Divergent effects of environmental concern and risk perception on pro-environmental intention: an international study across 17 countries.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Studies have demonstrated that pro-environmental behaviors vary across countries and are influenced by cultural values, environmental concerns (EC), and risk perception. Therefore, measures tailored to each country's culture must be implemented to effectively promote pro-environmental behaviors. This study analyzed the heterogeneity in the strength of the relationships among the constructs in each country. Using structural equation modeling to validate three hypotheses about constructs with respect to pro-environmental behaviors, this study investigated how EC and risk perception influenced pro-environmental intentions across 17 countries. It used the Environment IV dataset provided by the International Social Survey Program (ISSP, 2020). The results revealed that the influence of EC and risk perception on pro-environmental orientation differed from country to country, confirming the three hypotheses. This study offered a novel contribution to the literature as it uncovered the different mechanisms by which environmental knowledge influenced pro-environmental behavior compared with EC and risk perceptions. In addition, it quantitatively assessed how this effect differed across the 17 countries.
