Abstract:
This review paper discusses determinants of pro-environmental behavior on Resources Conservation and Recycling from 1987 to 2017. The main factors which influence pro-environmental behavior include both external and internal factors—specifically, demographic variables and psychological factors. The main purpose of this work is to review the literature (i.e., published studies) regarding the impact, relations, and mutual effects on pro-environmental behavior of each group of factors. Identifying the determinants of pro-environmental behavior is helpful when formulating the most appropriate and effective policies for improving the public’s behavior toward protecting the natural environment.
