Exploring inner and outer worlds: A quantitative study of worldviews, environmental attitudes, and sustainable lifestyles (2014, background): “Thus, complementary to conceptualizing environmental behaviors to result from ‘altruism,’ demanding actions from the individual that are at odds with his or her self-interest, some authors have argued that sustainable lifestyles can be seen as a healthy expression of human nature (Kaplan, 2000).”
Personal and Contextual Factors Supporting the Switch to Transit Use: Evaluating a Natural Transit Intervention (2003, background): “In contrast, the benefits of transit, such as lowered pollution and increased health and equity, often do not motivate behavior change the way immediate psychological benefits can (Kaplan, 2000; Van Vugt, Van Lange, & Meertens, 1996).”
The positive psychology of sustainability (2012, background): “SB is sometimes considered annoying, inconvenient, and producer of sacrifice (Lindenberg and Steg 2007; Kaplan 2000).”
Building a model of commitment to the natural environment to predict ecological behavior and willingness to sacrifice (2011, background): “Our approach e conceptualizing willingness to sacrifice from an interdependence theoretic perspective, motivated by relational dependence e is comparatively less altruism-centered, and thereforemay bettermotivate pro-environmental behavior (cf., Kaplan, 2000).”
Psychological and Situational Influences on Commuter-Transport-Mode Choice (2005, background): “Perceived control repeatedly emerges in the literature as crucial to proenvironmental behavior (Kaplan, 2000).”
Pathways to Action Competence for Sustainability—Six Themes (2013, result): “…action as concerns theoretical assumptions and criteria for sampling, this study supports findings of sociopsychological studies (De Young, 2000; Kaplan, 2000; Stern & Gardner, 1981; Zavestoski, 1998) in which self-esteem, self-efficacy, participation/belongingness, authenticity, and perceived…”
Development of the servant leadership assessment instrument (2005, background): “Kaplan (2000) states that altruism is helping others selflessly just for the sake of helping, which involves personal sacrifice, although there is no personal gain.”
An operational model for mainstreaming ecosystem services for implementation (2008, background): “Their role is to help stakeholders understand issues so as to avoid confusion and overcome helplessness (69, 71).”
Seven cognitive concepts for successful eco-design (2015, background): “The “Reasonable Person Model” suggested by Kaplan (2000) asserts that the sensation of being overwhelmed by complexity is a central problem in environmental decisions.”
Explaining the Paradox: How Pro-Environmental Behaviour can both Thwart and Foster Well-Being (2013, unknown): “Unfortunately, behaving in a pro-environmental way is often perceived as difficult, aggravating, and potentially threatening one‘s quality of life [7–11], thus as something one would not do out of self-interest: ―While frugality may be accepted as a necessary feature of the future it is usually port”
Normative, Gain and Hedonic Goal Frames Guiding Environmental Behavior (2007, background): “Indeed, when people believe that their contribution makes no difference, they are less likely to engage in pro-environmental behavior (e.g., Lee & Holden, 1999; Lubell, 2002; see also Kaplan, 2000).”
Altruism, Self-Interest, and the Reasonable Person Model of Environmentally Responsible Behavior (2005, background): “In a recent essay, Kaplan (2000) investigated the roles of self-interest and altruism in what he called the Reasonable Person Model of ERB.”
Creating a larger role for environmental psychology: The Reasonable Person Model as an integrative framework (2009, background): “We call the framework the Reasonable Person Model (RPM) (Kaplan, 2000; Kaplan & Kaplan, 2003), not only because of its contrasts to the rationality framework (Shafir & LeBoeuf, 2002), but also because of the vital roles that reasonableness plays in civil behavior.”
