Research on the Mechanism of Social Capital Impact on Environmental Behavior
Using CGSS(2021)data,social capital variables were constructed from three dimensions:social network,social trust,and social norms,and their impact mechanisms on private and public environmental behavior were analyzed.The paper findings indicate that social capital has a direct impact on environmental behavior,as well as mediating and moderating variables.Specifically,social networks and norms have a direct impact on pri-vate environmental behavior,while social trust and norms have a direct impact on public environmental behavior.Behavioral attitude and environmental attitudes play a mediating role in the relative process.The variable of efficacy has a negative moderating effect on the relationship between social norms,social trust and environmental attitudes.
