• Exploring the Attitudes-Action Gap in Household Resource Consumption: Does “Environmental Lifestyle” Segmentation Align with Consumer Behaviour? (2013, background): “Demand-side research also needs to probe why studies of urban resource use [5–8] are finding a gap between attitudes and actions; individuals are not behaving in a manner that is congruent with their stated attitudes and intentions.”
• Pro-environmental behavior correlates with present and future subjective well-being (2016, background): “These items were selected because they are among common behaviors that have been examined in pro-environmental behavior studies (Gilg and Barr 2006; Nordlund and Garvill 2002), and they are simple and daily behaviors.”
• What's driving energy efficient appliance label awareness and purchase propensity? (2010, background): “Further research is needed to identify the currently unobserved factors underlying these common purchase propensities, with particular attention paid to environmental attitudes, psychological factors and social norms (Kahn, 2007; Gilg and Barr, 2006; Barr et al., 2005).”
• Household Adoption of Water-Efficient Equipment: The Role of Socio-Economic Factors, Environmental Attitudes and Policy (2010, methodology): “A perceived environmental threat, such as strong perceptions of the severity of a water shortage, has been found to be closely related to intentions to conserve water by changing behaviour (Kantola, Syme and Nesdale, 1983; Gilg and Barr, 2006; Lam, 2006).”
• Determinants of residential water consumption: Evidence and analysis from a 10‐country household survey (2011, background): “In a study that uses household data from England, Gilg and Barr [2006] also find that water-saving behaviors are positively associated with respondents’ status as owner occupiers, whether they have a tertiary education (e.g., university or polytechnic), are members of community groups and are ‘‘comm”
• Exploring Beliefs About Bottled Water and Intentions to Reduce Consumption The Dual-Effect of Social Norm Activation and Persuasive Information (2015, background): “…water use, the applied psychology literature has largely (if not completely) neglected bottled water consumption and to this extent, only few researchers have recognized a distinction between residential water use and the consumption of water outside of the household (e.g., Gilg & Barr, 2006).”
• Water demand management research: A psychological perspective (2010, positive): “[31] Althoughmost studies rely on education as a proxy for knowledge capability, Clark and Finley [2007] attempted to identify the relationship between specific knowledge of climate change impacts and water conservation behavior.”
