Abstract

We tested the potential interaction between Warm Glow and Environmental Values. Results from college student participants indicated an interaction such that Warm Glow predicts pro-environmental behavior only for participants low in egoistic motivation. These results indicate an important limitation to the relation between Warm Glow and pro-environmental behaviors.
