Normology: Integrating insights about social norms to understand cultural dynamics (2015, background): “In a study correlating various norm representations and emotions with environmental behaviors, Thøgersen (2006) found evidence for two kinds of internalization: introjected norms, which people follow to avoid guilt, and self-integrated norms, which people follow to express their values.”
The role of place identity and place attachment in breaking environmental protection laws (2010, methodology): “…activation theory and is supported by the empirical evidence provided by Wenzel (2004a, 2004b) for tax behaviour, Tyler (2006a) for obeying the law, Thørgensen (2006) for pro-environmental behaviours, Corral-Verdugo and Frı́as-Armenta (2006) for water conservation, and Frı́as-Armenta et al.…”
The Effect of Empathy in Environmental Moral Reasoning (2010, background): “Specifically, Thøgersen (2006) used cognitive moral development theory (Kohlberg, 1984) and moral socialization theory (Hoffman, 2000) to explain the features of personal norms and their influence on environmental behavior.”
The Norm Activation Model: An exploration of the functions of anticipated pride and guilt in pro-environmental behaviour (2013, background): “Previous research underscores the importance of activated personal norms for understanding people’s pro-environmental behaviour (e.g., Thøgersen, 2006).”
Contingent effects of social norms on tourists’ pro-environmental behaviours: the role of Chinese traditionality (2020, methodology): “…indicates, the external social norms are indirect and may not necessarily trigger PEBs; to be effective, they need to be internalised as personal norm, which then predicts subsequent PEBs (Bertoldo & Castro, 2016; Biel & Thogersen, 2007; Collado et al., 2019; Schwartz, 1977; Thogersen, 2006).”
Positive and negative spillover effects from electric car purchase to car use (2013, background): “We find that electric car owners use their vehicles significantly more often than conventional 3 For further descriptions of this approach see, Klöckner and Matthies (2004); Nayum, et al. (2013); Thøgersen (2006).”
Climate change skepticism among adolescents (2015, background): “The parents’ actions, views, and attitudes become a sort of descriptive social norm for how one should think and act (see also Thøgersen 2006).”
Explaining the Paradox: How Pro-Environmental Behaviour can both Thwart and Foster Well-Being (2013, neutral): “However, an important factor for the extent to which you are likely to derive eudaimonic well-being from engagement in pro-environmental behaviour is the extent to which you internalized these group values and norms [90–92].”
The Motivational Roots of Norms for Environmentally Responsible Behavior (2009, background): “Psychological norm theory, such as Schwartz’s (1977) norm-activation theory, suggests that social norms can be more or less internalized (see also Thogersen, 2006 ).”
