The present research investigates how the cultural value of collectivism interacts with socioeconomic status (SES) to influence the basis of action. Using a U.S. national sample (N = 2,538), the research examines how these sociocultural factors jointly moderate the strength of two precursors of environmental support: beliefs about climate change and perceived descriptive norms. SES and collectivism interacted with climate change beliefs such that beliefs predicted environmental support (i.e., proenvironmental behaviors and policy support) more strongly for those who were high in SES and low in collectivism than for all other groups. This interaction was explained, in part, by sense of control. For descriptive norms, SES and collectivism did not interact but rather norms predicted action most strongly for those high in collectivism and high in SES. These findings demonstrate the theoretical and applied importance of examining multiple sociocultural characteristics together to understand the factors that drive action.

本研究调查了集体主义的文化价值如何与社会经济地位 (SES) 相互作用以影响行动的基础。使用美国国家样本（N= 2,538），该研究考察了这些社会文化因素如何共同调节环境支持的两种前体的强度：对气候变化的信念和感知的描述性规范。SES 和集体主义与气候变化信念相互作用，因此信念对 SES 高而集体主义低的人的环境支持（即亲环境行为和政策支持）的预测比所有其他群体更强烈。这种相互作用在一定程度上可以通过控制感来解释。对于描述性规范，SES 和集体主义没有相互作用，但规范最强烈地预测了那些高度集体主义和高度 SES 的人的行动。这些发现证明了同时检查多种社会文化特征以了解推动行动的因素的理论和应用重要性。
