Residents' behavior is the result of the combined effect of external environment factors and internal psychological factors. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the attitude-behavior-condition (ABC) theory, this study aims to explore the impact of policy support on residents' psychological factors and proenvironmental behavior. This study developed an extended TPB and ABC model and replaced the behavioral intention in the TPB model with implementation intentions to enhance the ability of the variables to explain and predict proenvironmental behavior. The longitudinal research method was adopted to collect data through a two-stage questionnaire survey of 1145 Shanghai residents. Results demonstrated that perceived policy effectiveness has a significant and positive impact on attitude, implementation intention, and proenvironmental behavior. This means that proenvironmental behavior tends to appear in people with a high perception of policy effectiveness, positive attitude, and strong implementation intention. Moreover, this study points out for the first time that high waste management knowledge weakens the relationship between perceived policy effectiveness and attitude. For residents with high waste management knowledge, the effect of simple policy publicity is limited. The findings suggest that the government should increase the breadth and depth of policy support and policy publicity to cover the entire waste management process.
居民行为是外部环境因素和内部心理因素综合作用的结果。基于计划行为理论（TPB）和态度-行为-条件（ABC）理论，本研究旨在探讨政策支持对居民心理因素和环保行为的影响。本研究扩展了 TPB 和 ABC 模型，将 TPB 模型中的行为意图替换为实施意图，以增强变量解释和预测环保行为的能力。采用纵向研究方法，通过对 1145 名上海居民的两阶段问卷调查收集数据。结果表明，感知政策有效性对态度、实施意图和环保行为有显著的正向影响。这意味着，具有较高政策有效性感知、积极态度和较强实施意图的人更倾向于采取环保行为。此外，本研究首次指出，较高的废物管理知识会削弱感知政策有效性与态度之间的关系。对于具有较高废物管理知识的居民来说，简单的政策宣传效果有限。研究结果表明，政府应增加政策支持和政策宣传的广度和深度，涵盖整个废物管理过程。
