Muhtasari	The attitude-behavior-context (ABC) framework explains environmentally significant behavior as the joint product of internal attitudes and external contextual conditions, and crucially as their interaction rather than their sum. Gregory Guagnano, Paul Stern, and Thomas Dietz proposed it in 1995 using a natural experiment on curbside recycling, and Stern incorporated it into his 2000 theory of environmentally significant behavior. The core claim is that attitudes most strongly drive behavior when external conditions are neutral — neither strongly enabling nor strongly blocking the action — and that when context is overwhelmingly favorable or prohibitive, behavior is determined by the context regardless of attitude. Providing recycling bins, for example, raises recycling so much that pro-environmental attitudes add little, while in the absence of any collection even strong attitudes cannot produce the behavior. The framework reconciles the often weak and inconsistent attitude-behavior correlations in environmental research by treating context as a moderator. It is typically estimated as an interaction regression and complements value-belief-norm theory.	Social practice theory analysis explains consumption and everyday behavior, including energy and resource use, by making the practice rather than the individual the unit of analysis. Andreas Reckwitz's 2002 synthesis defined a practice as a routinized type of behaving that links bodily and mental activities, things, knowledge, and meaning, drawing together strands from Bourdieu, Giddens, and others into a coherent culturalist alternative to choice-based theories. Elizabeth Shove, Mika Pantzar, and Matt Watson's The Dynamics of Social Practice operationalized this for empirical research, proposing that practices are constituted by three elements, materials, competences, and meanings, that must be actively linked in performance. The analytical move is decisive for sustainability: instead of asking how to change attitudes or nudge choices, the approach asks how resource-intensive practices like showering, driving, or heating come to be normal and how they might be reconfigured. It treats people as carriers of practices rather than as sovereign decision-makers. The result reframes environmental problems as problems of how practices are organized and reproduced.
