Public and nonprofit organizations are at the forefront of water scarcity issues using nonformal educational programs to drive behavior change towards water conservation. The efficacy of educational endeavors hinge on designing and delivering programs with considerations of the factors that will change relevant decisions and behaviors among residential landscape water users. The purpose of this study was to explore the concept of wellness and well-being, and its relationship to engagement in water conservation behaviors. To guide this evaluation, we integrated the theory of planned behavior with relevant tenets of cognitive and social psychology and included the psycho-social constructs of stress, perceived happiness and well-being. We conducted correlational and regression analyses to assess potential relationships. Overall, the results of the study show that each of the three different psycho-social measures behave differently with regards to current and future residential landscape water conservation behaviors. The models show that perceptions of well-being is the more consistent predictor for both current and future behaviors. Perceived happiness only served as a significant predictor for current behaviors. Stress simply demonstrated correlational relationships with current and future behaviors, not serving as a significant predictor. We suggest exploring the possibility of pairing and embedding educational programs focused on personal and family well-being with educational programs focused on environmental behavior. When we consider water conservation behavior as a function of more than knowledge and motivation, we can broaden our understanding of this behavior as a socially embedded experience.

深入研究：探索心理社会健康对节水行为的影响。

公共和非营利组织在水资源短缺问题上处于最前沿，它们使用非正规的教育计划来推动行为改变以实现节水。教育努力的有效性取决于设计和提供程序，并考虑到将改变住宅景观用水户相关决策和行为的因素。这项研究的目的是探索健康和福祉的概念，及其与参与节水行为的关系。为了指导这一评估，我们将计划行为理论与认知和社会心理学的相关原则进行了整合，并纳入了压力，感知的幸福感和幸福感的社会心理构造。我们进行了相关和回归分析以评估潜在的关系。总体，研究结果表明，三种不同的社会心理措施在当前和未来的住宅景观节水行为方面表现不同。模型显示，对于当前和未来行为，幸福感是更一致的预测指标。感知到的幸福仅是当前行为的重要预测指标。压力只是证明了与当前和未来行为的相关关系，而不是重要的预测指标。我们建议探索将关注个人和家庭福祉的教育计划与关注环境行为的教育计划配对和嵌入的可能性。当我们将节水行为视为不仅仅是知识和动力的函数时，
