Hope and climate change: the importance of hope for environmental engagement among young people (2012, background): “When it comes to young people and factors explaining environmental engagement and social engagement in general, social influence from parents and peers has been identified as especially important (Dostie-Goulet 2009 ; Gronhoj and Thogersen 2009 ; Pancer et al.”
Normative Influences on Adolescents’ Self-Reported Pro-Environmental Behaviors: The Role of Parents and Friends (2019, methodology): “The studies above suggest that parents modestly influence their children’s personal environmental norms (Matthies et al., 2012) and actions in favor of the environment (Grønhøj & Thøgersen, 2009, 2012).”
The Intergenerational Transmission of Environmental Concern: The Influence of Parents and Communication Patterns Within the Family (2014, background): “…research all too often uses non-representative convenience samples of college students (e.g., Guastello & Peissig, 1998), questions only one parent in the family (e.g., Grønhøj and Thøgersen, 2009), or does not account for differences between sons and daughters (e.g., Guastello & Peissig, 1998).”

Psychological Barriers to Energy Conservation Behavior: The Role of Worldviews and Climate Change Risk Perception (2018, background): “Some studies find that environmental concern decreases as people get older (Arcury & Christianson, 1990), while others find that it increases (Grønhøj & Thøgersen, 2009).”
Impact of social/personal norms and willingness to sacrifice on young vacationers’ pro-environmental intentions for waste reduction and recycling (2018, background): “…2011), it remains unclear how young vacationers make decisions for environmentally friendly behaviors during their travel (e.g. waste reduction, pro-environmental buying, recycling, garbage sorting) (Grønhøj & Thøgersen, 2009; Kiatkawsin & Han, 2017) and what factors affect such decisions.”
