Theoretical perspectives on pro-environmental behaviours

Abstract

The paper outlines a synthesis of the models (The rationalist models, models based on Theory of Reasoned Action/ Theory of Planned Behavior, prosocial models) and antecedents of pro-environmental behaviors. The values models applicable for the study of pro-environmental behaviours (Rokeach’s; Schwartz’s; Kollmus and Agyeman synthesis), are presented afterwards, as the results of the studies which confirm the predictive role of values when it comes to pro-environmental behaviour.
