Answer to Question 1

Answer: Even people who hold positive attitudes toward the environment in general or toward recycling in particular may find it hard to overcome old habits when new recycling efforts are instituted. One way to encourage people to recycle would be to simplify the act of recycling. For example, in a study of a new recycling campaign in Fairfax County, Virginia, researchers found that compared to residents who had to find and use their own recycling containers, those who were provided with containers were more likely to recycle. Moreover, when recycling was more difficult, people with positive attitudes were more likely to recycle than people with negative attitudes. When containers were provided, making recycling easy, people with negative attitudes were just as likely to recycle as were people with positive attitudes.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The lack of sexual interest among these children is likely a product of the adaptive tendency against sexual interest among family members that may have generalized to an aversion to sexual contact with those raised under the same roof. Data from the kibbutz violates the classic finding that people tend to marry their neighbors.
