• Green identity, green living? The role of pro-environmental self-identity in determining consistency across diverse pro-environmental behaviours (2010, result): “Yet, in contrast to previous studies on spill-over effects between PEBs (e.g., Barr et al., 2005; Thøgersen & Ölander, 2006), we found that pro-environmental values (measured using the NEP) did not predict any of the PEBs.”
• Applying institutional theory to the low-carbon energy transition (2016, background): “At the most basic level, home ownership rather than rental appears to stimulate energy saving activities (Barr et al., 2005; Babooram and Hurst, 2010).”
• Assessing the Effectiveness of Energy Efficiency Measures in the Residential Sector Gas Consumption Through Dynamic Treatment Effects: Evidence from England and Wales (2022, background): “Although there are behavioural aspects directly related to choices regarding the adoption of EE measures (Barr et al., 2005; Trotta, 2018), we focus here on the impact of the adoption of these measures over time on gas consumption as mediated by behaviour and not on what preferences lead to the…”
• Factors affecting energy-saving behaviours and energy efficiency investments in British households (2018, background): “Barr et al. (2005), assessing studies on the categorisation of energy behaviours at the household level, suggested that two main fundamental groups of energy behaviour exist.”
• Environmental Policy Theory Given Bounded Rationality and Other-regarding Preferences (2011, background): “Empirical studies also demonstrate how to direct energy saving choices in the presence of habits (Stern 1992; Barr et al. 2005).”
• Energy saving in Swedish households. The (relative) importance of environmental attitudes (2011, background): “Given the difference in size of dwellings, people living in detached housing generally have stronger economic incentives to save energy than people living in apartment buildings (see, e.g., Barr et al., 2005: 1426).”
• Different shades of green? Unpacking habitual and occasional pro-environmental behavior (2015, background): “Habitual actions, often described as ‘doing without thinking’, are recurring activities that require limited planning and cognitive effort (Barr et al., 2005: 1426).”
