Abstract
Abstract Guided by Crano’s vested interest theory (VIT), this study examined how vested interest moderated the relationship between individuals’ attitudes and intentions in the context of energy and water conservation. Participants (N = 432) completed a survey on energy emissions (N = 215) or water scarcity (N = 217). Across topics, salience had a main effect on intentions to conserve, and self-efficacy had a main effect on water conservation. Interaction effects in the context of water conservation revealed that immediacy and self-efficacy moderated the effects of attitude toward water conservation on intentions to conserve.
期刊介绍：
Applied Artificial Intelligence addresses concerns in applied research and applications of artificial intelligence (AI). The journal also acts as a medium for exchanging ideas and thoughts about impacts of AI research. Articles highlight advances in uses of AI systems for solving tasks in management, industry, engineering, administration, and education; evaluations of existing AI systems and tools, emphasizing comparative studies and user experiences; and the economic, social, and cultural impacts of AI. Papers on key applications, highlighting methods, time schedules, person-months needed, and other relevant material are welcome.
