The present study investigates adolescents' self-reported recycling behavior, adopting a much-needed person-oriented approach. We found that adolescents that have different personality types approach recycling differently. Those who have more expressed adaptive and positive personality traits show more favorable attitudes toward recycling and engage in recycling more than those who have less adaptive traits. Investigating models based on the theory of planned behavior, we found slight differences in linear relationships between the model's variables among clusters. The results indicate that interventions should be targeted at the people that need them the most rather than the general population. Suggestions for future research and some practical points are presented. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
