The adoption of sustainable innovations: Driven by symbolic and environmental motives (2014, positive): “Moreover, individuals take environmental consequences into account when making choices (see De Groot and Steg, 2007, 2008; Steg et al., 2012; Steg and De Groot, 2012, for a review).”
Personal and social factors that influence pro-environmental concern and behaviour: a review. (2014, background): “…later studies have modified the original value system to fit environmental issues (Stern, Dietz, Kalof, & Guagnano, 1995; Stern, Dietz, & Kalof, 1993) and support for the categorization of values into biospheric, egocentric and altruistic dimensions has been found (De Groot & Steg, 2007, 2008).”
The extended Value-Belief-Norm theory predicts committed action for nature and biodiversity in Europe (2020, background): “…environment and the biosphere) were often found (or considered) as strictly related to altruistic values in the prediction of pro-environmental behaviours, De Groot and Steg (2007) found a distinction between them across five countries, thus corroborating the distinctiveness of biospheric values.”
Mean or green: which values can promote stable pro‐environmental behavior? (2009, background): “…evidence suggests that proenvironmental behavior is indeed a function of moral considerations and altruistic and/or biospheric values (e.g., Guagnano 2001; Joireman et al. 2001; Schultz et al. 2005) and people evaluate altruistic and biospheric values as important (De Groot & Steg 2007, 2008).”
General Beliefs and the Theory of Planned Behavior: The Role of Environmental Concerns in the TPB (2007, background): “Most studies have shown that general pro-environmental beliefs, intentions, and behavior are positively related to altruistic or biospheric values and concerns, and negatively related to egoistic values and concerns (e.g., De Groot & Steg, 2007; Nordlund & Garvill, 2002, 2003; Schultz et al., 2005”
Encouraging pro-environmental behaviour : An integrative review and research agenda (2009, positive): “First, scholars have examined the value-basis of environmental beliefs and behaviour (De Groot & Steg, 2007, 2008; Nordlund & Garvill, 2002; Schultz & Zelezny, 1999; Stern & Dietz, 1994; Stern, Dietz, & Kalof, 1993; Stern, Dietz, Kalof, & Guagnano, 1995).”
The social-psychological determinants of climate change risk perceptions: Towards a comprehensive model (2015, methodology): “…whereas egoistic values tend to be more pronounced in individualistic cultures. series of extensive studies across various contexts and cultures (De Groot & Steg, 2007, 2008, 2010; Schultz, 2001; Steg, De Groot, Dreijerink, Abrahamse, & Siero, 2011; Steg & De Groot, 2012; Stern & Dietz, 1994).”
Individual differences in values determine the relative persuasiveness of biospheric, economic and combined appeals. (2017, methodology): “Egoistic values reflect a key concern for the self, whereas biospheric values reflect a key concern for nature and the environment (De Groot & Steg, 2007, 2008; Stern, 2000; Stern, Dietz, Abel, Guagnano, & Kalof, 1999).”
Relationships between value orientations, self-determined motivational types and pro-environmental behavioural intentions (2010, methodology): “Second, we measured donation intention by means of an instrument developed by De Groot and Steg (2008). Respondents were asked howmuchmoney theywould donate to a humanitarian or an environmental organisation.”
