Ecological literacy in a context of first-year college students

This research focused on the knowledge and behavior components of ecological literacy as it pertains to a sample of first-year students at a large land grant university. Specifically, a four-point typology of environmentally responsible behaviors for first-year college students was identified that included dimensions related to consumer, disposal, reuse and conservation activities. The results of the typology were subsequently used to develop attitude and behavior scales to determine the viability of a value-attitude-behavior hierarchy as it relates to environmentally responsible behavior of first-year college students.
