Energy Conservation: Family Values, Household Practices and Contextual Variables.

Hogan, M. Janice; Paolucci, Beatrice

Home Economics Research Journal, v7 n4 p210-18 Mar 1979

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. (JH)
