摘要

Research focused on engagement in environmentally responsible behaviors (ERBs) is expanding, but often lacks representation from people of color in the United States (US). Despite the growing proportion of people of color among the US population, little is known about their motivations and barriers for ERB engagement. Through purposive sampling of women of color, this study aimed: (1) to identify their motivations for and barriers to ERBs; and (2) to assess the relationships that participants perceived between aspects of their identity and ERB engagement. Participants had a wide-ranging view of what constituted the environment, including social concerns like racism, and a broad definition of ERBs. They expressed diverse motivations for ERBs, including waste reduction, resource conservation, health, enjoyment and happiness, and thinking of future generations. Barriers to ERBs included cost and access, which may present equity concerns for communities that are motivated to engage in ERBs but lack needed resources.
