Abstract:
Environmental problems in general and waste problem, in particular, are among the crucial issues in modern societies. Solving this problem needs inhabitants participation in environmental activities. In addition, there are many psychosocial factors that affect inhabitants behavior. One of these factors is environmental norms. Accordingly, the goal of current article is to study environmental norms, household waste recycling, and the relationship between these two variables in district seven of Tehran Municipality. For this purpose we used theories of environmental norms and distributed 400 questionnaires among the residents of district seven in Tehran. The gathered data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results revealed inhabitants of this part of Tehran support environmental norms at high level. They also showed a relatively high tendency toward waste recycling. In addition, a moderate positive relationship was found between these two variables. There was also a mutual relationship between these two variables which means one variable increases as the other increases.
