摘要
This review paper discusses determinants of pro-environmental behavior on Resources Conservation and Recycling from 1987 to 2017. The main factors which influence pro-environmental behavior include both external and internal factors-specifically, demographic variables and psychological factors. The main purpose of this work is to review the literature (i.e., published studies) regarding the impact, relations, and mutual effects on pro-environmental behavior of each group of factors. Identifying the determinants of pro-environmental behavior is helpful when formulating the most appropriate and effective policies for improving the public's behavior toward protecting the natural environment.
