Abstract

This paper reviewed behavioral studies that have been designed to increase recycling behavior. The essential features of the studies were analyzed in terms of subjects, experimental settings, independent and pendent variables, measurement, observational procedures, experimental designs, and follow-up and maintenance. On the basis of the analysis, it was revealed that behavioral studies to increase recyling behavior have been very successful and have a great potentiality for the future. Despite of this success, however, behavioral studies do have some theoretical and practical limitations in the present. Therefore, more research is necessary to resolve these limitations in order to make safety management more effective.
