Tracing the Path from Personality — via Cooperativeness — to Conservation (2013, background): “Indeed, concerning Openness to Experience, our results are strongly aligned with those reported by Markowitz et al. (2012) and others (Hirsh, 2010; Hirsh & Dolderman, 2007).”
Are you an energy saver at home? The personality insights of household energy conservation behaviors based on theory of planned behavior (2021, background): “These residents hold relatively lower extroversion and agreeableness and present more self-centered (Hirsh and Dolderman, 2007).”
Values, identity and pro-environmental behaviour (2014, background): “, 2002 ; Brown & Kasser, 2005; Hirsh & Dolderman 2007 ; Kilbourne & Pickett, 2008 ; Gatersleben et al.”
Energy saving in Swedish households. The (relative) importance of environmental attitudes (2011, background): “Based on the activation of altruistic and self-transcendent values (cf. Hirsh and Dolderman, 2007), people ‘‘may refrain from individual short-term gains if the society at large is better off in the long term’’ (Berglund and Matti, 2006: 555).”
Unearthing the “Green” Personality (2016, background): “One paper found a strong effect of Big Five Agreeableness on environmental goals, r = .31 (Hirsh & Dolderman, 2007), and another set of three studies using an abbreviated Big Five personality scale observed that Agreeableness modestly predicted electricity conservation, r = .15 (Milfont & Sibley,…”
Employee workplace spirituality and pro-environmental behavior in the hotel industry (2018, background): “Connectedness to nature, on the other hand, has been acknowledged and asserted to be a vital remedy for the world’s environmental crisis, and some scholars believe that “the root of environmental problems is the human sense of disconnection from nature” (Hirsh & Dolderman, 2007, p. 1586).”
Sex, Personality, and Sustainable Consumer Behaviour: Elucidating the Gender Effect (2012, background): “Another set of psychological constructs that have been shown to predict SCB are personality traits (linkages E and F in Fig. 1; Hirsh 2010; Hirsh and Dolderman 2007).”
Personality and environmental concern (2010, background): “Although this relationship was not found in the preliminary study that employed the Big Five (Hirsh & Dolderman, 2007), it was previously found to predict support for environmental preservation (Wiseman & Bogner, 2003) when measured with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (Eysenck & Eysenck,…”
The relationship between materialistic values and environmental attitudes and behaviors: A meta-analysis (2013, unknown): “We decided to exclude measures that were concerned with identity or self-image (Ecological Self Scale: Hirsh & Dolderman, 2007; Ecological Identification: Hinds & Sparks, 2008) as these did not explicitly focus on attitudes towards the environment.”
Time Perspective and Sustainable Behavior (2014, background): “Yet, it is often easier for us to think more concretely about current and often conflicting social and/or personal issues (e.g., Hamilton, 2010; Hirsh & Dolderman, 2007).”
