On the basis of a systematic literature review, this paper studies three types of influencing variables of urban residents' energy use behavior (EUB), including the individual psychology, social condition and family characteristics, and from the perspective of the behavioral developing process, examines different effects of the above three variables on the Chinese urban residents' EUB from such two stages as the intention and implementation. Based on a questionnaire survey to 583 urban residents, the results show that the individual psychological and social conditional variables correlate significantly with EUB while only the average monthly disposable income in the family characteristic variables correlates with EUB significantly; and in the stage of the EUB intent, the individual psychological variables have the most powerful influence whereas in the stage of the EUB implementation, the social conditional variables have the most powerful influence. Finally, the relevant countermeasures are presented in the paper to improve the EUB of urban residents.
