Abstract
Which factors are associated with circular consumption behavior in the field of mobility? To answer this question, we conducted a cross-sectional survey study with n = 72 participants. The questionnaire included items on egoistic and biospheric values, descriptive norms, personal norms, and the two outcome behaviors willingness to live car-less and willingness to use car-sharing instead of owning a car. We used simple linear regression to model the relationship between the variables and found that egoistic and biospheric values were associated with personal norms, which in turn were strongly positively associated with the two outcome behaviors. Furthermore, we found a positive association between descriptive norms and the outcome behaviors mediated by personal norms. Theoretical and practical implications can be derived from this, such as the importance of descriptive norms as antecedents of personal norms and thus, for pro-environmental behaviors, actions, and interventions. However, in order to determine the influence of the investigated determinants on circular consumption behaviors in the area of mobility more precisely, further studies and experiments showing causal relationships are indispensable.
