- Avoider: It refers to lobbying against products harmful to all living species and nature, such as avoiding purchasing environmentally harmful packaging containers and suppressing the use of products that threaten animal species [68].
- Green consumer: This profile describes an individual who keeps in mind sustainable development and has a genuine concern for environmental degradation [68]. Their strong moral ethics and need to make a difference guide them to acquire eco-friendly goods or services [69]. Depending on the potential advantages for the environment and society, a person may engage in this conduct.
- Waste Preventer: It refers to the individual who prevents waste by limiting unnecessary consumption and designing and consuming products that generate less waste. Because it entails some level of personal expense or sacrifice and has a more immediate impact on environmental preservation or protection, it is purer and more active than green consumer behavior. The idea of waste prevention takes into account doing something when buying new things and mending or reusing them instead of replacing them when they are no longer useful [70].

6. Conclusions
- Personality Traits Influence Pro-Environmental Behaviors: The study establishes that the Big Five personality traits have a significant impact on individuals’ pro-environmental behaviors. This implies that an individual’s inherent personality traits play a crucial role in shaping their environmental attitudes and actions.
- Values and Beliefs Shape Pro-Environmental Norms: The study validates the theoretical framework of the extended VBN theory, indicating that values and beliefs about the environment influence the formation of personal norms. This suggests that individuals’ internalized values and beliefs are powerful drivers of their pro-environmental intentions and actions.
- External Influences Play a Role: The study underscores the role of external influences, such as social pressure and cultural norms, in shaping pro-environmental behaviors. This finding highlights the importance of considering the broader socio-cultural context when designing interventions to promote sustainable behaviors.
- Behavioral Typology: The research sets the foundation for understanding how different personality traits might align with specific pro-environmental behaviors. This opens the door to developing targeted interventions tailored to individuals’ personality profiles, thereby increasing the effectiveness of behavior change campaigns.
- Applicability to Emerging Economies: The study’s focus on an emerging economy like Ecuador adds value to the global discourse on environmental conservation. It highlights that even in resource-constrained settings, personality traits can play a significant role in driving positive environmental behaviors.
- Implications for Policy and Interventions: The insights gained from this research can inform the design of more effective environmental education campaigns, policy initiatives, and interventions that leverage individuals’ personality traits to encourage sustainable behaviors. For instance, strategies could be customized to resonate with the values and tendencies of different personality types.
- Need for Further Research: While this study provides a substantial contribution to the field, it also underscores the need for further research in different contexts and with larger, more diverse samples. Exploring the interplay of personality traits and pro-environmental behaviors in various cultural, economic, and geographic settings can enrich our understanding of these dynamics.
