Summary:
Key points: The likelihood of taking environmentally-friendly action varied by the task, even among people with the most green lifestyles, with actions involving less sacrifice more common. Self-perception of a green lifestyle was linked to higher life satisfaction, irrespective
of concrete action. Bad conscience about not being green enough decreased life satisfaction, but the impact could be mitigated by having a self-perceived green lifestyle. Value-action gap for green behaviour depends on costs of green behaviour but also green preferences.
