Abstract
AbstractBased on Niemeyer and Morris’s (1986) model of energy adjustment, possible differences between female-headed and jointly-headed households’ energy-problem beliefs and home energy-conservation behaviors are determined. Female-headed households report less belief in the seriousness of the energy problem in the United States when controlled for age, education, and income than do jointly-headed renter households. Female-headed households also report fewer home energy-conservation behaviors when controlled for age, number of children, and type of household than do jointly-headed households. Further research into the differences between female-headed and jointly-headed households would aid educators and policy makers in targeting the differing needs of these two types of renter households.
