“…Generally, willingness predicts and leads to the realization of the corresponding actual behavior of an individual; however, many previous studies have confirmed that there is a deviation between willingness and behavior in real life, such as in commodity consumption , services purchases (Qu et al, 2022), e-commerce adoption (Li et al, 2020), and land transfer (Zhang et al, 2020a). This deviation has been further identified in the field of pro-environmental behaviors such as green consumption (Rausch and Kopplin, 2021;Wang et al, 2021;Ma et al, 2022;Qiu et al, 2022), green agriculture (Guo et al, 2021;Li et al, 2021), garbage classification (Kuang and Lin, 2021;Zhang et al, 2022;Zhou et al, 2022), bird conservation donation (Eylering et al, 2022), and renewable energy development support (Fang et al, 2021). All these studies concluded that the willingness of an individual is higher than the actual behavior demonstrates.…”
