摘要

大学生是高能源消耗但低节能行为的群体之一。这种行为严重影响了能源的可持续性和温室气体的排放。对于发展中国家来说,低节电率增加了公用事业公司和整个政府的负担。为促进节电所做的努力导致了越来越多的研究。然而,这些研究并没有过多地考虑情感和宗教在节能中的作用。来自加纳的证据也很有限。本研究探讨了加纳大学生的节电意向因素。以计划行为理论为视角,评估了与使用笔记本电脑、冰箱、电灯和电风扇相关的节电意向。情感和宗教信仰也被纳入模型,以评估其影响。数据是通过向 204 名大学生发放调查问卷收集的。有序概率回归的结果表明,主观规范、感知行为控制、态度、情绪和宗教信仰会影响学生节约用电的意愿。然而,研究发现它们的影响与具体电器有关。结果表明,在宗教中心或宗教团体中持续开展节约用电必要性的教育,可以在一定程度上保证学生节约用电,甚至在更大范围的人群中也是如此。在社会中占有相当重要地位的个人应成为节约用电的带头人,以促进学生和公众的节约用电行为。

Electricity conservation intention among university students in northern Ghana: An assessment of the drivers for some electrical appliances

University students are among those associated with high energy consumption but with low conservational practices. Such behavior has serious implications on energy sustainability and emission of greenhouse gases. For developing countries, low electricity conservation increases the burden on utility companies and the government as a whole. Efforts to promote electricity conservation have led to an increased number of studies. However, such research have not given much consideration to the role of emotions as well as religion in energy conservation. Evidence from Ghana is also limited. This study examines the factors of electricity conservation intention among University students in Ghana. With the lens of the theory of planned behavior, electricity conservation intention associated with the usage of laptops, refrigerators, light and electric fans was assessed. Emotions and religion were included in the model to assess their effect. Data was collected through the administration of questionnaires to 204 university students. The findings from ordered probit regression indicate that subjective norms, perceived behaviourial control, attitude, emotions and religion influence the extent that students intend to conserve electricity. However, their effects were somehow found to be appliance-specific. The results suggest that continuous teaching of the need for electricity conservation at religious centers or among religious groups could generate some guaranteed levels of electricity conservation among students and may be, even among the larger population. Individuals that assume considerable importance in society should act as conservation leaders to promote such behavior among students and the general public.
