Abstract

ABSTRACT The consumer attitudes towards how they participate in the disposal of solid waste products is a crucial concern in Ghana. The attribution theory in social psychology emerged in the literature as a paradigm that seeks to explain the consumer attitudes towards solid waste products disposables that are negative and individualistic. This study estimates the motivational factors to consumer attitudes and unlawful disposal of solid waste products in Bono Region of Ghana. The results indicated the direct path dimensions of the analysed hostile aggression was CoE (−0.103), SE (0.040), CR (−2.547), p (0.011), learned helplessness was CoE (0.112), SE (0.052), CR (−2.133), p (0.033), and beliefs was CoE (0.049), SE (0.049), CR (0.988), p (0.323). Beliefs were not significant. However, hostile aggression and learned helplessness were significantly related to the unlawful disposal of solid waste products. The mediation for advertising message type was EST (0.622), SE (0.038), p (0.000) significant indirect effect towards the unlawful disposal of solid waste products and moderation interaction for existential consumer EST (0.002), SE (0.000), CR (70.939), p (0.000) was significant towards the unlawful disposal of solid waste products. The results suggest that many consumers who throw away solid waste products participate in unlawful disposal practices.

消费者态度:非法处置固体废物的驱动因素
摘要 消费者对如何参与固体废物处理的态度是加纳的一个重要问题。社会心理学中的归因理论作为一种范式出现在文献中,旨在解释消费者对固体废物一次性处理的消极和个人主义态度。本研究估算了加纳博诺地区消费者态度和非法处置固体废物的动机因素。结果表明,所分析的敌意攻击的直接路径维度为 CoE (-0.103),SE (0.040),CR (-2.547),p (0.011);习得性无助的直接路径维度为 CoE (0.112),SE (0.052),CR (-2.133),p (0.033);信念的直接路径维度为 CoE (0.049),SE (0.049),CR (0.988),p (0.323)。信念不显著。然而,敌意攻击和习得性无助与非法处置固体废物有显著相关。广告信息类型的中介作用EST (0.622),SE (0.038),p (0.000)对非法处置固体废品有显著的间接影响,存在消费者的调节交互作用EST (0.002),SE (0.000),CR (70.939),p (0.000)对非法处置固体废品有显著影响。结果表明,许多丢弃固体废品的消费者参与了非法处置行为。
