Summary: This study investigated preferred messaging approaches and motivators for encouraging tourists to engage in linen reuse behavior in hotels, revealing that the monetary incentive messaging approach was the most preferred. The effectiveness of different messaging approaches was found to be driven by four underlying proenvironmental dimensions, providing practical implications for hotel operators and governments.

Summary: The study reveals that most hotel guests exhibit three energy-use profiles: Resistant to Change, Indifferent to Change, and Prone to Change. These findings could assist decision-makers in the hospitality industry to gain a better understanding of guests' energy-related behaviors, enabling them to develop interventions tailored to effectively reduce energy consumption in hotel buildings.

Summary: High-income countries, though home to only 16% of the global population, produce a significant amount of waste, much of which ends up in landfills. Environmental messaging should focus on reducing consumption, particularly of non-essential comfort goods, by using social norms to influence behavior. A study conducted at a marine park in Portugal found that a positive injunctive norm message significantly reduced paper straw use, demonstrating the potential impact of normative messaging in waste reduction efforts.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between green practices and hotel guests' visit intention in the luxury hotel sector based on the theory of social identity. It also examines the mediating mechanisms of perceived value fit and promotion focus, as well as the moderating effect of environmental behavior. The findings indicate that green hotel practices positively impact visit intention, with perceived value fit and promotion focus playing a mediating role. Environmental behavior also moderates the relationship between green hotel practices and perceived value fit, as well as between perceived value fit and visit intention.

Summary: This study examines the driving psychological factors behind hotel guests' energy-saving intentions and behaviors using structural equation modeling, finding that self-determined motivation has a significant impact on hotel energy conservation behaviors, and past behavior replaces attitude as the most critical predictor of hotel energy-saving intentions.

Summary: This study aims to explore the factors influencing Z-generation tourists' intention to visit green hotels in Taiwan. The findings revealed that Z-generation tourists' attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control have a positive and significant impact on their intention to visit green hotels, with attitude being the most significant factor. The study also found that Z-generation tourists' attitude toward green hotels mediates the relationships between personal moral norms, subjective norms, environmental concern, and visit intention.

Summary: The implementation of temporary pop-up bike lanes in Berlin led to an increased number of cyclists according to traffic counts by the city administration. This paper explores the role of mobility-related descriptive social norms as mediators of this effect through correlational and experimental online studies. Results suggest that these norms reflect differences in cities' transport structure and impact mobility behavior. Additionally, participants use visual cues provided by manipulated photos to form their perceived mobility-related descriptive social norms, with infrastructural cues and observable mobility behavior having the strongest impact.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to examine the motivations of food and beverage hotel managers in Indonesia towards implementing food wastage initiatives. The findings revealed constraints preventing them from carrying out their plans and a discrepancy between their perceived norms and the actual behavior of important reference groups. These findings have important practical implications for the hotel industry.

Summary: Limiting climate change requires the concerted efforts of all human beings. Numerous studies have identified a positive association between global human identification and proenvironmental behavior, but the effect sizes of this association vary widely. In order to understand the situational factors that may strengthen this association, this research examined the moderating role of perceived descriptive norms. The results consistently showed that participants with high global human identification demonstrated more proenvironmental behavior only when they perceived that others were also behaving in an eco-friendly way.

Summary: Combining low descriptive norms with high injunctive norms, emphasizing the discrepancy between what people should do and what they actually do, leads to greater organ donor registrations. The findings suggest that communicating separate norms is less effective in encouraging registrations compared to combining norms.

Summary: This study successfully examines how hotel guests' intention to engage in environment-friendly behaviors is formed by their self-perception as a member of the global community and their psychological distance to climate change. The findings provide a satisfactory explanation of the factors influencing guests' intention during their hotel stay.

Summary: People's pro-environmental behaviors are influenced by both intrinsic motivation and external factors. The attribution of others' behavior as either intrinsically or extrinsically motivated affects the influence of descriptive norms on pro-environmental behavior. This study found that pro-environmental descriptive norms are more influential when attributing others' behavior as intrinsically motivated.

Summary: The impact of humanity's behavior on the ecological environment is a hot topic that has been widely studied. The consumption of plastic bottled water has steadily increased, even in countries where the quality of tap water is considered excellent. This paper investigates how policy-makers implement interventions aimed at increasing the consumption of tap water instead of bottled water by using a descriptive social norm in a restaurant. The results show that the descriptive social norm significantly reduced plastic bottled water consumption by decreasing sales from 96% to 84%.
