Abstract

We explored how overall and specific difficulties in emotion regulation relates to the type of motivation for pro-environmental behaviors and pro-environmental attitudes. Results show distinct dimensions have different associations with the outcomes studied. These findings suggest that specific emotion regulation strategies could be targeted to promote pro-environmental engagement.
