Attitude-Intention Consistency in the Context of Energy and Water Conservation: Examining the Moderating Role of Vested Interest
Martinez Gonzalez, Andrea; Reynolds-Tylus, Tobias
Applied Environmental Education and Communication, v20 n4 p319-333 2021
Guided by Crano's vested interest theory (VIT), this study examined how vested interest moderated the relationship between individuals' attitudes and intentions in the context of energy and water conservation. Participants (N = 432) completed a survey on energy emissions (N = 215) or water scarcity (N = 217). Across topics, salience had a main effect on intentions to conserve, and self-efficacy had a main effect on water conservation. Interaction effects in the context of water conservation revealed that immediacy and self-efficacy moderated the effects of attitude toward water conservation on intentions to conserve.
