Abstract
"A good part of the work called ‘theorizing’ is taken up with the clarification of concepts—and rightly so. It is in this manner of clearly defined concepts that social science is not infrequently defective.” Merton (1948) advised us of the importance of learning this lesson a long time ago. This chapter pursues this goal by clarifying, integrating, and organizing the major drivers of pro-environmental behavior.
