Several studies have suggested that people might be less likely to engage in proenvironmental behavior subsequent to their prior engagement in proenvironmental behavior. We have conducted a preregistered replication of one such recent study of within-domain licensing in the area of environmental protection. Our replication was extended with an analysis of self-perception as a potential mediator of licensing and environmental attitude as its moderator. The results of our web-based experiment ( N = 1,765) show that recollection of past proenvironmental behavior does not diminish subsequent support of a proenvironmental energy policy or proenvironmental intention, and that environmental attitude does not moderate licensing. We only found some evidence of an indirect effect of recollection on subsequent policy support and proenvironmental intention, mediated by self-perception; the pattern of mediation is, however, inconsistent with the licensing theory. We have not replicated the licensing effect observed in the original study.

The multi-domain operation, although still insufficiently developed from a theoretical and, above all, practical point of view, can summarize the paradigm shift produced at the strategic level, a change caused by the developments in the current security environment. However, although this type of operation includes new types of technologies developed mainly as a pragmatic need by the tactical level and aims to achieve coherent solutions to counter the A2AD (anti-access and interdiction) threat at the strategic level, the coordination of the aspects necessary to carry out such operations currently seem rather difficult to achieve by the operational level, which aims at innovatively combining the specific tactics of the services to achieve operational and strategic level objectives. We consider that what is currently lacking as a tool for planning and conducting military actions is how to achieve interdomains effects. Thus, in this article we will analyze the extent to which obtaining inter-domains effects in multi-domain operations can represent the necessary binder to implement such an operation.
