其他摘要 | The destruction of the environment by human beings has led to global climate change, and it is the responsibility and obligation of every ordinary person to slow down the rate of climate change and achieve "carbon peaking" and "carbon neutrality". Individuals' attitude toward green energy directly affects their green energy adoption behavior and green behavior, and it is the most fundamental logic of environmental protection to investigate how to improve individuals' support for green energy. At present, many researchers at home and abroad have made studies on how to improve individuals' green attitudes and green behaviors from the psychological layer of people. Research shows that at the psychological level, climate change cognitive attitudes (climate change beliefs, climate change attributions, and climate change concerns) are key factors for individuals to support green climate behaviors. Environmental values are human value perceptions of the natural environment and human survival environment, and establishing correct environmental values plays a crucial role in improving individuals' green attitudes and effectively reducing environmentally destructive behaviors. Therefore, this paper focuses on the relationship between climate change cognitive attitudes and environmental values, and green energy attitudes, which is of great practical significance.
This paper first explores the influence of climate change cognitive attitudes and environmental values on the support of green energy based on the survey data of 4705 questionnaires with the general public in China as the research object and finds the influence of the control variables among them. Finally, it was verified that people's climate change perceptions and environmental values have a very significant effect on green energy support, and it was concluded that people's climate change perceptions and environmental values are generally high in China.
Later, this paper takes glass industry practitioners as the research object, and based on 270 questionnaire survey data, explores the impact of glass industry practitioners' cognitive attitudes and environmental values on climate change, their support for green energy, and their willingness to use it, and their similarities and differences with the public's support for tackling climate change and treating green energy. In addition, perceived benefits, perceived ease of use, perceived cost, perceived risk, perceived external pressure, and perceived corporate environmental responsibility are introduced as control variables to achieve the most accurate research results. The results of this study show that the glass industry practitioners' cognitive attitude towards climate change and environmental values have a significant impact on the total effect of green energy support, but the impact on the intention to use is lower than the impact on the degree of support.
The main innovation of this study is to explore the relationship between perceived attitudes toward climate change and environmental values and attitudes toward green energy and to examine the differences between the general public and those working in the glass industry. Since the glass industry is a heavily polluting industrial sector, this method can be extended to related industries in similar industrial sectors to study their practitioners, and thus provide theoretical support for improving the overall green attitudes of practitioners in industrial sectors. |
