From plastic bottle recycling to policy support: An experimental test of pro-environmental spillover

TLDR
The authors found evidence for negative spillover among Democrats only, which was mediated by environmental identity: Democrats who recycled the water bottle had lower environmental identities and were less supportive of the green fund than those in the control condition.

The theory of planned behaviour: Self identity, social identity, and group norms

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the combined effects of self-identity and social identity constructs on intention and behaviour, and examined the effect of selfidentity as a function of past experience of performing the behaviour.

Tackling the plastic problem: A review on perceptions, behaviors, and interventions.

TL;DR: The current literature review provides an overview of the existing social-scientific literature on plastic, ranging from risk awareness, consumers' preferences, and predictors of usage behavior to political and psychological intervention strategies to identify potential factors for future interventions to reduce plastic consumption.

Politics and the Plastic Crisis: A Review throughout the Plastic Life Cycle

TL;DR: The politics of plastics is a growing field of inquiry, with the most rapid expansion in the areas of marine pollution and microplastics as discussed by the authors, and the major categories of plastic objects addressed in the current literature, and the different approaches taken to each category.

Meta-analysis of pro-environmental behaviour spillover

TL;DR: This article examined evidence for spillover using a meta-analysis of interventions and found that positive spillover was most likely when interventions targeted intrinsic motivation and when PEB1 and PEB2 were similar.

The limits of energy sufficiency: A review of the evidence for rebound effects and negative spillovers from behavioural change

TL;DR: In this paper, the current state of knowledge on rebound and spillovers from energy sufficiency actions, and on time-use rebounds from downshifting is reviewed, and it concludes that rebound effects can erode a significant proportion of the anticipated energy and emission savings from sufficiency action.

Confidence Limits for the Indirect Effect: Distribution of the Product and Resampling Methods.

TL;DR: Two alternatives for improving the performance of confidence limits for the indirect effect are evaluated: a method based on the distribution of the product of two normal random variables, and resampling methods.
