Psychological Restoration in Nature as a Positive Motivation for Ecological Behavior (2001, methodology): “The General Ecological Behavior Scale (Kaiser, 1998; Kaiser & Wilson, 2000) consists of 51 items that represent different types of ecological behavior (e.g., “I bring empty bottles to a recycling bin”) and some nonenvironmental prosocial behaviors (e.g., “Sometimes I give change to panhandlers”).”
Green consumption does not make people cheat: Three attempts to replicate moral licensing effect due to pro-environmental behavior (2019, result): “This Rasch-calibrated scale had a somewhat lower person separation reliability, relps= .70, and internal consistency, α=0.64, than in previous studies (e.g., Byrka et al., 2017; Kaiser & Wilson, 2000), but it still produced variable scores (SD=0.72, see also General Discussion).”
Environmental Protection and Nature as Distinct Attitudinal Objects (2013, background): “Such a reduced range of responses has previously proven to be less prone to response biases and other types of errors (see Kaiser & Wilson, 2000).”
The relations between natural and civic place attachment and pro-environmental behavior (2010, background): “The general ecological behavior scale (GEB; Kaiser, 1998; Kaiser & Wilson, 2000) assesses 51 ecological behaviors in seven domains: garbage removal, water and power conservation, ecologically aware consumer behavior, garbage inhibition, volunteering in natureprotection activities, ecological…”
Feel good, stay green: Positive affect promotes pro-environmental behaviors and mitigates compensatory “mental bookkeeping” effects (2018, unknown): “Scenarios were adapted from items and behaviors used in previous work on pro-environmental behavior (Attari, DeKay, Davidson, & de Bruin, 2010; Kaiser & Wilson, 2000; Lee, Kim, Kim, & Choi, 2014).”
Psychological restoration in nature as a source of motivation for ecological behaviour (2007, methodology): “To reduce error variance (for example Kaiser & Wilson 2000), and following common practice, we recoded ‘never’ (=1), ‘seldom’ (=2) and ‘sometimes’ (”
Ecological behavior and its environmental consequences: a life cycle assessment of a self-report measure (2003, methodology): “Generally, our research reveals the GEB scale to be a reasonably reliable behavior measure: Item response theory-based reliability ranges from r = 0.71 (Kaiser, 1998) and 0.72 (Kaiser & Biel, 2000; Kaiser & Wilson, 2000) to 0.80 (Kaiser & Gutscher, in press; see also Kaiser & Keller, 2001).”
Social norms and cooperation in real-life social dilemmas (2008, methodology): “Following Kaiser (1998; Kaiser and Wilson, 2000; Kaiser et al., 1999), environmentally responsible behaviour was measured by means of a battery of behaviour items, which varied from very ‘‘easy” to very ‘‘difficult” ones (i.e., varied in how demanding they were on individual abilities and resources)”
A comparative study of Canadian and Taiwanese grade 5 children’s environmental behaviors, attitudes, concerns, emotional dispositions, and knowledge (2005, background): “In general, individuals’ awareness, views, and behavior toward the environment were influenced by political ideology, economical settings, and social structures within certain cultures ( Kaiser & Wilson, 2000; Wu & Smith, 1997).”
