Research on farmers'pro-environmental behaviors from the dual perspectives of environmental literacy and environmental regulations
Based on the data of 967 household samples from Shaanxi,Shanxi,Shandong,Hebei and Hubei provinces,by adopting linear regression model,the main and interactive effects of environmental literacy and environmental regulations on farmers'pro-environmental behaviors are tested firstly,and the propensity score matching method is used to compare and analyze the changes of farmers'pro-environmental behaviors before and after the improvement of environmental literacy and the implementation of environmental regulations.Secondly,the adjustment effects of them on farmers'pro-environmental behaviors are tested by Fisher combination test method.Finally,the robustness and endogeneity of the direct effect regression results are tested.The results show that:1)All dimensions of environmental literacy and environmental regulations can promote the implementation of farmers'pro-environmental behaviors,and this conclusion has passed the robustness test and the endogeneity test.The matching estimation results of propensity score also show that the implementation degree of farmers'pro-environmental behaviors increase significantly before and after the improvement of environmental literacy and the implementation of environmental regulations.2)The interaction terms of environmental responsibility and environmental knowledge and skills have a significant positive impact on farmers'pro-environmental behaviors,and the interaction terms of restrictive environmental regulations and guiding environmental regulations have a significant positive impact on farmers'pro-environmental behaviors.3)Environmental regulations play a significant moderating role in the relationships of"environmental cognition-farmers'pro-environmental behaviors","environmental responsibility-farmers'pro-environmental behaviors"and"environmental knowledge and skill-farmers'pro-environmental behaviors".Environmental literacy significantly moderates the relationships between"guiding environmental regulations-farmers'pro-environmental behaviors",and"incentivizing environmental regulations-farmers'pro-environmental behaviors".Based on this,relevant measures should be taken to further optimize environmental regulations policies,improve farmers'environmental cognition,cultivate their environmental responsibility,and improve their environmental knowledge and skill reserve,to promote farmers'implementation of pro-environmental behaviors finally.
