To improve the willingness of rural residents to classify waste, based on the background of a rural acquaintance society, this thesis constructed a theoretical model of waste classification cognition, willingness to classify, economic incentives, face consciousness and vernacular identity affecting the willingness of rural residents to classify waste, and put forward seven research hypotheses. With the help of 530 valid surveys of rural residents in Jiangsu Province, the seven hypotheses were verified using structural equation modeling, and the mediating effect of rural residents\u2019 willingness to classify waste was examined using the bootstrap method. The results showed that waste classification awareness, knowledge of waste classification, economic incentives, face-saving concepts and local identity all affected rural residents\u2019 willingness to classify waste, and all were significant at a 0.01 level. They also showed that face-saving concepts and local identity played partial mediating roles. Strategies to improve rural residents\u2019 willingness to classify waste have been proposed, such as multiple incentives to enhance subjective awareness, play the role of face culture in rural areas, strengthen the construction of public culture in rural areas, and improve rural residents\u2019 local identity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0303167","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,9]],"date-time":"2024-05-09T17:33:23Z","timestamp":1715276003000},"page":"e0303167","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Study on the influencing factors of rural residents\u2019 willingness to classify domestic waste in the context of acquaintance society: An example from Jiangsu Province in Chin"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1152-141X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xiaoxu","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nannan","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0303167.ref001","volume-title":"The logic of collective action [M].","author":"Mancur Olson","year":"1971"},{"key":"pone.0303167.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"94","DOI":"10.1016\/j.resconrec.2015.06.014","article-title":"Household recycling knowledge, attitudes and practices towards solid waste management [J].","volume":"102","author":"Babaei Ali Akbar","year":"2015","journal-title":"Resources Conservation & Recycling"},{"issue":"11","key":"pone.0303167.ref003","first-page":"1","article-title":"Research on residents\u2019 waste classification behavior in rural habitat improvement - based on survey data in Sichuan Province [J]","volume":"42","author":"H.S.
