Article Abstract
In view of global environmental deterioration and climate change, researchers from multiple fields of the behavioral sciences examine the determinants of pro-environmental behavior. Research on pro-environmental behavior is dominated by the use of self-report measures, which relates to critical validity problems. Some of these problems can be addressed by studying consequential behavior in behavioral paradigms (i.e., systematically arranged situations of actual environmental relevance). However, pro-environmental behavior paradigms have been scattered across disciplines, and many researchers may not be aware of the wealth of available paradigms. The present review aims to acquaint researchers across disciplinary borders with the behavioral paradigms developed to study pro-environmental behavior in different domains. A systematic literature search revealed 99 ad hoc paradigms and five validated paradigms of pro-environmental behavior. I review how different authors have succeeded in implementing the consequences of pro-environmental behavior in standardized field, laboratory, or online situations, point to caveats in the use of behavioral paradigms, and illustrate how researchers can select a paradigm for their own research.

Introduction: Public engagement is critical to the conservation of industrial heritage sites, yet the psychological mechanisms underlying support behaviors remain understudied. This study investigates how perceived value, environmental sustainability awareness, social identity, and perceived government support shape the public's willingness to participate in and financially support industrial heritage conservation. Particular attention is given to the mediating role of place attachment.

This study examines how green marketing communications by eco-friendly tourism providers influence tourists' intentions to visit sustainable destinations, considering the mediating roles of tourists' eco-friendly attitudes and green destination trust, as well as the moderating role of biospheric values. We adopted a cross-sectional survey of 317 tourists in China's Jiuzhaigou Valley and analyzed the data using SMART-PLS. The results show that green marketing activities significantly increase tourists' pro-environmental attitudes and trust in green destinations, which in turn enhance their intentions to visit eco-friendly destinations.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of cultural intelligence on individuals' pro-environmental behavior.
Design/methodology/approach: Based on the social identity theory, this study employs a questionnaire survey method and utilizes hierarchical regression analysis to examine the relationship between cultural intelligence and pro-environmental behavior, as well as to explore the mediating mechanisms and boundary condition.
Findings: 1) Cultural intelligence is positively related to individual's pro-environmental behavior.
Background: Addressing global environmental challenges requires an understanding the factors that influence pro-environmental behaviour.
Objective: This review summarises Chilean research that explores how environmental knowledge, nature connection, and prosociality influence such behaviour. The review summarises Chilean studies on these driving factors and discuss their implications for environmental education strategies.
