Energy Conservation: Family Values, Household Practices and Contextual Variables
Hogan, M., & Paolucci, B. (1979). Energy Conservation: Family Values, Household Practices and Contextual Variables. Home Economics Research Journal, 7(4), 210-18.
A study was conducted to determine if differences existed in adoption rate of household energy conservation practices in families with varying husband-wife commitment to values and to determine if adoption of energy practices varied with contextual variables. The value of eco-consciousness was found to be a predictor of energy conservation behavior.
