Abstract | The New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale is used worldwide to predict people's environmental worldviews. However, some researchers criticize its unidimensional structure and limited ability to predict pro-environmental behavior (PEB). The Two Major Environmental Values (2-MEV) scale, which considers environmental attitudes in two dimensions--"preservation" and "utilization"--may overcome these deficiencies. To examine if the 2-MEV exceeds the NEP scale in predictability of people's environmental attitudes in China and its applicability to Chinese children, we modified the 2-MEV scale in Chinese and used it to question 490 students (aged 9-12) in China. The results show that the modified version demonstrated good reliability and internal consistency. Furthermore, the 2-MEV demonstrated significantly a higher predictive power of PEB than the NEP. We thus contend the 2-MEV is a promising measurement for gauging Chinese children's environmental attitudes. The application of the 2-MEV in different contexts and the improvement of NEP was discussed. (As Provided). |
