| dc.description.abstract | Este estudio examina la repercusión positiva en el comportamiento relacionado con los residuos, que varía en complejidad. Específicamente, evaluamos si fomentar un comportamiento relativamente simple (usar bolsas de compra reutilizables) puede conducir a una mayor adopción de un comportamiento más complejo, como el reciclaje. Para investigar esto, realizamos un experimento de campo longitudinal. Además, exploramos el papel moderador de tres constructos a nivel individual: Dificultad Percibida, Autoeficacia y Eficacia Percibida del Consumidor. Nuestros hallazgos muestran que la repercusión positiva ocurre para el reciclaje en el hogar, pero no para el reciclaje en otros lugares. Además, la Dificultad Percibida fortalece este efecto, mientras que la Eficacia Percibida del Consumidor lo disminuye. Concluimos discutiendo cómo estos hallazgos pueden informar las intervenciones públicas y privadas dirigidas a promover el reciclaje | spa |
| dc.description.abstractenglish | This study examines positive behavioral spillover between waste-related behaviors that vary in complexity. Specifically, we test whether encouraging a relatively simple behavior—using reusable shopping bags—can lead to increased adoption of a more complex behavior, such as recycling. To investigate this, we conducted a longitudinal field experiment. Additionally, we explored the moderating roles of three individual-level constructs: Perceived Difficulty, Self-efficacy, and Perceived Consumer Effectiveness. Our findings show that positive spillover occurs for recycling at home, but not for recycling elsewhere. Moreover, Perceived Difficulty strengthens this effect, while Perceived Consumer Effectiveness diminishes it. We conclude by discussing how these insights can inform public and private interventions aimed at promoting recycling. | eng |
