TLDR
In this paper, the authors explored the relation between sustained attention, processing speed, and working memory and the participants' involvement in cognitively effortful energy saving behaviors and found that the efficiency of the aforementioned cognitive mechanisms was positively related to the frequency of saving behaviors that required monitoring, integration, and inhibition to be implemented in daily behaviors and routines.About:

The Intention–Behavior Gap
Paschal Sheeran,Thomas L. Webb +1 more
TL;DR: The authors synthesize research on intention-behavior relations to address questions such as: How big is the intention−behavior gap? When are intentions more or less likely to get translated into action? What kinds of problems prevent people from realizing their intentions? And what strategies show promise in closing the intention −behavior gap and helping people do the things that they intend to do.

Exploring the effects of normative factors and perceived behavioral control on individual’s energy-saving intention: An empirical study in eastern China
TL;DR: In this paper, an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) model is employed to narrow the gap of focusing on individual's energy-saving intention in developing countries and limited research has been conducted to explore the combined effects of normative factors and perceived behavioral control.

Prediction of household electricity consumption and effectiveness of concerted intervention strategies based on occupant behaviour and personality traits
TL;DR: The proposed Support Vector Regression model is able to select the optimal intervention strategy and to predict the maximum electricity savings for each household and identifies five types of households with different combinations of extraversion and conscientiousness that respond differently to the optimised interventions.

The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.
Reuben M. Baron,David A. Kenny +1 more
TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.
