Correction: Divergent effects of environmental concern and risk perception on pro-environmental intention: an international study across 17 countries
Abstract
“The results showed that all statistically significant path coefficients were positive, and that the path coefficient value varied between countries, supporting H1 and H2. This indicated that EC and risk perception were positively associated with pro-environmental intentions. Slovakia (SK) and Lithuania (LT) have EC-to-intention path coefficients higher than 0.9. These two countries have relatively small populations compared to the others; ERP to Intention path coefficients are higher in the United States (US), Finland (FL), and Norway (NO) at 0.8, 0.72, and 0.71, respectively. In all countries, the value of the path coefficient from EC to Intention is greater than the value of the path coefficient from ERP to Intention. This suggests that EC is more likely to affect Intention than ERP. All covariance values are positively significant, with values ranging from 0.38 to 0.68, indicating that the relationship between EC and ERP is moderately correlated.”
