However, the cognitive mechanisms of the public's sustainable behavioral intention toward bamboo as a substitute for plastic are still not well known.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Drawing on the Hierarchy of Effects (HOE) model, this study proposes an integrative cognition\u2013affect\u2013intention framework in which bamboo anthropomorphism is associated with sustainable behavioral intention through place attachment and environmental guilt. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and multi-group analysis (MGA) were conducted using 926 valid responses collected from 31 provincial-level administrative regions in China. Regional differences and social norms are added as grouping variables to assess cross-group stability and heterogeneity of the structural relationships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Bamboo anthropomorphism was not significantly directly associated with sustainable behavioral intention. Significant indirect associations were observed through place attachment, environmental guilt, and their sequential mediation, with the indirect effect through environmental guilt being the largest. Multi-group analyses indicated overall structural stability, with exploratory path-specific differences across regional and social-norm groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study refines the application of the HOE model by distinguishing place-based relational affect from self-conscious moral emotion within the cognition\u2013affect\u2013intention process. The findings suggest that bamboo anthropomorphism is associated with sustainable behavioral intention primarily through indirect affective and moral pathways. Exploratory group comparisons further suggest pathway-specific contextual heterogeneity, providing preliminary implications for differentiated environmental communication promoting bamboo-based plastic substitution and supporting the SDGs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1948458","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]],"date-time":"2026-09-29T05:47:38Z","timestamp":1790660858000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bamboo anthropomorphism and sustainable behavioral intention: evidence from bamboo as a substitute for plastic in China"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Yaosheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Art Design Department, Shangyu College, Shaoxing University","place":["Shaoxing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yiping","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Art Design Department, Shangyu College, Shaoxing University","place":["Shaoxing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"12162","DOI":"10.1007\/s10668-021-01938-4","article-title":"Socio-economic importance of the bamboo resources in the Lower Beles River Basin, north-western Ethiopia","volume":"24","author":"Abebe","year":"2022","journal-title":"Environ.
