Do risk preferences play a role when deciding whether to act pro-environmentally? Looking at 28 different behaviors case by case - including recycling, waste reduction, energy and water conservation, consumer behavior, and environmental policy support - our data suggest no relation between most of the behaviors and economic risk preferences. However, economic risk preferences appear to have some relevance for travel mode choice and for specific consumer preferences (eco-friendly detergents, organic food, and single-use plastics), perhaps because people are better able to appreciate aspects of these behaviors related to risk (e.g., possibility of traffic accidents, health risks).
在决定是否采取有利于环境的行动时，风险偏好会起作用吗？逐一考察28种不同行为——包括回收利用、减少浪费、节约能源和水资源、消费者行为以及对环境政策的支持——我们的数据表明，大多数行为与经济风险偏好之间没有关联。然而，经济风险偏好似乎与出行方式选择以及特定的消费者偏好（环保洗涤剂、有机食品和一次性塑料制品）存在一定关联，这可能是因为人们能够更好地认识到这些行为中与风险相关的方面（例如交通事故的可能性、健康风险）。
