Spanish term

comportamientos escalonados

Spanish to English Science Environment & Ecology recycling behaviour
Este estudio investiga el rol de la Efectividad Percibida del Consumidor (EPC) en el comportamiento de reciclaje. A través de dos modelos, uno general y otro específicamente comportamental, plantea que la percepción de efectividad de las acciones individuales explica las actitudes, el conocimiento y la acción de reciclar en conjunto, pero también, que existe una relación de mediación entre la EPC y el comportamiento de reciclaje a través de otros comportamientos pro-ambientales. Los resultados permiten plantear un nuevo camino en el estudio del comportamiento de reciclaje a través de los comportamientos escalonados
Proposed translations (English)
4 stepped behaviors
4 behaviour/behavior journeys through stages OR behaviour/behavior through stages

4 tiered behaviors

Discussion

pistacho (asker) Feb 14, 2018:
A partir de allí, plantea la posibilidad de comportamientos escalonados. Desde esta perspectiva, el individuo podría hacer una adopción de comportamientos pro-ambientales por etapas o niveles, en donde primero, adopta comportamientos menos complejos y, luego, este tipo de comportamientos lo llevan a adoptar otros que demandan mayor esfuerzo, como es el caso del comportamiento de reciclaje.
Muriel Vasconcellos Feb 14, 2018:
Subsequent context? It would help to know if there is discussion of the term going forward int he text. Lots of good options for "escalonado" at: https://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/search?source=auto&que...

stepped behavior = a behavior that does not change continuously because it moves from one stage to another. This is what a step (escalonada) function expresses
Peer comment(s):
neutral liz askew : but is this relevant in the context of recycling behavior/behaviour and do you have references for this?

behaviour/behavior journeys through stages OR behaviour/behavior through stages

10 Nov 2010 - A learned behaviour journeys through four stages: level one: unconsciously incompetent; level two: consciously incompetent; level three: consciously competent; and finally level four: unconsciously competent. As previously mentioned, much of the challenge facing recycling participation now isn't simply ...

scaled behaviours

Literally. Sounds terrible, but that's what it is. A scale of "behaviours". Normally used in things like time and motion studies (or whatever they're called nowadays)

And, for example, measured by: "A recycling behaviour scale comprising four items regarding levels and types of recycling activities, scored on a five-point itemized category format"...

NB: Yesterday, an asker complained that the references I posted were "from another field" not specifically related with the query. I'd just like to add that my approach to kudoz queries can be rather scattergun, and often I'm simply posting links containing examples of usage, which may not often be in the exact thematic area pertaining to the query.

"Schlegelmilch, B. B., Bohlen, G. M. & Diamantopoulos, A. (1996) studied the variables specific to environmental consciousness by using a knowledge scale, an attitudes scale, recycling behaviour scale and a political action scale."
