansson [69] also found that tourists with more EK reported a relatively greater EC for the environmental issues related to tourism destinations.…”

“…Chan [50] defined EK as an individual's understanding of knowledge of the environment and relevant issues, such as current environmental situations, the causes of environmental problems and possible impacts. Previous studies have shown that EK could enhance environmental concerns and awareness for environmental problems [21,51]. For instance, Lee [52], Mostafa [53] and Oguz et al [54] demonstrated that by having greater knowledge of environmental problems or issues, people were more likely to behave in a more environmentallyfriendly manner.…”

Recently, both global and domestic environmental events have been occurring more frequently, bringing catastrophic consequences to humans and the environment. These adverse events have caused widespread concern among the general public. In positive terms, these devastating events could potentially enhance people's environmental awareness, which, in turn, could instill a greater sense of environmental responsibility. This study aims to investigate how university students concern themselves with global and domestic catastrophic environmental events and to examine how global and domestic environmental concerns mediate the effect of environmental knowledge and attitudes on university students' environmental responsibility. Students of King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi in Bangkok, Thailand were selected as the participants. A simple random technique was applied to select the research participants. Questionnaire surveys with 863 students were carried out during September-October 2019. A path analysis was performed to test how global and local environmental concerns mediate the effect of environmental knowledge and attitudes on university students' environmental responsibility. The results demonstrated that domestic environmental concerns, taken alone, contributed less to the students' sense of environmental responsibility. Domestic environmental concerns had a stronger effect on environmental responsibility when taken together with global environmental concerns. In addition, both domestic and global environmental concerns could help transform environmental knowledge and attitudes into environmental responsibility. Only environmental attitudes had no direct effect on responsibility. These results show that domestic and global catastrophic environmental events could raise students' levels of concern for the environment, and, ultimately, enhance their sense of responsibility to protect the environment.

This study explores the motivations driving responsible consumption in Vietnam, a collectivistic and populous Asian developing country. Specifically, on the basis of value‐belief‐norm (VBN) theory, it focuses on the direct effects of personal values (biospheric, altruistic, and egoistic values) on green product purchase intent. The empirical collectivistic cultural context of Vietnam was utilized, with data collected from 806 consumers across 35 cities. The study reveals that biospheric values predominantly drive purchase intent for green products; however, the magnitude of egoistic values, particularly health concerns, varies significantly across product categories. Regarding altruistic values, they do not appear to be salient among Vietnamese consumers. Additionally, the environmental motive can act as a mediator between health motive and purchase intent. This indirect effect is particularly strong in the case of organic food. Based on these findings, the authors derive managerial and academic implications.
