The model of norm-regulated responsibility for proenvironmental behavior in the context of littering prevention by Ai, Pengya, Rosenthal, Sonny

“…It also showed that strong injunctive norms can reduce the inhibitory effect of descriptive norms on ascription of responsibility. These findings were consistent with several hypotheses constituting the model of norm-regulated responsibility, a novel explanatory framework offering new insights and a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of social norms' influence on proenvironmental behavior.…”
