Tolerance may lessen when wildlife adversely impacts people. Models from psychology can help elucidate how people make judgments, why they act accordingly, and whether beliefs and norms influence support for policy and intervention. Working in a globally important region for tigers, we estimated hunting prevalence for this endangered species and three sympatric taxa using methods for asking sensitive questions. We also investigated the relative strength of ethnicity and social‐psychological predictors in influencing intention to hunt. Men's behavioral intention and perceptions differed by species: proconservation values were most prevalent for tiger, weakest for wild boar. Perceived behavioral control was the strongest predictor of hunting‐intention; affect and injunctive norms were also important. The prominence of affect in determining intention suggests increasing environmental knowledge is unlikely to curb hunting. However, existing norms could be leveraged to incentivize behaviorchange. Integrating behavior‐change models into conservation science is crucial where strategies require changes in people's actions.

杀人意图：对苏门答腊虎和同胞物种的宽容和非法迫害

当野生生物对人类造成不利影响时，宽容度可能会降低。心理学模型可以帮助阐明人们如何做出判断，为什么要采取相应行动以及信念和规范是否影响对政策和干预的支持。我们在全球重要的老虎地区工作，我们通过询问敏感问题的方法，估计了该濒危物种和三种同伴类群的狩猎流行率。我们还调查了种族和社会心理预测因素在影响狩猎意图方面的相对优势。男性的行为意图和知觉因物种而异：老虎的保护价值最高，野猪的保护价值最低。知觉的行为控制是狩猎意图的最强预测因子。情感和禁令规范也很重要。影响力在确定意图方面的突出表明，增加对环境的了解不太可能抑制狩猎。但是，可以利用现有规范来激励行为改变。当策略需要改变人们的行动时，将行为改变模型整合到保护科学中就变得至关重要。
