This study experimentally evaluates the effects of group identity primed by property rights on pro-environmental behaviors (PEB) and social norms in an urban Chinese environment. The research in this paper expands the research perspective and method of domestic waste management and provides a theoretical basis for the establishment of a long-term mechanism of environmental treatment. We used two simple binary choice tasks that test the PEB and environmental types of individuals. This is one of the earliest tests for group identity and social norms in pro-environmental examinations in Chinese people. Our results reveal that (i) publicity and education have a significant positive effect on the development of individual and group pro-environmental behavioral norms; (ii) housing ownership has no differentiating effect on individual environmental behavior; and (iii) the development of social norms of pro-environmental behavior varies according to group conditions, which, in turn, determines individual environmental behavioral choices and types of environmental behavior. The results also suggest that PEB may be shaped and norms may be built by group conditions rather than group identity.
本研究通过实验评估了在中国城市环境中，产权引发的群体认同对亲环境行为（PEB）和社会规范的影响。本文的研究拓展了国内垃圾管理的研究视角和方法，为建立环境治理长效机制提供了理论依据。我们使用了两个简单的二元选择任务来测试个体的亲环境行为和环境类型。这是对中国人亲环境考试中群体认同和社会规范的最早测试之一。我们的研究结果表明：（i）宣传教育对个体和群体亲环境行为规范的发展具有显著的正向影响；（ii）房屋所有权对个体环境行为没有差异化影响；（iii）亲环境行为社会规范的发展因群体条件而异，进而决定个体的环境行为选择和环境行为类型。研究结果还表明，亲环境行为可能由群体条件而非群体认同塑造，规范也可能由此建立。
