This study also investigated whether tourists’ ecocentric and anthropocentric attitudes play mediating roles. The researchers distributed 800 questionnaires to international tourists in Malaysia; of those, 393 usable responses were included for further analysis. We applied partial least squares-structural equation modelling to test the theory and path analysis. The findings reveal that personal norms, ascribed responsibility, and eco-friendly reputations have significant relationships with ecocentric attitudes. Additionally, ascribed responsibility has a positive relationship with anthropocentric attitudes. The results also indicate the mediating role of ecocentric attitudes in the relationships of personal norms, ascribed responsibility, and eco-friendly reputation with intention. The findings reaffirm norm activation theory and the theory of planned behaviour. |
