CORRAL VERDUGO, Víctor et al. Variables Affecting the Relationship Between Sustainable Behaviors and their Positive Psychological Consequences: Personality Traits and Behavioral Costs. Psicumex [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.1, pp.1-20. Epub 09-Dez-2020. ISSN 2007-5936. https://doi.org/10.36793/psicumex.v10i1.336.
Sustainable Behavior (SB) can have both positive (wellbeing, satisfaction, happiness) and negative (costs, sacrifice) psychological impacts on people practicing such behavior; however, the cause of this discrepancy is unknown. This study was aimed at investigating the possible influence of variables such as personality traits and behavioral costs on the relationship between SB and their positive psychological consequences. One hundred college students participated. Instruments assessing SB, scales measuring levels of happiness, psychological wellbeing, and satisfaction, as well as an inventory of the big-five personality factors and a scale assessing behavioral costs were administered. Results indicated higher levels of psychological benefits than behavioral costs associated with SB. By using structural equations, the study also revealed that personality traits do not affect the SB-positive consequences relationship, while behavioral costs do have a negative impact on it, in a hybrid function, serving both as mediators and as moderators of the relationship.
